[Verse 1]
(Yeah, yeah)
Tell me then
What have you got your mind set on
What are your goals and the reason for the living
Why do you wake up and what are you thinking of
Why do these peoples opinions bother you so much
I'm not believing in luck, believing in hard work
Surrounded by people that bring out the best of you
Give you a nudge on the shoulder when egos ahead of you
They know what’s up, they give you love
Love is important, I'm learning that
Slowly this man that I want to be as I grow up
Everybody has a price, not talking about money
I'm talking about what it would take for you
To do whatever you can to make yourself happy
People seem nice, they give advice
If you dig deeper, their motives are vice
Enter confusion, yeah, what am I losing?
My mind has oozing out questions
Like, what is the reason for all of this?
I want to be balling
But Look at the lifestyles, while I am scrolling
Money is freedom, in many ways is
But can’t always solve what needs to be fixed
What is the risk and what do I give?
And how do I get all these people to listen to this
Persistence is taught as a lesson, keep at it
An addict not wanting to fight it, I'll let it take over
It's all that I've wanted, I know that it's worth it
And everything led to this moment, I'm blessed to living
And know that the people on my side are wanting the vision
[Chorus]
Everybody has a price
Keeping the fire, humble beginnings
I know it's a matter a time it's a matter of time
Had to be there, to be where I am
To know where I’m going
Keeping the plan, just as alive
No turning back, look at us growing
Everybody has a price
Feeling the fire, humble beginnings
I know it’s a matter a time it's a matter of time
Had to be there, to be where I am
To know where I’m going
Keeping the plan, just as alive
No turning back, look at us growing

[Verse 2]
One thing this isn't is ordinary
I know what it's like to give everything up
For a shot to do everything you have wanted
While sitting and wasting my life doing nothing
I figured these movements are necessary
Looking up at the time every 2 hours
And counting the minutes till I can go home
And complete what I started
This life I've been living is solitary
Come find me if my music speaks to you ever so slightly
Cause that’s all I want to make
Perfection is only my imperfection tryna overtake
How were making music it's daily
We've got us a plan that brings us to the hall of fame
I'm straight off the plane in the studio
I don't look back if you know me you'll understand
That I'm packing this suitcase and leaving
I'm making this music a reason to wake up I need it
I'm feeling defeated
I'm watching rappers succeeding and doing the things
That I've only been dreaming of, shouldn't be comparing our life
But that is what happens when you've been alone
Every weekend, these thoughts only weaken me
Now we've got people depending on me
I won't drop it so easily
There's so many things that id never bring up from the past
I was scared of what people would find
It's funny how everything falls into place
When you realize there is just nothing to hide
How many times can I fall in a lifetime?
Infinite thoughts when my life it is finite
Never ending cycle only defines us
How many people can call this a lifeline?
[Chorus]
Everybody has a price
Keeping the fire, humble beginnings
I know it's a matter a time it's a matter of time
Had to be there, to be where I am
To know where I'm going
Keeping the plan, just as alive
No turning back, look at us growing
Everybody has a price
Feeling the fire, humble beginnings
I know it's a matter a time it's a matter of time
Had to be there, to be where I am
To know where I'm going
Keeping the plan, just as alive
No turning back, look at us growing

[Verse 3]
Everybody has a price
Been doing it like this, been doing it right
Now waking and feeling amazing, I just want to say this
It's not always like this, it's been on rotation
I can't fall asleep, 'cause there's too much to do
And the days that I wouldn't get out of my bed
I was thinking that I wasn't needed
The world it keeps spinning, and whether I got up
And did what I should that it wouldn't have made any difference
I want to be making a difference
It's easy to say it but hard when you're in it
And fighting your own definition
I try not to listen, like stick to the mission
And anything that I've been after I'll get it
A dream that that is bigger than us and I mean it
Yeah, I really mean it
To get where I am, the route wasn't scenic
Whatever you're chasing it shouldn't be easy
There's light in the struggle but shine where you can
Till you get where you're reaching
How could do I do this without you
What gave me the push and the right moves
Behind the scenes, no one can tell what is going on
Given my 20s to walk in the right shoes
It went from me speaking to only myself for a decade
To given a message and proud to know people
That will do whatever they can to protect me
This went from me writing a story
To more hobby to quitting my job
'Cause I knew what I wanted a better life
Couldn't imagine where I would have ended up
Probably stuck in the dead of night
[Chorus]
Everybody has a price
Keeping the fire, humble beginnings
I know it's a matter a time it's a matter of time
Had to be there, to be where I am
To know where I'm going
Keeping the plan, just as alive
No turning back, look at us growing
Everybody has a price
Feeling the fire, humble beginnings
I know it's a matter a time it's a matter of time
Had to be there, to be where I am
To know where I'm going
Keeping the plan, just as alive
No turning back, look at us growing
