Rich Man's Game (Feat. Da 925)

Yo yo yo y'all 
It's a rich man's game
(We all know it)
ba ba ba bum ba bum
No matter what they call it
ba ba ba ba bum bum 
And you spend your time
putting money in his wallet. 
ba ba ba ba bum bum
Yo yo yo

Tumble outta bed
 and stumble to the
 kitchen
(That's where we keep the food)
Ba ba ba ba bum 
Pour myself a cup 
of ambition
(That's coffee y'all)
Yawnin'
(Yaaaawn)
 stretchin' and try to come
to life
(Never get enough sleep)
ba ba bum baba bum bum bum
Jump in the 
shower and the blood 
starts pumpin'
(giggity)
Out 
on the 
streets, the traffic starts 
jumpin'
(And by jumpin' we mean stallin')
With folks 
like me
(Yes me)
 on the job in the
 9 2 5
(That's an area code in the SF East Bay)
ba ba bum baba bum bum bum
Working in da 9 2 5,
badabadum
 That's the place we
make a
 living
(If you can call it that)
Barely gettin' 
by, 
(I think they call it scrapin')
it's all
 taking and
 no 
giving
badabadum
They
 just use your 
mind and they
 never give you 
credit
(The only credit you get is at 35%)
badabadum
It's enough to drive 
you crazy if you let
 it
(So don't let it)
ba ba bum baba bum bum bum
Da 9 2 5, 4 service and 
devotion
(A dedicated work ethic)
You would think
 that I would
 deserve a fair
 promotion
(I'd settle for an unfair one)
Want to move 
a head (giggity)
but the boss won't 
seem to let 
Me
(What a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical, bigot)
badabadum
I swear sometimes that
 man is out 
to get 
me
(And who would believe me)
skididy boochalasta rassem bobo bop
Mmmmm...mmmmmm
They 
let you dream just to 
watch them
 shatter
(Hope you don't have to hold your bladder)
You're just a 
step 
A step on the boss man's
 ladder
(Time for a career)
But you got 
dreams he'll never take 
away
(Keep them high up the career ladder)
In the same 
boat with a lot of your 
friends
(More unethical management types)
Waiting for the 
day your ship will come
 in
(Soon it'll be making another run)
And the tide's gonna 
turn an' it's all gonna roll you 
away
(Roll away where?)
