(Inspired by Devil’s Work 2 by Joyner Lucas)

Let’s see…

Devil been doing work

When I felt like I wasn’t clocking in

Been a crazy few months

And I kept thinking when it was gonna end

Never at the point of throwing the towel

And saying that you win

I can admit in the past, I used to break

Now I can just say I bend

Bent out of shape

I guess that’s why I put the pounds on

Felt like my voice was missing

Now back is the sound on

Stress and BS

Yeah that feeling would mount on

And only a few people here that I can count on

Stay getting put to the test

Pencils down

I hope you gave your best

Sometimes I wish you would given more

But I began to settle for less

And at times I wish you wouldn’t bottle it in

And just say it with your chest

Recycle those thoughts you had for me

Make your life more sustainable

All that negative energy you have me

Trade it in for something attainable

All I hear is you gassing me

And that’s a sign that I am flammable

And keep playing with fire

I hope that’s something you can handle tho

It feels like I haven’t written in forever

But that paper remain a firing squad

Traveling through my emotions

My penmanship just went abroad

Going through these moments

Kiss the cross and leave it up to God

Because I only give you one version of me

Peaking through the facade
