Da’ T.R.U.T.H. - Price Tag lyrics

We trying to show 'em that for Christ we live
Help 'em understand for Christ we die
Man the cost is high
You going to say your goodbyes
Because part of you is going to have to die
And the cost is high
We trying to show 'em that for Christ we live
Help 'em understand for Christ we die
Man the cost is high
You going to say your goodbyes
Because part of you is going to have to die
And the cost is high

The God man came
I'm trying to help 'em understand this thing
(let's get it) how we lift Him up and
Stand for His standards man
He's running this thing, and if you
Want to run with the King
Then there's going to be some
Giving up of some things
To some who ain't with the Son
It might sound like something insane
(insane)
But us who living it, we loving this thing
With the Spirit tucked in our frames
His love flowing through the
Blood in our veins
Finishing the race pays off like
We was running for change
Since we've been saved that's our steelo and
It ain't nothing to me bro
When they see me they call me
Crazy like I was Cee-Lo he humbled us
Put us under the One like we was zeros
But we don't flee, we're going
To seek to please, him
Is we going to leave? no
No we live and die for the Father
Making disciples, recycling Christ
His light is inside us, holler
We see the price that He was willing to pay
The true cost followed the Father
Even into the grave yeah
We trying to show 'em that for Christ we live
Help 'em understand for Christ we die
Man the cost is high (gotta die, baby)
You going to say your goodbyes
Because part of you is going to have to die
And the cost is high
We trying to show 'em that for Christ we live
Help 'em understand for Christ we die
Man the cost is high
(it's a price tag, baby)
You going to say your goodbyes
Because part of you is going to have to die
And the cost is high

Hahaha, yessir!
(Trip Lee: Cats need to hear this man)
You know we got to mortify
The flesh and die daily, right?
(Trip Lee: yeah, so holler at 'em, Truth)
Black tie, black suit, welcome to my funeral
29 years in this life and I gotta few to go
Long as I live I'm going to die, it's unusual
(unusual) couple ways in which I die and
I want you to know 'em
I love Sean's line, seen hot baby phat
Won't wear Sean John
Won't see that on my lady's back
No I ain't going blind
Won't stare at a ladies back
Side when she's going by, rib like baby back
Yes sir I'm going to die like 1980's rap
Older in the faith now, outgrown Baby Gap
(only by the grace of God)
But some of what I struggled with is internal
The kind of stuff that you
Only write in journals
The kind of stuff that'll injure you
That's why I got certain channels
On my television blocked
Plus I let some friends go
Got up out that fish bowl
Even though it hurt me deep inside
Man I know I gotta die
We trying to show 'em that for Christ we live
Help 'em understand for Christ we die
Man the cost is high
You going to say your goodbyes
Because part of you is going to have to die
And the cost is high
We trying to show 'em that for Christ we live
Help 'em understand for Christ we die
Man the cost is high
You going to say your goodbyes
Because part of you is going to have to die
And the cost is high (we got to talk about
The musicians and producers, here we go)

I know some dudes that are Christians
That produce for the wicked
And I know some musicians that use
Their gift in the church
But the same musicians that use
Their gift in the church
Produce and play for the wicked
But they call it work (it's a cop out)
And they try to justify and say
That it's just a job
It's the customized lie that
They use to compromise
Just adjust the knob on your radio
Here we go, another song a saint produced
Is producing lust and lies
It's another side to the coin
I know you know where I'm going
This is bigger than trying to stay employed
(it's bigger than that)
And I'm so convinced that's it's more
Cause if these same producers were writers
They wouldn't write for Playboy
Oh boy, I know I sound kinda stern
But, if they majored in communications they
Wouldn't work for Howard Stern
I know they're more concerned
About the dollars earned
Then they are God's glory
I ain't talking out of turn
When you help the same people
That's working against the Kingdom
You ain't taking it back by force
You making matters worse
And they all try to get off
By saying I ain't the star
That's like saying I ain't robbed the bank
Man I just drove the car
You ain't got to shoot the ball
To put points on the board
All you got to do is pass
Then help the other team score
So even if you on the board
You still guilty as charged on that tour
By the way God didn't open that door
We trying to show 'em that for Christ we live
Help 'em understand for Christ we die
Man the cost is high
You going to say your goodbyes
Because part of you is going to have to die
And the cost is high
We trying to show 'em that for Christ we live
Help 'em understand for Christ we die
Man the cost is high
You going to say your goodbyes
Because part of you is going to have to die
And the cost is

Jesus said if you going to follow Me
You got to die to yourself
Yeah, you know Christianity is going
To cost you something right?
It costs all of something
Sometimes, submitting to Jesus
Christ means that
You have to make financial sacrifices
You can't work everywhere you want to work
And I know IBM is a secular job and
Working at Payless is a secular job
But, I'm talking about taking jobs
That work against God's kingdom
