Broke Minds Think Alike (Vocal) Lyrics
2for5 - “Broke Minds Think Alike”
[Emcee(s): Ace Lover and Oktober]
[Producer(s): Spier1200]
[Scratches: Spier1200]
[Sample (Melody): Don Ellis - “Whiplash” (0:51)]
[Hook: Ace Lover and Oktober]
We A-Alike, B-Alike, C-Alike
We A-Alike, be alike, see alike too
[Verse 1: Ace Lover]
Just being
Broke gives me more than a good enough reason to player-hate
How that man over there eating and we ain't? I can’t
Relate to what he's saying in his verse. Now I'm getting jealous
Of him talking about his Lexus, just making it work
They got the game in reverse. How they getting paid and we ain’t?
Man, which one of these lames should we bring it to first?
They got money and cars and a nice house, living a nice
Lifestyle but ain't got no real type of shit to write about
Rappers acting brand-new—now look, there ain't none
They blew up but moved up out of their hood and forgot where they came from
That's why I'm vexed. High stairway, I dial in the breasts
If I'm broke, but I don't sweat it ‘cause that's when rappers be coming with their best shit
I need to get this dough one way or another
‘Cause, homeboy, Ace Lover ready to explode
‘Cause he still ain’t receiving no royalty paychecks, and if
You know where I’m coming from, then I don't have to say anything else

We A-Alike, B-Alike, C-Alike
Broke minds think alike (“Ain’t that right, fool?”)
We A-Alike, be alike, see alike too
Broke minds think alike (“Ain't that right, fool?”)
[Samples with Scratches by Spier1200]
“I'm recognized by the illest of individuals” - Sample from AZ on AZ ft. Nas - “Gimme Yours”
“Nah'mean?”
“We’ll be leaving with some kind of dough” - Sample from AZ on AZ ft. Nas - “Gimme Yours”
“I'm recognized by the illest of individuals” - Sample from AZ on AZ ft. Nas - “Gimme Yours”
“Nah'mean?”
“You got to check what you go for”
[Verse 2: Oktober]
Yo, they say that
Broke minds think alike—they wasn't kidding, Ace
They're getting paid while we hustle for a dinner plate
I deserve a million for ripping a written page
Instead, they spit in my face with minimum wage. These punk
Bitch rappers got half of the skills that we possess
I feel like snatching the ice off of their weasel chest. I don't
Eat unless I'm receiving the checks, and there's no
Peace unless I'm relieving my stress, so un-
-til then, I'm focused on the multibillions
‘Cause I gotta save myself if I wanna save the children
Raise a roof over my head, keep building
If my stomach and pockets is filled, then we chilling
So if you got a plate, fool, move aside. I paid
Dues and about to get loose with mine
Oktober got hustle beyond deuce and dime
So I'm still going for broke, slinging 2for5
