Mansa Musa by Griot B Lyrics
I’m rich like Mansa Musa, Dahomey she’s my shooter
I keep hammers on all my amazons
Stay strapped like an ACE bandage on
She got a rifle pointed at you
Long barrel sweeper that broom
Red dot at your Bindu I’ll blast you to Timbuktu
That’s where I keep all my books though
Blue eyes wanna take a look, no
They’ve never seen a college before
Like University of Sankore
They steady throwing that salt and that shade
But it switch it for gold like Tenkamenin’s trade
Cus’ knowledge of hate always Trumps any hate
And heart for yourself will cut diamonds like spades
Samori Ture, I won’t let evil invade
This gold mind of mine, my brain is Wangara
Building on my reign like my name was Taharqa
Fasseke this Griot is a Balla
I got gold all on my watch
But if you think my worth is just gold you spot
You got me messed up like botched
‘Cus I’m
Rich like Mansa Musa
Rich like, Rich like Mansa Musa
‘Cus I’m
Rich like Mansa Musa
Rich like, Rich like Mansa Musa
I got Stacks, I got Brains, I got Facts
Ain't no Chains ‘cus I’m
Rich like Mansa Musa
Rich like, Rich like Mansa Musa
Yeah I’m rich like Mansa Musa
Sacrifice like Montezuma
Shaka Zulu he’s my tutor, He taught me to be a ruler
You gotta switch up your strategy
Gotta keep it moving, no atrophy
Be the talented tenth like W.E.B
But work on your trade like your Booker T
Be creative with your mind so you can tell a queen
I can work with them yams, Carter G
Looking at Forbes, Harpo couldn’t beat me
Nah, Harpo couldn’t beat me
Wearing color purple like a Prince and I reign
In a red corvette is how I came
It’s a 99, but it’s fast. Bought it used straight cash
‘Cuz I stack and I save, ten percent of what I make
Black Wall Street Rich, Suzanne Shank
First verse was knowledge of self, were you getting it?
This verse, knowledge of wealth. Get literate!
Flexing on the gram like an idiot
Playing yourself dog, that’s who you’re kidding with
But I’m
Rich like Mansa Musa
Rich like, Rich like Mansa Musa
‘Cus I’m
Rich like Mansa Musa
Rich like, Rich like Mansa Musa
I got Stacks, I got Brains, I got Facts
Ain't no Chains ‘cus I’m
Rich like Mansa Musa
Rich like, Rich like Mansa Musa
I’m rich like Madam CJ Walker
Picture me rolling.. Skrrr down the street
With my girls. Hair on Fleek
Yeah I’m rich like Madam CJ Walker
Picture me rolling…Skrrr down the street
With my girl, her hair on fleek
Yeah she’s a strong black women like Maxine
OWN her own business like Winfrey
She’s CROWND like Jamece
Queen like Nefertiti
Iron sharpens Iron, but no tools on my team
I’m CEO rich because the company keep
We
‘Cus I’m
Rich like Mansa Musa
Rich like, Rich like Mansa Musa
‘Cus I’m
Rich like Mansa Musa
Rich like, Rich like Mansa Musa
I got Stacks, I got Brains, I got Facts
