There are markets for all kinds of music, and certainly an audience that wants to hear explicit lyrics.

If your music is easy listening, which may cater to a group that is not expecting to hear profanity, your sales are likely to decrease; unless you find a very niche market of easy listening music with obscene lyrics.

On the other hand, if you are targeting metal, punk, rap, or other genres that might use explicit lyrics, it might be helpful to identify with what the audience is expecting.

It all comes down to understanding your market, and making sure that you are focusing your promotion towards that correctly identified market.

If that's done correctly, almost anything can sell.
