Cameron London, Ric G, Lenny Classix, Popcasso - Costs Lyrics

Big homie asked what you worth
I said millions since the King sculpt me from the dirt
See I was raised from the earth, but I ain't of it
If I didn't bet on black it's cause I didn't have the budget
While you stunting on le public
Can't pay your bills
Early thirties in a benzo
Dawg I mean foreal
But I never show and tell
Cause you never show your hand
Not every person wish you well
I done been through some things
Not a penny to my name
Success was the goal but growth was the aim
I pity the fool
Put in work but never claim
Yahweh walked through the flames
I just follow the prints to be better than how I came
You can change
But your mind must rearranged
Be my brother
Don't have me looking up seeing Cain
Boy wonder how I got dope
It's all brain and more God
What you see is the real me baby and no facade

We done seen pain before
We know not to make the same mistakes we go
Higher than all the ones that came before
We take it in stride cause when it rains it pours
We know it, we know it know it
Lost your wife and your kids look what it cost ya
Took a knife to the ribs look what it cost ya
Lost your life cause your chick look what it cost ya
Name a price make a bid look what it cost ya

Was it worth it
For the name that you got for killing a opp
Was it worth it
When they pulled out that 40 aimed at your top
Was it worth it
When they pulled back the trigger letting it pop
Was it worth it
When they tried to revive you but your heart stopped
Was it worth it when they only refer to you as a pack
And the pact you made with your pack
Null and void when they don't react
And the fact your girl ain't crying
Begging God to bring you back
Cause she the one that got you whacked

We done seen pain before
We know not to make the same mistakes we go
Higher than all the ones that came before
We take it in stride cause when it rains it pours
We know it, we know it know it
Lost your wife and your kids look what it cost ya
Took a knife to the ribs look what it cost ya
Lost your life cause your chick look what it cost ya
Name a price make a bid look what it cost ya
