[Intro]
Souls for sale! Souls for sale!
Souls for sale! Souls for sale!
What you need bro? I got you! I got you! Check it out!
Do you know how much your soul costs?
Awww! That’s it?
Yo I heard
Yo I heard, yo I heard, yo I heard they got souls for sale
Sign your life on the dotted line
And everything will be fine in due time
Every Black boy wants to move his momma out the hood
Work for your masters… like a good artist should
Souls for sale
Everything must go… including you
[Verse 1]
Money make the world go ‘round
We keep spending so it keeps spinning
I was slaved and then I got a whip
I’m too cheap to lease, I can at least rent it
Windows to the soul is so tinted
My sinning is soul sinning on digits, dig it?
Be willing to do dirt, either you robbing or giving
Given the circumstances, ironic we dying to make a living
Dying to be accepted, except it’s
All an illusion, blind by confusion
Feeling like a nuisance, since I got a new sense
Used to try to hang wit’ ‘em then they brought the noose in
I don’t want your two cent, they barely pay a penny for my thoughts
I’m trying to make them ends but I don’t know where to start
I just need a little space but they say that I’m a star
They told me sell my soul but I don’t know what it costs
[Interlude]
You know why they call them stars?
Because we look up to them, but you can’t reach them
No wonder why they stay high
Going once, going twice
Who wants to stay low anyway?
Sold to the man in the red
Souls for sale, I got souls for sale
I got souls for the low, whatever you need bro I got you I got you
Come on, check it out, check it out
Check it out, I brought, I brought, I got principles, loyalty
Deals on old souls, you know
I had a lot of morals left but you know I’m runnin’ out of them joints quick my boy
Yo I like mine
Can I keep this, please?
I just wanna keep mine
Why do you want mine?
Everything must go… including you
[Verse 2]
He said I can make you famous but it’s gonna cost you
Do you know what fame is, what it really costs you?
You can gain the world, don’t worry if we lost you
Find me in the art room, catch me at your law school
Tryna drive slow but you never had a fast car
Have a real good time with some bad, bad broads
Big house in the ‘burbs with a backyard
You’ll get amnesia, be forgetting that you Black dawg
Try to be yourself, where that get you, let me fix you, photoshop
Crop yo issues, [?] let me split you
Yo heart is in the beat, I hate to put a price to it
You just wanna write to it, I just want the rights to it
Change gonna change you, they say that you ain’t got sense
In this ugly world, make sure you read the fine print
All sales are final, God bless your soul
You can be rich or be happy but you can’t be both
Mmm
[Outro]
Aye bro real talk I gotta go, you know it ain’t really hot enough up here
But you know take my number hit my line when you ready
Aight you ready? Aight 666-…
You know what? Nevermind, I just [?]
Yo I heard
Yo I heard, yo I heard, yo I heard they got souls for sale
Yo I heard
Rule 4080: record company people are shady
Souls for sale! Souls for sale!
Souls for sale! Souls for sale!
What you need bro? I got you! I got you! Check it out!
Do you know how much your soul costs?
Awww! That’s it?
Yo I heard
Yo I heard, yo I heard, yo I heard they got souls for sale
