Sold My Soul
Prodigy f/Big T.W.I.N. Lyrics

All this shit, it hurt my soul ooh
The difficult experiences that I have gone through have deeply affected me emotionally.

I got ice in my soul ooh
I have become emotionally numb as a result of these experiences.

I done been through the worst
I have faced some incredibly challenging situations.

And my demons wouldn’t let me go oh
My emotional struggles continue to haunt me.

Lost some hommies to the streets, that shit frightening
I have lost some close friends to violence, which has been deeply unsettling.

You could learn a couple things, if you listening
If you pay attention, there are lessons to be learned from my experiences.

Before the racks, I was starved, ain’t nothing glistening
I was struggling financially before I became wealthy, and there was nothing glamorous about it.

Now I got 200K in my Amiri jeans
I am now financially successful and can afford luxury clothing.

I know mama praying for me, demons scared of me
My mother worries about my safety, and I feel as though my past struggles have made me stronger and more resilient.

Can’t even go to sleep, shadows creeping in
I struggle with insomnia as a result of my emotional turmoil.

Think back to shit I did, man I was scandalous
When I reflect on my past actions, I realize that I was reckless and irresponsible.

Think back to growing up, man no one cared bout us
My upbringing was difficult and I didn't feel as though anyone cared about my struggles.

Can’t be seen around these hoes, they be trifling
I can't trust certain women because they have behaved dishonestly and unfaithfully in the past.

Fucked that bitch by her heart, yeah she mad at me
I hurt a woman emotionally by being unfaithful to her, and now she is angry with me.

These thoughts in my head they trynna play with me
My thoughts and memories are causing me emotional anguish and distress.

All the shit I had to do just to get it right
I had to face and overcome many obstacles in order to succeed.

All the pain and hate I seen just to earn my stripes
I had to endure a lot of pain and negativity in order to prove myself and gain respect from others.

look a nigga in his eyes before I take his life
I am willing to kill someone if necessary, and I will face them directly before doing so.

These voices in my head, they make a nigga preach
My inner thoughts and struggles have caused me to become more reflective and vocal.

Keep counting up the dead, got families to feed
I am motivated to succeed in order to support my loved ones financially.

With God I beat the odds to take a risk and make it big
I am grateful for my faith, which has helped me overcome significant challenges and take risks that have led to my success.

It’s money coming fast, I stack this shit up for my kids
I am making a lot of money quickly, and I am saving it to provide for my children's future.

Can’t put me on a leash, I’d rather fucking bleed
I refuse to be controlled by anyone, even if it means putting myself in danger.

This som'in they won’t teach, sell goals that you won’t reach
I have learned some valuable lessons through my experiences that are not typically taught in a formal education setting.

I persevered through times that made you niggas call it quits
I have overcome hardships that would have caused others to give up.

Now I’m the golden child, I never could take a defeat
I am now successful and I refuse to let anyone or anything bring me down.

It hurt my soul
My experiences have been emotionally painful.

I rose up from the dirt, was broke and that shit hurt
I came from a difficult, impoverished background and the struggle was painful.

I did all kinda works, I didn’t have a choice
I had to work hard in order to survive and support myself and my loved ones.

The pain is in my verse, your words you can’t reverse
I express my emotional pain and struggles through my music, and once the words are out there, they can't be taken back.

I do this shit for Hommie, still do this shit for Skobi
I am inspired by and dedicated to my friends who have passed away.

I do this shit for Maxxi, got dreams to stack a billi
I am motivated by my own goals and dreams of becoming extremely financially successful.

Who thought shit could be real? Got here without a deal
I succeeded in the music industry without needing to sign with a record label, which is a rare feat.

Who’s fake and who’s real? need niggas who won’t squeal
I am wary of who I trust, and I need people who are trustworthy and won't betray me or snitch on me.
