K-Rino - I Got 5 On It (Economic Blueprint) lyrics

[Produced by Tone Capone] [Hook: singer] I got 5 on it, brothers, sisters, family I got 5 on it, help your nation to be free I got 5 on it, time to build our unity I got 5 on it, freedom, justice and equality [Verse 1: K-Rino] No cash, so broke it ain't funny, black Everybody wondering where the money at Looking to the government, you should be done with that Cause this economy is dead, no coming back We can be free tomorrow, we just don't know it Been here for centuries and got nothing to show for it We chase paper, even hustle on the low for it Muhammad got a program, we need to go for it Simple solution to wipe every expense away All you gotta do is save 5 cents a day No, I didn't say 5 dollars or five 20's Or 500, I said a nickel or 5 pennies That's all it takes to get this thing cracking Asking for jobs is played out, that ain't happening Before the fall of America hit ya Invest in your own future, it's a whole nation with ya [Hook] [Verse 2: K-Rino] See, Farrakhan said it's time to live independent No more ignorance and frivolous spending Religious lines, our unity should be transcended You tryna cling to a world whose life's fast ending Following stupidly, no more excuses, G The truth be, if you're poor it's cause you choose to be We can do it and create our own reparations Preparation for separation, no trepidations We gotta stop blowing money in this hell zone 24 inch rims and two cellphones Cigarettes and liquor, clothes and petty j**els Video games and 200 dollar tennis shoes Fast food, d**, movies and tattoos We don't own nothing but big debt and bad moods A trillion dollars we working with, that's power, black You telling me we can't take some nickels out of that? [Hook] [Verse 3: K-Rino] Now let me break it down to you real sweet A nickel a day equals 35 cents a week Multiplied by 52 weeks with nothing spent Means in one year, that's 18 dollars and 20 cents Per person, so now let's go to the next stage It's 16 million of us earning a wage Multiply that by the 18.20 we saved 365 days, $290 million made A nation established, ours where everybody paid Independent, no more begging for financial aid Owning land and our own resources to trade And from only 5 cents, that foundation was laid Now everybody got a chance to advance Legitimate school, somewhere to live and farm land And that's real freedom for the original man No more knocking on Master's door, sticking out your hand [Hook]
