Cost U Too

Whole lot of money in this dangerous game we play

But the shine of gold chains can fade away

Stacks so high they block the sun

But the weight of it all makes you come undone

I’m a hustler trying to maintain,

Constantly watching, it’s a strategic game.

It's a lot of pain for a little gain

The ghetto glitter fades but the scars remain

You chase the dream but lose the view

A whole lot of money but it costs you too

They see the smile but not the cracks

Behind the curtain there's no turning back

The price of gold is a heavy toll

It'll steal your heart and crush your soul

I’m a hustler trying to maintain,

Constantly watching, it’s a strategic game.

It's a lot of pain for a little gain

The ghetto glitter fades but the scars remain

You chase the dream but lose the view

A whole lot of money but it costs you too

Fame's a ladder that's built on lies

You climb it high but the bottom cries

Echoes of laughter fill the void

But the emptiness can't be destroyed

I’m a hustler trying to maintain,

Constantly watching, it’s a strategic game.

It's a lot of pain for a little gain

The ghetto glitter fades but the scars remain

You chase the dream but lose the view

A whole lot of money but it costs you too
