Marked For Death
C-Bo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I sold my soul
To the business
They torture people
And they make believe in the nonexistent world

Do you live in a business world?
Do you kill for money?
Do you live or work to die?

They building people
And they make believe in the nonexistent happiness
The corporation buy
Your ability to tell the truth
I worked for nothing
I just sold my soul
To corporation bought
My ability to think

Do you live in a business world?




Do you kill for money?
Do you live or work to die?
