I've gotta be breaking up with everything I know
If I wanna break ground with anything, I've got to show
Cause if there's one person in the world I've got to please,
It's me, not you
I've got to stand up for what I gotta say
Gotta be lettin my inner light show me the way
To be as much of me as I can let myself be until my dyin day
Cause I (y e a) won't sell myself, won't sell myself to you
I (y e a) won't sell myself to you
I was never the kind of person to follow like sheep
I'm not gonna lie in the bed you made for me
Sometimes the easy way is the harder way
Try to set your mind at ease
I've got to let temptations fall aside
Gotta be letting my heart say what's wrong or right
Still be as much of me as I can let myself be,
As long as I decide
Cause I (y e a) won't sell myself, won't sell myself to you
I (y e a) won't sell myself, won't sell myself to you
I'm so sick and tired of everything that you do to me
Say something new to me
Like "Do as you please"
I'm havin a hard time when you do these things to me
Like I'm guilty or something
Whatever you're tryin to say..
I'm not lazy or stupid or nothin
But I've gotta be pullin myself aside to stop all the fussin'
And fighting, my friend
Cause I (y e a) won't sell myself, won't sell myself to you
I (y e a) won't sell myself, won't sell myself to you
Hey (yea-ah) won't sell myself, won't sell myself to you
Hey (yea-ah) won't sell myself, won't sell myself to you
Yeah..
