  • I sold my soul to the devil for designer
    They said, "Go to hell," but I told 'em I don't wanna
    If you know me well, then you know that I ain't goin'
    'Cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna
    I don't wanna die young
    The city of angels where I have my fun
    Don't wanna die young
    When I'm gone, remember all I've done, 'one

    We've had our fun-un
    But now I'm done-one
    'Cause you crazy (yeah), I can't take it (no)
    Just wanted to see you naked
    Heard time like money, can't waste it
    What's the price of fame? 'Cause I can taste it
    So I'm chasin' (yeah), and I'm facin'
    A little Hennessy, it might be good for me

    I sold my soul to the devil for designer
    They said, "Go to hell," but I told 'em I don't wanna
    If you know me well, then you know that I ain't goin'
    'Cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna
    I don't wanna die young
    The city of angels where I have my fun
    Don't wanna die young
    When I'm gone, remember all I've done-one

    Ho chiamato anche il diavolo per donargli l'anima ma
    Dà dei dubbi anche a lui e mi sa che me la ridà
    Non ho mai perso nulla tranne la dignità
    Ho più buchi della sanità
    In zona mi chiamano sua Santità
    Wilson
    La mia vita è una sit-com
    Solo gente di spicco
    E tu scemo invidioso perché più famoso che ricco
    Scendo ad L.A.
    Vado a Frisco
    Con 24k sto fumando un gelato davanti a uno sbirro
    Scrivo col fumo fanculo al razzismo

    I sold my soul to the devil for designer
    They said, "Go to hell," but I told 'em I don't wanna
    If you know me well, then you know that I ain't goin'
    'Cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna
    I don't wanna die young
    The city of angels where I have my fun
    Don't wanna die young
    When I'm gone, remember all I've done-one Writer/s: Golden Landis Von Jones, Nico Catalano, Omer Fedi

  • AnonymousThe meaning is obvious. It's an upbeat song about a guy who figuratively sells his soul to the devil for quick success - even if it's short-lived.

    He doesn't actually mean he's making a deal with the devil, more that he wants quick success and willing to take a shortcut for it - but refuses to accept the consequences, because he wants to enjoy the riches as long as he can.

    He refuse to "report to hell" since he wants to live it up more. It's allegorical to chasing fame and clout in LA.
  • Anonymous from CaliforniaIt doesn't tell what the meaning is, tho. Does anyone know?
  • Spidercake from FarmingtonThis dude has a good song, reminds me of kinda a western
  • AnonymousAnyone know the names of the girls in it
  • AnonymousThis reminds me of class from supernatural
  • Jack from LondonKids don't sell your soul - turn back to Jesus Christ who loves you please!!!
  • Catherine from AnonI think he regrets selling his soul.I will pray 4 him.
