Sex Sells by Thabo Lyrics
[Verse 1]
By any means if it's necessary
Even if it leads to the cemetery
If I need to I'll shoot the sheriff
Cause he don't deal wit those who treat us unfairly
Don't worry man you ain't in any danger
After all your music's based on cheap conversations
While in the meantime we done graduated
To say the type of things that can get you assassinated
[Chorus]
Sex sells and crime pays
Get yourself a gun and a pretty lady
I heard that's what it's goin' take
To make it these days
Uzawukhomb' umuzwo tshwala
[Verse 2]
This ain't peace but a 'V for Vendetta'
And the intention is to ruffle feathers
Then expose all the same agendas
Perpetrated by those who claim to represent us
Radio wants a lullaby
But my number ain't the one to dial
So set me up and put me on trial
That may be the only chance i get to testify
[Chorus]
Sex sells and crime pays
Get yourself a gun and a pretty lady
I heard that's what it's goin' take to make it these days
Get your hand out my pocket!!!
[Sample: Malcolm X speech]
You're living at a time of extremism
A time of revolution
A time when there's got to be a change
People in power have misused it
And now there has to be a change
And a better world has to be built
And the only way it's going to be built
Is with extreme methods
And I for one will join in with anyone
Don't care what colour you are
As long as you want to change this miserable condition
That exists on this earth
Thank you!
[Bridge]
Should I be afraid to call a spade
Even though I may be digging my own grave
I might lose I might lose
If I do
Can I count on you to see it through
You to see it through....
By any means if it's necessary
Even if it leads to the cemetery
If I need to I'll shoot the sheriff
Cause he don't deal wit those who treat us unfairly
Don't worry man you ain't in any danger
After all your music's based on cheap conversations
While in the meantime we done graduated
To say the type of things that can get you assassinated
[Chorus]
Sex sells and crime pays
Get yourself a gun and a pretty lady
I heard that's what it's goin' take
To make it these days
Uzawukhomb' umuzwo tshwala
[Verse 2]
This ain't peace but a 'V for Vendetta'

Perpetrated by those who claim to represent us

So set me up and put me on trial
That may be the only chance i get to testify
[Chorus]
Sex sells and crime pays
Get yourself a gun and a pretty lady
I heard that's what it's goin' take to make it these days
