Price Everything

V6

[INTRO — quirky synth, hard drums] [Female tag] TCG MUSIC. [Vince — amused] Everybody got a price. I got questions. [Beat drops] [HOOK — chant, crowd responses] Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that (What?) Big bag, big bag, where it at? (Where?) Money talk, money talk, talk back (Talk) Whole world on sale, who buying that? (Who?) Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more (More) Too much money, still want more (More) Price went up, can't afford (Nah) Got everything, still want yours (Ha!) [VERSE 1 — cocky, playful] Money talks, mine got a speech impediment Stutter when I spend it, fluent when I'm getting it Wallet need a therapist, balance looking delicate Bank sent me a statement, I said, "That ain't my sentiment" Know a man with seven cars, ain't going nowhere Twenty watches on his wrist, never got time to spare Bought his girl a diamond, she was already a gem Spent a fortune on the setting, couldn't hold on to them [FLOW SWITCH — rapid, clipped] New suit, new shoes, new debt, new stress Big chain, big check, still can't rest Everybody wanna shine, nobody pay electric Everybody want the crown, nobody read the fine print Chasing all that interest, ain't nobody interested Got a brand-new personality, still came defective Put designer on his body, couldn't dress up defeat Million-dollar mattress, still can't get to sleep [BEAT CUT] That's expensive. [PRE-HOOK — call and response] How much? (Too much!) For what? (Not much!) Need more? (So what?) Can't stop? (Good luck!) [HOOK] Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that (What?) Big bag, big bag, where it at? (Where?) Money talk, money talk, talk back (Talk) Whole world on sale, who buying that? (Who?) Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more (More) Too much money, still want more (More) Price went up, can't afford (Nah) Got everything, still want yours (Ha!) [VERSE 2 — bounce, then double-time] My money got a passport, problems got a visa Every time I try to leave, they pull up like, "Good to see ya" They put a toll on the road, put a fee on the bridge Put a price on the water, put a lien on the crib Put a lock on opportunity, sold us the key Then they charged admission just to learn to be free I got a problem with the profit when the people are the product Sell us answers to the questions that the same people brought up [BEAT STOPS] Sold! [DOUBLE-TIME — precise] Put a logo on the thunder, sell umbrellas in the rain Turn a heartbreak into content, turn a paycheck into chains Price your pain, brand your shame, sell your name, play the game Then they call you self-employed while they own everything They say the sky's the limit, put a mortgage on the moon Sold the morning to the workers, kept the afternoon If the dollar makes you holler, why the wealthy never quiet? All that money in the world, still can't buy a little silence [PRE-HOOK] How much? (Too much!) For what? (Not much!) Need more? (So what?) Can't stop? (Good luck!) [HOOK] Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that (What?) Big bag, big bag, where it at? (Where?) Money talk, money talk, talk back (Talk) Whole world on sale, who buying that? (Who?) Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more (More) Too much money, still want more (More) Price went up, can't afford (Nah) Got everything, still want yours (Ha!) [BRIDGE — bass only] [Vince — low, conversational] They say time is money. So I tried to make a deposit. Bank said they don't take memories. [Two-beat silence] Funny how that works. [VERSE 3 — commanding, accelerating] Billionaire complaining 'bout his little piece of pie Mother clipping coupons just to keep her kids alive She got twenty-seven dollars, he got twenty-seven rides Both awake at three in the morning, only one knows why I ain't anti-getting-rich, I'm anti-getting-owned Buy a thousand houses, can't purchase being home Buy a million followers, can't purchase being known Put a price on everything, can't buy back what is gone [FLOW SWITCH — furious precision] Tell a kid to dream big, then you charge him for the sky Tell a mother work harder while her groceries multiply Tell a man his time is priceless, pay him less to stay alive And congratulate the winners while the rest can barely rise They want a piece of your peace, then they lease it back to you Put your name across a contract, call the handcuffs something new You can own a whole horizon, still be staring at a wall What you really got to show if the money owns it all? [BEAT CUT] You ain't buying what you want. You buying what they told you to want. [FINAL HOOK — explosive, crowd answers] Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that (What?) Big bag, big bag, where it at? (Where?) Money talk, money talk, talk back (Talk) Whole world on sale, who buying that? (Who?) Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more (More) Too much money, still want more (More) Price went up, can't afford (Nah) Got everything, still want yours (Ha!) [OUTRO — drums cut] Everybody knows the price. Nobody reads the receipt. [Hard stop]
