About This Track

SiR builds 'D'Evils' around a sampled hook from Billy Boyo's reggae track 'One Spliff a Day', turning the phrase into a mantra against life's friction. Produced by D.K. The Punisher, the song moves at a deliberate pace, SiR's voice settling into the pocket as he sketches a portrait of someone who has weathered enough to know better than to rush. The refrain anchors the mood: maybe not ascending, but floating; maybe moving at two miles an hour, but moving nonetheless. What emerges is less a celebration of intoxication than a philosophy of survival. SiR speaks of problems solved, of company kept, of the slow accumulation of self-knowledge. The song doesn't argue for escape so much as for the right to move through the world at your own speed, to find clarity in stillness rather than in striving. It's a small, sturdy thing, built on repetition and restraint.

"D'Evils" is a track by SiR, from the album November, released 19th January 2018. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

D'Evils

[Chorus]

One spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

[Verse 1]

Tell me who that nigga if it ain't me

If it ain't a party, then it's finna be

Never had a problem that I couldn't solve

It must be official if I get involved

Quarter pound of fire burnin' daily

Harder to remember, gettin' harder to remember

I've been through enough to drive me crazy

I don't think my mama's gonna save me

[Refrain]

Maybe I'm not flyin', but I'm floatin'

If we're not headed to the top, where we goin'?

Two miles-an-hour, can you picture me rollin'?

'Cause life is so much better when you live in slow motion

[Chorus]

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

(Slow motion)

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

[Verse 2]

Pardon me while I elevate

May not be on time, but I'm never late

Blazin' like the player that you wanna be

Flavor like your baby mama cup of tea

You see the company I'm keepin' now

Feelin' like I'm dreamin', I keep feelin' like I'm dreamin'

Don't come around if you don't be around

I been the man you believe me now

[Refrain]

Maybe I'm not flyin', but I'm floatin'

If we're not headed to the top, where we goin'?

Two miles an hour, can you picture me rollin'?

'Cause life is so much better when you live in slow motion

[Chorus]

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

(Slow motion)

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away

Ca one spliff a day'll keep the evil away
