Teddy Swims - Broke

 
1
Copied!

{Intro}
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

{Chorus}
I'm so used to being broke
But not no more
I'm buying all the things I never could afford
Like what the hell?
Top shelf
We gon' toast tonight to temporary wealth
Mama told me baby, save it, knowing me I probably won't
All this money in my pocket gotta go
I'm so used to being broke
(One, two, three)

{Verse 1}
Remember days like just last week
There wasn't nothin' in the kitchen left to eat
Girl, what you want? (What you want?)
Go pick it out (Pick it out)
My wallet looking bigger than my belly now
Girl, what a shame (What a shamе)
They slept on me (Yеah, yeah, yeah)
They're coming back and now they crawling on their knees
Ain't nothing changed (Yeah, yeah)
Same old me (Yeah)
Came up on some change but that doesn't change a thing

{Chorus}
I'm so used to being broke
But not no more
I'm buying all the things I never could afford
Like what the hell? (What the hell?)
Top shelf (Top shelf)
We gon' toast tonight to temporary wealth
Mama told me baby, save it, knowing me I probably won't
All this money in my pocket gotta go
I'm so used to being broke

{Verse 2}
Yeah, uh
Dropping out of college, said goodbye to that degree (Oh yeah)
Playing every college party from Georgia to Tennessee (Let's go)
Packin' six up in a van
Six string in my hands
Circlin' in parking lots
Drinkin' Natty out the can (Yeah)
They sayin' that I'm rich but I couple dollars to blow (You know, yeah, you know)
Yeah, we gon' celebrate tonight (Aw yeah)
With some champagne on some ice (Ooh)
'Cause you can't take it with you when you go

{Chorus}
I'm so used to being broke (Broke)
But not no more (Not no more)
I'm buying all the things I never could afford (Never could afford)
Like what the hell? (What the hell?)
Top shelf (Top shelf)
We gon' toast tonight to temporary wealth (Ooh, ooh)
Mama told me baby, save it, knowing me I probably won't
All this money in my pocket gotta go
I'm so used to being broke

{Outro}
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Ah)
One, two, three

Biography

Teddy Swims, whose real name is Jaten Dimsdale, is an American singer-songwriter hailing from Atlanta, Georgia. Born on September 25, 1992, he grew up imbued with a rich tapestry of musical influences that ranged from classic rock, soul, R&B, to country. This eclectic taste in music would later manifest in his genre-fluid cover songs and original music.

Raised in a family that appreciated the arts, Teddy found his passion for music early on. He cultivated his voice and presence within the walls of church choirs, which is a common starting point for many soulful singers. The moniker "Swims" is an acronym for "Someone Who Isn't Me Sometimes," which reflects Teddy's philosophy of being free to be different versions of himself, and spreading love and positivity through his music.

In his mid-20s, after various stints in different bands and jobs outside of music, including a period of working as a tattoo artist, Teddy decided to take a leap of faith and focus solely on his music career. He shot to viral fame in 2019 after posting cover videos on YouTube that showcased his deep, soulful voice and remarkable ability to infuse songs from a wide variety of genres with his unique sound.

His cover of "I Can't Make You Love Me," originally by Bonnie Raitt, became a turning point, garnering millions of views and thrusting him into the spotlight almost overnight. What truly captivated the audience was not just his voice, but his authentic emotional delivery that made each cover feel personal and original.

Aside from covers, Teddy Swims also writes his own music, drawing from personal experiences and feelings. His original work carries the same emotional weight and genre-blending qualities as his covers. With a focus on heartfelt lyrics and melodies, his original songs display his versatility as a musician and his depth as a songwriter.

Teddy's debut EP, "Unlearning," released in 2021, showcases his journey of self-reflection and growth, both personal and musical. With his ever-growing online following, sold-out tours, and a voice that transcends genres, Teddy Swims has not only made a space for himself within the music industry but has also touched the hearts of listeners worldwide.

His journey continues to inspire as Teddy evolves as an artist, pushing the boundaries of music, and serving as a reminder of the uniting power of song. Whether through covers or original music, Teddy Swims aims to reach audiences on a deeply emotional level and to continue to swim against the current of any one genre, redefining what it means to be an artist in the process.
