Is it... Coincidental... ?
That SELL Is A Word...
That Rhymes With HELL... !?!

Or... Consequential...
With Joining Herds Who Forever Dwell...
Down Below Cos' Their Price Was Low....

Like Those Whose Course...
Sells Themselves... short...

A DANGEROUS Path...
And That's For SURE... !!!

So This Piece of Prose...
Is Built To Show...

How Things Can Go...
When You SELL Your Soul... !!!!!

You'll Get Your Time...
In The... " SPOTLIGHT "...

But Will Face A Price...
That's HIGHER Than Hikes...
Or... Jordans' Nikes'... !!!

A Price SO HIGH...
That You CAN'T BUY...
Or Try To DEFY...

What It Is You've Resigned...
Your Life To Be Like...
Cos' You Chose To Sign...
On A CRoOKeD Line... !!!

NOT Dotted But Blotted...
By... COMPROMISE...

A Line Where You...
AVOID The Queue... !!!

Because You're Pushed Through...
By Those Who USE...
And Then TAKE HOLD...
Or WORSE... "CONTROL"... !!!

The Keys And Means...
By Which You Move...

And Get To Be A Person Who...
Is Seen As Being Someone Who's COOL... !!!!!

I Guess It's True... ?!?
What Can You Do... ?
In A World Where The Price...
of Life Is... TRIFE... !!!

Like Mobb Deep Said...
You CAN'T Defend...
Being... IGNORANT... !!!!!

Especially When...
You SELL What You...
SHOULD Hold On To... !!!

... Who You ARE... !!!

NOT Playing Your Smart...
When Your *** Is GRASS... !!!

Because You SOLD...
Yourself Like GOLD...
That FOOLS Collect.... !!!

Just Like The Cheques...
That Banks... REJECT... !!!

Because They BOUNCE...
Around Like Hounds... !!!!!

Who SELL Your Stock...
Before It... " drops "...

So That YOU Take The Loss...
While They Move On...
WITHOUT Paying The Cost...
To Be.... " The Boss ".... !!!!

NO James Brown Songs...
Or Links To Hold On....

Cos' The Groove Is GONE...
That You Thought Was STRONG...

You SEE When You SELL OUT...
The DARKEST CLOUDS...
... ALWAYS Surround...

Until It's Time...
For You To Get Drowned... !!!

Because You CLOWNED...
Yourself To Wear Crowns... !!!

That Have NO WORTH... !!!

You See Souls Get BURNED... !!!
When They DON'T LEARN...
That HARD Work EARNS...

MORE Than Interns.....
Who CHOOSE To Shirk....

It's Jerks Who Lurk...
And Turn Like Worms... !!!

Whenever They THINK...
That It's THEIR TURN...
To... SELL THEMSELVES...
Like... EMPTY SHELLS  ... !!!

Their Heads AREN'T Well...
Because Their TELLS...
Have... ***** SMELLS... !!!!!!!

Their Cards LACK Hearts...
So Have To Be MARKED... !!!
For Them To WIN...

Well That's What They THINK... !!!
As I've Said Before These People ARE...
The... WEAKEST LINK... !!!!!

Because Their Course...
Is UNCERTAIN For Sure... !?!?!

That's Right... UnEveN...
Like Heathens Preaching... !!!

Their Form of Believing...
Is Scheming, Deceiving...
Financially LEECHING... !!!

Because They Keep Breaching...
The Code Where Achieving...

Requires NO SALE... !!!
It's Work... Details...
A Level Where FAILS...
STRENGTHENS Your Sails.... !!!!!!

NO... SELLING OUT...
To Ride The Clouds...
Where DARKNESS Shrouds...

Because Those Who Surround...
... Have Financial CLOUT... !!!!!

They'll CLAIM That They...
Have Made Their Way...
And DIDN'T Do So...
Because of... " PAY "...

They May Be RIGHT... ?
But LOOK At Their Lives...

And Then Ask Yourself...

When It Comes To...
... YOUR SOUL...
And How You Roll...

Do You Think It's Wise...
And Will Serve You WELL...

To Put A Price On Oneself...
And..... Choose to....

...... " SELL ".....
You Can't, and Probably SHOULDN'T, Sell Everything ...
