[Intro: Rittz]
Right... yeah... {*4X*}

[Rittz]
Summertime ridin on Sugarloaf
Group of people tryin to flag me down and beep they horn
Yellin out the window at me sayin "Rittz bitch!
We proud of you homie, keep it goin!"
And my reaction?
I was smilin ear to ear up in Sugarloaf Mills shoppin off in Manhattan
Fans askin me shit while I'm pickin out clothes
Used to wish that I'd be famous for this rappin then it happened
Homie said I'm snappin, I dapped him up
Took a pic for Instagram in Sunglasses Hut
I told him "Post it up and tag me bruh
I'll follow back, spread the word," I don't ask for much
And that's some real shit
One of my friends said "Does that get hard to deal with?"
Fuck no man, I'm hopin that I still get
love five years down the road from now or when it's over
I'm about to soak it up until then
People starin at me in the restaurant
On the days I want 'em to nobody know it's me
But when I'm in my comfy clothes and leave
the house someone gonna notice me and come approach, I see
a kid walkin to my table
My girlfriend said "Fuck!" She ain't tryin to be ungrateful
She just hate that she can't leave the house without her makeup
People post shit on Facebook and end up sayin somethin hateful
Homie wasn't tryin to take a pic of us
He said "I can't believe it's you, I keep up with your stuff
Your music got me through a stint in rehab
and a bad breakup, I relate so much
You're blowin up now," he said "It's gotta feel great that you're paid
and you made it, I bet your life changed a bunch"
I told him everything's great, I done made a little name
Maybe one day the pay'll come

[Chorus: Rittz]
Cause I'm broke and famous (right... yeah...)
Takin pics with total strangers
When you're broke and famous (right... yeah...)
Everyone knows what your name is
When you're broke and famous (right... yeah...)
Kinda feels like I done made it
Still I'm broke and famous (right... yeah...)
Broke and famous

[Rittz]
Yeah, uh
I just made it down to South By Southwest
and hollered at the league of extraordinary G's, me and Gabo out there
Kickin it, took a picture with a kid
He told me keep it Strange and then he asked me is my album out yet
What? I said "Yeah muh'fucker
'Jonny Valiant' dropped last year, fuck you been?"
Then I realized just because people recognize you don't mean they bump your shit
But some people think I done struck it rich
Because my shit is in the stores and I did a lot of tours
and they seen me on the Cypher on the BET Awards
I figured I'd get 100,000 Twitter followers, that was that
I didn't, I'm not complainin, this is all fact
Take a flight to L.A. and New York
Doin radio interviews, openin huge doors
Money spent is to-wards your budget
You ate good for a minute, it's finished and now you gotta pay it all back
When I get frustrated gotta fall back
And recall back, when I called that
number for Le Cordon Bleu, I gotta study for my GED
I'm broke as fuck and need a job bad
Fast forward to now, my bank account ain't huge
But this is a decent way to live
I get to do my dream job
Homie workin at the wing spot askin me to take a pic
Yeah

[Chorus]

[Outro: Rittz]
Right... yeah... {*3X, fades out*}
