Spare change

“Spare Change” — Soulful Spoken-Word Hook

(Dark soulful piano + warm vinyl crackle)

🎵

I don’t wanna sell my soul for spare change

Trade my pain just to fit inside they game

Everybody reachin’ for a piece of my flame

But what’s the money worth if I don’t feel the same?

I done walked through storms, still survived the rain

God gave me purpose, I can’t throw that away

They see dollar signs every time I sing

But I’d rather keep my soul than lose myself for fame

🎵

Spoken Bridge (soft emotional delivery):

“See… everybody wanna make it…

but everybody ain’t willing to lose themselves to get there.

I survived too much pain to let this world purchase my spirit for temporary applause.”

Optional Soulful Outro Melody:

🎵

No… I won’t fade away

Can’t sell my light for temporary praise

If I shine, let it shine God’s way

Not for spare change… not for spare change
