Black culture has always been rich in history, tradition, family, music, & art. However, the reality of urban households, underprivileged environments, & minority culture as a whole originate from the lack of the fundamental foundation of building generational wealth for our communities.

Well alright
You know my name
I said
Who dat who dat
Knocking at my door?
I said can a young nigga
Get money anymore?
Can a rich nigga feel
Still relate to the poor?
Or does a rich nigga
Still say he want more?
How much a dollar cost?
You ain't gotta be greedy
I know you gettin to it but
What about the needy?
Middle class high class
You know how it go
We never got reparations cuz
They still want us broke
Take the highs with the lows
Pray with my eyes closed
One day it's gon' make sense
Right now it still don't
Uncle Sam too rich
Robinhood don't exist
Can't live broke and happy
And you can't be black and rich
Dang
Yea
Rich Black Poor Black
They won't undеrstand
How we grew up like that
I mеan it wasn't the plan
But we bounced right back
Black culture run the world
What's more valuable than that?
Yea
Aye
Rich Black Poor Black
They won't understand
How we blew up like that
It was always the plan
And we gon run it right back
For the next generation
What's more powerful than that?
I know we grew up grew up
On microwave chicken
Ramen noodle dinners with
The hot sauce in it
Pizza lunchables for lunch
Yea we thought we was winning
Parents had to work late
That's just how we was living
Million dollars worth of game
You gotta earn ya leisure
Gotta be recession proof
During inflated seasons
Generational wealth
I now pledge allegiance
Financial literacy
My legacy needs it!
Right now fam!
TAX RETURNS, W-2s
LLCs, W-9s, 1099s
And all corporations
They ain't teach you that in school
But you graduated
And they ain't wanna give you the tools
But said congratulations
And they know you gettin money
And you ain't gon save it
Listen
When the rain stop pouring
Bank account overflowing
And your skin start glowing
Everybody want some money
Yea

Rich Black Poor Black
They won't understand
How we grew up like that
I mean it wasn't the plan
But we bounced right back
Black culture run the world

And we gon run it right back
For the next generation
What's more powerful than that?
Make ya money
Go make that money
Invest that money and
Go save that money
Re-invest again
Just to make more money
Start a trust fund. Why?
So you babies got money
Once you pay Uncle Sam
He can't take yo money
Credit score 800
You can use the bank money
Just to make more money
Just to make more money
Pay it back through your business
Reinvest all ya money

Carry yourself with pride
Remember that you have won the fight
When you're submerged in darkness find your light
Spread your wings cuz you were born to fly
