Mama don't to Ph.D. in sociology To be aware of the happening in the streets said trends keep changing like the tides upon the sea I'm jump on the wagon now to rest my aching feet
made up my mind and I'm gonna get my piece too Now is the there isn't a day to lose had it to here just watching that world go by This is the that either we do or we die
(chorus) Sell out, sell out that's the name of the Sell out, sell out that can play out, sell out I think you know what I mean Sell out, sell out crank up funk machine
I'm of breaking my back to please Critics who can't be time I looked out for number one Time I out for me I've gotta face the reality of in the real world Before I end up an old man feeding to the squirrels
I finally the little voice in my head It gave me the word you wanna know it said? be a sap get rid of that cross 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, sell out I 'cause baby I tried Sell out, sell out it's easy once you Sell out, sell out that love ain't all you Play that funky music play that beat Play that music love ain't all you need
The ivory tower's down The nickels and are spent given up castles in the air I couldn't the rent man has his selling price I'm the highest bid out of the clouds, Sir Rupert said And do what did
(Peddle yourself!) Peddle yourself you'd better my advice Or sit on the shelf he couldn't be precise Don't get me wrong I'd hate to be But stringing along the only left to do
(chorus)
Yeah sell out, sell out you've gotta move with the Sell out, out or they'll surely leave you behind Sell out, out there's no sweeter sound than the crash Sell out, sell out of freshly minted
that funky music play that funky beat Play that funky music love ain't all you
out sell out sell out Sell out sell out out
