Lyrics Price Of Life - Derek Minor

Price Of Life

Yeah
Yeah
The young man that you shot down last week
He had his hands up, was still a threat, and that speaks
To the lens on the eyes that you look through
Yeah, you don’t see God’s image, you see a monster
I picked my son up from preschool
Him and his teacher hid in a closet, I promise
Just in case
A drill to ensure they know what to do with a live shooter
You ain’t safe in a church or a synagogue
Makes sense we built the Tower of Babel to go and kill God
So anybody can get in, .40-caliber lifted
Please invest in the vests and pray to God you don’t need it
Young man in his 20s walked in a bank
Took four souls away, ain’t even open the safe
I’m assumin' all he wanted was fame, a infamy for his name
So in blood he was willing to pay
What’s the price of a life?
Yeah
Aye, what’s the price of a life?
Yeah
Aye, what’s the price of a life?
Ooh, yeah
What’s the price of a life?
Yeah
Baby girl, I know yo' body is yours
And yo' experience and freedom, you never felt before
Who am I to tell you what to do?
I’m just tellin' you to think before you listen to dudes
Spit they game, you like, what you see in his eyes
It’s not love, it’s just lust and it’s burnin' inside
A real man would treat you like gold, he won’t leave you alone
'Cause in yo' stomach is a piece of his soul
I ain’t a judge, I’ma love you regardless
I just know Yah' made yo' body a garden
Of Eden, a cradle of lights is beautiful
So protect it from every snake that’ll try to curse you with pain
I watch moms struggle to raise their kids alone
With two men who watched her do it all on her own
I’m sure they run her nine and choices came to life
And when she got to her doctor, the thought crossed her mind
What’s the price of a life?
Yeah
What’s the price of a life?
Uh
Aye, what’s the price of a life?
Yeah
What’s the price of life?
What’s the price of a life?
