Priceless

Strictly dollars, no problem
 We going to let this moon rise
 Feel the vibe
 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
 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
 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
 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
 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
 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
