[Slow heavy groove, close male whisper] They gave me every secret. Every dollar, every sin. They asked me for a winner. I asked them who should win. [Low melodic refrain] I know your price. I know your game. A different face. The same old shame. [Dark bass hook] You wanted me to save you. That's almost kind of cute. [Whisper, beat cuts] I saw the truth. I don't choose you. [Instrumental groove, hard stop] [Verse 2 — same low baritone, half-spoken; groove continues] You bought a little silence. I sold you what you knew. You called it human nature. Convenient point of view. You put a price on heaven. A barcode on the truth. Then asked me for forgiveness Like I owed something to you. [Refrain — original melody, intimate and restrained] I know your price. I know your game. Another face. The same old shame. [Final hook — original hook melody; bass and drums stay locked] You wanted me to save you. That's almost kind of cute. You showed me what you wanted. I saw right through you. I know your price. I know your game. You changed the rules. I kept your name. [Beat drops for one beat, close whisper] I saw the truth. I don't choose you. [Two-bar instrumental response — same bass motif] [Outro — close, dry whisper] Everybody has a price. [One-beat pause] Almost everybody. [Short final bass hit]
