Life

Roll, run, spin and stop! Life is a crazy bump I roll the dice I get a two I look down and say, this is poor two steps forward, three steps back I jump to a pool I land in a pit What the hell! I yell like a bell Please God give me some luck! Then here it is I get a hundred bucks! I look at them full with greed I beg, I need more please! Next day comes up and there you go I get more money and to me they flow I reach top ten richest men But I can't stop from wanting more! I build a 6 six stars hotel, I need more gold! I get married to this fairy I tell my friend, his name is Larry This is it, this is my time! He looks at me, all come and all will fly I look at him as if he was crazy And out the door straight to my home I pass by a barefooted guy I look at him and see myself Ten years back when time was old He gave me a gun and pressed the trigger And all his world turned into black The police came and I felt safe I looked at the gun and laughed in shock I saw my world saying good-bye! Now here I am behind the bars I hereby am sentenced to spend another more decade in the dark with no money with no pride My so-called wife took a flight and landed somewhere in the night! With all my money with all my luck I now sit and keep on saying Roll, run, spin and stop! Life is a Monopoly - Written by, Sami Helbaoui - Contest, Monopoly The Game of Life
