5 Grand Touchline

[Touchline]

Right
Look what mama did with 5 grand
Every month is what she gets from white man
Washing clothes, scrubbing floors and window wiping
She be back to cook dinner
And help you do assignments
She wakes up and make sure
That she irons your clothes
She put lunch in your bag
As she walk out of the door
She reminds you're special and destined for more
A back room with no bathroom it don't matter its a home
So you grow and get a loan for university
You get your diploma
They call it graduate cause you have to wait for employment
Then you get an internship like this is it
Get paid 5 grand like mama did
So the cycle continues

We're free
Just free from believing life is a prison
But the chains are all the way in our thinking
See, designer clothes but look how empty the fridge is
Guess family is not as important as image
And nigga that's what slave often do
Convenience over truth
Don't care about winning if they can justify the truth
