Sellout Lyrics
Sellout
I wasn't born into royalty
But I can try to buy in
I live in the land of opportunity
And stealing, cheating, and lying
And I need you to want me
I lost my attitude
I got a tattoo
I show some tit,
And let you pinch my ass
I'll cut you some slack
So why don't you want me
Why don't you want me
It's not a sellout if nobody buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it
Should I keep smiling
Or should I start crying
I know that you love me
'Cause you said you did
You said that I was the real thing
Hey, where are you going
I thought that you told me
That if I learned how to play the game
Then I would win
If I learned how to say alright to everything
So why don't they want me
Why don't they want me
It's not a sellout if nobody buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it
Can I redeem myself
Can I get back my name
I cannot show my face
In any decent place
I was only trying to make it
And now I cannot fake it anymore
Natives have Billboard
Take me for free I'm yours
La, la, la, la, la, whoo !
It's not a sellout if nobody buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it
It's not a sellout if nobody buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it
It's not a sellout if nobody buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it
It's not a sellout
I can't be blamed
But I can try to buy in
I live in the land of opportunity
And stealing, cheating, and lying
And I need you to want me
I got a tattoo
I show some tit,
And let you pinch my ass
I'll cut you some slack
Why don't you want me
It's not a sellout if nobody buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it
Or should I start crying
I know that you love me
'Cause you said you did
You said that I was the real thing
I thought that you told me
That if I learned how to play the game
Then I would win
If I learned how to say alright to everything
Why don't they want me
It's not a sellout if nobody buys it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it
Can I get back my name
I cannot show my face
In any decent place
And now I cannot fake it anymore
Natives have Billboard
Take me for free I'm yours
La, la, la, la, la, whoo !
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it
I can't be blamed if nobody likes it
I can't be blamed

This is obviously about her bad experience with her former major record label, Atlantic perhaps?
This is about a whore for the industry...an attention whore who cares not the amount of flies he attracts...Oh, the good thing about flies...just pull of their wings, and Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaa!!!
It\'s absolutely about the music industry, and the cut-throat, bird doggish way they do business. \nThe label Mammoth / Atlantic would not release the God\'s Foot album, probably one of her best, because they didn\'t see a hit, thus a subject of contention.\nMusic’s history is littered with albums prepared for release but for whatever reason (suitability / commercial / quality, but almost always a dispute between artist and label) they are withheld, sometimes indefinitely. So is the case with God’s Foot.\nFortunately for all of us, she was able to get this and 5 other songs on an E.P. called "Please Do Not Disturb"
