The Price Of Life

Yeah, fake hair, fake nails, fake pearls

Call herself a Barbie, wanna be a fake girl

She can't even see, she Stevie Wonder at night time

Too busy trying to get them red bottoms the right size

Tell her that you love her and she gonna call you a liar

(Whatever, you don't really love me, you just wanna give me the lie)

On the bet, but the fact is she deals with fools,

That see women as garden tools, never treated them cool

She said that suckers and brothers always makin' her sick

So she gave up on em now she's just attracted to chicks

But she never seen a man with a soul as clean

He fightin' to be whatever God made him be

Don't want to manipulate the date, the legger, or shake her

Wanna give his life to her followin' his creator

Maybe she gonna see he ain't crazy and start wondering

"God, what's the reason you made me? "

Maybe it ain't to be physically attractive just so you can trap and capture

A man, that'd be superficially happy. Nah, you're worth more than that, yeah.

Beautiful lies, yeah, I know they ain't right

But I bought it, but that's the price of life

Yeah, look

I wanted the girl that was super official

I found my standard superficial

'Cause behind the glamour was some super issues

And I ain't trying to shoot to diss you, I'm just sayin'

Everybody gotta look fly on the planes

And you don't wanna step outside, lookin' plain

They call it running game, everybody playn'

Dang, that's trinity the word 'play'

Sephora made you make up your mind

Coach bags made you feel first class this whole time

And them Nikey kicks running your life,

Your ambition been driven by them cars that you like

I know some girls that's faster than T3ch Nine

Self esteem as low as they neck-line

'Cause they don't know whose image they reflect, went to bed to find love, woke up with rats

This is a matter of heart, kid

Gimme a second, let me show you

If you own something you can't depart with

You probably don't own it, it own you

Man, tell me what's the price of life

Too much to find peace, so what's your release

Yeah, there's much more, believe me

Than living for the things that your leaving

Beautiful lies, I know they ain't right, but I bought it

But that's the price of life.

She camouflage her insecurity in Jimmy Choo's

High heels but the mountain's top she'll never choose

She'll set up for a dude & precious medals

A slave to his money by his chains you can tell it

Page to embellish the life that you really live

Them nice clothes cover up, how you really feel

When your eye liner off and you've been revealed

Trapped in a prison with multiple life sentences

55 life times as infinity, you don't wanna pray your middle fingers to Divinity

You ever stop and think about what the incentive is

Livin for their approval has got it's benefits

They special 'cause they don't live like you

But they die and their blood bleeds red like you

Truth is they depressed, takin' meds like you

They ain't livin' it up, they're dead like you

But you can live, uh

If you know the price of life
