dan bull - sellout lyrics

[intro]
i have a confession to make
there’s no easy way to say this, so…
i’ll just put it out there
i’ve… i’ve sold out
it’s brilliant!

[verse 1]
in year 7 at school i remember that all i aimed to be
was a professional rapper, gamer or comedian
well guess what, mate? (yea?) today i’m all three of them
and we’re saving up for payments to replace my faulty eardrums
i aspired to be “eminem meets monty python”
with enough cash stockpiled to live my life on
and now i’m getting there i tell myself: “nice one”
while trolls send descriptions of the illness i should die from
h-llo, is anybody home? turn the lights on
why do you think that you can tell me what to do in my song?
don’t construct a moral code that you expect me to adhere to
you’re a mere shrew in a field of views
so i can’t even hear you
your opinion doesn’t mean a thing to me
if i’d have listened to it, i wouldn’t be in this industry
wouldn’t have made the friends i share a p-ssion with
travel with, make videos and have a stack of fun just rapping with

[hook]
to make a living playing games? h-ll yeah!
to make a living saying things? h-ll yeah!
to start my day by writing rhymes? h-ll yeah!
to never work a 9 to 5? h-ll yeah!
to be my own manager? h-ll yeah!
to get rich off what i did when i was amateur?
i’m the one that’s doing things, the rest of you are talking
how can i have sold out? i never bought in

[verse 2]
i rarely make a love song, prefer dropping lovebombs
but when it’s time to spar, i’m the first to put the gloves on
life is a prize fight for a shine of the limelight
and i’m loving every round of it, the mike tyson of my life
i remember dreading a 9 to 5, suit and tie
talk about doing time, this was do or die
socially acceptable type of suicide
why should you or i let a single other human being rule our life
life is an rpg, and we need more than xp
so larp with me; i won’t charge a fee if you impress me
do it deftly and there’s no end to what you can get free
i love to chase success, i state that expressly
i’ve never compromised my mission or integrity
my mission is to do whatever i think’s best for me
eventually i’ll write lyrics on flipping everything
meanwhile i’ll take a check to give the list a bit of editing

[verse 3]
i’m not the wolf of wall street
i’m just a bull that’s b-lls deep
in every opportunity for improvement i see before me
a song with product placement creates a complication
even when accompanied by an honest statement
and if i want to be an honored statesman
i’ve got to make it proper blatant
so i’m only going to say it once:
my songs are entertainment, they’re not a concrete statement
and if you take a rap track as fact, then you are mistaken
i’m not endorsing sh-t, unless i say it’s good
i never have and never will tell a fib in exchange for paper
perhaps your perspective would be turned round
if you’d -ssessed the prospective sh-t that i had turned down
i’ve spurned thousands of pounds from powerful people
’cause i found out just how they’re treating creatures and it isn’t peaceful
so, to all my critics and my haters, god bless
i’m not a sellout, nah, i’m a success
