Price Of Life - Derek Minor

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?
