H-O-U-S-E house let’s play
Yo.
It’s time to put the house on the market
Maybe we can even put some money in our pockets
I went back and worked it out
The only way to move on from the hurt that sprout
A lot of people probably think I’m a sucker
But i didn’t get married for divorce like the others
My format’s not a doormat
My style’s to record that no need to applaud that
It’s raw rap…
But back to the story at hand
I’m taking a stand
Won’t squeeze another dime from this man
I’m saying. I’d rather rent than invest in this
The Mrs. shaking her head like a ventriloquist
She said… «Forget commissions we can sell it ourselves
Isoldmyshouse.com or whatever the hell»
Shit. two years in the mortgage
Decision’s final
Phase two state of denial transform the vinyl
H-O-U-S-E house let’s play
H-O-U-S-E house let’s play
I’m selling furniture she’s… making calls
Ripping wallpaper I’m painting the walls
I covered the pool and raked the leaves
Scraped the moldings outside on some make believe
I even did a little landscape
On the outside…
Inside she hung mad drapes
But every prospect was like a bad date
With no pre-approval how’d we know they had cake?
I’m trying to seek professional help
Got behind on the payments but it loosened the belt
I called my man Miles for immediate assistance
He set the price right even lowered his commissions
Not a single bite with all the ads and the listings
Fast forward six months later with God as my witness
We got a foreclosure letter…
The situation ain’t good and it’s not getting better
H-O-U-S-E house let’s play
H-O-U-S-E house let’s play
It’s time to get the fuck out of dodge
Abandon ship take a loss at all costs
We need to hustle like we facing a bid
Cause next thing you know we won’t have a place to live
I got money stacked… and ready for the payment
My conscious inside is saying «D, just save it!
Forget this girl, you got to move on»
But 5 years ago she had my first newborn
We found a nice 3 bedroom place in JP
What happened to the house???
The middle of the winter and the crib hadn’t sold
To make things worse the pipes in the basement all froze
I paid first and last with a security hold
We went back to rent while our home foreclosed
And that ain’t even the half of it
Imagine it…
Sit back relax take a bath or sit
