On the road to riches lines clean no meter maid Bandana Split – Us

A play on words, I’m on the road to riches, roads have lines, lines also refer to lines in my raps, and my lines are clean ( dope, nice) without a meter maid, which has various meanings:
1. I don’t rely on anyone, I’m not paying anyone along the way
2: I’m not making any stops
3. No one is helping me make my lines so nice ( meter MAID, like a cleaning maid)

Simply put, in this song, Bandana exposes the lives and aspirations of the stereotypical African American in today’s society.
