I am a student, and all though it is hardwork, it
Roll Dice...
4
Move Dog 4 spaces
One, Two, Three, Four.
BOARDWALK. Thats Mine.
And so are those Hotels of My
Mind, Heart and Soul
You rolled Doubles, so Go Again.
6
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six...
GO TO JAIL
DO NOT pass GO
DO NOT collect $200

SUCKA...




There was a Time....
Where..you had the Monopolies of My...Mind.
And I would watch you play me...
Time and Time Again.

My Mind was not Right,
and My Heart could Not See...
How Rollin Dice wit' you...
Would never benefit me.

But for many years....I let it be.
Suffering Silently, in the games of
M-O-N-O-P-O-L-Y
That became of You and Me.

Sooooooooo many Times...
The orange card, begged me to GO HOME
and the yellow card encouraged me to STAY
Just a few more go arounds, I thought...
I'll be okay.

Everytime I would pass GO, you would Rob Me
of everything I owned.
You see....I allowed you to buy Houses All Ova
Me.
Houses of Esteem, Respect, and Dignity
All houses that I didn't realize you had stolen from me.

Negro, I was home Free
For your heart was never a home
You left me f**cked up and Alone.
To my Mother...I would not pick up the Phone...
Didn't want my mother to know.

You left My Heart, on the purple property that
nobody wants!!
That cheap shhhit!
Well son, I stood there one day
And had me a look around...
Saw how you owned everything in sight around me.

I knew Not of Who I Was,
I knew Nothing about ME.
You were the worst kinda pain
A blow I didn't see...
A kick I didn't need
A knife
That my heart bleeds.

And I have been having trouble sleeping some nights...
As I collect the pieces of Me
As I slowly gain back My Monoplies
I now own the B-O-A-R-D-W-A-L-K you see
Dummy


So Step off Me, and Pay Up!!
Mista Banka
Mr. High Roller, Real Estate Investor
Yooz a black Donald Trump, Right?
Wrong
Not on My Block
Not no more
So Step off...


Let Me escort you to Jail, my Friend
Introduce you, to Cell Block C
Where you have a cell mate named P-A-Y-B-A-C-K
and he's offered to jiggle ya balls for free
hmmm...well, it seems like your having fun,
So, I'll go ahead and Leave.
Don't you eva step your foot on my BOARDWALK
Cas that shhhit belongs to ME.
 
sweet:
You wrote the ish out of this joint.
I am so happy that you got your
BOADWALK back and don't you
let NOBODY ever take it away from you
again.

This was fiyah right here:

sweetapplepie - A woman who stands up in defiance of the monopoly we men sometimes can't help imposing is akin to the force of Mother Nature blowing debris from the streets with a howl, burning the fields for a better crop with a blaze or reclaiming Boardwalk with a take no prisoner female ferocity. Whoaa! Namyh

P.S. - I'm pulling out my Scrabble set right now! Love your work here sweetapplepie.
