[01:12.94] Because the devil know how guilty and filthy he is in all his affairs
[01:15.84] Fucking with my mind when I was a youngster
[01:18.04] 'Cause he know if we knew the truth
[01:19.78] We'd make his ass run from amongst us
[01:20.95] That's why we thinking that it's better to ball
[01:22.79] While the devil be sitting and watching, plotting how to murder us all

[02:13.67] Such a karma to be getting this paper

[02:16.16] A lot of niggas in the hood probly relate to me greater
[02:18.40] Than those that believe when they die they probly
[02:20.68] Meet the creator that's crazy, how we become slaves
[02:22.23] To mental death and power that comes

[02:36.48] Now check it, the jewel I give you be the beat the beat for the time
[02:39.22] You can't see it like you living on a street for the blind
[02:41.53] Young whitty hustler niggas that stick with the grind
[02:43.84] Fly cuisine food poisoned 'cause you eatin' the swine
[02:46.73] I stay struggling and doing for Delf
[02:48.69] Then I dig in my body deeper and do a little knowledge of self
[02:51.89] They wonder why they catch a nigga on the weed sell
[02:54.09] Better be careful what you saying on them e-mails
