Jay - Outwitting D'Evils lyrics

[Intro] Lord help me. Save me, save me Lord save me, save me, save me [Chorus: Down and Out Sequence] I've been losing my mind And I've been losing my friends I've been losing my mind And I've been losing me I've been losing my mind And I've been losing my friends I've been losing my mind I've been, I've been, I've been down and out I've been, I've been, I've been down and out [Verse 1] Getting high on occasion but the lows come frequent Now I'm staying in no fun on the weekends Thoughts spilling out and the pain still bleeding I'm feeling alone now D'evils teaching me how to do things wrong now I try to be strong but these demons keep eating at me Whipping and slashing they really taking a beating at me Walking through the valley of d**h Been choking myself out but I gotta catch my breath Mama always told me to go to church But she ain't tell that my soul would have to ever go through hurt Lord forgive me, I know that I strayed from the path Cuz d'evils been giving me hell bringing me wrath Voices in my head, voices in my head I hear 'em when I'm walking around I hear 'em when I'm laying down, down, down, down See nightmares on Elm Street Freddy showing no mercy It's all in my head but this sh** still hurt me Voices they be haunting me D'evils laughing in my face they been taunting me I could see a glimpse of the light but I shy away Instead of facing my problems I just hide away I've been hiding, hiding, hiding I've been hiding I've been down and out [Sample] [BRIDGE TO V2] The devil is a lie but I feel it in my system I became a victim from all this trippin' The devil is a lie but I feel it in my system I became a victim from all this trippin' V2 I'm losing my mind I'm losing my soul Tried to hold on but I gotta let go Sippin' henny and jack, smoking weed like its crack I'm addicted, I'm addicted Mary Jane Mary Jane Please don't leave me I'm glad that you came To me during these dark times I'm separated from realities of apartheid I'm a slave to my own grave, I'm k**ing myself Been getting too co*ky these days I been feeling myself But ain't no love for the underdog Lately I've been down I've been under dog I've been smoking too much lately Thoughts in my mind so hazy Please somebody save me Somebody save me I hope that you hear me Somebody save me Oh lord, can you save me? [Bridge: The Outwitting Conscience] D'evils can't keep me boxed in You can't stop me, you can't stop me (x4) Float like a bu*terfly, sting like a bee Rest in peace to Muhammad Ali (x2) I float like a bu*terfly, sting like a bee Rest in peace to Muhammad Ali Float like a bu*terfly, sting like a bee Rest in peace to Muhammad Ali [Verse 2] I thank god for the souls that believe in me And helped lift me up when I was down in the demons It's seeming that I'ma have to be the reason to prosper I gotcha The devil is a lie so it's right that I stay true I stay strong don't let these demons phase you What's done in the darkness shall come to light Through it all I'm glad I have God in sight [Chorus: Thank You Sequence] I've found myselfffff Oh I found my soul I've found myself Oh I thank you Lord I've found myself Oh I found my soul I've found myselfffff Oh I thank you, I thank you Lord Oh I thank you, I thank you Lord
