D'Evils

[Produced by DJ Premier]

[Hook: Snoop Dogg & Prodigy]

"Dear God, I wonder, can you save me?"

"Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body"

"Dear God, I wonder, can you save me?"

"Secret society, tryna keep they eye on me"

"Dear God, I wonder, can you save me?"

"Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body"

"Dear God, I wonder, can you save me?"

"I can't die, I can't die, I can't die"

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]

Uh, yeah

This shit is wicked on these mean streets

None of my friends speak, we're all tryna win

But then again, maybe it's for the best though

'Cause when they're seein' too much

You know they're tryna get you touched

Whoever said illegal was the easy way out

Couldn't understand the mechanics

And the workings of the underworld, granted

Nine-to-five is how you survive, I ain't tryna survive

I'm tryna live it to the limit and love it a lot

Life ills poisoned my body, I used to say fuck mic skills

I never prayed to God, I prayed to Gotti

That's right, it's wicked – that's life, I live it

Ain't askin' for forgiveness for my sins, ends

I break bread with the late heads

Pickin' their brains for angles on all the evils that the game'll do

It gets dangerous, money and power is changin' us

And now we're lethal, infected with D'evils

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]

Yeah, yeah

We used to fight for building blocks

Now we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killin'

The closest of friends when we first started

But grew apart as the money grew, and soon grew black-hearted

Thinkin' back when we first learned to use rubbers

He never learned, so in turn I'm kidnappin' his baby's mother

My hand around her collar, feedin' her cheese

She said the taste of dollars was shitty, so I fed her fifties

About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced

I kept feedin' her money 'til her shit started to make sense

Who could ever foresee?

We used to stay up all night at slumber parties

Now I'm tryna rock his bitch to sleep

All the years we were real close

Now I see his fears through her tears

Know she's wishin' we were still close

Don't cry, it is to be

In time I'll take away your miseries and make it mine

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]

Uh, uh, yeah

My flesh no nigga could test, my soul is possessed

By D'evils in the form of diamonds and Lexuses

The Exorcist got me doin' sticks

Like, "Homie, you don't know me

But the whole world owe me, strip!"

Was thought to be a pleasant guy all my fuckin' life

So now I'm down for whatever, ain't nothin' nice

Throughout my junior high years it was all friendly

But now this higher learning got the Remy in me

Liquor's invaded my kidneys

Got me ready to lick off – Momma, forgive me

I can't be held accountable, D'evils beatin' me down, boo

Got me runnin' with guys, makin' G's, tellin' lies that sound true

Come test me, I never cower

For the love of money, son, I'm givin' lead showers

Stop screamin', you know the demon said it's best to die

And even if Jehovah witness, bet he'll never testify
