On “Broke As Fuck,” Cordae details painful emotions brought upon by his grandmother’s passing and the murder of his cousin but also uses the track to hype himself up moving forward.
“I was in a studio and I was like, man, I need some more bangers for this project. This is like the last song I recorded for the project. I was like, yo, I need some more heavy hitters because the only joint I really got is “Have Mercy” and “Lost and Found,” which was the outro. So, I was like “Yo, need one more heavy hitter to like signify the middle of the track, but still fits the storyline.” I was in the lab with Day Trip and Kidd and they started playing the keys with the drums We didn’t even have the drop at first.
I heard the keys and they just remind me of some like real trap-ass shit. And then, it made me think I was broke as fuck down. I just started spinning off the top like, “ I was broke as fuck. Down up on my ass. Had the lowest luck. Used to ride the bike up to the store. I need a rover truck.” That beat took me back to when a time where I was just hungry as fuck. When I was just a hungry, a starving artist, because it’s nobody more hungry and more like a more willing to make something out of nothing then a starving artist.
It took me back to the times I was in high school, when I was in college. We used to ride our bikes everywhere to Chick-fil-a, to the mall to fucking… We took our bikes everywhere and we was youngins too. We used to take our bikes like across town or like girl’s house who lived in the other neighborhoods. You know what I’m saying? We used to take them shits everywhere and think like, “Man, I need a Rover.” Even Rover trucks are like fairly new. You know what I’m saying?“ - Cordae via Genius Answer
