[Chorus One: Bernz & Wrekonize]
All day workin for an overnight success
Short days, long nights, livin on the edge
This is somethin here that you wouldn't wanna miss
Better fuck with me now cause after this
The price is goin up
Yeah, the price is goin up
The price is goin up
Better fuck with me now cause after this
Yeah, the price is goin up up up up up
The price is goin up up up up up
The price is goin up up up up up
The price is goin up up up up up
Let's get it

[Bernz]
Yeah, uh-huh, that's right

Underestimated, overlooked and underappreciated
I was in the cut blazin, gettin high off music I was makin
Never cared much for trophy placement, only if the soul been out the basement
Wastin space time and all my patience 'til I got a call to make my own creations
Had a larger conversation, "Are you real or are you fakin?
Do you really hear what we been makin? Or are you weirded out by greatness?"
Countin sheep's my occupation, can you see my dissertation?
'Til I be yo' overnight sensation, now wake yo' ass up and let's ride, ride, ride
Get inside hoe I drive, don't know where it's alright
Trust in us you'll be fine, I can feel it's my time, engine tuned in its prime
Chasin hits my whole life, I'm obsessed and that's fine, when you sleep I'm alive
And this time will be the last time I give out free samples of the pie

[Chorus Two: Bernz & Wrekonize]
All day workin for an overnight success
Short days, long nights, livin on the edge
This is somethin here that you wouldn't wanna miss
Better fuck with me now cause after this
The price is goin up up up up up
The price is goin up up up up up
The price is goin up up up up up
The price is goin up up up up up
Let's get it

[Wrekonize]
And it goes up up up up up
Everybody wanna leave us in the cut cut cut cut cut
But we elite and we hit 'em in the gut gut gut gut gut
Fuckin life until I finally get my nut nut nut nut nut
Nuttin breaks a man down like a little bit of broken pride
I got a house full of friends and smoke inside
We don't worry about the day or the week, ya dig?
When you vibe so high time supposed to fly
If you need me, come try climbin the ceiling
I could shit on folks who miss the boat with the pretense
No joke, no cloaks, no defense
Makes me feel like I've been cuffed in the precinct
But I been steadily
makin climbs up high to the pedigree
Now these fools really wanna try gettin me
Like I ain't been here kickin melodies
All up in the middle like a centerpiece
All my friends are loud gettin heavily
You got screws like Ebenezer Japenese
and didn't even know 'til your whole damn show was in jeopardy

[Chorus Two]

[Tech N9ne]
Forever did a verse for 10 K
But now that is old as Bengay
15 K is what you men pay
if you want the hip-hop from a chopper sensei
That style of music really you gotta rack yo' brain
Now when they want it it's 20 racks broke game
When I rap so strange I'ma stack mo' change
And it really ain't even enough of that cocaine
Ever since "Questions"
'98, my people want a verse, they want aggression
Choppin sessions, and I made a lot of good impressions
Still they want the N9ne in '1-7
But, I'm gettin tired of the challenge that chase me
Escape me with the flow and they be tryna erase me
They crazy, because I leave 'em achy-breaky
When Nina be off safety, want it you gotta pay me
Cause it take all my time
This mathematics create all my rhymes
Ask anybody that's technical with the flow spectacle
We kill the rest and they lines; vegetables
That's why they have seven songs in one day
Tech is a jet, I get to gassin up on the runway
Some be sayin the price scorchin 'em like a sunray
But everyone pay 20 K for the gun play

[Chorus One]
