Flowz - The Price of Life lyrics

Welcome to the real world, where love is just for hire Money buys you anything and everything that you desire To get money, take money, think of your survival Rent money paid monthly yo you're living in the wild I've been thinking since a child, forever gaining knowledge Learning everything I can and learnt to never break a promise To myself I'm always honest, I'm very well aware of what I'm capable of doing if I have to make a profit My whole fams hungry I ain't trying to take a wallet Loose change from a stranger doesn't fade away the problem Steal from the rich and give to the poor To bring peace to those living in war, stuck in a prison of thought The earth we live on's turned into a morgue, clear skies have turned into a storm Best friends turn snitches in court Face jail time and instantly talk Breaking an intimate war, loyalty's such a spiritual force And my reflection in the mirror is it's physical form I never give a report or sign a statement I'll keep what I know inside of me No matter how much time that i'm faced with I'll die with my mateship With all my pride still obtained If before dishonor, I'll take my spine to the grave with no lies to my name Just a mind that's insane and a heart that is cold from the ice in my veins I'm unlikely to change, my path's set in stone Tomorrow's based on my past and I can't let it go When I'm sparkin' a cone I'm in the dark on my own It's just me and my addiction and the laughter of ghosts Dead friends and lost love, the only art that I know An empty portrait of my family's the heart of my home Been scared to the bone both physically and mentally The evidence is evident, we're infinitely meant to be Driven by my enemies and pushed to my limits Leave straight-edge, fake friends, crooked and twisted Revenge is a gift that's too good to be given It has to be earned To teach first it has to be earned I spill blood in open water to attract what I earn I take action, talk is cheap and I've had it with words Most can't afford their speech, run their mouths and let their checks bounce Speak behind a screen but face-to-face they keep their heads down My fam's proud, more pride than a pride of lions You could try to k** us, but you'd die tryin' I'm not lying and if you think that I am, then come try it You could have nine lives, you'd still die where you stand Don't put your life in my hands, ‘cause I'll choke you to d**h When I flip it's lights out like an opium den Last dude who touched River, f**in' opened his head I could've k**ed him but I put him in a coma instead I'm not joking but I bet that you hope that I am Well f** you You don't even know who I am I'm strong and loyal, two words that go over ya heads Like the stars in the sky that the ocean reflects A hundred mates ain't sh** when you're alone in your bed With a knife to your throat and no hope of defense Time makes you grow apart from the closest of friends And makes you see things you can only hope to forget Well at least where I come from, and where I grew up West city Melbourne where we all do d** School was all about who sold and who bought crack Year 9 selling points out of newport flats Like tumours, rumours always spreading, like who called jacks Who gets tapped and stands tall and who falls flat Where im from if you cap tags then you get bashed And if you lag, and get bagged, then you get stabbed It doesn't matter if you go to gym and try to be big ‘Cause your eyes can never lie, you can't hide from a fist I've seen tight jeans get stuck and cry like a b**h A six pack didn't save him from a knife to the ribs And that was normal in my eyes as a kid, ask anybody Knife fights and ice pipes were just childish tricks Now days I see life as a gift Every second is a blessing and when ever you could die in a blink argh
