[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 |
