Lowkey - My Soul lyrics
[Lowkey - My Soul lyrics]
They say the fool thinks himself
To be a wise man
But the wise man knows himself to be a fool
I say that, to say this
You might take my life
But you can't take my soul!
You can't take my soul!
You might take my freedom!
You can't take my soul!
They can't use my music to
Advertise for Coca Cola
They can't use my music
To advertise for Motorola
They can't use my music
To advertise for anything but truth
I guess that's the reason the
Industry won't let me in
Refuse to be a product or a brand
I'm a human
Refuse to contribute to the gangster illusion
Whether I'm number one, number two
Or number three
I'm unique and there will never be another me
And there will never be another you
Be proud of who you are
Don't copy what the others do
They are not superior, you are not inferior
When we realize that is gonna be hysteria
Not commercial
Always controversial what my pen has written
When they listen many have risen
From the mental prison
That's why you don't see my
Face upon the television
But every time I try to sleep
I hear the devil singing
You might take my life
But you can't take my soul!
You can't take my soul!
You might take my freedom
But you can't take my soul!
You can't take my soul!
They can't use my music to advertise
A watch or your car
They can't use my music to advertise a
Drink you got at the bar
They can't use my music
To advertise for anything the truth
I guess that's the reason the
Industry won't let me in
My integrity is the reason
I'm thinking separately
Keep your three-sixty I can
Do this independently
It's likely I'm quite mad (why?)
'Cause I say with ease slavery gave
The streets Nikeys and iPads
They don't like my rhymes
Say my style is like a lecture
But I'd rather die
Than smile with my oppressor
I'm an honorable student
With the facts and you're Judas
You're not Hip Hop or Grime
You're just McDonald's music not commercial
Always controversial what my pen has written
When they listen many have risen
From the mental prison
That's why you don't see my
Face upon the television
But every time I try to sleep
I hear the devil singing
You might take my life
But you can't take my soul!
You can't take my soul!
You might take my freedom
But you can't take my soul!
You can't take my soul!
To be a wise man
But the wise man knows himself to be a fool
I say that, to say this
You might take my life
But you can't take my soul!
You can't take my soul!
You might take my freedom!
You can't take my soul!
They can't use my music to
Advertise for Coca Cola
They can't use my music
To advertise for Motorola
They can't use my music
To advertise for anything but truth
I guess that's the reason the
