Yo listen I met this girl on Baltic Ave |
| [00:30.97] |
And you can tell how she steps on Boardwalk |
| [00:33.47] |
She was from Park Place |
| [00:34.77] |
I asked what she was doing on this side of town |
| [00:37.98] |
She said she had some taxes to pay |
| [00:40.25] |
I figured I'd take a chance and advance to go |
| [00:43.32] |
And find out more about her |
| [00:44.84] |
'Cause there's more to know than the ways she sways |
| [00:47.53] |
And the way that she wears her clothes |
| [00:49.79] |
Or the way that she plays this game so cold |
| [00:53.17] |
|
| [00:53.91] |
She said she came up rough |
| [00:56.10] |
And the one income household was not enough |
| [01:00.39] |
There be nights she'd go to sleep cold and hungry |
| [01:03.17] |
'Cause her mom was always short on food and money |
| [01:06.24] |
See people used to joke a lot |
| [01:08.67] |
And tease her 'bout her clothes not bein' in style |
| [01:13.00] |
Dressed in dingy skirts and dirty sneakers |
| [01:15.87] |
From the finest second hand down on Oriental Ave |
| [01:19.27] |
But now look at her she got this game on lock |
| [01:25.60] |
Anything that she ever wanted now she got it |
| [01:31.96] |
And I gotta say I'm so proud to see |
| [01:37.87] |
That someone like her is in control womanopoly |
| [01:43.81] |
|
| [01:44.72] |
Once she graduated Jr High |
| [01:47.09] |
|
| [01:47.66] |
She started working overtime |
| [01:49.91] |
Scrubbing floors or working on assembly lines |
| [01:52.97] |
Just so she could help her mother out |
| [01:55.42] |
|
| [01:56.11] |
And after college they moved into Marvin's Garden |
| [01:59.49] |
And she got a job working at the city water department |
| [02:03.06] |
To save enough cash |
| [02:03.94] |
|
| [02:04.86] |
To move into Community Chest condos on Pennsylvania Ave |
| [02:08.36] |
|
| [02:09.64] |
She fell in love with this dude name Ray |
| [02:11.82] |
Who was a small time hustler form St Charles' Place |
| [02:15.14] |
|
| [02:15.71] |
And he was known for always bein' in and out of trouble |
| [02:18.97] |
But the problem was that he was never on her level |
| [02:22.10] |
She argued with her mom about Ray's work |
| [02:24.58] |
Till he got sent up state on the same say that she gave birth |
| [02:28.50] |
But see the baby never made it |
| [02:30.13] |
|
| [02:30.68] |
It drove her nearly crazy and she couldn't take |
| [02:32.18] |
|
| [02:34.81] |
But now look at her she got this game on lock |
| [02:41.40] |
Anything that she ever wanted now she got it |
| [02:47.68] |
And I gotta say I'm so proud to see |
| [02:53.83] |
That someone like her is in control womanopoly |
| [02:59.76] |
Listen see where she came from |
| [03:03.57] |
Many people find it hard just to hang on |
| [03:06.35] |
You often find them in the same place complaining |
| [03:08.92] |
|
| [03:09.48] |
Instead of finding a better way of maintaining |
| [03:12.58] |
She could have balled up and cry |
| [03:14.85] |
Wish that she would die and just gave up on trying |
| [03:18.64] |
Instead she grind from the bottom just to make it to the bottom |
| [03:22.77] |
Now she's on top and she's flying |
| [03:25.59] |
But now look at her she got this game on lock |
| [03:31.95] |
Anything that she ever wanted |
| [03:35.40] |
|
| [03:36.47] |
Now she got it and I gotta say I'm so proud to see |
| [03:43.92] |
|
| [03:44.61] |
That someone like her is in control womanopoly |
| [03:50.04] |
|
| [03:50.70] |
But now look at her she got this game on lock |
| [03:57.14] |
Anything that she ever wanted |
| [04:01.08] |
|
| [04:01.90] |
Now she got it and I gotta say I'm so proud to see |
| [04:09.87] |
That someone like her is in control womanopoly |
