sailing NOT selling
Sail Your Soul: Jhené Aiko's Wisdom on Life's True Currency
Lyrics
See, I got a lot to say and I ain't afraid to say it
Expressing a willingness to speak openly about personal thoughts and feelings.
Mind on my money so that's why I'm tryna to make it
Focused on financial goals as a motivation for actions.
Yeah, but the money's what you make it
Money is a product of one's efforts, emphasizing individual agency.
Let it make you, see where it's gon' take ya
Suggesting that money can shape a person's character and influence their path.
Hey, you'll be headed nowhere
Warning about the potential consequences of a rapid and careless journey.
Movin' so fast you won't even care
Life moves quickly, and one may become indifferent to their direction.
Yeah, but when you get there
Raising a question about preparedness for the destination and its challenges.
What you gon' do when nobody's there?
Concern about dealing with solitude and challenges in the absence of support.
Hey, I know what you're gonna say
Anticipating a response and acknowledging independence in the journey.
Made it there alone so you don't worry 'bout they
Emphasizing self-reliance and independence in reaching one's destination.
Hey, but when it all goes away
Highlighting the vulnerability when external factors fade away.
You're gonna be stuck so what I'm tryna say is
Stressing the importance of avoiding being trapped in a challenging situation.
Don't lose your soul
Advising against compromising one's integrity and core values.
Oh-oh, let go, let go of your ego
Encouraging the release of self-centered attitudes and behaviors.
Don't sell your soul, sail your soul
Contrasting the idea of preserving one's essence instead of surrendering to external pressures.
Sailin' soul, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Reinforcing the concept of navigating through life with one's authentic self.
Isn't it clear that you are only hurtin' yourself?
Pointing out the self-destructive nature of certain behaviors.
You will never grow if you lose control over yourself (don't let go)
Highlighting the importance of maintaining self-control for personal growth.
If you don't get a hold of yourself
Warning against losing oneself in the process of pursuing goals.
Then you will end up with no self
Emphasizing the risk of losing one's identity through external influences.
Playin' the game for the fame in the end
Playing a metaphorical game for fame without considering the consequences.
But what do you gain when you're payin' to win?
Questioning the true benefits of achieving success at the expense of integrity.
You don't, you better keep your soul
Advising against compromising one's core values for short-term gains.
Set sail or get sold, oh
Choosing to navigate through life with integrity or risk being controlled by external forces.
Don't lose your soul
Reiterating the importance of preserving one's core values and authenticity.
Oh-oh, let go, let go of your ego
Encouraging the release of egotistical tendencies for personal growth.
Don't sell your soul, sail your soul
Reiterating the choice to maintain one's integrity rather than succumbing to external pressures.
Sailin' soul, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Emphasizing the journey of navigating life with authenticity and soul intact.
