Devil wants my soul
The devil wanted my soul, he would always tell me "Joe"
"Of your spirit I need some more so turn it in as a whole"
My answer was always "no" regardless him getting pist
I granted the devil's wish but ended up taking his
"This is it" he said "I'll burn you" and I replied with a smile
"How you gonna burn someone who's already on fire?"
My soul pertains to God and giving it is wrong to do
I won't let you take what doesn't belong to you
God gave me this talent only he can take it away
So say what you gotta say but my skills are here to stay
Till the day that I display I no longer write the same
Till I no longer maintain creativity in my brain
And that's all that remains, I just just assume it in my journal
Cause maybe what God gave me can happen to be eternal
I don't know for sure, it's all up to the man
So I'm gonna use the fu** out this talent while I still can
My skills are like a ghost, they float and stay untrackable
Inflicting fear on others maintaining me untouchable
No EVP, will detect me, or let you see
The misery, or evil creed, that I can be
A nightmare to these poets I'll haunt them in the afterlife
Leave em all traumatized I manifest like a poltrageist
This feels like no challenge perhaps too much talent
My lyrics stay mean like I'm searching the average
Blow poets to fragments without any acid
Stay the reactant to this chemical balance
You don't have to be a fraction for me to split you to eights
I'm chopping so much there's limbs all over the place
I write material that will serve you temptation
All my lines connect and get to the point like a constallation
I woke up at about 4:59 in the morning
Saw a grey demon next to me terrorizing the moment
So I pulled out my .45 from underneath my bed
Put the glock on it's neck and told it not to come again
Then it took me for a trip to hell but I went and took the throne
Looked at the devil and asked "You want this to be my home?"
"Send me here and I'll slap you out the seat and put out your flames"
"So go apologize to God and tell him you need a place to stay"
Then I woke up and I felt Jesus, he had something to tell
Told me "Joe from now on behave cause you just got banned from hell"
I said "Okay boss I will, just keep me within your reach"
He said "I'll always will just continue doing my deeds"
Now I just stay with the lead rubbing against my notebook
Writting the things I've witnessed,trying to stay noble
Keeping my faith keeping my ways tryna pertain
Tryna obtain a more humane life to sustain
The Devil constantly on my back, tryna purchase my soul
Offering me gold and fame in exchange to obtain my ghost
But the doors to the store have for years now been closed
I gave Jesus my spirit a hundred offerings ago.
