Pay The Price

Oh, you thought I disappeared?

Cute.

I was just upgrading.

Walk in slow, all eyes on me

Diamonds dripping like a fantasy

They talk loud when I’m not around

But they get quiet when I shut it down

Had my name all over your conversation

Now I’m the headline, congratulations

Tried to play me like a little game

Now everybody gonna know my name

I don’t chase, I attract

I don’t beg, I attack

Had to lose the old version of me

Just to bring the savage back

Pay the price, pay the price

You don’t get this kind of paradise

I’m too rare, I’m too high

You can’t afford what you can’t buy

Pay the price, say my name

Everybody wants a piece of fame

I’m the storm, I’m the night

Cross my heart, better pay the price

Run it up, run it up

I want everything

Level up, level up

Watch me take the scene

Run it up, run it up

Built my own empire

You threw sparks at a queen

Now I’m breathing fire

Black shades hiding my intentions

New me causing new obsessions

You were sleeping, I was plotting

Now my phone won’t stop from calling

I don’t need revenge, I’m the evidence

Turned my pain into elegance

Every scar is expensive now

Look who’s laughing from the penthouse

I don’t fold, I don’t crack

I don’t live in the past

Had to burn the whole kingdom down

Just to build it back

Pay the price, pay the price

You don’t get this kind of paradise

I’m too rare, I’m too high

You can’t afford what you can’t buy

Pay the price, say my name

Everybody wants a piece of fame

I’m the storm, I’m the night

Cross my heart, better pay the price

Funny how they love you

When they see you winning

Funny how they come back

When they see you’re different

I remember everything

Every little lie

Now I smile from the throne

While they wonder why

PAY THE PRICE

Look at me, I came alive

No more fear, no disguise

I became my own design

Pay the price, say my name

Nothing about me stayed the same

I’m the storm, I’m the night

Crown is heavy — fits just right

Told you…

I wasn’t finished.
