Selling Souls

Pay me in compliments, keep your money 
The unbreakable one wishes not to be bribed
A pride that cannot be loaned 
Expensive swagger that can't be borrowed 
I stand alone with courage adjacent to my hip
Wanting to be loved and not purchased 
Dollars will not make me fold nor will it make me change 
A bulletproof ideology and a hardened cranium 
Those who attempt to check me, undoubtedly bounce 
For this soul, is not for sale
