The Price You Gotta Pay

(album: Bump Ahead - 1993)

I could take what I want, but I take what I need.
How can I help myself if I need everything ?
I get possession with half of the truth.
Then change my direction when the bill comes due, yeah.
Then I turn around, the man is standing at the door.
It's the price ,the price, price, the price you gotta pay
It's coming down today
At the time it seems so easy
Like any game you play
There's a price for saying maybe
The price you gotta pay
I got here with nothing
I'll leave with a lot
Come on and take a chance now baby,
Gimme what you got, yeah
A piece of the action
A slice of the pie
I hope you won't remember when it's time to testify
I turn around to look at you
You're looking back my way.
It's the price, the price, price, the price you gotta pay
It's coming down today
At the time it seems so easy
Like any game you play
There's a price for saying maybe
The price you gotta pay
Hit me !
Oh, yeah yeah
Now this is how it all adds up
Rent is due and so are you
I'm here to repossess your soul
Hey, baby, you're deep into the hole
It's the price the price you gotta pay
It's coming down today
It started out so easy like a little game
There's a price for saying maybe
The price you gotta pay
