Road to Riches

from FMGF5 by Black Linen

about

Road to Riches is the anthem to FMGF5. It's synonymous to the Rags to Riches story, but not quite. This is more of a call to true riches while facing the adversity of Naysayers, and Name slayers, and obstacles thereof.

lyrics

On this road to Riches
Yeah
I'm on this road to Riches
Yeah, Yeah
We on this road to Riches
Yeah, Yeah
I'm on this Road to Riches

Chorus:

Yeah I'm hoping I don't fail,
and darkness don't prevail,
riding down this open trail,
on this Road to Riches.

I hope that I succeed,
Tryna get Free,
still thinking bout these G's
on this Road to Riches.

Cuz life is such a struggle,
when you gotta hustle,
Mannnn trying not to fumble,
on this Road to Riches.

I hope I still believe,
my faith will never leave me,
still living out my dreams,
on this Road to Riches.

Verse 1:

Yeah, and a young brother still boomin,
still getting to the paper,
don't worry bout me lil nigga
imma always get through it.
This shallow world I see through it.
I'm grateful for my influence.
This volume 5, I got all eyes
up on my verses & muses.
Don't try to play me for stupid.
I be cool, but I'm ruthless.
My niggas likely the truest, hey
we don't jump to conclusions.
I stay finessing the pen,
then put that verse in the wind.
I'm poetically justified,
so hope in the driver side,
and let me show you how to get that dough.
I was born in the 80's baby,
Generation Blow,
I'm from the South, so
you know I'm on my hustle & my flow.
They stay scanning through my pages
tryna build of their report, but
my repertoire is Don Da Da,
I control the Shottas.
No I'm not a mobsta,
I'm just a fire starter.
To all my Holy Martyr's,
hope we live to see tomorrow,
Cause passion we got lots of,
hey never will we falter,
on this Road to Riches.

Chorus:

Yeah I'm hoping I don't fail,
and darkness don't prevail,
riding down this open trail,
on this Road to Riches.

I hope that I succeed,
Tryna get Free,
still thinking bout these G's
on this Road to Riches.

Cuz life is such a struggle,
when you gotta hustle,
Mannnn trying not to fumble,
on this Road to Riches.

I hope I still believe,
my faith will never leave me,
still living out my dreams,
on this Road to Riches.

Verse 2:

Enslaved by this crucifix,
A crown of thorns with a bowed head.
Cross my heart that's my daily bread.
Culture shock, but I'm use to this.
My foundation on solid ground.
I slips up, get up again.
I speak pictures, and I see sound.
I go so hard, I can change the wind.
When I walk through they feel a cool breeze.
Never let em tell you what you need to do.
Just do you, and I guarantee.
I know niggas wit no degrees,
right now got a hunet g's.
I know niggas wit three degrees,
right now got no cheese.
Acting like they on't even know me.
Nigga please, I'm on the scene,
going hard like a dope fiend.
7thSoana still got a dream.
North Charlotte be the home team.
Doing just what a nigga pose to do.
Legendary like Ali.
You can't ride wit me
if you got cold feet.
Shawdy, Fuck Money,
nigga Get Free.
If it aint Free don't call me.
I'm on a mission cuz talk is cheap.
Gotta stay moving these hand & feet.
Properly, 12 degrees, Celsius
Thats 400 in Fahrenheit (secret meaning)
It's our time, we taking flight.
I work the room like potpourri,
picture me, no cameras please.
