Still on @jaynie's #trackoftheday challenge. I am trying to remember some old songs that I picked an interest in their lyrics back in the day. I really like this song. It's no longer news that i always pick my music based on lyrics, beat; rhythm and rhymes.
I am very particular about words, because they have a way they get to you and speak to you, so I am always very careful with the kind of music I listen to or I feed myself with. Been a long time I listened to this song though, but I love deliveries when it comes to music. I only need one thing to strike me in a music and that is what I will choose to focus on.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did too.
I didn't write the lyrics, as I always say. I got it here.
Enjoy the video:
Jessie J Lyrics
"Price Tag"
(feat. B.o.B)
[Jessie J]
Okay, Coconut man, Moon Head and Pea
You ready?
Seems like everybody's got a price,
I wonder how they sleep at night
When the sale comes first
And the truth comes second.
Just stop for a minute and smile
Why is everybody so serious?
Acting so damn mysterious?
Got your shades on your eyes
And your heels so high
That you can't even have a good time
[Pre-chorus:]
Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right
Can you feel that (yeah)
We're paying with love tonight?
[Chorus:]
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the (uh) ch-ch-ching ch-ching
Ain't about the (yeah) bl-bling-bl-bling
Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the price tag (OK)
[Jessie J]
We need to take it back in time,
When music made us all unite!
And it wasn't low blows and video hoes,
Am I the only one getting tired?
Why is everybody so obsessed?
Money can't buy us happiness
Can we all slow down and enjoy right now?
Guarantee we'll be feeling alright
[Pre-chorus:]
Everybody look to their left (to their left)
Everybody look to their right (to their right)
Can you feel that (yeah)
We're paying with love tonight?
[Chorus:]
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the (uh) ch-ch-ching ch-ching
Ain't about the (yeah) bl-bling-bl-bling
Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the price tag
[B.o.B]
Yeah, yeah
Well, keep the price tag
And take the cash back
Just give me six strings and a half stack
And you can, can keep the cars
Leave me the garage
And all I, yes, all I need
Are keys and guitars
And guess what? In 30 seconds
I'm leaving to Mars
Yeah, we leaping across
These undefeatable odds
It's like this, man
You can't put a price on a life
We do this for the love
So we fight and sacrifice
Every night
So we ain't gon' stumble and fall
Never
Waiting to see or send a sign of defeat
Uh uh
So we gonna keep everyone
Moving their feet
So bring back the beat
And then everyone sing
It's not about the money
[Chorus 2x]
[Jessie J ‒ Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Oh-oh
Forget about the price tag, yeah
