Rich Man's Blues

[Verse] Cracked walls, the mildew in the air smellin' A broken heater but the rent steady swellin' Landlord stackin' checks, playin' Monopoly My bro, I’m strapped, no chance of no stoppin’ me [Verse 2] Lettin’ it simmer, plot thicker than drum licks Eyes on his dough like it’s doughnuts just-iced, and sick This crib a prison, e'ery month new surcharges He floss wads, we floss woes, my barrage 'gainst his largess [Chorus] Rich man's blues, my solution outta pocket Gotta turn the tables, these bills gon' rocket Big chance, I’mma ghost in the night Landlord on the take, thief’s revenge in sight [Verse 3] Midnight, silent, march like moonlit soldiers Keys in hand, now grill bars off their boulders Vault behind the bookshelf, keep them stacks plush One sprint to freedom, who said broken dreams can’t hush? [Bridge] Grit teeth, heart thumpin’ untamed Saw his face at the window, caught in the frame Flashlight fumbles, steel bright shaky light shows One man’s sweat is another’s second-hand woes [Chorus] Rich man's blues, my solution outta pocket Gotta turn the tables, these bills gon' rocket Big chance, I’mma ghost in the night Landlord on the take, thief’s revenge in sight
