Price to Life
We all been through our highs and lows
Everything that glitter just ain't gold, gold
Everybody got a price to life
You decide how much you wanna sacrifice
I just want the world to stop and think
What's the price to life?
Yo, okay, I do this for anybody that had I dream
I'm a mixed kid, a product of Martin Luther King
Yeah, man I do this for my city
They've been waiting for somebody to blow the fuck up
In that case, I hope it's me
Don't usually do it for free but Imma hand it out
So these young boys will know what being a man's about
Too embarrassed 'bout the shit that they inherit
Tryna fit in with the typical when they know they should be standing out
And I do this for that homeless man you always see
With nothing but a CD player and a bottle of catfish
Straight out of crack cocaine but when he hears Dream Big
He gains the courage to finally go and break the habit
And I do this for my team, We The Future
You should get with it or get lost
I do this for my haters that told me I'd never make it
I swear I'm so underrated so I do this for the underdogs
We all been through our highs and lows
Everything that glitter just ain't gold, gold
Everybody got a price to life
You decide how much you wanna sacrifice
I just want the world to stop and think
What's the price to life?
Yeah I do it for them white girls
White girls, white girls (Ashley and Stacy I go you)
And I do it for them black girls
Black girls, black girls (Shaquasha and Tatiana)
Okay, I do this for the sake of being honest
For anybody who don't what they gon' do after college
Who enrolled in all those classes ain't like them so then they dropped them
They felt lost and all alone till my music finally found them
And I do this for them kids who had it all till they parents split apart and they had to make a sacrifice
And I do this for my boys back in the Ville still tryna keep it trill
All they know how to do rap and fight
And I do this for my dudes making moves needing tunes they can use every time that they catch a flight
Okay, I made this for my players in the majors
Just needing from freaking bangers before the game just to get them hype
We all been through our highs and lows
Everything that glitter just ain't gold, gold
Everybody got a price to life
You decide how much you wanna sacrifice
I just want the world to stop and think
What's the price to life?
Okay, I do this for my fans in the stands who be holding out they hands just so they can get a touch
And I do this for them guys that's too shy to go and tell that girl that they really wanna fuck
You should do that, shit, she probably want it all
Okay, I do this for anybody that feel small
The ones that lost all of they confidence when they got cut from the team
But they grow up and still ball
And I do this for them people rocking hand-me-down clothes every day
Always been known as a scrub
I do this for them kids who never fit in with their families
When all they ever really wanted was to feel loved
Trust that I'm doing this with good intentions
Invented something different so you don't listen to lame
I don't do this for the fame
I'm doing this for the game
After this, it ain't gon' never be the same
We all been through our highs and lows
Everything that glitter just ain't gold, gold
Everybody got a price to life
You decide how much you wanna sacrifice
I just want the world to stop and think
What's the price to life?
