Ill Poetic - When The Devil Knocks lyrics

[Verse 1] There ain't no Lord here, Dear Lord Nobody watching or protecting What you fear for There's nothing moral about humans Disillusioned, living in ruins Most unsacred of unions The Devil speaks fluent in influence God's students lost Busy disproving Newton Must be thinking is he this f**ing stupid? I'm a shoe-in for Heaven's Gates My dues been accruing You sitting in that waiting room stewing Sweat dripping, anxious Tie getting loosened Knowing that you judgment is pursuant To the life that you lived Dirty sh** that you been doing You tried to make your soul translucent Excuses taking the place of improvements Your prayers been muted You soul been wounded That high horse you rode in on Is f**ing useless [Hook] When the devil comes knocking You don't got a lot of options Body and soul rotten God's forgotten, misbegotten Downtrodden But he ain't watching When the devil comes knocking You don't got a lot of options Body and soul rotten God's forgotten, misbegotten Downtrodden But he ain't watching [Bridge] So do not fear God And do not fear d**h Because what is painful is easy to endure And what is good is easy to get And when God invites me up to have my interview And tells me that my résumé reminds him of the sin in you I'll remind her that you tried your best to do what's best Without a second thought or consideration of what's next And that you never told her children you were better for it And that you asked if I could pa** along a message for him That if the God above is real and I was left below That's not the kind of God I want and you should let me go [Verse 2] So Hello Mr. Self Righteous Bury your pride beneath the shadow of the Cyprus I can see it in your iris You're lifeless You might just Pick and leave to fight ISIS The Middle East, there isn't peace for those sightless Those people need your beliefs Spiritual crisis You can enlighten them from underneath the Ficus But really if they'd just remain tight-lipped You might give Some rationality Some democracy Western Culture the foundation of your Whiteness Cause it's not a matter of wrong or right it's A matter of these divine rights b**h But man, f** it Go on your crusade Put your woman in place, make fun of somebody who's gay Nobody's racist on k**-A-Black-Kid-Tuesday And it's cool to say the n-word when you rap along with 2 Chainz But before you go all Liu Kang on Hussein's You gotta tell 'em you're a Christian, and you pray But goddamnit, today is a new day And freedom tastes like gunpowder Pa** the Crest toothpaste [Hook] When the devil comes knocking You don't got a lot of options Body and soul rotten God's forgotten, misbegotten Downtrodden But he ain't watching [Bridge] So do not fear God And do not fear d**h Because what is painful is easy to endure And what is good is easy to get So when God invites me up to have my interview And tells me that my résumé reminds him of the sin in you I'll remind her that you tried your best to do what's best Without a second thought or consideration of what's next And that you never told her children you were better for it And that you asked if I could pa** along a message for him That if the God above is real and I was left below
