Broke by Design (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Corner store window, screen is black as glass

Bass in my chest, I got nothing else to cash

Cash machine swiped me three times running cold

Every bill I get gets eaten like it's sold

Two-step reflection, neon bleeding through the blinds

Same four bars and a pocket that runs thin

City's counting hours while mine's burning free

Nothing here is stable but the way it makes me feel

Pre-Chorus

So what if I don't have it

I got this right in front of me now

What if every dollar

Is just something I can throw away somehow

Chorus

Broke by design, broke on purpose, broke and still on fire

Don't need a fortune to move my soul like that tonight

I'm not counting pennies when the room is already mine

I was never built for stable — I was made for this kind of life

Verse 2

Subwoofer shaking through the speaker stacks

Riot in the rafters and nobody's looking back

Tax man don't care if the night runs late or long

He wants a number, not what my heart sings along

Rent's due Monday but I'm dancing with the lights

Every bill I owe gets written out tonight

Somebody's profit is always somebody else's debt

I pay mine forward by forgetting how to regret

Pre-Chorus

So what if I don't have it

I got this right in front of me now

What if every dollar

Is just something I can throw away somehow

Chorus

Broke by design, broke on purpose, broke and still on fire

Don't need a fortune to move my soul like that tonight

I'm not counting pennies when the room is already mine

I was never built for stable — I was made for this kind of life

Bridge

They call it reckless, we call it living free

Something that ain't owned can't be stolen from me

I don't need a nest egg to know who I am tonight

This fire burns hotter than any bank account light

Chorus

Broke by design, broke on purpose, broke and still on fire

Don't need a fortune to move my soul like that tonight

I'm not counting pennies when the room is already mine

I was never built for stable — I was made for this kind of life
