You might live like a preacher
Or spend your time in sin.
Ohh, but all men are judged equal
When it's time to cash 'em in.
Someday, oh you must pay the cost
Don't matter where you've been
Or what you worn
It's just the price we pay
For being born
Ohh maybe your momma said you was special
Made you feel invincible
But your momma can't help you
Once your hourgla** is full
Someday, oh you must pay the cost
Somebody don't you say it more
Ohh it's just the price we pay
For being born
Ohh you can drink away your fears
Or try to numb the pain.
No matter how far down you bury it
The truth gonna rise again
Someday people, ohh someday you got to pay the cost
Ohh we is just flesh and bone
Ohhhh that's the price we pay
Just for being born
