Information on the rapper
John Pierpont "J. P." Morgan was born on April 17th, 1837. He is one of the most famous financiers in business history. In 1871, Morgan began his own private banking company, which later became J. P. Morgan & Co. In 1892, Morgan arranged the merger of Edison General Electric and Thomson-Houston Electric Company to form General Electric. His company became one of the leading financial firms in the country. It was so powerful that even the U.S. government looked to the firm for help with the depression of 1895. After financing the creation of the Federal Steel Company, he merged in 1901 with the Carnegie Steel Company and several other steel and iron businesses, including the Consolidated Steel and Wire Company owned by William Edenborn, to form the United States Steel Corporation. The company also assisted in thwarting the 1907 financial crisis. He died in his sleep on March 31st, 1913, in Rome, Italy.

Lyrics
Don't panic, Scrooge, but you're about to crash!
I'm J. P. Morgan, the Ghost of Rich Dudes Past,
Who's properly rocking the Monopoly mustache!
Yo, I own the railroad! I run these tracks!
You got dumped on a bench; now you're pissed at the world!
You should have made like Sebastian and kissed the girl
Because your greed is the curse that's gonna tear you apart!
What good is your purse if you're poor in your heart?
Scrapped lyrics
Man, I run the railroad, I own these tracks!
You got released on a bench, all pissed at the world!
