[Verse 1]
Every step forward that I make
Wash my footprints away
All the good news that I repeat
Crush it up, throw back at me
[Pre-Chorus]
Your hands around my neck, my vision fading
My hands behind my back, I keep waiting
Your hands around my neck, I'm suffocating
Inside I'm wasting, grow impatient
‘Bout to cave in
[Chorus]
Ooo you're the devil on my shoulder
Countdown to my surrender
Ooo you're the devil on my shoulder
[Post-Chorus]
I'm tryna hold it down but you just won't let me
You're tryna hold me down and I just can't breathe
Ohhhh
[Verse 2]
If I were to win first place
You'd say I lost the race
At a point that I would break
You would revel in my wake
[Pre-Chorus]
Your hands around my neck, my vision fading
My hands behind my back, I keep waiting
Your hands around my neck, I'm suffocating
Inside I'm wasting, grow impatient
‘Bout to cave in
[Chorus]
Ooo you're the devil on my shoulder
Countdown to my surrender
Ooo you're the devil on my shoulder
[Post-Chorus]
I'm tryna hold it down but you just won't let me
You're tryna hold me down and I just can't breathe
Ohhhh
[Bridge]
Diamonds come from pressure
One day in my rose and leather
I'll Look back and laugh
Look back and laugh
This is for the better
I'm leaving all my displeasure
In the past
You're either with us or against us
Devil on my shoulder turn into dust
You're either with us or against us
Devil on my shoulder turn into dust
[Chorus]
Ooo you're the devil on my shoulder
Countdown to my surrender
Ooo you're the devil on my shoulder
[Post-Chorus]
I'm tryna hold it down but you just won't let me
You're tryna hold me down and I just can't breathe
Ohhhh
