Papoose - Monopoly lyrics

Your rating:

[Intro] 

To everybody in the struggle 

If somebody ever told you that you couldn't do somethin' 

And you still made it happen 

Congratulations 

Soul clap for all the independent women 

Soul clap for all my homies straight thuggin' 

Clap for the real MCs buzzin' 

We the leaders of the new school 



[Verse 1] 

Momma's in tha kitchen cookin' that rice 

Father's outside shootin' them dice 

Brother's in jail, raisin' hell 

Sister's on the corner sellin' fruit cocktail 

Family alcoholics still sippin' his booze 

That's why I'm rappin over rhythm n' blues 

To all you rich black folks wit ya glistenin' jewels 

Entrepreneurs, all you millionare 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 would we shoot our fireworks on the fourth of July? 

We can't afford to live, so abortions rise 

Can't afford the truth, so we told to lie 

Can't afford a funeral, 'cause the costs is high 

God damn, we can't even afford to die! 



[Chorus] 

But if you buyin' a house, I'll be your land lord 

I'll finance you a car, that's if you can't afford 

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

Here's a million, come on big shot, let's play Monopoly 



[Verse 2] 

'Cause when the rappers start grindin' 

It's a shame, a out-of-towner gotta sign them 

But when his album drop and he go diamond 

Everybody beside him 

Every real artist need a real label to sign them 

Just 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 Kelis, but still 

If you ain't ready, just wanna be my fiancé 

Than we could do it like Jay Z and Beyonce 

Pardon my language, if you a real bitch 

Than we could do it like Jada and Will Smith 

Coincidence, where we come in to spin it at 

We in tha same place that we first got rich at 

They only gonna give us what they know they will get back 

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



[Chorus]

But if you buyin' a house, I'll be your land lord 

I'll finance you a car, that's if you can't afford 

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

Here's a million, come on big shot, let's play Monopoly



[Verse 3] 

He got a DVD flow 

They need to give me man, Smack, his own TV show 

The voice of the jails, voice of the streets 

Kay Slay's show should play seven days a week 

We pull guns on each other, are we still peoples? 

If you strapped and I'm not strapped, we still equal? 

The say don't carry guns, 'cause guns real lethal 

But guns don't kill people, people kill people 

My cousin gotta do time, he say it ain't nuthin' 

Told me, I could do the time standin' on my head, cousin 

Yo Paps, stay focused, you out hear bustin' 

By the time I come home, you gonna be somethin' 

I wish I could do half his time for him 

We go in there thuggin', he do a year, I do a year 

They run and concur it, but still 

It's all about havin' money and property, true 

They'd rather see us doin' drugs and robberies, true 

We gotta flip that into the economy, you 

So my philosophy's the way of the world 

Let's play Monopoly! 



[Outro] 

You gotta monopolize and strategize 

So we can get this money 

Get filthy rich 

Thugacation 

Street Sweapers 

C'mon man 

East coast, pop a bottle wit y'all 

West coast, pop a bottle wit y'all 

Down south, pop a bottle wit y'all 

Count your blessings, you ain't promised tomorrow
