Womanopoly
Lyricist:Ivan Barias, Carvin Ransum Haggins, Talib Johnson
Yo listen, I met this girl on Baltic Ave And you can tell how she steps on Boardwalk She was from Park Place I asked what she was doing on this side of town She said she had some taxes to pay
I figured I'd take a chance and advance to go And find out more about her 'Cause there's more to know than the ways she sways And the way that she wears her clothes Or the way that she plays this game so cold
She said she came up rough And the one income household was not enough There'd be nights she'd go to sleep cold and hungry 'Cause her mom was always short on food and money
See people used to joke a lot And tease her 'bout her clothes not bein' in style Dressed in dingy skirts and dirty sneakers From the finest second hand down on Oriental Ave
But now look at her, she got this game on lock Anything that she ever wanted, now she got it And I gotta say, I'm so proud to see That someone like her is in control, womanopoly
Once she graduated Jr. High She started working overtime Scrubbing floors or working on assembly lines Just so she could help her mother out
And after college they moved into Marvin's Garden And she got a job working at the city water department To save enough cash To move into Community Chest condos on Pennsylvania Ave Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
She fell in love with this dude name Ray Who was a small time hustler form St. Charles' Place And he was known for always bein' in and out of trouble But the problem was that he was never on her level
She argued with her mom about Ray's work Till he got sent up state on the same say that she gave birth But see the baby never made it It drove her nearly crazy and she couldn't take it
But now look at her, she got this game on lock Anything that she ever wanted, now she got it And I gotta say, I'm so proud to see That someone like her is in control, womanopoly
Listen, see where she came from Many people find it hard just to hang on You often find them in the same place complaining Instead of finding a better way of maintaining
She could have balled up and cry Wish that she would die and just gave up on trying Instead she grind from the bottom just to make it to the bottom Now she's on top and she's flying
But now look at her, she got this game on lock Anything that she ever wanted Now she got it and I gotta say, I'm so proud to see That someone like her is in control, womanopoly
But now look at her, she got this game on lock Anything that she ever wanted Now she got it and I gotta say, I'm so proud to see That someone like her is in control, womanopoly
