Been Broke
From Broken to Bliss: Unraveling the Wisdom Behind Bailz Pagliacci's 'Been Broke'
Lyrics
Leather jacket like Michael
Wearing a leather jacket, reminiscent of Michael Jackson.
No street cred high fico
No credibility on the streets, but a high credit score (fico).
Watch when they hate is a eye soar
Being cautious when people express hatred as it is a source of discomfort.
No they can't guard me on iso
Confident in one's ability to excel in isolation (iso), possibly in reference to basketball.
Gotta mediate till I cope
Engaging in meditation to deal with challenges and stress.
Since all this time we ain't know
Despite the passage of time, there is still much to discover or understand.
Happiness ain't from cash flow
True happiness doesn't come solely from financial success.
Made more sense when you been broke
Life makes more sense when you have experienced being broke.
Leather jacket like Michael
