[Hook]
Candy paint, piece of chain
Money stacks, diamond ring
People paying that price of vain
Me, I just want the finer things
Haters hate, people change
Lost the family, face the pain
Before death take my breath away
I just want the finer things
[Verse 1 - Lecrae]
Look, you want a piece of chain? I want a peace of mind; I had money in the bank while pops was dying
I can get more money, can’t buy no time, huh, in a room trying not to cry
Spent quality time so I’m good; could’ve been out waxing that hood
On my foreign car, like some sort of star instead of giving my time like I should, huh
You wanna know what’s cool? A daddy dropping his kids off at school
And when his kids is grown with kids of they own and say “my daddy ain’t raise no fool”
Sometimes I sit on a plane full of pain, care less about a Grammy or the fame
I just want to see my kids change and give up my art for their heart, that’s gain
Mayne, so tell me what you makin’: money or a difference?
You was made for that or get paid for that, so what’s your excuse and your mission?
When nobody remembers my name, or the clothes I wore to that thing
I still rest in peace with my sanity for them lives I got to help change … finer things
[Hook]
Candy paint, piece of chain
Money stacks, diamond ring
People paying that price of vain
Me, I just want the finer things
Haters hate, people change
Lost the family, face the pain
Before death take my breath away
I just want the finer things
[Verse 2 - Tedashii]
Okay, I been there, done it too; seen it all, no birthday suit
Red carpet in my Armani suit, sitting VIP with your favorite group
Bad chicks, actress, R&B diva catch a fever while I’m leaving out the back quick
Now, tell me that wouldn’t boost your arrogance … exactly
From Dallas to a palace; in Dubai, to the Maasai tactics
In Africa, I’m not bragging, just explaining that I ain’t lying when I’m saying that I’ve had it all
Dawg, enough bucks under my mattress to buy what I want
No more lifting like it’s practice, nope, that’s just racks on racks and bracket
Fast life, race with me; gassed right? This pace isn’t
That life, we should stay living, but to make it last, we chase feelings
I did that, but I ain’t get jack, just enough for the bluff so I can try to help you not get jacked
And man that’s truth, so get back, ‘cause they hit back … let me help you
[Hook]
Candy paint, piece of chain
Money stacks, diamond ring
People paying that price of vain
Me, I just want the finer things
Haters hate, people change
Lost the family, face the pain
Before death take my breath away
I just want the finer things
