Lil Rod’s “Been Broke” discusses a situation that anyone that has had to skimp and save between paychecks will understand. There are two distinct messages that are promoted during this message – that the sheer grit and determination of individuals may be what is needed to bring one out these dire situations. The feature laid down by Squalla further hammers home how distinct the difference between richer and poorer can be. The song is able to come forth with a strong backing beat and just enough of a R&B infused hook to impart a bit of a pop sound to the composition.
