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

You ain't free until your only boss is you

We ain't free until cashiers at PicknPay smile at black people too

We ain't free until Thabo can learn to love again

I ain't free if I can give them my heart again

We ain't free until good people rule parliament

We ain't free until Khanyi Mbau is dark again

Cause black is beautiful

But black girls reduce themselves to boodie call

See the man you're tryna impress

Don't reply to your text

He only love you when you're drunk and undressed

Black man they got kids

Black man they not fathers

Side chicks get allowance

Ignore baby mama

Your kid's friend buy a watch as a fathers' day present

But yours just watches 'cause his father ain't present

I make music for him

I make music for them

I make music for people who wanna win at the end

I make music for loyal people who die for their friends

After dying they rise and they go and die for you again

I make music for lovers

I make music for pain

I make music for dreamers, heroes, believers and slaves

So I take it to radio and I ask them to play it

They look straight to my face:

"You know how much you gotta pay, brah, 5 grand"

Freedom is the absence of fear and love of God

Discovering your purpose

And engulfing what you have lost

Forgiving those that hurt you

Cause from them you learn a lot

To conquer your emotion and controlling all your thoughts

Finding hope at any cost

Not to please any human being

Self-believing that inner will never come from Twitter feeds

And to know that jealousy is only there to poison me

That's the first real step to being free
