Joyner Lucas - Devil's Work (ADHD)

[00:18.26] Father forgive me

[00:20.76] I'm staring at this bible as I keep glancing

[00:23.25] Dear Lord, I got questions and I need answers

[00:25.50] Tryna understand your vision, all I see is damage

[00:28.00] Just a bunch of dead bodies in the street camping

[00:30.50] A bunch of lost souls on their feet standing

[00:32.99] We supposed to be your children I thought we family

[00:35.50] You're supposed to be my father, bruh, I need answers

[00:37.75] We don't need to die young, we just need chances

[00:40.25] Tired of living on the edge so we keep scrambling

[00:42.99] Tryna talk to these strippers but they keep dancing

[00:45.50] We just wanna be number one like Steve Francis

[00:48.00] Bow our heads, say a prayer, now the seed's planted

[00:50.24] Everywhere I turn, I'm seeing emcees vanish

[00:52.24] Lot of good niggas gone, I don't understand it

[00:55.24] Lot of families lost and they seem stranded

[00:58.00] I ain't trying to disrespect you, I just need answers

[01:00.25] I know you're watching us from heaven thinking, "Who to save?"

[01:02.75] Cherry pickin' who should go next and who should stay

[01:05.25] I'd be on my way to heaven if I knew the way

[01:07.50] And bring back every good nigga you choose to take

[01:10.00] They say you never wrong but you done made a few mistakes

[01:12.74] 'Cause you taking the wrong niggas maybe you should trade

[01:15.24] Trade us back all the real ones and remove the fakes

[01:17.75] I think you should trade

[01:19.24] Give us 2Pac back, and take that nigga Suge (Ooh!)

[01:21.49] Let the legend resurrect and he gon' live for good (Ooh!)

[01:24.00] I been screaming thug life in every different hood (Thug life, thug life)

[01:26.22] If only you could bring him back, Lord I wish you would

[01:28.74] Give us Biggie, give us Pun, give us triple X

[01:31.49] Take that nigga Trump with you, that's a bigger threat

[01:34.01] There's too much power for a coward with no intellect

[01:36.49] That's a bigot with a collar there's a disconnect

[01:39.02] Nigga's dying, mama crying, grandma need a tissue

[01:41.24] Nigga shootin' up a church, now I need a pistol

[01:43.74] All them niggas still livin', you don't see the issue

[01:46.47] But how you take Selena and then you take Aaliyah with you?

[01:48.99] I ain't tryna disrespect, just need to meet up with you

[01:51.25] I ain't tryna over step, just want to reason with you

[01:53.98] Give us back our loved ones and take the evil with you

[01:56.49] Send them suckers straight to hell, they don't need a vigil

[02:07.73] Take Eric Holder give us Eric Wright back

[02:09.98] I'm sending you this message, Lord, I hope you hit me right back

[02:12.23] They say I'm on the wrong train, I know I'm on the right track (Yeah)

[02:14.99] 'Cause Trayvon gone, and all he did was tryna fight back

[02:17.25] Zimmerman walk around free, we don't like that (We don't like that)

[02:20.21] Why you take our mothers from us?

[02:21.48] Our fathers and our sisters and our cousins from us?

[02:23.98] Got these children getting murdered while they double dutchin'

[02:26.23] Wonder why the fuck you take Nipsey Hussle from us?

[02:28.99] Damn, you took a true king, a true brother from us

[02:31.48] This a fuckin' marathon but they runnin' from us

[02:33.98] Now everybody got guns, nigga's up to something

[02:36.49] And every gangsta wanna prove that they tough or something

[02:39.00] You know it's not fair, tell the truth, I've been in my feelings too

[02:41.98] But if you took Emmett Till, at least take Dylann Roof

[02:44.48] At least take James Holmes, I ain't even mad at that

[02:47.24] Just bring back Whitney, and give us Michael Jackson back

[02:49.73] Feds want me in the slammer, damn

[02:51.73] Ain't no justice for Sandra Bland, we up like the ceiling fan

[02:55.23] Lord, if you listenin' I'm just lookin' for a hand to hand

[02:57.73] Take out the fuck niggas and give us back our fam again

[03:00.22] Drownin' in my tears, tryna pray for something

[03:02.74] Wonder why you give us life for you to take it from us

[03:05.23] Wonder why you give us family and erase them from us

[03:07.74] Maybe hopefully you can have a conversation with us (Yeah)

[03:10.24] Maybe I'm just probably tripping 'cause I need a hug (I need a hug)

[03:12.72] The hood can't find jobs, now we need a plug (We need a plug)

[03:15.49] Everybody and their momma tryna be a thug

[03:17.72] I don't go to church 'cause I'm afraid of being judged

[03:20.21] I've been starin' at the ceiling as I lie in bed

[03:22.73] Watchin' niggas follow trends like Simon says

[03:25.48] I pray you give us back the real ones and try again

[03:27.73] Or maybe take them niggas that deserve to die instead

[03:30.48] Tomi Lahren run her mouth and then she get defensive

[03:32.74] Laura Ingraham laughin' at death and disrespectin'

[03:35.47] I really feel like you should teach them stupid hoes a lesson

[03:37.97] Either that or give us back somebody who deserve the blessings

[03:40.72] I left out a bunch of names that I forgot to mention

[03:42.97] Cost too much to pay attention then it got expensive

[03:45.22] Father forgive me for I know not what I do

[03:47.74] And now I'm reachin' out to you, hopin' you hear me and return the message

[03:50.49] I know that you got our back and that you're not against us

[03:52.97] Or maybe you just love us so you doin' shit to test us

[03:55.22] I just kinda thought that you would do more to protect us

[03:57.97] They say that the good die young and I ain't on the guest list

[04:00.46] I've been drinkin', Lord forgive me, it's my blood racin'

[04:02.72] I don't know what I'm thinking, I'm just frustrated

[04:05.47] I don't mean to question you, I'm just confused

[04:07.47] I don't know what else to do, I've been patient and it sucks waiting

[04:10.47] Took my mans from me, that forever hurts

[04:12.97] But puttin' the blame on you, that'd never work

[04:15.72] I know this ain't your fault, it's the devil's work

[04:18.72] Devil's work
