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 her
Date her, lay her, then 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, call em 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 Nike kicks running your life
Your ambition been driven by them
Cars that you like i know some girls that's
Faster than Tech N9ne
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 regrets
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
Preach
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 benefit's
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
