mr. game: your second prize - wynton marsalis lyrics

each of our five prizes comes naturally from the last. the battles we’ve won over these last years to segregate ourselves have led to purity in education, housing and employment. just look around. all of that winning is addictive, but if you don’t fight, you can’t win. when you beat one group of others, you must use that inspiration to go on to the next and the next, until you work through all the groups that displease you

second prize:

you will enjoy endless campaigns: old versus young, smart versus dumb, fat versus skinny, democrats versus republican. finally, you will work your way all the way up to the most sacred battleground: your own home. for drama and intensity, nothing surpasses a passionate, extended domestic battle. don’t forget the binary narrative: others are wrong and you are right. it’s a wonderful way of understanding that keeps you on the battlefield

here’s a snapshot from our history: we broke their families up for centuries and consistently destroyed the bond between their men and women. however, they were very productive for us as workers, as stock and as property. it was gloriously efficient and effective. we learned to value human beings economically. with the passage of time, the accurate valuation of people is just in our dna, and their home life has still not recovered

let me free you from old thinking. families are no longer what they were. kids are disrespectful. men and women at each other’s throats all the time

let’s consider, if you will, the poetic demands and uncertain terrains of romance. think about all of the time it takes to develop a relationship with another person. now, add the investment required to properly raise a child. you see, a traditional family just takes too much d*mned time and effort. the modern family is mobile and you need that mobility to make more money

o, mighty people! let me explain: life is just a big transaction. look around. it costs to be born, it costs to die, it costs when you get sick, it costs ‘in case’ you get sick and everything in between is bills and taxes. try paying for some food with the depth of your humanity. nothing is more important than money

here’s the breakdown:

a winner buys the life he or she wants to live! (everyone else will fall in line based on their payout)

here’s the hand me down:

romance interferes with fighting. when the other is the enemy and everything becomes a transaction, intimacy is too nuanced. who has time for love when the most important victory is yet to be won?
here’s the lowdown:

now you are free to purchase all the personal sp*ce you want. if you get lonely, just swipe a picture on an app, or buy a robot. your prize is freedom from the rigamarole of romance and escalation of the domestic war in the court of transaction
