If it ain't about the money Ain't no use in you ringin' my line, stop wasting my time.
A broke nigga is someone who can not afford gold and bling, or even their monthly expenses and typical bills. In the past this term was not used at all, but in recent years many rap songs and musical references talk about a broke nigga. The term can be used regardless of the skin color or ethnic background and simply means someone who is always broke and goes without much of the time.
