Priceless

Strictly dollars, no problem

We going to let this moon rise

Feel the vibe

They say that everybody got a price

Through material lust, for the things nice

Better think twice

(Not everything can be bought or sold)

Certain things in this life money don't control

Yo, life itself in this world is priceless

Word to my nephew, my niece

The way I hold mic devices

With innate skill, don't be surprised kid

There is no denying, this is the way it should be done crisp

Yo I could never, be paid enough for this

So on the paper, will you might add be the palm shit

Today you could be mislead, by the fasaud of video life

And what a wack rapper said

But understand, thing is priceless

'Cause it enables one to see both sides of the coin kid

'Cause even if you got to lie, the best thing in life you might not buy

Like knowledge, knowledge of self

Knowledge of God, knowledge of health

Since the directions, step through and collect the pot of wealth

And that's for real, the truth I can't conceal

So I teamed up with Red just to let you know the deal

Ayo for real, far gone way too vain

Them a run from reality to escape the pain

The salary the aim, no more rely on the brain

'Cause everything has a price when you have no shame

Everyone wants a life, the hard thing's to gain

Thinking what the can't have, money will obtain

But it ain't so simple and plain, know what I'm saying

It just ain't so simple and plain

They say that everybody got a price

Through material lust, for the things nice

Better think twice

(Not everything can be bought or sold)

Certain things in this life money don't control

Yo survival of the fittest, to survive you need dough

But once you got dough, got to maintain a steady flow

And let it grow you know, add another zero

Yo from down in the ghetto, we bust through the door

Now accustomed to things, you wasn't before

Money showed you power you never felt when poor

To say money bring power, power with corruption

'Til corrupted to the point paralleled to destruction

Disgusted, mind full of lusting

Got mixed priorities, family love first thing

Praises due for life, from one morning

Because tomorrow's a site, not a guaranteed thing

So live to the fullest, make your moves to win

Cherish your brethren, nourish and love the children

Throw them positive, negative will kill them

Drafted to war for arrogant wicked men

But it's all unity, one world community

To divide is the recipe for our tragedy

So adequately you get yours I get mine

Take nothing for granted and walk a righteous line

Uhh, uh uh

They say that everybody got a price

Through material lust, for the things nice

Better think twice

(Not everything can be bought or sold)

Certain things in this life money don't control

Ayo, the love from a woman that ain't your mother

Priceless

The sun, moon and Earth and what they yield is priceless

The morals that you pass down to kids is priceless

"That's why I always take time to write this"

To have hope in this world is priceless

Common sense with education is priceless

Having insight with understanding is priceless

A combination of the two harmonises

If the practice of what you preach is priceless

Learning from your own mistakes is also priceless

Yo for real, check your own actions

And be proud of them, if they share the same likeness

In turn earns respect which is priceless

And when you speak the truth, your word is priceless

Don't forget self-control over temptation is priceless

Like all facets of hip hop we symbolise this

They say that everybody got a price

Through material lust, for the things nice

Better think twice

(Not everything can be bought or sold)

Certain things in this life money don't control

You know we all want to get money money

I want to get money, you want to get money

Just don't get it twisted, know what I'm saying

Money ain't everything

Do you want me to go and beg for $10 a week for the rest of my life?

I tried that, I rather die and I don't have to

because I'm going to make it
