monopoly

Lyrics

, this game, lord i don't wanna play, i wait the day that you take us away, ohhh, and i ain't turn to struggle and pain, just trying fight what's in front of my face, ohh, there's something greater there's gotta be, but i'll walk in your ways 'til the day that i gotta leave, faithful, i try to be, until the day you return for the saints, i guess i must be, living in this game of monopoly, it's like the big game of monopoly, and most of us refuse to play properly, everybody wanna win, so they try to cheat, but when the game's over, you gotta leave your property, anyway - and knowing that, we still try to cheat, we rather win the wrong way then lose honestly, and when you deep in the game, it's like you can't call it, and for a minute you get the feelin' you really ballin', you own everything, you gotta hold stack, taking every 200 they get when they go pass, and what's funny though - is when the game's done, it's almost like you don't wanna let the money go, but then the money goes back to being paper, dawg, and you see it's only worth something while the game is on, and you bring it with you either, except for the fact that you're still a cheater, win or lose, you're still a cheater, this game, lord i don't wanna play, i wait the day that you take us away, ohhh, and i ain't turn to struggle and pain, just trying fight what's in front of my face, ohh, there's something greater there's gotta be, but i'll walk in your ways 'til the day that i gotta leave, faithful, i try to be, until the day you return for the saints, i guess i must be, living in this game of monopoly, it's like the world is the board that we playing on, the bible is the instructions he gave us all, and his command is the rules that he gave every man, but we choose to go through the gameplan wrong, and, oh how wicked the bankers are, but it's the greed of the nation that they're banking on, it's like putting money under free parking, everybody sees the benefit and plays along, we all on the quest for hotels, but take the wrong chance, you can go directly to jail, you catch an l homie, you don't get to roll again, or it's 3-5 before you get to pass go again, some of us on the board walk where they ballin' at, some will never get the chance to make it off of baltic ave, and the lord is the creator, but the devil got a hold on all the players, who you playing for?, this game, lord i don't wanna play, i wait the day that you take us away, ohhh, and i ain't turn to struggle and pain, just trying fight what's in front of my face, ohh, there's something greater there's gotta be, but i'll walk in your ways 'til the day that i gotta leave, faithful, i try to be, until the day you return for the saints, i guess i must be, living in this game of monopoly, they monopolizing the whole board, they control the water, the energy and the food source, so if you weak and you lack faith in jesus, what will keep you from folding when they bring the mark of the beast in?, look what they got you ready to do for money, what you gon' do when its either you take the mark or go hungry?, and you feelin like the money's your protection, but you keep it in their banks so it never leaves their possession, on any given day, they can close the banks, and you'll lose everything you traded to soul to gain, and the only thing sure to stay, is the memories of what you did for it on the way, but christ came through in the flesh, to write his law's in the heart of the community's chest, yes, i suggest you know the lord, cause when he comes back to close the board, homie it's game over, game over, this game, lord i don't wanna play, i wait the day that you take us away, ohhh, and i ain't turn to struggle and pain, just trying fight what's in front of my face, ohh, there's something greater there's gotta be, but i'll walk in your ways 'til the day that i gotta leave, faithful, i try to be, until the day you return for the saints, i guess i must be, living in this game of monopoly
