Yo, me and my niggas in my clique be gettin' mad cream
Ball in the club, now I'm drunk havin' a bad dream
This motherfucker tried to greet me with wealth
I never knew that I would see the day
That I would meet the devil himself
This nigga was eagerly waitin' to prove it, astonishingly
Already dancin' to his own burial music
Well, anyway, he plottin' to do it to me
In a certain kind of way, it started off directly poppin' shit to me
And while he spoke, a couple fires would spark
While he sat in his shadow talkin' his
Shit, we watched the sky gettin' dark
He said, "Let me hit you in the back where it hurts and leave
You in a rug sample stinkin', reekin' in the back of a church
Then engulf your crib and haunt you like a ghost in your home
Leavin' you old and decrepit like them ruins in Rome
Watch your body shrivel up and turn your ashes to stone
Fuck your flesh then leak your blood, suck the blood out your bone
I'll be that nigga that'll torture your spouse
And leave a thousand body bags like truth.com in front of your house"
Got me buggin' on a whole 'nother level
Tell me how the fuck a nigga really end up havin' beef with the devil
Shit bugged the whole effect the liquor had on my dreamin'
Body reactin', mentally goin' to war with the demon
Semi-chaotic like a typical storm
So embellished in the dream, a nigga felt it in the physical form
The dream got my nose runny and shit
Eyes watery, shorty watchin' my body twitch funny and shit
Givin' shorty sleepin' with me the creeps
She buggin' off how a nigga just sweatin'
And breathin' so hard in his sleep
Determined to conquer this nigga, so let it begin
Absolutely focused on killin' the demon within
So now, we fight in the name of my brethren
And every blow connect durin' the fight
You hear the thunder roll in the heavens
Inhale a deep breath of fresh air
The devil's presence blow a cold draft
Leavin' the scent of death in the air
While my mind was reassemblin' now
Simultaneous, wifey watchin' a nigga body tremblin' now
Couldn't conquer me, so now the devil wanted me dead
Stabbed a nigga with the same bone we ripped from his head
Yo, it's funny how the devils'll test us
But it's only select niggas blessed
With somethin' so miraculously precious
'Til I'm dead, I'm always battlin' through
You disbelieved and cut my main vein
That all my blood be travelin' through
Somebody got to die to settle the score
Because it's me or this nigga, I'm
Fightin' to the death, I'm ready for war
