I'm Broke
Limp Bizkit · Significant Other
So you should get a pen
And write yourself a little note so you don't forget again
That when it comes to cash
I've been gettin smoked
Lendin' out my money
Now I'm broke
Somebody's gettin' choked
Cause now its time to pay the piper
Bums are the type of shit that's in a diaper
Don't make me have to call a sniper
And wipe your brains off my windshield wiper you dirty bug
As soon as I get paid they come in masses
There's someone givin' classes on kissin' peoples asses
Unless you're livin where the trash is
Don't even come around here askin' where my cash is
Me I'm broke
Me I'm broke.
I aint no joke
I'll say it once again
And if I get provoked there'll be knuckles on your chin
Some people never learn
Borrowin from me you might regret it
For one I ain't no bank and you got shitty credit
As soon as I get paid they're comin' out the woodwork
Take your ass and get a job like you should jerk
Unless you're livin where the trash is
But you're not so find another spot where the cash is
Me, I'm broke
Me, I'm broke
Gimme back my money, bum
You said you'd pay me back
I'm broke and for that
You deserve a smackin' for slackin'
Now people say I'm a slacker
If I'm a slacker
Then its through the eyes of the ones that are blind
You said you'd pay me back
I'm broke and for that
You deserve a smackin' for slackin'
Now people say I'm a slacker
If I'm a slacker
Then its through the eyes of the ones that are blind(2x)
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala
(Gimme back my money my money my money)
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala
You said you'd pay me back
I'm broke and for that
You deserve a smackin' for slackin'
Now people say I'm a slacker
If I'm a slacker
Then its through the eyes of the ones that are blind(2x)
About I'm Broke
"I'm Broke" is a defining track from Limp Bizkit's 2003 album *Significant Other*, serving as a cornerstone of the nu-metal genre's mainstream explosion. The song features the band's signature blend of aggressive rapping and melodic guitar riffs, driven by Fred Durst's distinctive vocal delivery and the song's central theme of financial desperation and personal struggle. Released during a period of intense commercial success for the group, the recording exemplifies the raw energy and lyrical directness that characterized their work in the early 2000s. As a staple of their discography, the track remains a recognizable representation of the era's alternative rock sound and the band's ability to translate contemporary social anxieties into a high-energy musical format that resonated with a global audience.
