LA/NY/CHI (Monopoly)

(album: Indrid Cold - 2014)

Patiently waiting, I'm working
I live with these demons, concerning me

When's it gonna happen? When you gonna go?
When you gonna sell out on 'em?
When we gonna go to LA, to New York, to Chicago?
To LA, to New York, to Chicago?
When's it gonna happen?

Wait, no one does it better than who?
Competition ain't new, no
Been doing that shit since I popped out my momma's womb
Whoa, TMI, too much imagery, I can't deny
I believe myself so when I believe in lies
And they be telling me that I'm doing fine, doing me
Music my love, one and only
I won't quit 'til I die so I won't die lonely
I don't need a fan base to support my hobby
I don't need a waterfall in my hotel lobby
I don't need a couple Porsches in my garage to prove to you that I can live large, nope
Show you that I'm in charge
Show you that I've been working hard
I've been saving up from my job
Got blisters on my fingers 'cause I dig dirt and it's hard
Construction is my function, but this music is my heart
So we'll ask it now, baby

When's it gonna happen? When you gonna go?
When you gonna sell out on 'em?
When we gonna go to LA, to New York, to Chicago?
To LA, to New York, to Chicago?
When's it gonna happen? When you gonna go?
When you gonna sell out on 'em?
When we gonna go to LA, to New York, to Chicago?
To LA, to New York, to Chicago?

Wait, yeah, I can do it better than you
Fuck with me, when I tell you I'm with it, that's true
Dream big 'cause I'm dream chasing
I bring my team 'cause they investors
And we stay busy 'cause we live real
My brother still works that 9 to 5
I'm still covered in drywall
He's still busy trying to find the time
When it gonna happen? That ain't on my mind
I got a couple things that are on my mind
I can't find the time to talk about it, so I write a rhyme
It's a fine line that I walk between
Making a splash or taking a dive
You wanna talk about it? That's fine
But I don't gotta talk about it like I ain't thought about it
It's the only thing on my mind
Fuck this drywall and that 9 to 5
I ain't got enough time in my life to spend my youth stressing on the fucking time
So when's it gonna happen?
Before I die or it kills me

When's it gonna happen? When you gonna go?
When you gonna sell out on 'em?
When we gonna go to LA, to New York, to Chicago?
To LA, to New York, to Chicago?
When's it gonna happen? When you gonna go?
When you gonna sell out on 'em?
When we gonna go to LA, to New York, to Chicago?
To LA, to New York, to Chicago?
When's it gonna happen?
