Yo listen
I met this girl on Baltic Ave.
And you can tell how
she steps on boardwalk,
She was park place
I asked what she was doing
on this side of town
She said she had
some taxes to pay
I figure I'd take a chance
and advance to go
And find out more about
Cause there more to know
than the way she ways
And the way that
she wears her clothes,
Or the way she plays this game
(so cold)
She said she came up rough
And one income was not enough
There'd be nights
she'd go to sleep hungry
Cause her mom was always
short on food and money
See people used to joke a lot
Tease her bout her clothes
not being in style
Dressed in dingy skirts
and dirty sneakers
From the finest second hand
down Oriental Ave.
But now look at her
She got this game on lock
Anything she ever wanted
now she got it
And I've gotta say
And I'm proud to see
That someone
like her is in central
Womanopoly
Once she graduated junior high
she started working overtime
Scrubbing floors or working
on assembly lines
Just so she could help her
mother out and
After college they moved
into Marvin Gardens
And she got a job working
at the city water department
To raise enough cash
In move into community
chest condos
on Pennsylvania Ave
She fell in love with
this dude named ray
Who was a small time hustler
from St. Charles place
And he was known for always
bein in and out of trouble
But the problem was that
he was never on her level
She argued with her mom
about ray's work
Til he was sent upstate
on the same day
that she gave birth
But see the baby never made it
it drove her nearly crazy
And she couldn't take it
(Listen)
see where she came from
Many people find it hard
just to hang on
You often find them in the same
place complaining
Instead of finding a better
way of maintain
She could have balled
up and cry
Wished that she would die
And just gave up on tryin
Instead she grind
from the bottom
Just to make it to the bottom
now shes flying
