I Won't Sell My Soul

(Album: The Zheani Sparkes - 2020)

With blood in your eyes you can't see the same
It's a bleeding shame, we are not the same
I will eat the pain
With blood in your eyes we can't see the same
It's a bleeding shame, we are not the same
I will eat the pain
Bucket leaking out, wanna scream and shout
Let the demons out, teeth cracked in my mouth
We are sailing south
I can't take this world blood is running cold
I am getting old, I won't sell my soul
I won't sell my soul

I won't sell my soul, I won't sell my soul
I won't sell my soul, I won't sell my soul
I won't sell my soul, I won't sell my soul
I won't sell my soul, I won't sell my soul

Born as a drug addict's daughter
Daddy good looking, but momma was hotter
Dumb like a lamb to the slaughter, but I grew tough from the dirt as a toddler
I grew bolder, badder runs in the family
14 years old had a man say he loves me
Got what he wanted and then he was done with me
All of those memories, drown them in Hennessy
Momma beat with a bat and the cops they did nothing
Battered and bruised, watched her climb out the gutter
Keep speaking it straight, I won't crumble or stutter
Monsters are real, can't hide under the covers
I learnt to suffer and grew up a cutter
If I was a man, I'd be in jail my brother;
There's ugly in this world, just flip to uncover
But it's real motherfuck, take a look and then shudder

With blood in your eyes you can't see the same
It's a bleeding shame, we are not the same
I will eat the pain
With blood in your eyes we can't see the same
It's a bleeding shame, we are not the same
I will eat the pain
Bucket leaking out, wanna scream and shout
Let the demons out, teeth cracked in my mouth
We are sailing south
I can't take this world blood is running cold
I am getting old, I won't sell my soul
I won't sell my soul

I won't sell my soul, I won't sell my soul
I won't sell my soul, I won't sell my soul
I won't sell my soul, I won't sell my soul
I won't sell my soul, I won't sell my soul
