"Broke as Fuck" is a song by American rapper YBN Cordae from his debut studio album The Lost Boy (2019). It was produced by Take a Daytrip.
The song contains a trap beat[1] that mainly consists of bass and keyboard.[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.[4] The beat switches halfway through the song.[5][6]
Critical reception
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."[5]
