cole hedgecoth - sell out lyrics

[verse 1]
i really used to think that
the whole industry was built for giving feedback
a young rapper on his way to a contract
they don’t tell you that you really never need that
another label tryna hold you down
drop a milly, they gon’ say that you can keep that
go on tour, hop a plane, put the seat back
do a show, on the way, write a new track
but i promise they’ll leave you to drown
and i know they don’t love me
it’s all on condition, asking how much money
my record is selling, consider me lucky
i made this whole album, my t++th feeling bl++dy
i spit out the lyrics with stains on my tongue
got a hole in my heart, i got smoke in my lungs
no, this wasn’t for me and i hate what i’ve done
but i’m stuck in this gamе and there’s nowherе to run

[chorus]
i’m just chasing after dreams
tryna be the best when it’s all over
the fast life, it ain’t ever what it seems
so i’ll be proud of me if i stay sober
this music is making me bleed
the last thing i need is more exposure
but they promised me a g
so i can never leave
[hook]
i don’t wanna be a sell out
i don’t wanna be a sell out
i think it’s time for me to get the h+ll out
i’ve seen too many ‘fore me start to meltdown
break down, yuh we all drown, there’s no sound

[verse 2]
i really used to think like
everybody in the church had the same mind
talked to everyone they met to introduce christ
speak the truth of deuteronomy 7:9
but then i learned of the hatred they preach
cut a woman from the fruit of the grapevine
because you heard that she was having a great time
but it wasn’t in the terms of what you decide
but let’s talk about what you be doing between the sheets
another ravi zacharias on the stage
spiritual manipulation just to get his way
find a woman, anybody, they don’t care the age
cause absolute power corrupts on any given day
from john gray to… falwell jr
these are more than just some made up rumors
i pray to god that i’m not some consumer
using church as a tool for abusive maneuvers
[chorus]
i’m just chasing after dreams
tryna be the best when it’s all over
the fast life, it ain’t ever what it seems
so i’ll be proud of me if i stay sober
this music is making me bleed
the last thing i need is more exposure
but they promised me a g
so i can never leave

[hook]
i don’t wanna be a sell out
i don’t wanna be a sell out
i think it’s time for me to get the h+ll out
i’ve seen too many ‘fore me start to meltdown
break down, yuh we all drown, there’s no sound

[verse 3]
yuh, we all drown…
they not giving swimming lessons to the broke now
all i want to do is try and stay afloat now
but they hit you underwater with a boat now
it’s so wild, how we coming for they throats now
the whole narrative changed, we the goats now
and i’m living out my dream, how we souled out
but never sold out, this whole crowd
are people from my hometown
i know the opportunity will probably never come
and i’ll prolly never do a couple thousand in the front
when the chances of making it are really slim to none
i’ll be fine at the end when it’s all said and done
cause i’ll die with my soul and the people who love me
the ones who support what i do, never judge me
but if i get lucky to do this for money
you best believe that i’ll be running on monday
[chorus]
i’m just chasing after dreams
tryna be the best when it’s all over
the fast life, it ain’t ever what it seems
so i’ll be proud of me if i stay sober
this music is making me bleed
the last thing i need is more exposure
but they promised me a g
so i can never leave

[outro]
jobs not finished
job finished?
i don’t think so
