Monopoly

Take a second kick your shoes off relax
Hang your hat up
Recline lay back
Lay down your load
The world might explode
Oh well this cycle's like hell
Born to die
Go to school to cry
Get a job more lies
Happiness flies in a sky so blue
From children with dreams that just never came true

Rember all the board games that we played
The ones about the money with the car that was hoppity
I'm talkin bout monopoly
With the money bag philosophy
Not the swipe a debit card till you go broke hypocrisy
I can't take the lock up see
I'm off to jail like I rolled triple-doubles it's a life to me
But I can't understand how that got twisted for the life in me
Too much good at once had it stripped away retarded
I'm lookin at the bank money gleaming unguarded
Mom went to the kitchen should I put it in my wallet
I can't collect on property but now they say I'm property
How could I be stealin they took money that belongs to me
I can't shake this feelin like a king that's been disowned at three
Set me up for failure so I couldn't see the bigger picture
Beyond shackled links was the key to make me so much richer
Pour out that liquor and the money comes in quicker
You're blinded by fools gold worth as much as rich mold
So while you're at that party some else is makin bank rolls

Take a second kick your shoes off relax
Hang your hat up
Recline lay back
Lay down your load
The world might explode
Oh well this cycle's like hell
Born to die
Go to school to cry
Get a job more lies
Happiness flies in a sky so blue
From children with dreams that just never came true

You never realize what they really tried to tell us
All those properties were businesses
Jail was the universities
Takin all your money for what may just be a worthless thing
All the outside thinkers taught us failures do the greatest things
Those people work for them chasing nothing but their hopeless dreams
Got a fancy paper just to tell the boss when a phone rings
Straight A student just to work for kids with c's and d's
Now you hate your job and start stressin out your family
It's such an ugly sight you're a monster they can't stand to see
Stuck on park place paying money you can't even see
Drive a sports car do your friends know you can't pay the lease
Lost your wife your house livin in your car from week to week
Crying you can't even sleep no money you can't even eat
Caught you beggin beggars for blanket just the other week
Squidward spare change cardboard box now that's where you sleep
Used to wear a suit now you wear the mud that's in the stream
Hit rock bottom tried to rap but you can't get streams
Had a lot of money but you spent it all on fancy things
Could've stacked yo money but you spent it all on random things
Could've kept yo family but your love was in useless things
Could've flipped a mille but you put it all in richards things
Now you're at the end reminiscing on your childhood watch
Memories monopoly that's lessons you were surely taught
Give anything to lay back in your childhood cot
Bleeding on the ground tried to rob a bank but you got caught
Mom asked if you stole from the bank you said you did not
Learned the wrong lessons from a game that taught you life
Bad choices now you wish you woulda thought twice

Take a second kick your shoes off relax
Hang your hat up
Recline lay back
Lay down your load
the world might explode
Oh well this cycle's like hell
Born to die
Go to school to cry
Get a job more lies
Happiness flies in a sky so blue
From children with dreams that just never came true
