Текст Tom MacDonald — Sellout

[Verse 1]
I’m sick of hearin’ that I changed up
Everybody wanna keep me chained up
Check if this a race, if I’m runnin’ and you’re walkin’, I can’t wait up, straight up
I feel like I’m the same as when I came up
It’s still f*ck a record label, still f*ck a manager
Still do it all with my girl from my home
Yeah, I bought some Gucci, but I hardly even wear it
I was stoked that after thirty years I finally wasn’t broke
And I don’t like that stuff, the vibe ain’t tough
I should go and soak the clothes in gasoline and light that up
All these stupid little rappers poppin’ Xanax, bad examples for our children
I will never write that, bruh

I’m the same man livin’ like I used to
Do it for my fans, gettin’ famous off of YouTube
Hope they understand I’m only human, didn’t know that makin’ music
Will be so f*ckin’ confusin’, no excuses, that’s the truth too
I will always be the person who I used to be
I ain’t wearing diamonds, I ain’t lyin’ ’bout my jewelry
Every chain is fake, and all that Gucci isn’t new to me
I bought it secondhand so I’d look cool on your computer screen
So I’m tired of bein’ analyzed by fans like they’re scientists
Who criticize for every single rhyme I spit
If you really think I changed, go ask my sister ’bout her wedding dress
My dad about Nepal or my mom ’bout her appliances

[Chorus]
They say I sold out, love me poor
They don’t f*ck with me no more
Say I changed up, now they’re bored
They miss the way I was before
I guess I sold out, they mad
Gold mouth, Louis bag
But everything I was
Made me everything I, everything I am

[Verse 2]
Look, I get it, all the criticism verified
Spent some years together, now we’re goin’ through a scary time
Trust me, if I witnessed my hero been actin’ different
It seemed like he might be switchin’, I’d be trippin’, I’d be terrified
But picture this, roaches climbin’ out the cupboards
I was livin’ in the ghetto, borrowed money from my mother
I just had a mental breakdown, my girlfriend in the struggle
Then I blew up overnight and we recovered
We went to Gucci and Louis, moved out the hood to a safe house
Started doin’ things that we dreamed when we laid down
Now everybody’s sayin’ that I changed and they hate loud
I was tryna show my girl like, «Hey, babe, we’re okay now»
Still throw a brick through the window of the lobby
Of any record label who tryna stop me

Still be the voice of every single lonely person with a story
They can’t tell because they never had nobody
Still f*ck the system and pharma and every whack politician
And every triggered millennial too offended to listen
I got caught up in tryna show all the haters I did it
And I forgot that bein’ Thomas was the promise I’d given
I understand why everybody lately sayin’ I changed
But I get bored of everything that stays exactly the same
I promise that I’ll burn it down with fuel and flames
Before I lose myself and become all the things that I hate

[Chorus]
They say I sold out, love me poor
They don’t f*ck with me no more
Say I changed up, now they’re bored
They miss the way I was before
I guess I sold out, they mad
Gold mouth, Louis bag
But everything I was
Made me everything I, everything I am

[Bridge]
I learned from my mistakes
I grew up and I changed
But I swear I’m still the same
I fell along the way
Took more than I could take
But I turned out okay

[Chorus]
They say I sold out, love me poor
They don’t f*ck with me no more
Say I changed up, now they’re bored
They miss the way I was before
I guess I sold out, they mad
Gold mouth, Louis bag
But everything I was
Made me everything I, everything I am

[Outro]
They say I sold out, love me poor
They don’t f*ck with me no more
Say I changed up, now they’re bored
They miss the way I was before
I guess I sold out, they mad
Gold mouth, Louis bag
But everything I was
Made me everything I, everything I am
