Die Broke
C-Bo Lyrics

Yeah racecar backwards
I'm starting this song off with a cool word play, but the real topic is how nobody wants to end up broke.

Ain't nobody tryna die broke
Nobody wants to end up with no money to their name.

Get money get money get money get money get money get money
The most important thing to avoid dying broke is to get as much money as possible.

I know I don't wanna die broke
I personally don't want to end up broke either.

Ain't nobody die broke
Having no hope and being strung out on drugs is a surefire way to end up broke and worse.

With no hope
When you feel like you have no hope, it's easy to turn to negative things like drugs and other vices that can lead to financial ruin.

Strung out on dope
Being addicted to drugs can quickly drain your finances and leave you with nothing.

I spit dope
I've got skills and talent that can make me money, as evidenced by the fact that I can make great music ('dope').

My flow dope
My style of rapping is unique and impressive, and can help me earn money for it.

Book a show
Performing live shows is a great way for me to earn money and support my career.

Yeah fasho
Definitely.

I'm gon' show
I'm going to put on a great show, which will help build my brand and earn me money.

With some hoes
Although I respect women, having women with me at shows can help with my image and bring in more fans, which can lead to more money.

Fuck them hoes
This is just a crude way of saying that I don't want to be in a relationship with any of these women - I just want them for image and promotional purposes.

Get some dough
I need to make money to support my career and my life in general.

No disrespect
I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful.

But it's respect
I demand respect for my skills and talent as a rapper and artist.

It's a check
My music and my brand can bring in a lot of money, and that's ultimately what I'm after.

I'm a vet
I've been in the rap game a long time and have earned a lot of respect and admiration from fans and peers alike.

I'm a legend
I'm considered to be one of the greats in the rap game, which only adds to my overall brand value and ability to earn money.

Came right back
This is a reference to my resilience and ability to bounce back from setbacks or failures.

Off the hat
This is another fun word play - it means I came up with this song on the spot, without needing to write anything down.

Thinkin' Cap
When the reference to a 'hat' is taken away, this becomes a way of saying that I'm using my brain to come up with this song.

That was that
I've finished the intro and now it's time to move onto the next topic.

Every track
Each song or track that I produce is an opportunity to make money and further build my brand.

I'm bouncin' back
No setback or struggle will keep me down for too long - I'm always finding a way to come back and bounce back stronger.

Is facts on wax
My raps are real and authentic, and my music is a reflection of my life experiences and personal truths.

I feel like Future when he first made 'Racks On Racks'
Future is a successful rapper who made a lot of money from one of his first big hits - I'm feeling optimistic that I could have a similar hit and make a lot of money from it.

Hold up wait
I need a quick pause here to gather my thoughts and move onto the next topic.

I'mma get the flow right back
I'm quickly regaining my momentum and figuring out what I want to say next in the song.

I'mma pay my student loans
Even successful rappers like me have to worry about paying off their student loans - this is a real-world concern that I have.

Buy Mom Dukes a brand new home
One of my goals is to provide for my family and make sure that they're taken care of, which includes buying a new house for my mother.

I used to be the best new player
I was once the up-and-coming rapper on the scene, and now I'm an established and respected veteran.

Now I'm like Jerry Jones
Jerry Jones is a successful NFL team owner who commands a lot of respect and admiration - I'm comparing myself to him because I feel like I've earned a similar level of success in the music industry.

You know I like everything raw
I like to do things in a real and authentic way, without any fakeness or manipulation.

Grant me like a Genie when she see me
This is another fun word play - I'm saying that when people see me, they should immediately respect and admire me, just like how a Genie grants wishes immediately.

She got Fiji
This might seem like a random reference, but I'm actually talking about expensive water - this is further proof of my desire for wealth and luxurious living.

Talkin' Aquafina Fiji
This is just another way of emphasizing that I'm talking about high-end, expensive water.

Talkin' water like the border
This one is a little more cryptic, but I think it means that I'm talking about something that's very valuable and important, like water is to people who live near the border between two countries.

She got tats of Nefertiti
Nefertiti is a famous and beautiful Egyptian queen, so this reference could be about seeking out beautiful and exotic women.

Love my music always stream it
One way that I can make money is by having people stream and listen to my music online.

Don't wake me up if I'm dreaming
I'm feeling so successful and wealthy that I don't want anyone to wake me up from this dream-like reality.

I'mma run it up before I leave here gone
I want to make as much money and be as successful as possible while I'm still alive and able to enjoy it.
