Lyrics for Bone Broke

Look closer, you can see how I been runnin' it I got a dollar bill in the cockpit Suprised being white is a black hole I got another job at the liquor store, damn Oh, well, I'm bone broke They got a white pony in the stable And ride him when the doggie isn't able But he don't really care because they pay him But still a black suit is gonna shake him down Oh well, I'm bone broke Broke as I'll ever be Look another way, girl, I'm telling ya God gave seven minutes right to ya And your mother put her money into platinum And now you never have to pay attention Do ya? Do ya Yeah I'm leanin' on a brick with my nails I'm tellin' them the money's in the mail Keep showin' that my bones never fake it But now the brick bank is gonna break it down Oh, well, I'm bone broke Look another way, girl, I'm telling ya God gave seven minutes right to ya Your mother put her money into platinum So that you wouldn't have to pay attention Right
