Lyrics
The Price of the Ticket
Verse 1
Here lies the tail of two alluding worlds: One is BEING, one is, you do as you are told Know the roads to toe Know your role
And it’s easy you say, So live your life to this
Chorus
Oh God, the price, the price, the price of the ticket
Oh no, no no the toll of these dreams
Verse 2
Since I recall I never feel at aligned
Have I seen it, do I know The smell of rhino? Or the baobab shade? I’ve paid the price
Mid section
( JAMES BALDWIN )
All the pieces fall in situ And a vision..
Chorus
Oh god the price, the price
The price of the ticket
Oh no, no no the toll of these dreams
I’ve paid. I’ve paid
Coz that’s what destiny means to me
That’s what destiny means to me
And boy, do you know the price I’ve paid??
And what of the plans we made babe?
(I had plans with my boy, goals with my boy)
Oh baby…
