Devil's Work
[00:20.11] Intro]
[00:24.88] Father, forgive me
[00:00.00] I'm staring at this Bible as I keep glancing
[00:00.00] Dear Lord, I got questions and I need answers
[00:00.00] Tryna understand your vision, all I see is damage
[00:00.00] Just a bunch of dead bodies in the street camping
[00:00.00] A bunch of lost souls on their feet standing
[00:00.00] We supposed to be your children, I thought we family
[00:00.00] You're supposed to be my Father, bruh, I need answers
[00:00.00] We don't need to die young, we just need chances
[00:00.00] Tired of living on the edge so we keep scrambling
[00:00.00] Tryna talk to these strippers but they keep dancing
[00:00.00] We just wanna be number one like Steve Francis
[00:00.00] Bow our heads, say a prayer, now the seed's planted
[00:00.00] Everywhere I turn, I'm seeing MC's vanish
[00:00.00] Lot of good niggas gone, I don't understand it
[00:00.00] Lot of families lost and they seem stranded
[00:00.00] I ain't tryna disrespect you, I just need answers
[00:00.00] I know you're watching us from heaven thinking, "Who to save?"
[00:00.00] Cherry pickin' who should go next and who should stay
[00:00.00] I'd be on my way to heaven if I knew the way
[00:00.00] And bring back every good nigga you choose to take
[00:00.00] They say you never wrong, but you done made a few mistakes
[00:00.00] 'Cause you taking the wrong niggas, maybe you should trade
[00:00.00] Trade us back all the real ones, remove the fakes
[00:00.00] I think you should trade
[00:00.00] Give us 2Pac back, and take that nigga Suge (Ooh!)
[00:00.00] Let the legend resurrect and he gon' live for good (Ooh!)
[00:00.00] I been screaming "Thug life" in every different hood (Thug life, thug life)
[00:00.00] If only you could bring him back, Lord I wish you would
[00:00.00] Give us Biggie, give us Pun, give us Triple X
[00:00.00] Take that nigga Trump with you, that's a bigger threat
[00:00.00] There's too much power for a coward with no intellect
[00:00.00] That's a bigot with a collar, there's a disconnect
[00:00.00] Niggas dying, Mama crying, Grandma need a tissue
[00:00.00] Niggas shootin' up a church, now I need a pistol
[00:00.00] All them niggas still livin', you don't see the issue
[00:00.00] But how you take Selena and then you take Aaliyah with you?
[00:00.00] I ain't tryna disrespect, just need to meet up with you (Lord)
[00:00.00] I ain't tryna overstep, just want to reason with you (Lord)
[00:00.00] Give us back our loved ones and take the evil with you (Lord)
[00:00.00] Send them suckers straight to hell, they don't need a vigil (Woo!)
[00:00.00] I need you to give us back Martin Luther, take Martin Shkreli (Take!)
[00:00.00] Give us back Malcolm, take R. Kelly
[00:00.00] R.I.P. Lil Snupe, give that boy his life back
[00:00.00] Take Eric Holder, give us Eric Wright back
[00:00.00] I'm sending you this message, Lord, I hope you hit me right back
[00:00.00] They say I'm on the wrong train, I know I'm on the right track (Yeah)
[00:00.00] 'Cause Trayvon gone, and all he did was tryna fight back
[00:00.00] Zimmerman walk around free, we don't like that (We don't like that)
[00:00.00] Why you take our mothers from us?
[00:00.00] Our fathers and our sisters and our cousins from us?
[00:00.00] Got these children getting murdered while they double dutchin'
[00:00.00] Wonder why the fuck you take Nipsey Hussle from us?
[00:00.00] Damn, you took a true king, a true brother from us
[00:00.00] This a fuckin' marathon, but they runnin' from us
[00:00.00] Now everybody got guns, nigga's up to something
[00:00.00] And every gangsta wanna prove that they tough or something
[00:00.00] You know it's not fair, tell the truth, I've been in my feelings too
[00:00.00] But if you took Emmett Till, at least take Dylann Roof
[00:00.00] At least take James Holmes, I ain't even mad at that
[00:00.00] Just bring back Whitney, and give us Michael Jackson back
[00:00.00] Feds want me in the slammer, damn
[00:00.00] Ain't no justice for Sandra Bland, we up like the ceiling fan
[00:00.00] Lord, if you listenin', I'm just lookin' for a hand to hand
[00:00.00] Take out the fuck niggas and give us back our fam again
[00:00.00] Drownin' in my tears, tryna pray for something (Woo!)
[00:00.00] Wonder why you give us life for you to take it from us (Woo!)
[00:00.00] Wonder why you give us family then erase them from us (Woo!)
[00:00.00] Maybe hopefully you can have a conversation with us (Yeah)
[00:00.00] Maybe I'm just probably tripping 'cause I need a hug (I need a hug)
[00:00.00] The hood can't find jobs, now we need a plug (We need a plug)
[00:00.00] Everybody and their mama tryna be a thug
[00:00.00] I don't go to church 'cause I'm afraid of being judged
[00:00.00] I've been starin' at the ceiling as I lie in bed
[00:00.00] Watchin' niggas follow trends like Simon Says (Yeah)
[00:00.00] I pray you give us back the real ones and try again
[00:00.00] Or maybe take them niggas that deserve to die instead
[00:00.00] Tomi Lahren run her mouth and then she get defensive
[00:00.00] Laura Ingraham laughin' at death and disrespectin'
[00:00.00] I really feel like you should teach them stupid hoes a lesson
[00:00.00] Either that or give us back somebody who deserve the blessings
[00:00.00] I left out a bunch of names that I forgot to mention
[00:00.00] Cost too much to pay attention, then it got expensive
[00:00.00] Father forgive me, for I know not what I do
[00:00.00] And now I'm reachin' out to you, hopin' you hear me and return the message
[00:00.00] I know that you got our back and that you're not against us
[00:00.00] Or maybe you just love us so you doin' shit to test us
[00:00.00] I just kinda thought that you would do more to protect us
[00:00.00] They say that the good die young and I ain't on the guest list
[00:00.00] I've been drinkin', Lord forgive me, it's my blood racin'
[00:00.00] I don't know what I'm thinking, I'm just frustrated
[00:00.00] I don't mean to question you, I'm just confused
[00:00.00] I don't know what else to do, I've been patient and it sucks waiting
[00:00.00] Took my mans from me, that forever hurts
[00:00.00] But puttin' the blame on you, that'd never work
[00:00.00] I know this ain't your fault, it's the devil's work
[00:00.00] Devil's work
