lyrics

SOUL
Chourus:
You must be buggin
If you think
Im lettin go
You come a dime a dozen
but I'm worth more than gold
I'm not the type of dude
that just be doin
what he told
You can keep the change
I just want what I'm owed
(I can't sell my soul)
I'm just tryna get my doe right
right
I'm gonna make it I will provide
I traveled far down this long ass road
now I'm takin control
hell nah
I can't sell my soul

Verse:
Watchin these crimes perpetrated
huh
Sellin me dope til I'm inundated
ahh
Advertising these large figures
along with bomb bitches
all strippin
but,
then its all business
We tryna make it from boardroom
back to the pavement fly
We underated but, never mistake the great suprise
I told you so
what a bunch of so and so's
couldn't walk a block
in my Moccasins as I walk through cold
Fuckin hoe,
gimmie my fuckin doe
Flippin the balance holmes
welcome to the battle zone
I grinded everywhere tried it til the tires teared
it got ugly but, amongst me
I'm the finest here
Until the financiers
cant find my fuckin ears
I been a Don
since the dawn
now the sky is clear
So, if its on
then its on
and I come prepared
This shit is more than a song this is what I am

Chourus:
You must be buggin
If you think
Im lettin go
You come a dime a dozen
but I'm worth more than gold
I'm not the type of dude
that just be doin
what he told
You can keep the change
I just want what I'm owed
(I can't sell my soul)
I'm just tryna get my doe right
right
I'm gonna make it I will provide
I traveled far down this long ass road
now I'm takin control
hell nah
I can't sell my soul

Verse:
Im like a rocket
can't stop it
you better study your sciences
I'm a scientist
in the lab with alliances
breakin down the truth for the youth
raisin defiant kids
strike up the band
get amped and electrocute the air
make a plan
start a brand
get some fans
build demand
then expand different lands
from here to Turkistan
and these record scans
are just a fuckin scam
so download it explode it
til they know i'm the man
Im gettin tired of this
dotted line image
they provide to divide me
from refined listeners
the guy who listens
convincin a dime to hit it
she shares it with fine sisters
they support
fine business
then I ressurect the maestro
of this modern day
conductin this energy
no technical difficulty
no matter what they do
no matter what they say
I want mine otherwise
I give it away

Chourus:
You must be buggin
If you think
Im lettin go
You come a dime a dozen
but I'm worth more than gold
I'm not the type of dude
that just be doin
what he told
You can keep the change
I just want what I'm owed
(I can't sell my soul)
I'm just tryna get my doe right
right
I'm gonna make it I will provide
I traveled far down this long ass road
now I'm takin control
hell nah
I can't sell my soul

Outro:
I dedicate this song to independence
I got all the options to choose
and not a motherf**kin thing to loose
