Monopoly

To everybody in the struggle

If somebody ever told you, you couldn't do something

and you still made it happen

Congratulations

So clap for the independent women

So clap for my homies straight thuggin

Clap for the real MC's buzzin

We the leaders of the new school

Uh...

Mama's in the kitchen cookin' that rice

Father's outside shootin' em dice

Brother's in jail raising hell

Sister's on the corner sellin' fruit cocktails

Family alcoholic's still sippin' his booze

That's why i'm rappin' over rhythm and blues

To all you rich black folks with your glissining jewels

Entrepeneurs all you millionaire dudes

Before you catch another case limit your moves

Johnny Cochran got a brain tumor i deliver the news

What if mother nature aborted the sky

When we shoot our fireworks on the fourth of July

We can't afford the life so abortion rised

Can't afford the truth so we told a lie

Can't afford a funeral cause the cost is high

GOD DAMN we can't even afford to die

But if you buying a house i'll be your landlord

I'll finance you a car that's if you can afford

I own the jails, the banks and all the property's

Here's a million come on big shot

Lets play Monopoly

Cause when the rappers start grindin'

It's a shame my outta towna gotta sign em

But when his album drop and he go diamond

Everybody was beside em

Every real artist need a real label to sign em

Jus like every good man need a good woman behind them

It ain't about havin' the baddest chick on the streets

I respect the dude Nas cause he married Calise

But still if you ain't ready just wanna be my Beyonce

Then we can do it like Jay-Z & Beyonce

Pardon my language if you a real bitch

Then we can do it like Jada & Will Smith

Coincedence where we comin' to spend it at

we in the same place that we first got rich at

They only gon' give us what they know they can get back

So when you get money don't you ever forget that

But if you buying a house i'll be your landlord

I'll finance you a car that's if you can afford

I own the jails, the banks and all the property's

Here's a million come on big shot

Lets play Monopoly

He got a DVD flow

They need to get my man smackers on TV show

the voice of the jail, voice of the streets

Kay Slay's social plays seven days a week

We pull guns on eachother always still people's

If you strapped then i'm not strapped we still equal

They say don't carry guns cause guns real lethal

But guns don't kill people, people kill people

My cousin got into time he said it ain't nothing

Told me i can do the time standing on my head cousin

Yo Paps stay focused you out here bustin'

Time i come home you gon' be somethin'

Wish i can do half of this time for him

We goin' in thuggin' He do it here i do it here

They running through cover but still

It's all about having money and properties (True)

They rather see us doing drugs then robberies (True)

We gotta flip that into the economy (You)

So my philosophy is the way of the world

Lets play monopoly

Gotta Monopolize & Strategize

So we can get this money

Get filthy rich

Thugication, Streetsweepers

C'mon man

East Coast pop a bottle with y'all

West Coast pop a bottle with y'all

Down South pop a bottle with y'all

Count your blessings you ain't promised them all
