[Hook]
Dead broke I been thinking baby what you mean
Dream of bankrolls I been counting money in my sleep
Bruh I lay low aint tryna be recognized in streets
How the fame go i'll probably be dead by 33

Dead broke I been thinking baby what you mean
Dream of bankrolls I been counting money in my sleep

Bruh I lay low aint tryna be recognized in streets
How the fame go i'll probably be dead by 33

[Verse 1]
Who the fuck do i know here im buzzing like computers
I done lived this way since senior year my brother was my tutor
If I don't know what you want then imma see you as intruder
Cuz nobody move for nothing measure distance like a ruler
And that's one shot for my kinfolk
The ones who blessed my cig smoke
The ones who never left when I been at the end of my rope
My bitch know we only here till I go change the zip code
Got my mind made up I ain't leaving till my bank grow
Got two eyes blurry no direction where im heading
Pass the stop signs gleaming I aint stopping I been jetting
Get my drink each season need a buzz in every setting
And i'm real uneasy cuz this silence is upsetting
What you wanting imma pause it shortie sucking for deposit
Shortie fiending give her options I'm a demon she agnostic
Girl am I too philosophic your flow sick but i'm bubonic
I bring magic in a tonic call it spell omari hardwick

[Hook]
Dead broke I been thinking baby what you mean

Dead broke I been thinking baby what you mean
Dream of bankrolls I been counting money in my sleep

Bruh I lay low aint tryna be recognized in streets
How the fame go i'll probably be dead by 33
