The Devil (feat. Devo)
Dear father
Dear
Open my eyes look up and say thank you
This day and age there's a lotta things to be thankful for
The fam's healthy. I couldn't ask for more
But you protect me when I walk out that door
If it ain't money it's fighting the dog eat dog
Your friends see you eating, wanna take a bite like Jaws
But I refuse to lose
Won't see this man in the morgue
I keep one foot on the pivot
And I always score Uh
I'm so lyrical it almost feels spiritual
You cross the line and the situation get biblical
Thinking back when dinner's a bowl of cereal
I came a long way but still ain't at my pinnacle
That means I got a lotta work to do
It's like good vs evil and he's lurking too
Labeled a rebel
And they ain't on my level
I keep pushing the pedal
While tryna stay safe from the Devil
The Devil tried to cut me in the barber shop
The Devil
The Devil ran up on me in the parking lot
The Devil
The Devil tried to have his say
The Devil
The Devil can't have his way
The Devil
The Devil
You know it was the Devil
Dear Father
I hate to bother you
Up in Heaven but I need your blessing
It's been 7 years since my last confession
Okay twenty seven
You caught me
I lied
I know I haven't been the best or even like the rest but I tried
I tried to turn the other cheek and make peace with that guy
I didn't push him mmm mmm nuh uuuh
He tried to fly
I really tried not to take that joy ride
I know I didn't not sell those drugs in junior high but I tried I mean it's
Not my fault that they like to get high
Talk to them about it
And leave me alone with my pride
I mean why
Why put this glimmer in my eye if you didn't want me to fix it on a bigger piece of the pie
What I'm saying is
Maybe just maybe since you made me it's hypocritical to forsake me
Missing for a while saw Devo in the store he said Eddie
You ain't down with the Devil no more
Dear Father
Dear
From the Devil
The Devil tried to cut me in the barber shop
The Devil
The Devil ran up on me in the parking lot
The Devil
The Devil tried to have his say
The Devil
The Devil can't have his way
The Devil
The Devil
You know it was the Devil
