SELLOUT

Yea... Uh 1, 2
I open the blinders and let the sun through, I'm no slouch
Secured spot when we rolling out
Burn through the whole ounce, bear witness
I frame the rare pictures, I've obtained the clear victor
Many a night, sip Hendog to get me right, praying what I do won't give me life
Short lived, I used to puff on Newport cigs
Asian braids, short ribs, the black sheep
I found a diamond in the trash heap
And obtained the company that cash keep
Garner attention, more than an honourable mention
I'm the kettle called black by the pot in the kitchen
What a hypocrite
So I'm reppin' the considerate
Peace to affiliates of mine, I'm on my grind
If you can relate then you earn your plate
In the game where it's more than your words at stake
Now sit back and watch your boy be great
And I will never sellout, unless it's shows
With fans screaming front row, some hate your soul
But they front though, that's why I keep me one close
And turn them into ghosts... Uh I'll never sellout

So get your fist yea and pump it in the air now
Promise yourself that you'll never be a sellout
You'll probably never catch me walking with my head down
Cos I know man I'll never be a sellout
Never would I be, never would I be a... Sellout
Never could I be, never could I be a... Sellout
Never will I be, never will I be a... Sellout
Never be a sellout, nah never be a sellout

Cos I don't care 'bout them flashing cannons, the lights the camera action
I spit like christ with passion, kick facts and this ain't acting
Ain't bout that bragging, I'm trapping, I'm stacking cash big
The chatting flash whips or brandish with them brands and fashion
It's madness... Programmed to think that's attractive
That's what this life's all about, like we have to have it
Living in a world proliferated with sin
We intake, reciprocate and start integrating with it
But I don't play that, so could say that I'm never gonna get in
Don't demonstrate many sin, won't resonate with the kids
Man I set it straight, try educate and elevate when I spit
With some lines I punch mine, a heavyweight with this here
But ain't playing no contender, won't pretend I want the throne or title
And I ain't begging for no help, I stand alone like Eiffel
I can't do bone and idle, ain't no secret like opened file
Yes I know I'm chosen, but I ain't the golden child
I'm not the 'one' so don't send Eddie to get me
I'm aware of Murphys law, don't stress just let me
Learn on the job, a goodfella like Pesci
Just don't do me wrong like Pistone did Lefty
Cos I plan to inspire change, takes us to higher plain
I'll play entire game and lift the souls like a choir came
Acquired fame, ain't even one of the goals
Shit gave love to my soul, so still gold if none of 'em sold

So get your fist yea and pump it in the air now
Promise yourself that you'll never be a sellout
You'll probably never catch me walking with my head down
Cos I know man I'll never be a sellout
Never would I be, never would I be a... Sellout
Never could I be, never could I be a... Sellout
Never will I be, never will I be a... Sellout
Never be a sellout, nah never be a sellout

Nah
It's B-Lash on the beat
Guilty Simpson
And The Inglorious Poet
Don't ever be afraid to be who you really are man
And don't ever let that currency compromise your character
