Sell My Soul

The price of fame is steep, ain't down for the climb

You want me on my knees sellin' my dreams for dimes

Not gonna trade my soul, just to get a little check

I'd rather die broke than lose my self-respect

You can flash your money, but that paper don't define

Who I am, what I am, or how high I'll climb

You think I'm gonna sellout for a Benz and a deal

I can tell the difference, between the fake, and the real

Succeed or fail, I'm the one who calls the shots

I'll take the long road, keeping all that I've got

No shortcuts, no compromise, in dealing with my name

If I win, if I lose, I'll still be in the game

Not gonna sell my soul, for a couple of stacks

I'd rather walk alone than carry that on my back

I'm gonna be on the rise, until the deed is done

I'll make it on my own until the race is won

Not gonna sell my soul, for a couple of stacks

I'd rather walk alone than carry that on my back

I'm gonna be on the rise, until the deed is done

I'll make it on my own until the race is won

I gotta play the game, but I don't play nice

I ain't for sale, you can't name a price

You want my masters? You can dream on that

I own my power, track by track

Not gonna sell my soul, for a couple of stacks

I'd rather walk alone than carry that on my back

I'm gonna be on the rise, until the deed is done

I'll make it on my own until the race is won

Y'all want my blood, my sweat, my soul

I ain't here to play your game, I'm in control

You think that I'm blind, to the lies that you sellin'

I see the chains you're hidin', you know I'm rebellin'

I'd rather stand tall, on my truth and my grit

Than sell out my soul, for some counterfeit

You can flash your cash, but I just won't break

I'd rather stand firm, than make that mistake

You can dress it all up, in fame and gold

But I ain't nobody's puppet, I can't be controlled

I'll walk away, before I ever fold

You can keep your world, I will build my own
