[Intro]

Shit, ever since I got money

I ain't been happy like I used to

They say, "You got pay the cost to be a boss"

Check this

When you the nigga with the money

Somebody go to jail, you gotta pay they bail

Somebody die, they gon' turn to you for the funeral

But I just be thinking like, "When I'm gon' be able to turn to somebody, shit"

Bosses got feelings too

I done did shit for niggas a thousand times

Told 'em, "No" one time and watch 'em talk about me crazy, run and bite my back out

But I still stood tall



[Chorus]

Uh, when you sitting at the top and you think you seen it all

Caught up with your dreams with nobody else to call

With tears up on my face, 'cause I know I'm gon' be straight

Had to cut a couple homies, had to learn from my mistakes

This the price of being great, oh, this the price of being great

They hate you when you're winning but they love you when you're break

This the price of being great, this the price of being great

Oh, this the price of being great, they hate you when you're winning

But they love it when you when you break, this the price of being great



[Verse 1]

This the price of having money and the price of being great

Had to cut a couple homies, never heard them tell me thanks

I've been washing all my problems with these percs and all this drank

All that shit just made me tank, had me drawn let me paint

4 in the morning 88, graveyard shiftin' it

A dollar to my name and I remembered it

A nigga said I owe 'em, how? that shit the sound ridiculous

Tell a nigga "No", and they gon' show you who they really is

Trappin' since little kid, did a little bid

But I bounced back like the bullet did when it ricocheted, hit the little kid

This what it is, when the ice cream truck come through

Ain't have a dollar, that shit just made me to a boss, word to my father, woah



[Chorus]

Uh, when you sitting at the top and you think you seen it all

Caught up with your dreams with nobody else to call

With tears up on my face, 'cause I know I'm gon' be straight

Had to cut a couple homies, had to learn from my mistakes

This the price of being great, oh, this the price of being great

They hate you when you're winning but they love you when you're break

This the price of being great, this the price of being great

Oh, this the price of being great, they hate you when you're winning

But they love it when you when you break, this the price of being great



[Verse 2]

Yeah, ain't no price on the money, ain't no price in the Lord

I got outta the system, I jumped right on the Forbes

When I got out the ghetto, I jumped right on the tour

When I stunt on that Instagram, I'm just showing them more

I'm just showing them better how to make it through any weather

Back when I said I would make it they was telling me never

Only get one chance better take it, only one shot, boy, you better

How you survive in the jungle, he be movin' so clever

I'm talkin' Tony Baretta to make it back to my son

Talkin' crab in the barrel, they pull you back where I'm from

That's why we loadin' extendos up in the back of the gun

Posted up on that corner see the paddy wagon, we run, whoa



[Chorus]

Uh, when you sitting at the top and you think you seen it all

Caught up with your dreams with nobody else to call

With tears up on my face, 'cause I know I'm gon' be straight

Had to cut a couple homies, had to learn from my mistakes

This the price of being great, oh, this the price of being great

They hate you when you're winning but they love you when you're break

This the price of being great, this the price of being great

Oh, this the price of being great, they hate you when you're winning

But they love it when you when you break, this the price of being great
