Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The Devil is a lie
You ain't broke bread till you taste the Devil's pie
They say his laugh sounds like an angel when he cries
What better camouflage when the halo's your disguise
Them wings don't fly
[Verse 2]
Your traitor is your neighbor
At your front porch, and he's handin' you your paper
Bathrobe on, but the sword's underneath
And he wanna see your blood as it pours in the street
It's the mark of the beast
[Verse 3]
The meek shall inherit the Earth
The weak shall inherit the dirt
You each should have perished at birth
Stillborn or aborted
Every street tax gotta come with an audit
Either your life, or your loved ones
Straight razor or a snub-gun
From the village where the thugs from
Same corner that you coppin' all your drugs from
He a hero, but he unsung, I'm the one
[Verse 4]
I'm the one
Ay, yo, homie
The chambers is thirty-six, they new and improved
Now make a move
These guns whistle, sizzle up dudes
Who got big mouths, no power
Run in the bank with no dollars, got the nerve to switch crews
We better than the rest of 'em, my guess is the estrogen
And all the money we got, we move like the Mexicans
A cartel, compound, a carvel, a large scale in Scarsdale
I fuck with golf now, Shallah is ill
[Verse 5]
Yeah, the coke is fresh, straight outta Bermuda, yo
Or chillin' on the beach in Boca Chica
With tuna salads and palaces, yo
We smoke out them chalices
Passin' off balances of bread to the island since
1984, the blow was just more
Then we would come through with rifles
Rockin' Nike boots, then war
A real ****'s invention that came from a henchman
Who blew up, now throw the Wu up, that's my redemtion
[Verse 6]
Drug dealer, been that **** half my life
Drug, drug dealer, been that **** half my life
You **** talkin, but you ain't never seen them
Imagine bein' first name basis with the kingpin
[Verse 7]
God, I was Lucifer's neighbor
You wouldn't believe some of the things people do for this paper
Movin' with lasers under Rugers
Make a move, you make the papers
Lose-lose situation
Sweat or blood, you get to choose what you bathe in
[Verse 8]
The chemists cook-work, the runners footwork
The custies took work, the soldiers put work in
On any one of the motherfuckers who fuck up good work
Bosses tell 'em, "Good work," that's just how the hood work
[Verse 9]
Northface bubble with eight bundles under it
Gold front upper-lip smile while I was huggin' it
I lied, I wasn't Lucifer's neighbor, he who I'm fuckin' with
My mom's threw that snow in her nose, but I would hustle it
[Verse 10]
Champ hoodie, Mongoose with the pegs
Clap your stoop up, hit mom dukes in her leg
That's beef, ****
Ya'll ain't street ****
Ya'll peep ****, write it down and try to be ****
[Verse 11]
Fuckin' everything, neck heavy swing
Second hand swept across that pretty Breitling
In that Nissan, Honda, Chevy thing, peddling
Whatever bring 'fetti in, steadily I fed my whole team
[Verse 12]
Drug dealer, been that **** half my life
Drug, drug dealer, been that **** half my life
You **** talkin, but you ain't never seen them
Imagine bein' first name basis with the kingpin
[Verse 13]
In this art of war, my pen stroke is Picasso
**** get the picture, I ain't gotta paint the nostrils
You know my origin is over when
Fat black bitches singin' over organs
[Verse 14]
Die for a dollar, pride, you don't swallow
You save that for the one you buyin' red bottoms
That's the price you gotta pay for it
All's fair in love and war, she masquerade for it
[Verse 15]
Jack-o-lantern push
Trick or treat, fuck your shit, I earned it off the books
Now listen to me vent
When you sittin' watch, it's like tires bein' spent
Shots from everywhere but they never make a dent
[Verse 16]
Knight in shinin' armor
Mistake me for the villain 'cause my vengeance is your karma
Yeah, fear is knowin' you're a goner
This music to my soul, 'cause it's death before dishonor
Gone
[Verse 17]
Check
Got the tongue of a pimp, raised by a dirty preacher
They used the church money to cop a new Bimmer
Got the heart of a child raised by a prostitute
That bought his mama the rubbers when a John came through
[Verse 18]
It's the microphone methadone, greatest ever etched in stone
You ain't gettin' pussy, like your prom date had a chaperone
Poppin' pills, gotta **** brain like a labyrinth
Called the ho on purpose, but I got the brain on accident
[Verse 19]
****, I'm your majesty, show up with a bag of weed
Rolled a blunt so perfect, thought it came up out a factory
My manuscript leave a man ripped of all his dreams
The insomniac with nightmares in sixteens
[Verse 20]
I'm a wet dream, dry sense of humor
Travel in class like a high school rumor
No one really cares if you embarrass us with style
'Cause when it comes to them raps, you be lettin' us down
[Verse 21]
So tell 'em why you're mad, son
Gotta get it off your chest
Let 'em know how you feel, son
You gotta say what you say
It don't matter, they gonna say a **** hatin' anyway
