(Chorus: Christon Gray)

This game, Lord I don't wanna play

I wait the day that you take us away, ohhh

And I ain't turn to struggle and pain

Just trying fight what's in front of my face, ohh

There's something greater there's gotta be

But I'll walk in your ways 'til the day that I gotta leave

Faithful, I try to be

Until the day you return for the saints, I guess I must be

Living in this game of Monopoly

(Verse 1: Bizzle)

It's like the big game of Monopoly

And most of us refuse to play properly

Everybody wanna win, so they try to cheat

But when the game's over, you gotta leave your property

Anyway - and knowing that, we still try to cheat

We rather win the wrong way then lose honestly

And when you deep in the game, it's like you can't call it

And for a minute you get the feelin' you really ballin'

You own everything, you gotta hold stack

Taking every 200 they get when they go pass

And what's funny though - is when the game's done

It's almost like you don't wanna let the money go

But then the money goes back to being paper, dawg

And you see it's only worth something while the game is on

And you bring it with you either

Except for the fact that you're still a cheater

Win or lose, you're still a cheater

(Chorus: Christon Gray)

This game, Lord I don't wanna play

I wait the day that you take us away, ohhh

And I ain't turn to struggle and pain

Just trying fight what's in front of my face, ohh

There's something greater there's gotta be

But I'll walk in your ways 'til the day that I gotta leave

Faithful, I try to be

Until the day you return for the saints, I guess I must be

(Verse 2: Bizzle)

It's like the world is the board that we playing on

The Bible is the instructions He gave us all

And His command is the rules that He gave every man

But we choose to go through the gameplan wrong

And, oh how wicked the bankers are

But it's the greed of the nation that they're banking on

It's like putting money under free parking

Everybody sees the benefit and plays along

We all on the quest for hotels

But take the wrong chance, you can go directly to jail

You catch an L homie, you don't get to roll again

Or it's 3-5 before you get to pass GO again

Some of us on the board walk where they ballin' at

Some will never get the chance to make it off of Baltic Ave

And the Lord is the creator

But the Devil got a hold on all the players

Who you playing for?

(Chorus: Christon Gray)

This game, Lord I don't wanna play

I wait the day that you take us away, ohhh

And I ain't turn to struggle and pain

Just trying fight what's in front of my face, ohh

There's something greater there's gotta be

But I'll walk in your ways 'til the day that I gotta leave

Faithful, I try to be

Until the day you return for the saints, I guess I must be

(Verse 3: Bizzle)

They monopolizing the whole board

They control the water, the energy and the food source

So if you weak and you lack faith in Jesus

What will keep you from folding when they bring the mark of the beast in?

Look what they got you ready to do for money

What you gon' do when its either you take the mark or go hungry?

And you feelin like the money's your protection

But you keep it in their banks so it never leaves their possession

On any given day, they can close the banks

And you'll lose everything you traded to soul to gain

And the only thing sure to stay

Is the memories of what you did for it on the way

But Christ came through in the flesh

To write His law's in the heart of the community's chest, yes

I suggest you know the Lord

Cause when He comes back to close the board

Homie it's game over

Game over

(Chorus: Christon Gray)

This game, Lord I don't wanna play

I wait the day that you take us away, ohhh

And I ain't turn to struggle and pain

Just trying fight what's in front of my face, ohh

There's something greater there's gotta be

But I'll walk in your ways 'til the day that I gotta leave

Faithful, I try to be

Until the day you return for the saints, I guess I must be
