Ever had a friend who made you rethink friendship? Sold is short for "sold out," and is the song you can dedicate to that turncoat you use to know.
lyrics
Verse 1:
You know your mama taught you better.
What you did I thought you'd never.
Acting funny because of money.
Well, I remember when you had nothing.
The folks you use to be around
Now be asking where are you now.
I understand that you got clout,
But it don't matter. You dun sold out.
Hook:
Sold out. Played out. Didn't have to go that route, but you
Dun gone. You're so wrong. Now I gotta say so long.
Verse 2:
When you use to call on me,
I'd be there without a care.
How could I be so naive.
Should've known that you would up and leave.
My baby told me you were this way,
But I thought maybe that you would change.
And now I see the real you.
You just look like a crazy fool.
Hook:
Sold out. Played out. Didn't have to go that route, but you
Dun gone. You're so wrong. Now I gotta say so long.
Bridge:
(You were my best friend)
We were inseparable.
(And I can't understand.)
I don't know why we had to go.
(Why did it have to end.)
I miss you like crazy but I see that you're
Long gone, long gone.
Hook:
Sold out. Played out. Didn't have to go that route, but you
Dun gone. You're so wrong. Now I gotta say so long.
Vamp:
Said it's not fair, not fair, what you did to me.
After all that we've been through this just ain't how it's supposed to be.
Saying so long...
