Yeah: fake hair, fake nails, fake pearls,
Call herself a Barbie wanna be a fake girl.
She can't even see she Stevie Wonder at night time,

Too busy trying to get them Red Bottoms the right size.
Tell her that you love her and she just gon' call you liar:
"Whatever you don't really love me, you just want get me to lie!"

On her back, but the fact is she deal with fools,
That see women as garden tools, never treated her cool
She sick of suckers and brothers always making her sick,

So she gave upon them, now she just attracted to chicks,
But she never seen a man when his soul is clean,
He fighting to be whatever God did made him to be.

Don't wanna manipulate her, date her, lay her then shake her,
Wanna give his life to her, following his Creator.
Maybe she gon' see he ain't crazy,

And start wondering, "God? What's the reason you made me?"
Baby-it ain't to be psychically attractive,
Just so you can trap and capture,

A man and be superficially happy,
Nah, you worth more than that, yeah-


Beautiful lies, yeah, I know they ain't right
But I bought it.
But that's the price of life.

Beautiful lies yeah,
That's the price of life
Beautiful lies, yeah, I know they ain't right

But I bought it.
But that's the price of life


Yeah, look, I wanted a girl that was super official,
I found my standard superficial.
Cause behind the glamour was some super issues,

And ain't trying to shoot to diss you, I'm just sayin.
Everybody gotta look fly, call them planes,
And you don't wanna step outside, looking plain.

They call it running game, everybody playin,
Dang, that's Trinity with the word play.
Scoring made you make up your mind,

Coach bags made you feel first class this whole time,
And them Nike kicks running your life.
Your ambition been driven by the cars that you like.

I know some girls that's faster than a Tech-9,
Self esteem as low as they neck line.
Cause they don't know whose image they reflect,

Went to bed to find love, woke up with regrets.
This is a matter of the heart kid,
Give me a second, let me show you:

If you own something you can't depart with,
You probably don't own it, it own you.
Man: tell me, what's the price of life?

Too much to find peace, so what's your release?
Yeah, it's much more believe me,
Than living for the things that you're leaving.

Preach

Beautiful lies, yeah, I know they ain't right

But I bought it
But that's the price of life
Beautiful lies yeah,

That's the price of life
Beautiful lies, yeah, I know they ain't right
But I bought it

But that's the price of life

She camouflage her insecurity in Jimmie Choos,

High heels, but the mountain top she'll never choose,
She'll settle for a dude and precious metals,
A slave to his money, by his chains you can tell it.

Pays to embellish that life that you really live,
Them nice clothes, cover up how you really feel.
When your eyeliner off and you've been revealed,

Trapped in a prison with multiple life sentences.
55 life times infinity,
You don't wanna pray, your middle fingers to Divinity.

You ever stop and think about what the incentive is?
Living for they approval has got its benefits.
They special cause they don't live like you,
But they die and they blood bleeds red like you,
Truth is they depressed, taking meds like you,

They ain't living it up, they dead like you.
But you can live.
[uhn]
If you know the price of life.


Beautiful lies, yeah, I know they ain't right
But I bought it.
