Price Tag ft. KAYLUP YES Lyrics

Everybody want some independence

Everybody hustlin’ for a pendant

Everybody know somebody that’s a tennant

That’s been workin’ double shifts to feed them self and a dependent

If I won the lottery I’d probably spend it all

‘Cuz honestly in this economy it’s get involved

Or get dissolved and obviously I wanna ball

If you knew what I’d do to get it you would be appalled

I never seen you send a dollar to your cousin

You say you love him, but in yo heart you quick to judge him

You wonder why he buggin’ in the street life hustlin’

You never call to ask him, but you steady fussin’

Instead you keep your distance from him cuz you know that boy wild

You won’t even have discussion cuz that shit defiled

But if you knew how he was strugglin’ and you had to walk a mile

I bet you’d probably do the same for your child

Everybody got bills, my nigga

Everybody got trials

Everybody hustlin’

Everybody look for a smile

Everybody work, then wait for a deposit

So they can rob the demons in the closet

I swear I know a couple cheap thrills that got me checking for a price tag

And hopes deferred that have you sleepless in the nighttime

I know I probably have more than I deserve

But I wonder if I have to struggle like this for a lifetime

My bank statements tell me that I’m broke

They don’t know a couple bellies got me stretched out

My new job tell me not to smoke

Even though my situation got me stressed out

My new friends tell me not to cope

My mama friends tell me I should vote

I tell ‘em both they can push me off the boat

I’d rather try to float here if that’s my only lifeline

Cheap thrills make a nigga wonder

How it feels make a nigga wonder

These bills make a nigga wonder

Another lost soul checkin’ for a price tag

Ahh Yeah

Time’s a wasting and... I’m impatient

I wanna quit my occupation

It’s kinda wild, family

I’m tryna earn a pretty penny for my gross, what I need most is Suga Mama. I’m ain’t too proud, family

Ah man take a look in my eyes

I’m living life but I’m feeling like demise, my nigga

To tell the truth, man I’m living a lie

I’m not just one of the guys. But yet I try to make

Everything seem copacetic. Credit score pathetic. Mama said forget it

Told me sit back and look for the aesthetic, but

Though I know that I’m blessed, feel like I’m pressed for success

My life and my dreams don’t mesh

And I always fall for girls who tease with sex

And use Q’s for their G’s when they text. Yes

I know It’s not a good look

I try to kick my own philosophy when obviously I know it’s not the Good Book

Ahh. I needa take the road less traveled

Though it got hella gravel Imma let God dabble

So I’m not without a paddle, I’m good over here

There’s only facts in my tracks and they wonder why I cat

I told ‘em... I don’t live life like I got 9

There’s no rhyme or reason that’s the reason I rhyme

So I’m steady lookin for a price tag

Before I gotta wave my white flag, yeah

Cheap thrills make a nigga wonder

How it feels make a nigga wonder

These bills make a nigga wonder

I’m just a lost soul checkin’ for a price tag

Cheap thrills make a nigga wonder

How it feels make a nigga wonder

These bills make a nigga wonder

I’m just a lost soul checkin’ for a price tag
