The Price of Attention

Intro

Yeah

Yeah, yeah

Ayy, look

Uh

You know what it is

Yeah

Chorus

Yeah, the whole city know my name now (Name now)

Everybody wanna come around now (Around now)

Got a couple bad ones on the way down (Way down)

Funny how they love you when you up now (Up now)

I ain't even gotta try, they come through

She already knows what I'm into

Said she wants the truth, well, here's the issue

I got too much to lose and too much to get into

Yeah, she knows about the lifestyle (Lifestyle)

Says she wants a piece of my time (My time)

She'll be calling me again by midnight

Might be the one thing I regret this time

Verse 1

Ayy, they know me too well, too well

Read my face like a book, can't tell

If it's love or the life I sell

Either way, I know that sh*t too well

Money made it easier, I won't lie

Funny how the same ones switch sides

Everybody wanna know what's mine

But nobody ever asks if I'm fine

I don't gotta spell it out

They can see what I'm about

New car, same old problems

Different view, same damn doubts

You see the shine, you don't see the mileage

Everybody loves you when you're living lavish

Funny how the love comes with an address

Everybody's real when there's something to get

I ain't saying that I'm innocent

I got my flaws, I ain't hiding it

You want the truth? I can give you that

But don't expect me to dress it up

Chorus

Yeah, the whole city know my name now (Name now)

Everybody wanna come around now (Around now)

Got a couple bad ones on the way down (Way down)

Funny how they love you when you up now (Up now)

I ain't even gotta try, they come through

She already knows what I'm into

Said she wants the truth, well, here's the issue

I got too much to lose and too much to get into

Yeah, she knows about the lifestyle (Lifestyle)

Says she wants a piece of my time (My time)

She'll be calling me again by midnight

Might be the one thing I regret this time

Verse 2

Ayy, I got 'em coming back, back

She keeps saying that I'm bad, bad

Says she hates the way I act

But she still keeps calling back

She wants reassurance, I give her silence

Says I'm hard to read, I call it privacy

Got a couple names lighting up my phone

But somehow every night still feels like I'm alone

F*ck what they say, I know what the price is

Everybody wants a taste of the life I live

She wants the truth, but the truth ain't pretty

Can't build something real when you're never in it

Too many options, too little patience

Too many faces, not enough conversations

She wants commitment, I want the moment

Can't call it love if I never show it

And I know there's plenty more out there

But that don't mean that I don't care

You can't buy trust with a designer pair

And money can't replace who's really there

Bridge

Maybe I'm caught up in the attention

Maybe I confuse the love with affection

Everybody wants a little connection

But nobody talks about the consequences

Yeah, I know, yeah, I know

I made my bed, now I sleep alone

All these people, all these places

Still can't find what I've been chasing

Final Chorus

Yeah, the whole city know my name now (Name now)

Everybody wanna come around now (Around now)

Got a couple bad ones on the way down (Way down)

Funny how they love you when you up now (Up now)

I ain't even gotta try, they come through

She already knows what I'm into

Said she wants the truth, well, here's the issue

I got too much to lose and too much to get into

Yeah, she knows about the lifestyle (Lifestyle)

Says she wants a piece of my time (My time)

She'll be calling me again by midnight

Might be the one thing I regret this time

Outro

Yeah

Funny how the tables turn

Everybody wants a piece

But nobody wants the truth

Yeah

That's the price of attention

Ayy
