Lloyd Banks - Price Of Life Lyrics






[Drama:]
As usual, Banks with the wise

[Lloyd Banks:]
I rather chop mine up for solo than eat off a shady plate
My wisdom potent enough for two juniors
My babies babies straight
Trust no body on my plates me and my crazy steaks
Celebrating I'd rather blow my candles out Mercedes cake
This for my doubters gave me hate
Second guessing I caned them down 10 toes
Niggas you thought was fly I had to lend clothes
Called it a day I'm blowing Cadillac and Porsche, Benz, Rolls
Pause in my favorite moments
Getting money turns friends foes
Lied in your face red nose
Trouble they near you cut my ties wide
Niggas rather support the unfamiliar
Armored wearer gun concealer
Catch you slipping you breathe wrong
[?] you gotta bin hundreds to put them sleeves on
Insults ain't even on best, sneak dissing the flow God
I clean out all these new niggas, remixing my old bars
Timing is a big plus, streets missing me so far
Dragging them by their feet, added to my mystique

I got my ears all on the street
The strong appraise the weak
I always got the time to take it there
Most will face defeat
Schemers out here on the creek
Waiting for you to sleep
Everybody bought a dollar the price of life is cheap
If you been the places I've been
You know a thing about survivin'
Keep it on cause niggas recognizin'
You prosper from the strivin'
They want you down when you risin'
But I ain't with the duckin' or the dodgin'
The devil sneaking 5s in
They rob still cheat and lie when, you get on they gon seek Providing I'm mobbing
I'm ready for the problem, riding
Window open up for enterprising

I had the closest ones that love me took from me
That hurt my heart, scarred the boy in me
Now pains here hoping we grow apart
The ghetto gruesome after dark
The goons let vows loose in the park
Hear the spark won't stop us here
Careful how you choose your remarks
I'm back killing them approach the studio the track shivering
My ancient jewelry glow subtracts middlemen
Rings up to the sky cause they wan full clip your health
Crooked copper want my ID gotta reach for that shit yourself
More than 15 years of shining dip my microphone in diamonds
I'm in Alex McQueen linen lining these MCs up
Home where the demons ride November
Politics disguise agenda end of the world as we know it
Poet pen what I remember
Sense some tension now you turning
Concerned that they might switch
Bullets for my ghost pillow covered burner like quick
Ribbed/Rubber soles under my louis loafs cause slipping detrimental
Met you niggas with my grip on
Fake love always set you wrong

I got my ears all on the street
The strong appraise the weak
I always got the time to take it there
Most will face defeat
Schemers out here on the creek
Waiting for you to sleep
Everybody bought a dollar the price of life is cheap
If you been the places I've been
You know a thing about survivin'
Keep it on cause niggas recognizin'
You prosper from the strivin'
They want you down when you risin'
But I ain't with the duckin' or the dodgin'
The devil sneaking 5s in
They rob still cheat and lie when, you get on they gon seek Providing I'm mobbing
I'm ready for the problem, riding
Window open up for enterprising

    [Verse 1: Lloyd Banks]
    Uh, I rather chop mine up for solo than eat off a Shady plate
