[Verse 1: SIYAH (Billy James)]
It seems like I've sealed my fate
Without a second thought
But let me take you back to wear the fight began
I was mesmerized by a way of life
That got manipulated by the sleight of hand
What once started as a revolution
With more power than any single man
Is now a legal form of prostitution
Just a quick way to make a hundred grand, Damn
What a way of life, and they ask me why I still pray at night
And they ask me why I keep talking 'bout God
'Cause God's the only one that can save us right?
(Right)
I was a born king without a silver spoon or a sword to swing
Still working my way to the top, I ain't never been dropped
Even though I had to drop the team, but
There's no love lost, no blood offerings or sacrifices
This lifestyle's so enticing yet filled up with so many vices
I - need to break away with each pa**ing day
I get a blakker heart
But how can I sit back and watch
As they tear apart this sacred art
All this talking 'bout illuminati got everybody tryna imitate
Scared to commentate won't speak up
All they do is give the run around
So I stepped up and I stood firm
'Cause I made a promise to hold you down
You can call whatever name calms ya soul
And you can hold your nose so you won't drown, but
[Hook: SIYAH x Billy James]
And, as I'm going down to the devil's water
I ask you, God, to protect my soul
Ask you, God, to protect my soul
I ask you, God, to protect my soul
As I'm going down to the devil's water
I Ask you, God, to protect my soul
Ask you, God, to protect my soul
I Ask you, God, to protect my soul
