“Price is Right” samples the main theme from the popular TV game show The Price Is Right. A-1 compares the show to his life. The moment when players from the audience are called onto the stage to be able to win prizes is the analogy to him breaking through in the rap game. It just needs his name to...
[Verse 1]
See, I got dreams and I'm really tryna live those
So I'm going through life with my lids closed
Tryna show my true life with a pencil
And a pad, but if I had a nickel
For every time that I rhyme with a sick flow
Or someone tell me "Man you gonna be big bro"
I'll buy a big boat, and a mink coat
Or a school in Africa where the kids don't
Have access, like the rich folks
And my address, will be a ZIP code
That's a big mansion if you didn't know
But I never had shit and I still don't
So my point is, that I've been told
Hella times that I really shoulda been blow
And though I haven't, it's okay for now
I'm in the stands 'til the man say "Come on down"
[Hook]
Like A-1 it's your night tonight
You can shine real bright if the price is right
I'ma live my dream, I've waited a long while
For them to call my name and say "Come on down"
I don't know if I'ma win the showcase but I better 'cause
I ain't tryna sit up in the audience forever so
So, if it's all the same
I'ma chill right here 'til they call my name
[Verse 2]
In my own mind I'm a king like cash is
But I ain't even got a king size mattress
Shit I ain't even got a small size mattress
Sometimes it feel like I'm sleepin' on a cactus
On the road couch surfin' but the fact is
I'm tryna travel the globe without a atlas
So 'til I hit that gold it's only practice
For when I reach the masses but in the meantime my back is
Hurtin' like a bitch from these floors I sleep on
Fuck that, do a yoga stretch and keep going
'Cause the pain that's a part of the pursuit
I'm nothin' without hunger and I'm dissing for the youth
They fight over the money but I fight over the truth
So, when I spit an angel sittin' right over the booth
I'm blessed, but I could use a couple of thou
So I ain't mad if the man say "Come on down"
[Hook]
Like A-1 it's your night tonight
You can shine real bright if the price is right
I'ma live my dream, I've waited a long while
For them to call my name and say "Come on down"
I don't know if I'ma win the showcase but I better 'cause
I ain't tryna sit up in the audience forever so
So, if it's all the same
I'ma chill right here 'til they call my name
[Outro]
Like A-1, A-1, A-1, A-1, A-1
"A1 from San Francisco, you are the next player on The Price Is Right, come on down"
Alright
Yes
I can't wait
