I Am Selling Soul

Lyrics

I am the music
 I've yet to define myself as just, one thing
 Let's just say that
 I am the actual and factual supernatural sight and surrounds
 Signification of conversation
 Two or more words rhyming in song form or spoken syncopation
 The reason the rudery reanimation and realization of life is rhythm
 I am the heartbeat and the heartache, the here and now
 I am the purpose, the point, the living proof of a God somewhere
 The lifeline, lifelike lazer beam, the progression and direction
 Always will be always was what all comes from and all must return
 The center of a perfect circle, I am your soul
 Music of your mind, each feeling causing each function
 To be in conjunction with the music, I am the music
 I am the music
 Let's get started shall we? 'Cause you know it's time gone
 Every time these n****z rhyme wrong
 So uhh, lights, camera, action I'm on
 I'll have them standing in line to get their mind blown
 I'm selling soul, rapping and singing, and screaming, and yelling soul
 Manufacturing, marketing, pricing, packaging and e-mailing soul
 With no rehearsal, this one verse'll whole hearse you
 Now a commercial but what I must first do
 Is make my presentation a bit more personal
 Everything must go for a small price you can have the heart of me
 There is no part of me that can't be calculated into a commodity
 My musings amount to a milestone a million miles above monotony
 And it'll make you feel so good, it got to be God, it got to be
 I paint prophecy, you know airbrush atrocity with philosophy
 And people ask me am I gon' preach one of these days
 And I just tell 'em, "Possibly", if you let me
 I'll end up being everything probably and obviously
 It's like any other job would be so you might as well thank God for me
 But isn't it amazing, how the antenna ain't nothing but a sinner
 You just can't go and be ordained over dinner
 Now I can interest an intellectual or A B C it for a beginner
 But yes my seasons still change and it is almost winter
 And it give it to you at God-speed but yet it's gentle
 And when I rhyme I make reading fundamentals
 Or even black and white, my lyric is live and living color
 My flow if fluorescent like scripture highlighted in bright yellow
 And all this for 999, s*** that's wonderful
 And the great thing about it is, if you disagree you're money's refundable
 But there's always something rewarding about every Cee-Lo Green Recording 'cause even after all your expenses
 People still aspire affording
 It's incredible how convincing I can be with a camera pointed at me
 But really sometimes rapping feel like tapping to make a cracker happy
 But when the dat play and the beat get bumping like adolescent acne
 It's kinda sad but it's show time, my sentiment exactly
 So don't get mad, everybody's doing it, you know you wouldn't mind
 A commercial with your own tennis shoe in it
 Whether you're selling a dream, selling a scheme or playing a role
 Like it or not we're selling soul
