Flowz Dilione - 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 limit's
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 kill 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 death
When I flip it’s lights out like an opium den
Last dude who touched River
Fuckin’ opened his head
I could’ve killed him but I put
Him in a coma instead
I’m not joking but I bet that
You hope that I am well fuck 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 shit 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 drugs
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 bitch
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
