Lyrics

Demons

[Verse 1]

Yeah, I got so much on my mind, got me working out like all night

You know I gotta climb so that one day I'll be alright

Feel like I got people coming at me, yeah, from all sides

I just shut 'em out, yeah, like my Demons, I got all types

I feel this pressure been building, it's been a minute since I dropped

Gotta carve all my intentions, give this everything I got

Gotta show 'em who I am and cut out everything I'm not

Gotta show 'em where I stand, clock's ticking, don't stop

I gotta polish the motive, man, this is more than the showbiz

I gotta kill all my omens, can't let 'em find where my soul is

I finally cut out all the pеople that were tryna control it

And now I steer this ship, alonе, can't let 'em know where I'm roaming

I'm 'bout to lock in, took my time, now I'm back, but I been cautious

I know my Demon's right behind me, they been stalking

But I keep on fighting, yeah, I got no option

I'm locked and loaded if the Devil wanna walk in

I'm on a whole different level, now this is personal

The way that I been writing all these songs, I'm getting surgical

Guns sitting around, I want my charts, they're looking vertical

And to everyone that doubted me, I won't be merciful

I know I gotta prove myself again

Gotta keep my spot, gotta seal it in cement

Fighting all my Demons while I do it from the trench

It's time for me to come back for revenge

[Chorus]

Swear there's so much in my way, I just wanna dive in

I don't wanna wait, gotta keep on climbing (Wait)

Do it 'til the grave (Grave)

I'm the only one that can ever seal my fate (Fate)

And I can't let nobody else try that

And all my Demons dragging me lower (Lower)

I'll pray that I'll make it out fine

And all my Demons dragging me lower (Lower)

But I'm still trying

[Verse 2]

I used to care how they perceiving me

Used to wanna blow up, get my name up in the industry

But as I got closer to the spotlight, the more that I can see

I'll rather be the only one believing me, yeah

Because I realized this whole game fake

And it ain't about your talent, only about how much you pay

Or the method that you pay

One way or another, they're gonna try to take your soul

So, I'm saying, "No thanks, no way"

I'd rather be the righteous one in every move I'm making

Rather have integrity than tryna fill some stages

Rather have no money, but a family that I'm raising

Look into the mirror, proud anytime I face it

I'd rather be broke than like fake and rich

Y'all can take the throne, I don't need fame to live

This game is filled with clones and it's all pay-to-win

I feel this in my bones, it's time to make a switch

Everyday, yeah, I gotta keep fighting

Put my soul on the track when I'm writing

Keep the fame, keep the clout, I don't like it

I'm in a whole different lane

[Chorus]

Swear there's so much in my way, I just wanna dive in

I don't wanna wait, gotta keep on climbing (Wait)

Do it 'til the grave (Grave)

I'm the only one that can ever seal my fate (Fate)

And I can't let nobody else try that

And all my Demons dragging me lower (Lower)

I'll pray that I'll make it out fine

And all my Demons dragging me lower (Lower)

But I'm still trying
