You seek help or plain advice
Be ready to pay the price
It may seem all helpful and nice
Be sure, there’s a hidden price

Have an idea? roll the dice
You’ll get sponsored with a cut in the slice
This is no entrepreneurial paradise
You simply have to pay the price

An employee’s loyalty comes at a price
His/Her disgruntled exit comes at a price
Respect comes at a price
And the lack of it also comes at a price

Acknowledge it and pay the price
Else the burden could be thrice the size
Now is the time, for your health, cut the rice
OR later, you will pay the price

Someone’s gotta pay the price
Read it once or read it twice
Me or you have got to pay the price
And that my friend is no surprise
