Kawann Shockley - Devils lyrics
Verse 1: I wrote Rapademics and critics didn't really get it Didn't consider it as a cla**ic or admit it Even though it took months of research Much for each verse I rehearsed mentally first I got respect for Dr. Meacham Who sees them songs as I can see them Not just an album to listen to It was part of us founding an institute Even though most were slow to give it a chance They dissin' the man only because he gettin' a grant They be like, ‘how he gon' take credit from school? And let him study hip-hop? That ain't cool' Y'all people on the internet need to get a life You're so trivial I don't even consider you as bright If you don't like what I write or doctor's insight Let me know not to send an invite To my next lecture or the professors' Can't be bothered or stressed ‘cause You people messed up I better chill ‘cause I'm ‘bout to get hype My woman told me that I gotta get you out of my life That's why Chorus: Gotta get you outta my life I gotta get you devils outta my life Gotta get you outta my life I gotta get you devils outta my life Gotta get you outta my life I gotta get you devils outta my life Gotta get you outta my life I gotta get you devils outta my life Verse 2: Church folk try to judge me talkin' ‘bout ‘that ain't gospel' ‘Cause I have a lifestyle that ain't docile Why does it concern you so much what I do? They told you in the Bible to flee from idols That's so high school, dissing the youth If you don't like the way I'm rapping You should get in the booth Or recognize my gift reaches the kids Maybe more so than probably any preacher that lives I'm not telling you that I'm a soothsayer Well maybe I am, y'all gonna see the truth later Just remember I said rap was a factor When Christ comes back and he's rapping in rapture Pastor, ain't that funk in O's music? Ain't that a little P-funk that O's using? Come on man that's so stupid I better get y'all outta my life before I lose it Chorus: Gotta get you outta my life I gotta get you devils outta my life Gotta get you outta my life I gotta get you devils outta my life Gotta get you outta my life I gotta get you devils outta my life Gotta get you outta my life I gotta get you devils outta my life Verse 3: Last verse for the people that's playing me at work If your boss making you mad look at that jerk And say, ‘I'ma get you outta my life I'ma get you devil outta my life' Naw, I'm just playing ok? If you gon' do that, at least wait 'til you get paid What I'm trying to say is you gotta envision your promotion But how you gon' do that when you're living in commotion? Fighting with coworkers for no purpose You wonder why the raise you want just won't surface Gotta get them outta your life You betta get them devils outta your life I'm talking ‘bout abusive men Women too that be abusing men And the stupid men that got kids and a wife Sneaking out with other men in the night Mama you better get him outta your life You better get that devil outta your life If you said he should wait ‘cause you ain't certain That you ready to stop being a virgin, girl you Better get him outta your life Gotta get that young buck outta your life C'mon now Chorus: Gotta get you outta my life I gotta get you devils outta my life Gotta get you outta my life I gotta get you devils outta my life Gotta get you outta my life I gotta get you devils outta my life Gotta get you outta my life I gotta get you devils outta my life O'hene: You know what you gotta do, I'm just gonna let this joint play out for a second so you can think about the devils in your life, you know what I'm saying? RAHM Nation in the spot, visionary, it's the new movement, Oh I'm just doing my job, trying to get the devils outta your life
