Hey, The Price Of Fame Cost Too Much
Like These Niggas Talk Too Much
I'm Ready For Whatever Somebody Better Tell 'em
Said I'm Ready For Whatever
Hey, Hey, Hey,
(verse 1)
Even though my head in the clouds I'm planted on the pavement
how I walk around people staring in amazement
I play alotta game a well-being I ain't playing with it
they so judgemental man but they don't understand
if ya life was in jeopardy erryday is you tellin' me
you wouldn't need weaponery just because of ya felony's
consider this at least I got errybody sweating me
Homies streets is people who won't rest unless I rest in peace
killed my folk a year ago still in my sleep they threatin' me
paranoid ya stressin me ain't nobody protecting me
I'm dealing with the pressure from my partner dying next to me
niggas know I was arrested they coming for me eventually
this was all the things that I was goin' through mentally
this could be the reason I ignore the penitionary
not mentioning New Orlean niggas comin' in the city
killin' all summer long ain't nobody pay attention
(breakdown)
now is it that hard to understand if you listen
either die or go to jail that's a hell of decision
but I'm wrong and I know it my excuses unimportant
I'm just tryna let you know that I ain't think I had a choice, fereal
(hook)
I had straps in my ride gotta go to prison
you waitin' on me to die you gone be waiting for a minute
boy I'm ready for whateva somebody betta tell 'em
I'll be here when the smoke clear and errything settle (fereal)
can't afford the price of fame cause it cost too much
man these sucka niggas lame and they talk too much
that why I'm ready for whateva somebody tell 'em
I'll be here when the smoke clear and errything settle
(break down)
[T.I. Talking]
foreal, foreal, ey foreal, i said when errything settle
foreal,ey foreal, ey foreal, ey foreal I said when errything settle foreal
(verse2)
I'mma man I ain't perfect I admit it I'm guilty
but understand feel me I was riding filthy
cuz niggas out there plottin' to rob me and kill me
500,000 erry year spent on security
my future was bright but now it's gettin' blury
cuz niggas in a hurry to find me and bury me
but surely God'll deliver me up out it
I'mma fighter till the heart I'll foreva be about it
I'mma father to my sons asset to my community
look all that I done my good out weigh the negativity
ey mentally I was focused on not lettin' history reapet itself
thats why heat was kept in the vicinity
yes offically I broke the law but not maliciously
through all the publicity was anyone considering
my position and the logic hidden my decision
but they caught me wit 'em now I'm off to prison, PERIOD
(breakdown)
but is it that hard to understand if you listen
either die or go to jail that's a hell of decision
but I'm wrong and I know it my excuses unimportant
I'm just tryna let you know that I ain't think I had a choice, fereal
(hook)
I had straps in my ride gotta go to prison
you waitin' on me to die you gone be waiting for a minute
boy I'm ready for whateva somebody betta tell em
I'll be here when the smoke clear and errything settle (fereal)
can't afford the price of fame cause it cost too much
man these sucka niggas lame and they talk too much
that why I'm ready for whateva somebody betta tell 'em
I'll be here when the smoke clear and errything settle
(Final Breakdown)
(T.I. Talking)
Ey I said listen homeboy
you can talk all you want mayne you know what I'm sayin'
errybody talking to the king you know what I'm sayin'
they like escalades errybody got one
but the fact of the matter remain
if ya ain't walk a mile in my shoes and ya ain't live a day in my life
ya ain't survive the shit I done survived
ya ain't had to deal with the shit i had to deal with homeboy
you can't mutherf**kin' judge me partner
I mean look at folk like Sean Taylor
you know what they said they said had he had a strap
he woulda lived today
you know what I'm sayin
now true enough I did wrong I broke the law
I deserve to be punished I understand that aight cool
but listen man I gotta house full of kids
a mama and an old lady who life in my
responsibility you dig that!?
now for all of y'all who think I was just ridin' around on some dumb shit
you know I'm smarter than you man
you know I'm smarter than you dawg
ey if you think I was just being stupid
shorty I got some mutherf**kin' ocean front property in Idaho for sale homie
if you beleive that I gotta bridge in Brooklyn I wanna sell you partnah
ey man real talk in order to understand my train of thoughts
you'll have to put yo self in my position
you can't expect me to think like you cuz my life ain't like yours
you know what I'm sayin? if you don't understand that you don't
understand english I'm done talking
