[00:26.22]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]
