Priceless Lyrics - Esthero

[Red 1] 

Strictly dollars, no problem 

[Misfit] 

We going to let this moon rise 

Feel the vibe 

CHORUS [Red 1] {Misfit} 

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 

[Misfit] 

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 

[Red 1] 

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 

CHORUS 

[Red 1] 

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 

CHORUS 

[Misfit] 

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 

CHORUS 

[Red 1] 

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
