The Devil Is Dope
2
But you're caught up in that same ol' patent and trap that the homies go through
3
Searchin' for answers without no questions
4
You thought it could never happen to you and your crew, but why'all was no exception
5
It started out as fun and it was all about kicks (Kicks)
6
But each and every kick turned out to be a trick
7
Imagine this you got no family, you got no ends
8
You got no hustle, no muscle, no car, no clothes, you got no friends
9
You once was the neighborhood boss and hog
10
And no G livin' legend like walkin' dogs
11
Niggaz hate to admit it, but they know it's true
12
Damn near everybody in the hood, includin' the kids, want to be just like you
13
So, hear I stand as a witness, or, should I say a reclaimed victim
14
Written off and spit on by this really sick ass system
15
You can roll what I roll in the swirl from the smoke
16
Somebody take a vote, the devil is dope
17
[Chorus:]
18
The devil is dope (Dope)
19
Out of control
20
The devil is dope
21
The devil is dope
22
Out to get your soul (Yeah-yeah)
23
The devil is dope
24
[Verse 2:]
25
Things seen only imagined and in dreams
26
Until, the same nightmares in tv screens your teenage screams (Ahh!)
27
Cause the dosage wasn't right
28
Now his chest is gettin' tight
29
And everything is goin' black
30
But it's the middle of the day, figure that
31
But you still can't see with a thousand watt beam (Blind!)
32
And you need mo gin to feed your triple beam with schemes (Wake up!)
33
Cause traffic done slowed up like the one ten at five
34
So, you dance the street section at around two, to try to stay alive
35
And now you trapped tryin' to play hockey with some tic tac's (Tic Tac's!)
36
And niggaz tellin' you to kick back and bend back, but you already did that
37
And all money ain't good money
38
But everybody want the cream and honey
39
Thinkin' that the other side is all green plus it's sunny (Yeah!)
40
But, money, lust, and jealousy most lead to treachery
41
From A.C. to O.G. to P.G. to P.C.B.
42
As you call for your locs, set adrift in the smoke
43
It's like murder, heat, smoke, the devil is dope
44
[Chorus:]
45
[Verse 3:]
46
Sunshine on your mind but darkness prevails
47
You move your sales from motel to hotel
48
Prerequisite for a blast, merchandise, cash, or ass
49
Bloodshed often is the door where personalaties crash
50
And it's your task to try to make a meal ticket
51
So, you can kick it and be swift with your chicken (Bock-bock!)
52
You's a victim and since you got your own mind
53
It ain't all your fault, but you gotta do your own time
54
Choose your weapon cause your first impression
55
Often dictates the situation that you find yourself caught in
56
If you still blind and you can't see
57
You better obtain yourself some glasses and clear your vision like DMC (Don't run!)
58
And remember what I told you
59
Remember who brought a soldier
60
I want to wake you up like Sega
61
consume large amounts of dank-a
62
Man overboard
63
Beware of the underlords
64
Stay your ass on the boat, the devil is dope (Ooh-ooh!)
65
[Chorus:] Repeat 2X with adlibs in there
