SixOY - Price Tag (Part 1)
Remain calm... Welcome to the culture... #pricetag #remaincalm #sixoy They say the dream is a number in a bank account Sell your soul, sign the paper, let the cash amount Clock is ticking while your spirit slowly bleeding out Gold chains hide the cage that you’re living in now Rich men smiling while they tighten every chain Sell you comfort, sell you fear, sell you dopamine pain Politicians in a suit playing corporate games While the world keeps spinning like a slot machine lane They print the money, then they tell you what it's worth Build a pyramid and make you fight for dirt Everybody chasing pieces of a paper crown While the kings of the system never touch the ground Everybody flexing but they drowning in debt Credit card kingdoms built on digital threats Nine to five prisons with fluorescent regret Dreams getting smaller while the profits get fat Influencers selling you a life you can't buy Filters on the truth with a capitalist lie Everybody screaming that they're "winning the race" But nobody knows where the hell is the place The algorithm feeds you envy and greed Buy another product just to plant another seed You’re a worker, you're a buyer, you're a number to the feed But the owners of the system never bleed Tell me what a life costs Tell me what a soul's worth Every single dollar Is another small curse We are the price tag Humans in a cash bag Digging our own graves Under gold and contracts We are the price tag Selling out the future Blood on every bank note Welcome to the culture...
