Price Tag Lyrics

[Hook: Trip Lee]
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

[Verse 1: Trip Lee]
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

[Hook: Trip Lee]
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

[Verse 2: Da' T.R.U.T.H.]
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

[Hook: Trip Lee]
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)

[Verse 3: Da' T.R.U.T.H.]
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

[Hook: Trip Lee]
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

[Outro: Da' T.R.U.T.H.]
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
