Mama don't to Ph.D. in sociology To be aware of the revolution happening in the Papa said trends keep changing the tides upon the sea I'm gonna on the wagon now to rest my aching feet
I've made up my and I'm gonna get my piece too Now is the time there a day to lose I've had it to here watching that world go by This is the year either we do or we die
(chorus) Sell out, sell out that's the name of the Sell out, sell out anybody can play out, sell out I think you know what I mean Sell out, sell out crank up funk machine
I'm tired of breaking my to please Critics who can't be It's time I out for number one I looked out for me I've face the reality of living in the real world Before I end up an old man peanuts to the squirrels
I finally heard the voice in my head It gave me the you wanna know what it said? Don't be a sap get rid of that you bear 'Cause the rap won't make you a millionaire
(chorus)
Sell out, sell out can't pay no with your pride Sell out, out I know 'cause baby I tried Sell out, sell out it's easy you concede Sell out, out that love ain't all you need Play that funky music play that funky Play that funky music ain't all you need
The ivory tower's down The nickels and are spent I've up castles in the air I couldn't afford the Every man has his price I'm taking the bid Come out of the clouds, Sir said And do what did
(Peddle yourself!) Peddle yourself you'd better my advice Or sit on the he couldn't be more precise Don't get me I'd hate to be misconstrued But stringing along it's the left to do
(chorus)
sell out, sell out you've gotta move with the times Sell out, out or they'll surely leave you behind Sell out, sell out there's no sweeter sound the crash Sell out, sell out of freshly cash
Play funky music play that funky beat Play funky music love ain't all you need
Sell out sell out out out sell out sell out
