Chorus 1
Today I'm broke
But tomorrow I'll be rich
Tomorrow is the future
And everything's gonna be better
Chorus 1
So I forget my problems
And even the bad feels good
And nobody can bring me down
Today I'm broke
Verse 1
But tomorrow I'll be rich
Chorus 2
Tomorrow is the future
And everything's gonna be better
Chorus 2
So I forget my problems
And even the bad feels good
And nobody can bring me down
Because tomorrow I'm rich
That's a fact
And all those b*tches wanna hang with me
Cause then I own a club and a whole hood
And I even have a golden mic
And there's a diamond on every finger
A boat, a jet-ski and my own beach
A pretty planet and my own land
And models calling me non-stop
5-star chef who cooks for me
And in the shed, a movie theater
A helicopter always on standby
Stocked with champagne and caviar
But right now I'm Mister Solo, make me dozo
My name's a logo, so take a photo
And those who hate me are free promo
So I thank all those lowlows, cause this one
This one is for you, this one is for you
This one's for you for you and also for you
This one is for you, this one is for you
This one's for you for you and also for you
Today I'm broke
But tomorrow I'll be rich
Tomorrow is the future
And everything's gonna be better
So I forget my problems
And even the bad feels good
And nobody can bring me down
Today I'm broke
But tomorrow I'll be rich
Tomorrow is the future
And everything's gonna be better
So I forget my problem
And even the bad feels good
And nobody can bring me down
Today I'm broke in the gutter
And I work my *ss off for a little bread
I've got a sofa and a desk
And one f*cked-up phone
My bed is almost falling apart
From all that misery after 15 years
And my landlord can do nothing but nag
Cause I still haven't paid the rent
My shower's cold and half f*cked
I've got an iMac, that's f*cked
I've got an iPad, in my dreams
And the internet's been cut off
But soon I'll have hits like 50, dough like Diddy
I'm a man with balls, every skirt a skinny
My life's like a Disney movie
But someday I'll lean on a milli, cause this one
This one is for you, this one is for you
This one's for you, for you and also for you
This one is for you, this one is for you
This one's for you, for you and also for you
Today I'm broke
But tomorrow I'll be rich
Tomorrow is the future
And everything's gonna be better
So I forget my problems
And even the bad feels good
And nobody can bring me down
Today I'm broke
But tomorrow I'll be rich
Tomorrow is the future
And everything's gonna be better
So I forget my problems
And even the bad feels good
And nobody can bring me down
This one is for you, this one is for you
This one's for you, for you and also for you
This one is for you, this one is for you
This one's for you, for you and also for you

SONG MEANING

Ever caught yourself day-dreaming about leaping from empty pockets to dripping in gold overnight? That is exactly what Dutch rapper Gers Pardoel invites you to do in “Morgen Ben Ik Rijk” (Tomorrow I Will Be Rich). Over an upbeat groove he repeats the mantra “Vandaag ben ik broke, maar morgen ben ik rijk,” turning today's money worries into tomorrow's victory dance. Instead of drowning in bills, he imagines diamond-covered fingers, private beaches, a helicopter stocked with champagne and even his own planet. The track is a playful reminder that optimism can be a powerful survival tool when life feels tight.

Beneath the glittery wish list lies a down-to-earth message: hope keeps you moving. Pardoel contrasts his broken bed, cold showers and unpaid rent with outrageous future riches to show how dreaming big fuels perseverance. By laughing at hardship and loudly claiming a better tomorrow, he teaches listeners to swap despair for determination. Sing along, picture your own “morgen,” and feel the lift that comes from believing the best is yet to come.
