Lyrics

Chasing The Devil

Chasing the Devil away

Chasing the Devil away

He's hanging on the shoulder

While he's standing on the corner

There's no better way

There's a better day

Yeah

The corner, it's gotta be a better way

To hanging on the block in the gutter

That's where you had to lay

Shot, you can't get away

The money is calling

It's the root of all evil plus a new pair of Jordans

If you ain't balling

Bitches will laugh when you try to holla, niggas dyin'

Trying to get dollars, funeral polish

Doing good business for dead presidents

We dyin' the hood riches and some be good snitches

Telling cops where your 'hood stay, names and birthday

The task was all up on Tuesdays and Thursdays

Caught up in the worst way

Streets play for keeps, the devil don't discriminate

The hell is where they send us straight, friend is fake

No one is real for half a mil'

Niggas is telling soul for the cash

And they blast to kill

I took the thrill of what does it all mean

Your life behind bars and you dressed in all green

Chasing the Devil away

Chasing the Devil away

He's hanging on your shoulder

While you're standing on the corner

There's no better way

There's a better day... hey...

God on the left of you, the devil on the right

One pulls you in the darkness, the other in the light

One side is trying to keep you calm, the other wants to fight

Battling with all these demons, and it's fucking with your life

Trying to make an honest living in an industry of fakes

These leeches on your ankle, making business deals with snakes

Tryna weigh you down, but you keep on doing what it takes

If you represent yourself, then you ain't about to lose a case

What's the verse trying to get by doing the best that you can?

Does your obsession getting money make you less of a man?

Only your fate is predetermined, so don't question the plan

Make sure some lies stop the, ready for excessive demand

Gotta keep your eye open for rats, staying focused on racks

No matter what you do, can't slow or relax

No solid foundation to watch it fold and collapse

Exposing the cracks, surrounded in an ocean of tracks

We fuck chasing the Devil away

Chasing the Devil away

He's hanging on the shoulder

While he's standing on the corner

There's no better way

There's a better day

Yeah

Devil is whispering, "I'mma hook you up

I'mma make you a star, they gonna look you up

You a crook with luck, you'll get away with the bucks

Never study the cops, you'll be Houdini with cuffs

They need a bus but they won't see you at all

Hit up that bank, struck my dog, then proceed to the mall

You need a tux, need some ice, a bad broad on your arm

Stick up the jeweler and they won't ring the alarm

The only bars you'll see is the bars that you be spitting

The Venice wealth and riches are yours, kid, it's written

A nice house, that right spouse, your every desire

I got everything you touch will be fire

Homie, the block is hot but I'mma make you hotter

Lace you with a lot of Versace, to Gucci and Prada

In my chatter, it's all under control

What's coming, get gunnin', but I'mma take your soul"

Chasing the Devil away

Chasing the Devil away

He's hanging on the shoulder

While he's standing on the corner

There's no better way

There's a better day... hey
