Lyrics

[Intro: Redhead Kingpin, (Havoc)

Strictly dollars, mo' problems

(We gon live this one right, live it right)

[Chorus: Redhead Kingpin, (Havoc)

They say that everybody got a price

Through material lusts, 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's no denying this the way it should be done, crisp

Yo, I could never, be paid enough for this

So on the paper, for which I might add be the bomb shit

To later you be mislead by the facade of video life

Or what a wack rapper said

But understanding is priceless

Cause it enables one to see both sides of the coin, kid

Cause even if you got alot

The best things in life, you might not got

Like knowledge, knowledge of self, knowledge of God, knowledge of Hell

For sense of direction, steppin' to collect our motto 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 to aim, no morale on the brain

Cause everything has a price when you have no shame

Everyone wants a life, the hard things to gain

Thinkin' what they can't have, money will obtain

But it ain't so simple or plain, knahmsayin'?

Just ain't so simple or plain

[Chorus: Redhead Kingpin, (Havoc)

They say that everybody got a price

Through material lusts, for the things nice

Better think twice (Not everything can be bought or sold)

Certain things in this life money don't control

(Certain things in this life money don't control)

Yo, certain things in this life money don't control

Ayo, survival of the fittest, to survive you need dough

But once you got dough, gotta maintain a steady flow and let it grow

You know, add another zero

Yo, from down in the ghetto, come off of the dough

And now accustomed to things that you wasn't before

Money shows you power you never felt when poor

True say, money bring power, power hold with corruption

Still corrupted to the point parallel to destruction

Disgustin', mindful of a lustin'

Got mixed priorities, family love first thing

Praises are due for life, one more morning

Cause tomorrow's a sight, not a guaranteed thing

So live to the fullest, make your moves to win

Cherish your brethren, nourish and love the children

Told them positive, negative'll kill them

Drafted to war for arrogant, wicked men

But it's all unity, one world community

To divide is the recipe, sour tragedy

So adequately, you get yours, I get mine

Take nothin' for granted and walk a righteous line, uh

[Chorus: Redhead Kingpin, (Havoc)

They say that everybody got a price

Through material lusts, for the things nice

Better think twice (Not everything can be bought or sold)

Certain things in this life money don't control

(Certain things in this life money don't control)

Yo, certain things in this life money don't control

Ayo, the love from a woman, that ain't your mother's, 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 harmonizes

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 and humble if they share the same likeness

That in turn, earns respect which is priceless

And when you speak the truth, your word is priceless

Don't forget self control over temptation's priceless

Like all facets to hip-hop, we symbolize this

[Chorus: Redhead Kingpin, (Havoc)

They say that everybody got a price

Through material lusts, for the things nice

Better think twice (Not everything can be bought or sold)

Certain things in this life money don't control

(Certain things in this life money don't control)

Yo, certain things in this life money don't control

(Certain things in this life money don't control)

[Outro: Redhead Kingpin, (Havoc)

That's def (Got it now)

You know we all wanna get money, money

I wanna get money, you wanna get money

Just don't get it twisted, knahmsayin'?

Money ain't everything

You want me to go and beg work for ten

Dollars a week for the rest of my life?

I try that, I'd rather die

And I don't have to, because I'm gonna make it
