See I got a lot to say And I ain't afraid to say it Mind on money so it's why I'm tryin' to make it Yeah, but the money's what you make it Let it make you see where it's gon' take ya Hey, you'll be headed nowhere Moving so fast you won't even care Yeah, but when you get there What you gon' do when nobody's there? Ay, I know what you're gonna say Made it there alone so you don't worry 'bout they Hey, but when it all goes away You gonna be stuck so what I'm tryna say is Don't lose your soul... Oh, let go, let go of your ego Don't sell your soul Sail your soul Sailing soul Is it really worth it? You are only hurting yourself You will never grow If you lose control over yourself (Don't let go) If you don't get a hold of yourself Then you will end up with no self You're playing the game For the fame in the end But what do you gain When you're paying to win? You don't You better keep your soul Set sail or get sold, oh I sold my soul to the devil thats a crappy deal Least it came with a few toys like a happy meal This game you could never win 'Cause they love you Then they hate you Then they love you again Get away from me loneliness Get away from me misery Get away from me fake bitches I can't take the phoniness Get away from me whack tracks I can only make only hits I'm an only child lost in the world Where did the lonely kids go When the bell rings It's feeling like hell rings Bringing me back down He's checking my background It's ironic what's happening Imagine if I didn't have the ends I wouldn't have so many imaginary friends I'm spaced out dog, I be on that moon talk Wonder if God ask Mike how to moonwalk I swear to momma wish me and my father talk more I stopped visiting around the time I was a sophomore I guess everything I hate about me I see in him And I ain't finna change So we'll never agree again Just a few things pouring out my soul Rosewood, we can see out with our eyes closed G.O.O.D. Music Don't lose your soul... Oh, let go, let go of your ego Don't sell your soul Sail your soul Sailing soul
