The Four Owls - Pay The Price [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Verb T]
Now if you can't take advice, then you pay the price
Wanna be on top? Well, you better work day and night
Take your time, take control, you can seize your fate
Don't waste time on those who don't appreciate
Tryna to impress who? they don't really share your pain
Plus, it's only really worth what you're prepared to pay
Don't give your soul away, don't put a price on it
Got to be happy with the life you live, why is it
Rappers bang [?] groupies and they think they're heavy
But you're hitting chicks every other rapper hit already
Cool, but if you're sliding in them raw dog
Then you're bound to pay the price when yo dick falls off
Learn that lesson and know that you better plan
Someone can stay young live in never-neverland
Slap crooks 'round their face off then we sever hands
Pay the price or we take, and you won't get it back

[Verse 2: Fliptrix]
You can pay the price in more ways, the money act
Fuck [?], I come to stab you in that back
Sonny is that gully, take you off the map like some countries
For the right sums, some people 'round the world would do just anything
Getting disrespectful with their bodies what they're peddling
Some will find love while others only got the wedding ring
Welcoming the devil in when they're sniffing ketamine
Think it don't affect them 'til dependence brings the evidence
Benevolence is everything, not mythical like Nephalem
Always having arguments, but no one ever settles them
Caught up in the crossfire cause the methylin, now paralyzed
Drink and drive, crash and die, pay the price with their life
Think about the actions twice so the [?] satisfies
Like a [?], we spaz when you glad to pay the price
Represent the realness in my rhymes, don't try to [?]
Cause that shit will backfire like [?] drugs in [?]

[Hook: Leaf Dog (The Four Owls)]
If you wanna be a bad man or rogue (then you pay the price!)
Following dreams of fool's gold (then you pay the price!)
Try to clutch something that you can't hold (then you pay the price!
You pay the price! Then you pay the price!)
If your getting too big for your boots (then you pay the price!)
Never man up and want to tell the truth (then you pay the price!)
Always coming up with an excuse (then you pay the price!
You pay the price! Then you pay the price!)

[Verse 3: BVA]
Heads or tails, but we ain't gamblin'
Pay the entrance with these ramblings
Life's a bitch, rescue the damsel
Or lose her and start lamping
Get overgrown, start trampling
The underdogs will make you pay the cost, hold you to ransom
If you know you fronting, why you jumping?
All I'm saying is know your worth and know your function
Overestimate, leave you over before you've spoken
Then they'll let you through the door to the venue like all of your money's broken
Now watch and get your spot taken, this world, she's not patient
Kick you out like another military occupation
Chopping out your stupid statements like an operation
Holding you accountable like you're under investigation
Decapitation, came for the brain and heads
The entrance fee was giving a fuck less for the bread
Didn't bring my wallet, letting them off, feed on the [?]
Walk the tightrope between what I think and what I've said

[Verse 4: Leaf Dog]
Yo, welcome to the shop called life where everything is priced
Regrets are like receipts, you better do your numbers right
I had a customer that loved to shoot heroin
Now I can't let him in, he's in the window staring in
I kept telling him he need to reap the details
Think you're gang related tryna to work with fish scales
Struck by the money spell, giving into pressure
Till you're robbed and tied up in your flat where they left ya
My next customer was consuming with the quickness
His dad flashing cash tryna buy my whole business
The risk is trying to find a price for forgiveness
When his pops died, he couldn't live like the rich did
It's time to pack up, turn the closing sign in
The girl with the back up and the sugar left behind
Mosin', hand holding with the money on the mind
Have to tell him real love in this store, you'll never find, son

[Interlude]
Come back tomorrow, we open at 6 o'clock
(OK, I'll see you tomorrow!)

[Hook]
