Coolio - Devil Is Dope (LP Version) [Explicit lyrics

If you free your mind your a** got to go too Cought up in that same old pattern, trapped as a homie Couldn't go through, searching for answers without no questions Never thought it could happen to you and your crew But your blood is no s**ual, started out frontin' it was all 'bout kicks And each and every kick seem to turn out to be a trick Imagine this, they have no family, they got no ends They got no hustle, no muscle, no car no crew, they got no friends Once all in the neighbourhood bouncing tall No G living life as walking dog n***as hate to admit it but they know it's true They're running down the hood having kids wanna be just like you Here I stand as a witness, trying saying, claiming, selling a victim Get just spit 'cause it's a sick a** system You can roll when I'm rolling out from the smoke Somebody take a vote, the devil is dope The devil is dope (out of control) the devil is dope The devil is dope (out to get your soul) the devil is dope Pain seen, only imagine in my dream The same nightmare screamin' on the scene and the tv screen 'cause if I told that, 'round your waste I have to tie you Everything is going black, a little bit of that, picture that But you still can't see the thug around is demon You need c**aine if he's tripping around then scream Traffic is slow so you come to work at 5 So you're dancing 'round your consience and try to stay alive Now you try to play hockey with some chicks n***as tell you to kick that and kick back, but you did that And all money ain't good money But everyone wants the cream and honey They can have the other side as well that is so sunny But loves only jealousy, leaves people here to grieve From AC to old G to BG toBC How did you call when you choked from all the smoke Murder he smokes, the devil is dope The devil is dope (out of control) the devil is dope The devil is dope (out to get your soul) the devil is dope Sunshine on your mind but darkness revile You move yourself from hotel to hotel Free records and a gla** from cash to ash Blood sh** off your whole blown personality crash And as your task try to make a milk ticket So you can kick in and stripp with your chickens, but You's the picked man since you got your own mind It ain't hard and your fault but you gotta make your own time Choose your weapon 'cause you're the first to wrestle Often dictators in situations that you find yourself cought in If you're still blind and you can't see You better obtain yourself some gla**es and clear your vision like dmc I remember what I told you, remember who are the soldiers I wonder who are the strangers 'cause there's too large amount of danger Man I'm on board am I the under lord Put your a** on the boat, the devil is dope The devil is dope (out to get you soul) the devil is dope Listen, the devil is dope ( oh lord lord lord) the devil is dope The devil is dope, you better believe it, you better believe it You better believe it, you better believe it, the devil is dope The devil is dope (so much, so much pain) the devilis dope
