price of life

Singer:lloyd banks

as usual

banks with the wise

i rather chop mine up for solo than eat off a shady plate

my wisdom potent enough for two juniors

my babies babies straight

trust no body on my plates me and my crazy steaks

celebrating i'd rather blow my candles out mercedes cake

this for my doubters gave me hate

second guessing i caned them down 10 toes

niggas you thought was fly i had to lend clothes

called it a day i'm blowing cadillac and porsche

benz

rolls

pause in my favorite moments

getting money turns friends foes

lied in your face red nose

trouble they near you cut my ties wide

niggas rather support the unfamiliar

armored wearer gun concealer

catch you slipping you breathe wrong

you gotta bin hundreds to put them sleeves on

insults ain't even on best

sneak dissing the flow god

i clean out all these new niggas

remixing my old bars

timing is a big plus

streets missing me so far

dragging them by their feet

added to my mystique

i got my ears all on the street

the strong appraise the weak

i always got the time to take it there

most will face defeat

schemers out here on the creek

waiting for you to sleep

everybody bought a dollar the price of life is cheap

if you been the places i've been

you know a thing about survivin'

keep it on cause niggas recognizin'

you prosper from the strivin'

they want you down when you risin'

but i ain't with the duckin' or the dodgin'

the devil sneaking 5s in

they rob still cheat and lie when

you get on they gon seek providing i'm mobbing

i'm ready for the problem

riding

window open up for enterprising

i had the closest ones that love me took from me

that hurt my heart

scarred the boy in me

now pains here hoping we grow apart

the ghetto gruesome after dark

the goons let vows loose in the park

hear the spark won't stop us here

careful how you choose your remarks

i'm back killing them approach the studio the track shivering

my ancient jewelry glow subtracts middlemen

rings up to the sky cause they wan full clip your health

crooked copper want my id gotta reach for that shit yourself

more than 15 years of shining dip my microphone in diamonds

i'm in alex mcqueen linen lining these mcs up

home where the demons ride november

politics disguise agenda end of the world as we know it

poet pen what i remember

sense some tension now you turning

concerned that they might switch

bullets for my ghost pillow covered burner like quick

ribbed/rubber soles under my louis loafs cause slipping detrimental

met you niggas with my grip on

fake love always set you wrong

i got my ears all on the street

the strong appraise the weak

i always got the time to take it there

most will face defeat

schemers out here on the creek

waiting for you to sleep

everybody bought a dollar the price of life is cheap

if you been the places i've been

you know a thing about survivin'

keep it on cause niggas recognizin'

you prosper from the strivin'

they want you down when you risin'

but i ain't with the duckin' or the dodgin'

the devil sneaking 5s in

they rob still cheat and lie when

you get on they gon seek providing i'm mobbing

i'm ready for the problem
