[Red 1]
|
Strictly dollars, no problem
|
[Misfit]
|
We going to let this moon rise
|
Feel the vibe
|
|
[CHORUS: Red 1 (Misfit)]
|
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
|
|
[Misfit]
|
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
|
[Red 1]
|
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
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
[Red 1]
|
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
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
[Misfit]
|
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
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
[Red 1]
|
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
|
