PRICE TAG

Jessie J ft. B.oB

[Jessie J]
Seems like everybody's got a price,
I wonder how they sleep at night.
When the sale comes first,
And the truth comes second,
Just stop for a minute and smile

Why is everybody so serious?

Acting so damn mysterious?
You got your shades on your eyes
And your heels so high
That you can't even have a good time.

[Pre-chorus:]
Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right (uh)
Can you feel that (yeah)
We'll pay them with love tonight...

[Chorus:]
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag

Ain't about the (uh) Chi-Chang Chi-Chang.

Ain't about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag.

[Jessie J]
We need to take it back in time,
When music made us all UNITE!
And it wasn't low blows and video Hoes,
Am I the only one getting... tired?

Why is everybody so obsessed?

Money can't buy us happiness
Can we all slow down and enjoy right now
Guarantee we'll be feeling alright

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

[B.o.B]
Yeah yeah
Well, keep the price tag
 And take the cash back
Just give me six strings, and a half stack
And you can, can keep the cars
Leave me the garage
And all I, yes all I need
Are keys and guitars
And guess what, in 30 seconds
I'm leaving to Mars
Yeah we leaving across
These undefeatable odds
It's like this man
You can't put a price on a life
We do this for the love
So we fight and sacrifice
Every night
So we ain't gonna stumble and fall
Never
Waiting to see a sign of defeat
Uh uh
So we gonna keep everyone
Moving their feet
So bring back the beat
And then everyone sing
It's not about the money

[Chorus x2]

[Jessie J ‒ Outro]
Yeah yeah
Oh-oh
Forget about the price tag

a. Perspective is used? 3rd

b. To whom this song is?
For all listeners
c. What is the social function?
What do you think the view currently most followed by people around the world? Of
course, it's capitalism where every minute and everything are measured with money.
You will do something, which is perhaps you need so much, if there is money you can
get. Yes, money is the general motivation of modern people in doing anything. This song
is opened with the facts above. "Seem like everybody's got a price," so Jessie J sings. As
if everybody only cares about money. How can they live comfortably if they focus on
getting profit and not prioritizing the truth. So, this first verse is closed with Jessie's
suggestion to relax, to smile for a while.
 In the second verse, Jessie questions people's motives who tend to act misteriously. Just
like politicians whose moves can seem so confusing to common people. Such people, in
Jessie's view, are so serious in living their life that they 'got shades on their eyes' and
therefore they can't have a good time.
Contrary to such people, Jessie decides not to measure anything with money. Even, not
money which she is looking for. She just want to make the world a better place. She 'will
pay them with love". Then, she suggests people to forget about the money because it
'can't buy us happiness'. What people need to be happy, she continues, is to 'slow down
and enjoy right now'. In the verse section sung by BoB, it's again emphasized that it's
love (and music) which can make us happy and make the world a better place.
