Tell me the price
Tell me the price
Tell me the price
Tell me the price
No surprise

What's the price?
Prices, prices, going up
Prices, prices (price)
The bitch bad, I slide
Prices, prices, going up
Hold on, yeah

Prices going up, prices

Price, going up yeah (I slide)
(Skrrt skrrt, skrrt skrrt, going up)
Hold on
(Woo woo woo, price)

Bad Mona Lisa
Slide with my people
Pink slip for the ride
But what's in the trunk, it's illegal
Came from dimes, no cosigns
You can read between the lines
Like a pro skater did my own grinds

Tell me what the preacher preach about (preacher)
Tell me what the teacher teach about (teacher)
I'ma go find me a better route
That bullshit and cap you can leave it out (cap)
They talking but ain't tryna hear me out
Won't open the door, tryna leave me out (open)
I'ma pull up and just empty out (brrr)
Come through, just make sure you clear me out (brrr)

Ooh

What's the price?
What's the price?
Prices going up, prices
Hold on

I do not care what the tag will say (I don't)
I done brought out a big bag today (bag)
I just pulled up with the MAC today (brrr)

Pay what you owe, eighty a show (eighty)
Close the curtain and smoke in the Ghost (gas)
Hop in the i8 and lift up the door (skrrt)
Young rich nigga, more money than the old (hey)
Got your hoe at the condo, no clothes, yeah
Climb on a young nigga pole, yeah

Sticks and the dracos in here (brrr)
Got racks in the back of my pants (racks)
Got racks in the bachelor pad (racks)
