[Intro:] I think the price of fame cost to much Hey these niggas talk to much I'm ready for whatever Somebody better tell em Say I'm ready for whatever
[Verse 1:] Even tho my head in the clouds I'm planning on the pavement People walk around looking at me in amazement I play a lot of game but where I'm being I ain't playing with They so judgemental that they don't understand that If ya life is in jeopardy Everyday is you telling me You wouldn't need weaponry Just because of your felonies Consider this at least I got everybody 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 threaten me Paranoia stressing me Ain't nobody protecting me I'm dealing with the pressure from my partner dying next to me Thinking no ones arrested they coming for me eventually This all the things that I would go and do mentally This could be the reason I ignored the pennitentiary Not mentioning new orlean niggas coming in the city killing all summer long ain't no body pay attention
[Bridge:] Now is it that hard to understand if you listen Die or go to jail that's a hell of a decision But I'm wrong and I know that my excuses arent important I'm just trying to let you know that I ain't think I had a choice
[Chorus:] I had straps in my ride (ride) gotta go to prison (prison) U waiting on me to die u gone be waiting for a minute Boy I'm ready for whatever Somebody better tell em I'll be here when the smoke clear and everything settle Can't afford the price of fame cause it cost to much Plus these sucka niggas lame and they talk to much That's why I'm ready for whatever Somebody better tell em I'll be here when the smoke clear and everything settle
Forreal, Forreal, Forreal I said when everything settle Forreal, Forreal, Forreal I said when everything settle
[ T.I. Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ] [Verse 2:] I'm a man I ain't perfect I admit I'm guilty But understand feel me I will ride filthy Cause niggas out there plotting to rob me and kill me Five hundred thousand every year spent on security My future looked bright but now it getting blurry Niggas in a hurry to find me and bury me For surely god will deliver Me I'm about it I'm a fighter to the heart I'll forever be about it I'm a father to my sons asset to my community Look all that I have done my good outweigh the negativity Mentally I was focused on not letting history Repeat itself that's why heat was kept in that vacinity Guess eventually I'm gon be known but no meliciously Through all of the publicity was anyone considering My position and the logic heading my decision But they caught me with em and hauled me off to prison PERIOD.
