Don't wanna call you up

I know exactly what it's gonna be

And I'm not ready to just work away

My youth today, just want L-O-V-E

You say, "Shut up," and hold my throat

You throw me 'cross the street

And it's not fair, I gave you everything, all of me

But you're breadcrumbing

[Chorus]

Baby, you're Fifth Ave, penthouse by the beach

Got so many houses while nobody else can eat

Still, you're making more, more than you can spend

In a whole eternity, Monopoly man

[Post-Chorus]

What's your desire? Own the earth and stars

But still, you climb higher, do your damage, baby

What's it gonna take? Wha-what's it gonna take for

You to get it straight, you, you to get it straight, boy?

Yeah, you're on fire, so is everything now

It's getting higher, did your damage, baby

What's it gonna take? Wha-what's it gonna take for

You to get it straight, you, you to get it straight, boy?

[Verse 2]

And it's impossible

For everyone to leave the mess you made

We're paying for the things we can just grow

On our own, it's embarrassing

[Chorus]

Baby, you're Fifth Ave (Rich), penthouse by the beach (Wow)

Got so many houses while nobody else can eat (Yuck)

Still, you're making more (Nasty), more than you can spend (Spend it)

In a whole eternity, Monopoly man

[Post-Chorus]

What's your desire? Own the earth and stars

But still, you climb higher, do your damage, baby

What's it gonna take? Wha-what's it gonna take for

You to get it straight, you, you to get it straight, boy?

[Bridge]

Kill 'em with it, fists and the holster

Make him really work for it

Put 'em in the dirt, girl, shit on him

Make him lick the ground, babe

Empty the account, spread it all around

Kill 'em with it, fists and the holster

Make him really work for it

Put 'em in the dirt, girl, shit on him

Make him lick the ground, babe

Empty the account, spread it all around

[Chorus]

Baby, you're Fifth Ave, penthouse by the beach

Got so many houses while nobody else can eat

Still, you're making more, more than you can spend

In a whole eternity, Monopoly man

[Post-Chorus]

What's your desire? Own the earth and stars

But still, you climb higher, do your damage, baby

What's it gonna take? Wha-what's it gonna take for

You to get it straight, you, you to get it straight, boy?

Yeah, you're on fire, so is everything now

It's getting higher, did your damage, baby

What's it gonna take? Wha-what's it gonna take for

You to get it straight, you, you to get it straight, boy?
