Price Tag (feat. B.o.B)

Okay, Coconut Man
Moonhead and Pea
You ready?

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
Got shades on your eyes
And your heels so high
That you can't even have a good time

Everybody look to their left
Everybody look to their right
Can you feel that? Yeah
We're paying with love tonight

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, cha-ching, cha-ching
Ain't about the, yeah, ba-bling, ba-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

Okay, 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

Everybody look to their left (to their left)
Everybody look to their right (to their right)
Can you feel that? Yeah
We're paying with love tonight

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, cha-ching, cha-ching
Ain't about the, yeah, ba-bling, ba-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

Yeah, yeah, well
Keep the price tag and take the cash back
Just give me six strings (six strings)
And a half-stack (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 thirty seconds, I'm leaving to Mars
Yeah, we leaping 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 gon' stumble and fall, never, nah
Waiting to see this in the sign of defeat, uh-uh
So we gon' keep everyone moving their feet
So bring back the beat and then everyone sing
It's not about the money

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, cha-ching, cha-ching
Ain't about the, yeah, ba-bling, ba-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
(No, I don't, we don't need it)
We just wanna make the world dance
(Dance, dance your ass off)
Forget about the price tag (ah, ah)

Ain't about the, yeah-yeah, cha-ching, cha-ching
Ain't about the, woo, ba-bling, ba-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Forget about the price tag

A Dança Vale Mais Que o Dinheiro: Analisando Price Tag de Jessie J

A música 'Price Tag', interpretada pela cantora britânica Jessie J e com participação do rapper americano B.o.B, é um hino pop que critica a sociedade consumista e a obsessão por dinheiro. Lançada em 2011, a canção se tornou um sucesso mundial, não apenas por seu ritmo contagiante, mas também por sua mensagem poderosa e atual.

No cerne da letra, Jessie J questiona a importância excessiva dada ao dinheiro e aos bens materiais, sugerindo que esses não são os verdadeiros caminhos para a felicidade. A artista convida o ouvinte a refletir sobre como a sociedade moderna muitas vezes coloca o lucro acima da verdade e da autenticidade. Com frases como 'Seems like everybody's got a price' e 'Money can't buy us happiness', ela destaca a ironia de um mundo onde tudo parece ter um preço, mas onde o dinheiro não é capaz de comprar a verdadeira satisfação.

A música também faz um apelo nostálgico para um tempo em que a música unia as pessoas, em contraste com a cultura atual que, segundo a cantora, é marcada por 'low blows and video hoes'. A participação de B.o.B reforça essa mensagem com versos que falam sobre fazer música pelo amor à arte, e não pelo potencial de ganho financeiro. 'Price Tag' é um lembrete de que, em um mundo obcecado por riqueza e status, há coisas mais valiosas, como a alegria de dançar e compartilhar momentos genuínos, que não têm preço.
