The Devil Is a Lie

Intro

When you come from the bottom, the only way is up, he told you, you wouldn’t make it, you’d never be enough

Chorus

Got a chip on your shoulder when you get it out the mud, when you come from the bottom the only way is up, he told you, you wouldn’t make it, you’d never be enough, whoa boy that’s a lie, the devil is a lie, whoa boy that’s a lie, the devil is a lie, whoa boy that’s a lie, the devil is a lie

when you come from the bottom, the only way is up, he told you, you wouldn’t make it, you’d never be enough

Verse 1

Living water you can get a cup, make the devil flee and tell him giddy up, I grew up down south with the mud slinging and the PAC blaring I’m a hit em up, when I met Christ I was broken down just a lost kid with nowhere to go, He put a fire in me and the end result was some clean music with a nasty flow (ugh) back in the day I would sit in the car with a pen and pad in a smoke box, the devil said that was reality, playing a game with my life this ain’t Roblox, you’ll never control me (never) trying to fill me up with doubt, you might as well sit in your corner cause if you come out to middle I’m knocking you out, you know it’s early morning riser grab the boots and get to stomping got the devil on my case I promise he gon get this work, book of life inside the pocket, they’re ain’t no way he can stop it, if you try I promise everybody here gon go to church

Chorus

Got a chip on your shoulder when you get it out the mud, when you come from the bottom the only way is up, he told you, you wouldn’t make it, you’d never be enough, whoa boy that’s a lie, the devil is a lie, whoa boy that’s a lie, the devil is a lie, whoa boy that’s a lie, the devil is a lie

when you come from the bottom, the only way is up, he told you, you wouldn’t make it, you’d never be enough

Verse 2

Used to walk around tip toeing on eggshells trying to keep myself in line, this here wasn’t overnight, it was a 10 year grind even if I never made a dime, It was purpose driven, I was never quitting, even when the people tried to break me down, I learned a lesson, it wasn’t always the devil showing up trying to take me out, but I forgive you now, that’s grace, hold a grudge and I said no way, showing love cause when Christ came, He beared the cross that I should’ve faced, he kept knocking I opened up with no hesitation I got the door, tears flowing that’s real talk next thing I know my knees hit the floor

Praying to the Father for my family and my future, I just hope that we can prosper cause my past has been a wreck, then He told me I’ve been chosen I don’t have no place to fear, now get up and lace your boots it’s time to stomp the devil’s neck

Chorus

Got a chip on your shoulder when you get it out the mud, when you come from the bottom the only way is up, he told you, you wouldn’t make it, you’d never be enough, whoa boy that’s a lie, the devil is a lie, whoa boy that’s a lie, the devil is a lie, whoa boy that’s a lie, the devil is a lie

when you come from the bottom, the only way is up, he told you, you wouldn’t make it, you’d never be enough
