Pure Souls

Kanye West

Life change when you famous I remember, back before the chains, we was nameless Went through stages just to hop on new stages Open up your eyes, man, they only entertainers And I cannot sell my soul (soul) And I cannot sell my soul (soul) And I cannot sell my soul (yeah, soul) And I cannot sell my soul (Jesus saved my soul) And I cannot sell my soul I've been at the top shinin' like a light pole And I'm just a product of whatever I was raised in This money sanctified, so I gotta say it again They said I was mad at the Grammys But I'm lookin' at my Grammy right now Pulled up on Ye, and I said, "They don't understand me" I just want my dawg to pipe down 'Cause when you really came from the trenches You was raised (mm) in the trenches You feel like you trailblazed for the trenches (mm) I hope God can forgive me for the days that I was sinnin' (mhm) The truth is only what you get away with, huh? (Yeah, all these lyin' n-) I said, the truth is only what you get away with, huh? Ayy, that's why a lot of these n- be fakin', huh Made it through the trials and tribulations, huh Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah But, uh, umh, well, well, here goes Well, here goes, but here goes I was one of them weirdos of the pure soul That would go to the flea market to buy fake clothes Every color Girbaud's, every Cutlass is cold Every cousin that stole, every summer was cold Out of all of the Moes, out of all of the Folks After all of the jokes, I'm the one that was chose All of my friends love to gang bang How we in my car, and you say we ain't in the same lane? When we both had Pelles on And we was scammin' for the prom before Chief Keef was "Bang, Bang" Always had mob ties, stood on my six points, how could I not rise? Love, truth, peace, freedom, justice, but I'm not five This Southside, and we outside This Southside, and we outside This Southside, and we outside This Southside, and we outside This Southside, and we outside And for all the guys that went to the White House and said, "Free the old man" Every day I put my life on the line to feed the whole clan Personal worth is not what a person is worth I can give a dollar to every person on Earth Man, it's gotta be God's plan Man, I swear these boys keep playin' We gon' have to square up then We gon' have to send it up then We gon' have to send it up then We gon' have to send it up then, uh We gon' have to send it up then We gon' have to send it up then My favorite place to send it It ain't how it used to be This the new me, so get used to me It ain't how it used to be This the new me, so get used to me Lookin' in the mirror, it's the truth of me Lookin' at my kids, it's the proof of me Devil get behind me, I'm loose, I'm free Father, Holy Spirit, let loose on me Father, I'm Yours exclusively Devil get behind me, I'm loose, I'm free Father, Holy Spirit, let loose on me Father, I'm Yours exclusively Devil get behind me, I'm loose, I'm free Devil get behind me, I'm loose, I'm free The truth is only what you get away with, huh?
