I learned my ABC's Before snakes and ladders Only to find out the words ladders Had less snakes, and what mattered More than letters were numbers Life's monopoly where's go No get out of jail free card And most of the X's and O's Were in a game of tic tac toe So life's complicated, unlike Atari Where opponents, use fake words When they ***** u like life was sorry And like trouble, our plans fall over Like a dominoe set Money? Security? Like go fish With a boss that's Alex trebek Asks questions as you sweat Constantly in jeopardy, an orphan A game of hangman, and hang men Who can't buy vowels, wit no fortune so life's game is wheel of misfortune Where there's no truth. Just dare And the price is never right I mean who doesnt wannabe a millionaire But when your the weakest link You're treated as a pawn for your labor Left a contestant on survivor, Not as smart as a fifth grader That's why families feud Until like scrabble words don't make A sound, left with a frown to make Everyone as crazy as eights Left only to bluff like poker Acting wild as a joker With no bridge to bridge the hole When ur the ******* going over 21, to bust like blackjack Losing even in uno Left only to play solitaire and lose Like a skitzo beating himself in judo Cause in the end, society reads the Same code, as computers so Heros Are those who don't quit the game of ******** When they aren't a 1 just zero Cuz like binary code there's only 2 roads 1 or zero, and those that stuck through And didn't forfeit their checkered chess match til the end, are those I look up to

The game of life
I learned my ABC's Before snakes and ladders Only to find out the words ladders Had less snakes, and what mattered More than letters were numbers Life's monopoly where's go No get out of jail free card And most of the X's and O's Were in a game of tic tac toe So life's complicated, unlike Atari Where opponents, use fake words When they ***** u like life was sorry And like trouble, our plans fall over Like a dominoe set Money?
