Monopoly

To everybody in the struggle
If somebody ever told you that you couldn't do something'
And you still made it happen
Congratulations
Soul clap for all the independent women
Soul clap for all my homies straight thugging
Clap for the real MCs buzzing'
We the leaders of the new school

Momma's in the kitchen cooking' that rice
Father's outside shooting' them dice
Brother's in jail, raisin' hell
Sister's on the corner selling' fruit cocktail
Family alcoholics still sipping' his booze
That's why I'm rapping over rhythm n' blues
To all you rich black folks wit ya glistening' jewels
Entrepreneurs, 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 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
Goddamn, we can't even afford to die!

But if you buying' 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
