"Broke as Fuck" is a song by American rapper YBN Cordae from his debut studio album The Lost Boy (2019).
[2] Lyrically, Cordae details his PTSD resulting from traumatic events in his life, such as the death of his grandmother, the murder of his cousin,[3] and his brother being sentenced to prison.
[5][6] Scott Glaysher of HipHopDX regarded the song to be the "biggest and brashest 'banger'" from The Lost Boy.
[7] Leor Galil of Chicago Reader wrote, "when the vitriolic beat on 'Broke as Fuck' transitions into a sumptuous soul melody, he switches gears as smoothly and flawlessly as somebody who's been doing it since birth.
In it, Cordae and his friends ride bicycles to a convenience store, where they cause havoc[8] and shoplift.
