Musiq Soulchild - Womanopoly Lyrics
Yo ListenI Met This Girl On Baltic Ave.And You Can Tell How She Steps On Boardwalk,She Was From Park PlaceI Asked What She Was Doing On This Side Of TownShe Said She Had Some Taxes To PayI Figure I'd Take A Chance And Advance To GoAnd Find Out More AboutCause There More To Know Than The Way She WaysAnd The Way That She Wears Her Clothes,Or The Way She Plays This Game (so Cold)She Said She Came Up RoughAnd One Income Was Not EnoughThere'd Be Nights She'd Go To Sleep HungryCause Her Mom Was Always Short On Food And MoneySee People Used To Joke A LotTease Her Bout Her Clothes Not Being In StyleDressed In Dingy Skirts And Dirty SneakersFrom The Finest Second Hand Down Oriental Ave.[chorus]But Now Look At HerShe Got This Game On LockAnything She Ever Wanted Now She Got ItAnd I've Gotta SayAnd I'm Proud To SeeThat Someone Like Her Is In CentralWomanopolyOnce She Graduated Junior High She Started Working OvertimeScrubbing Floors Or Working On Assembly LinesJust So She Could Help Her Mother Out AndAfter College They Moved Into Marvin GardensAnd She Got A Job Working At The City Water DepartmentTo Raise Enough CashIn Move Into Community Chest Condos On Pennsylvania AveShe Fell In Love With This Dude Named RayWho Was A Small Time Hustler From St. Charles PlaceAnd He Was Known For Always Bein In And Out Of TroubleBut The Problem Was That He Was Never On Her LevelShe Argued With Her Mom About Ray's WorkTil He Was Sent Upstate On The Same Day That She Gave BirthBut See The Baby Never Made It, It Drove Her Nearly CrazyAnd She Couldn't Take It[chorus](listen) See Where She Came FromMany People Find It Hard Just To Hang OnYou Often Find Them In The Same Place ComplainingInstead Of Finding A Better Way Of MaintainShe Could Have Balled Up And CryWished That She Would DieAnd Just Gave Up On TryinInstead She Grind From The BottomJust To Make It To The Bottom Now She's On Top And She's Flying[chorus]
