One, two, three
One, two, three
One, two, three
The devil's after me
[Verse One]:
No insecurity, I'm 100% sure
That I never doubted me, I'm 100% pure
Will to employ, build and destroy
Yet still can write a record that people can enjoy
Yep
Instead of a quiet riot with a lil' noise
Let's quit that reminiscing on times spent like a void check
Can't wait for more settling for less
Better get back on your mission, baby take it to the chest
My back against the wall, don't know what I'm gonna do
Knowin' where I'm comin' from don't know where I'm runnin' to
Seems that our society is what helps make us
We shape our community and then it shape us
Covergirls on the news that's media make up
Pullin' the dap on 'em, prayin' that they wake up
The truth don't phase us
Thought I got my just deserts till my cousin told me get my cake up
[Chorus]:
Now I'm fightin' this devil in me
No sympathy
Exercise regularly
No sympathy
Fightin' this devil in me
No sympathy
It is what it is, it'll be what it's meant to be
One, two, three
It's easy as
One, two, three
It's easy as
One, two, three
The devil's after me
[Verse Two]:
Yeah, left behind, goin' at your own pace
Never get very far if I never leave home base
Not relying on the relay, I'm runnin' my own race
Wakin' up the ma**es with sounds of blackness
Pumpin' through speakers, the sound is so drastic
Fly like a phoenix, dustin' off ashes
Yo, I'm all in it
Rockwell authentic
Your style hard to place playboy, check forensics
One shot on the microphone, I bogard
You're over, send a tech, warn your whole squad
I ain't tryin' to player hate, welcome to the Layer Cake
Where people can't wait for the problems and gettin' paper made
I just want to take a breath, take a break, meditate
See what type of revenue a young dude can generate
Get a show, make a date
Hit it on the inner state
Finna penetrate your mind, time to renovate
[Chorus]:
Now I'm fightin' this devil in me
No sympathy
Exercise regularly
No sympathy
Fightin' this devil in me
No sympathy
It is what it is, it'll be what it's meant to be
One, two, three
It's easy as
One, two, three
It's easy as
One, two, three
The devil's after me
[Verse Three]:
Powerful paid dues you wouldn't pay
Orchestrating a scam like Quik and Sugar Ray
I'm overthinkin' the plan but I wanna get away
Only find your position by the role you portray
Seems so cinematic how I play this caper
Got a tank full of gas, a pocket full of paper
Stereo on blast and the beat is so major
Haulin' a** so long I'm ridin' on vapors
Stomach in knots must be a brother's nerves
Missin' hella sleep so the vision's gettin' blurred
Been tryin' to dig deep give them what they never heard
That's why I'm on the mood G, stop and you are through, peace
Reachin' every crowd
All of my reality
Hit a couple cities and a few municipalities
No time for rest when you're at your best
This is for the folks that heard me say life's a test
Yes
[Chorus]:
Now I'm fightin' this devil in me
No sympathy
Exercise regularly
No sympathy
Fightin' this devil in me
No sympathy
It is what it is, it'll be what it's meant to be
One, two, three
It's easy as
One, two, three
It's easy as
One, two, three
The devil's after me
