Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Grant & Franklin
Names we'll go great lengths to obtain their affection
They play both sides of the coin
The long hustle, daily grind which few will follow
The fast, illegal way that most will join
We want those 5 in our inner surroundings
Which will lead to divide and decline
For the love of Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Grant & Franklin
They leave bodies on the sidewalks
Peter robbing Paul
Just when you think you have enough
That addiction kick in
And you're in it for the long haul
He may be portrayed as red but green flows through the veins of the devil
Rappers, Drug Dealers and even CEO's
Fall under the code that money is the root of all evil
We take what little change is earned and spend it on lotteries
With dreams of easy living
Houses, cars and clothes -- trying to live rich people fantasies
Instead of using money to help the future stay in the right frame
Out of our minds we spend it foolishly
Taking photos in our big ass chains
Good & Bad, Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Grant & Franklin provides a way
But when we past away, it won't travel with us.
Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away.
