Mama need to Ph.D. in sociology To be aware of the revolution in the streets Papa said trends keep changing like the tides the sea I'm gonna on the wagon now to rest my aching feet
made up my mind and I'm gonna get my piece too Now is the time there isn't a day to had it to here just watching that world go by This is the year that we do or we die
(chorus) Sell out, sell out the name of the game Sell out, out that anybody can play Sell out, sell out I you know what I mean out, sell out crank up that funk machine
I'm tired of breaking my back to Critics who can't be time I looked out for number one Time I out for me I've gotta the reality of living in the real world Before I end up an old man feeding to the squirrels
I finally heard the little voice in my It me the word 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 bills your pride Sell out, sell out I know baby I tried Sell out, out it's easy once you concede out, sell out that love ain't all you need Play funky music play that funky beat that funky music love ain't all you need
The ivory tower's down The nickels and dimes are given up castles in the air I afford the rent man has his selling price I'm the highest bid Come out of the clouds, Sir said And do what did
(Peddle yourself!) Peddle yourself you'd take my advice Or sit on the shelf he couldn't be more Don't get me wrong I'd hate to be But stringing along it's the only to do
(chorus)
Yeah sell out, sell out gotta move with the times Sell out, sell out or surely leave you behind Sell out, sell out there's no sound than the crash Sell out, sell out of freshly minted
that funky music play that funky beat Play that funky love ain't all you need
out sell out sell out Sell out out sell out
