[Chorus]

I got a letter in the mail telling me to sell my soul (Sell your soul)

Otherwise, you I ain't achieving my goals (You ain't achieving your goals)

I rejected the offer and never looked back

Amazing how at 14 I got delivered the world on a plaque

I denied, I never wanted fans

I never wanted green, I just wanted my faith

Look at my face, these scars don't lie

I'm moving up to the top you can see the envy in they' eyes


[Verse 1]

They move away from the mic, I bring pressure

I chose to go this way, made myself get better

Haven't seen the parts of the street, ain't no biggie though

I could still write a lot bars from knowing what I really know

I had my worst birthday at ten

Close to my adolescence I started getting depressed

The music was to all of the feels, all of these uneaten meals

I starved my self for a week, yeah

I got hated on for being myself and that caught me way to real

At 15 I wanted closure, I had hope of this song that I wrote then they laughed and they poked

Yeah, they ignored, the message of my album

So I called the devil to help me practice

So I've gotten better as you see, my heart keeps raising beat to beat

They heard me sobbing as they fell asleep

The moment I got rich is the moment I see the jealousy


[Chorus]

I got a letter in the mail telling me to sell my soul (Sell your soul)

Otherwise, you I ain't achieving my goals (You ain't achieving your goals)

I rejected the offer and never looked back

Amazing how at 14 I got delivered the world on a plaque

I denied, I never wanted fans, I never wanted green, I just wanted my faith

Look at my face, these scars don't lie

I'm moving up to the top you can see the envy in they' eyes


[Verse 2]

If there's one thing that I know is that the underground don't care

Good or bad, your music ain't going nowhere

That shit's frustrating, I put my heart and soul into this basement

I spent all my diamonds and gold on this pavement

And I'ma have to die in order to have it vacant

No quit, I'ma keep chasing in my own lane but you bet that I am racing

They keep looking sideways acting like they read my pages

Yeah, I'ma different breed, I'ma lyricist that pops on the scene from time to time and there's no knowing what I really be planning out

I made like 5 figures this month

Ain't no bragging I'm just happy for my luck

These cheques keeps on writing

Bought a car but I ain't got no license

My contracts getting priceless, labels keep on fighting

Due time, I'm on the rise no stopping the kid

Even if you play my track, you have no power to skip it


[Chorus]

I got a letter in the mail telling me to sell my soul (Sell your soul)

Otherwise, you I ain't achieving my goals (You ain't achieving your goals)

I rejected the offer and never looked back

Amazing how at 14 I got delivered the world on a plaque

I denied, I never wanted fans, I never wanted green, I just wanted my faith

Look at my face, these scars don't lie

I'm moving up to the top you can see the envy in they' eyes
