About This Track

'Demon' opens with King Von's voice layered over a trap beat, the chorus built on a stark admission: witnessing violence has fundamentally altered him. The song moves between reflection and boast, Von recounting a shooting he saw and the emotional toll it exacted, then pivoting to catalogue his own street credentials with the precision of someone keeping score. The production stays minimal, letting his delivery carry the weight. The verse is a masterclass in specificity. Von names collaborators, recalls particular locations around Chicago, and grounds his claims in detail rather than abstraction. He moves fluidly between vulnerability (missing his grandmother, reaching for pills to cope) and aggression, never letting either register dominate. The song was released as a single from his debut album, and it captures what made Von's storytelling distinct: a refusal to flatten the contradiction between trauma and the life that caused it.

"Demon" is a track by King Von, from the album Welcome to O’Block, released 30th October 2020. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Demon

[Intro]

(Banger)

Von, uh, damn

Von, damn, damn

[Chorus]

If I tell you I love you, I mean it (I mean it)

Whitey got killed, I seen it

I was right there, still can't believe it (Damn)

Shit turned me to a demon (Uh)

Police ask me, I ain't seen nun' (Uh-uh)

Back to back hits like a rerun (Boom)

Me and T.Roy was schemin' (DJ on the beat, so it's a banger)

I'm tryna put my whole team on

If I tell I love you, I mean it (I mean it)

Whitey got killed, I seen it (I seen it)

I was right there, still can't believe it (Damn)

Shit turned me to a demon (Yeah)

Police ask me, I ain't seen nun' (Uh-uh)

Back to back hits like a rerun (Boom, boom)

Me and T.Roy was schemin' (Uh-huh)

I'm tryna put my whole team on, yeah (On gang)

[Verse]

Let me tell you the truth (Look)

Most of these niggas they fu'

And they don't really fuck with you (Uh-huh)

Let me tell you the truth (What?)

Went on a drill with my homie

And that nigga ain't even shoot (Damn)

Steady actin' gangsta, that ain't even you

Set up by bitches, they ain't even cute (Huh?)

I won't tell a soul, I be keepin' mute (Nah)

'Wop be shootin' shit, he don’t even hoop (Boom, boom, boom)

I was out the window, he was out the roof (Shoot)

I was on the block, you was at the Loop (Damn, huh?)

I was in the Ford, he was in the Taurus

I was in the Zoo, shootin' shit with Zoo (Boom, boom)

Talkin' about bodies, I got a few (Uh-huh)

Four plus three, three plus two (Damn)

I'm King Von, nigga, who is you? (Boom)

We gon' buy the mall when they free Duke (Yeah, Banger)

Never been stingy, you could get it too

Glock is never jammin', aim it, then I shoot (Yeah, yeah)

I be missin' granny, prolly pop a Xanny (Damn)

Give a bitch a Plan B, hug and a juice (Huh?)

Used to take it back, nah, now I'm through (Nah, nah)

Ain't shakin' hands, nigga, we ain't cool (Nah)

We done caught more bodies than a common flu

Snatch him out his crib and put him on the news (Come here)

Niggas can't walk a mile in my shoes (They can't)

Niggas can't do the shit that I do (Uh-uh)

Niggas can't shoot the guns that I shoot (Uh-uh)

Niggas ain't built like that and that's cool

Niggas wasn't killin' shit in high school

I was keepin' quiet, I was bein' cool (Nah)

I don't give a fuck, nigga, fuck Duck

Even if it rain, bitch, we comin' through (Buh, buh, buh)

[Chorus]

If I tell you I love you, I mean it (Uh)

Whitey got killed, I seen it (I seen it)

I was right there, still can't believe it (Can't be)

Shit turned me to a demon (Damn, damn)

Police ask me, I ain't seen nun' (Uh-uh)

Back to back hits like a rerun (Uh-huh)

Me and T.Roy was schemin' (Uh-huh)

I'm tryna put my whole team on (Yeah)

If I tell I love you, I mean it (I mean it)

Whitey got killed, I seen it (I seen it, uh)

I was right there, still can't believe it (Uh-uh)

Shit turned me to a demon (Damn, damn)

Police ask me, I ain't seen nun' (Uh-uh)

Back to back hits like a rerun (Rrah, rrah)

Me and T.Roy was schemin' (Uh-huh)

I'm tryna put my whole team on, yeah (Gang)
