(Jaguar make a joke)
I'd rather be broke than famous
Rather be broke than famous
Sellin' my soul for changes
Better than sellin' out stages if that means
To sell my soul in exchange to gain it all
I'd rather be broke than famous
Rather be broke than famous, yeah
Okay, came to the city with a dollar and a dream
Had to find out that everything ain't what it seems
Starlight's got a young boy goin' blind
It's like every time I rhyme, all they see is dollar signs
I be out here on the grind, prayin' one day they gon' find me
All my shit go viral, motherfuckers wanna sign me
Baby, I was home, there's not a whole city behind me
Flip to Ls into a W and call that Origami, uh
I think they knew that I was starving, mm
They kept on callin'
But the deal with the Devil ain't a bargain, mm
I beg your pardon
Yeah-yeah, I'd rather be broke than famous
Rather be broke than famous
Sellin' my soul for changes
Better than sellin' out stages if that means
To sell my soul in exchange to gain it all, yeah
I'd rather be broke than famous
Rather be broke than famous, yeah
I'd rather be a misfit, I'd rather be a dreamer
Rather be a reject, rather be a leader
Than to be a part of this shit that you call in the street now
Heard on the other side, the grass is always greener
Indies won't get in, stars wanna get out
Everybody want what they don't have, and that's what this about
One day, you'll be up on cloud nine, next you're fallin' down
Time is the only one who gon' decide who makes it out
I think they knew that I was starving, mm
They kept on callin'
But the deal with the Devil ain't a bargain, mm
I beg your pardon
Yeah-yeah, I'd rather be broke than famous
Rather be broke than famous
Sellin' my soul for changes
Better than sellin' out stages if that means
To sell my soul in exchange to gain it all, yeah
I'd rather be broke than famous
Rather be broke than famous, yeah
I'd rather be broke than famous
Rather be broke than famous
I'd rather be broke than famous
Rather be broke than famous
I'd rather be broke than famous
Rather be broke than famous
I'd rather be broke than famous
Rather be broke than famous
