Coco Bara - The Price of Good Intentions (Official Lyric Video)

They always tell you to be a good person, to give without asking for anything in return, but they never warn you about the cost. "The Price of Good Intentions" is an emotional, stripped-down ballad for anyone who has watched their kindness get mistaken for weakness.

It explores the painful reality of building people up from nothing and fighting in their corner, only to be abandoned the moment they find their own strength. Stripping back the aggression for a somber, reflective piano and clean hip-hop groove, this song captures the sting of betrayal while making a quiet vow: no matter how cold the world gets, they won't kill the good inside of you. [Lyrics] They always tell you to be a good person. To help others... to give without asking for anything back. But they never warn you about the cost. The price you pay... for having a good heart. Yeah, I opened up my home, I gave 'em my last dime, I was stayin' up all night, just to give 'em my own time. I was fightin' in their corner, I was standin' in their fire, I was tryin' to be the proof to take 'em one step higher. I would listen to their stories, I would wipe away their tears, I would stand against their demons and I'd conquer all their fears. I would build 'em up from nothing, from the dirt and from the dust, 'Cause I'm the kinda person that was programmed just to trust. And then they got what they were needin', and they started gettin' strong, And that's the very moment that it all started goin' wrong. They forgot about the struggle, they forgot about the pain, And they left me all alone to stand outside in my own rain... again. 'Cause this is the price of good intentions, the cost of a kind heart, You give away your pieces 'til you fall completely apart! And they'll take your love for weakness, they'll see your trust as blind, They're the ones who get ahead, and you're the one who's left behind! Yeah, this is the price of being honest in a world that's full of lies, You can see the disappointment when you look into my eyes! And now they're doin' better and they're standin' in the sun, They're a curated perfect picture of a battle that was won. But they don't ever mention who was with 'em in the trenches, Who was pullin' 'em from darkness, who was mendin' all the fences. I see 'em in their new cars and I hear 'em on the phone, And they're talkin' like they did it, like they made it on their own. It's a bitter pill to swallow, it's a cold and lonely truth, They just used me as a ladder, stole the kindness from my youth. 'Cause this is the price of good intentions, the cost of a kind heart! You give away your pieces 'til you fall completely apart! And they'll take your love for weakness, they'll see your trust as blind! They're the ones who get ahead, and you're the one who's left behind! Yeah, this is the price of being honest in a world that's full of lies! You can see the disappointment when you look into my eyes! I'm still here fighting, I'm still trying to be good, But a part of me is broken, and misunderstood. But I look back at the person that I know I used to be... And I won't let them kill the good that's still inside of me! So you just keep on giving. You just keep on trying. The world needs it. Even if... they don't deserve it. (Ooooh, they don't deserve it...) "A somber and reflective blend of folk pop, ballad, and clean hip-hop. Built on an emotional acoustic piano chord progression, subtle atmospheric strings, and a steady mid-tempo beat. Featuring a conversational storytelling rap delivery transitioning into a raw, soulful, and gritty male vocal performance. Lyrically focused on the emotional cost of kindness, betrayal, being taken for granted, and holding onto your humanity in a selfish world." #CocoBara #mrcocobara #ThePriceOfGoodIntentions #FolkPop #AcousticHipHop #StorytellingRap #PainMusic #MentalHealthAwareness #IndependentArtist #RealRap
