Joe Budden - Devil In My Room Lyrics
Last night I heard a voice sayI'll be getting it my own wayI think I'm falling off the deep endSo I haven't been sleepin'Last night I heard a voice in my headSaid it's an emergency,Said he had some work for meHe said f**k the worldOr maybe he said it in jestI told him that I already did multiple timesTruthfully I wouldn't never impressBut we contradict that matter againTo the point where nothing matters againMore money, more problems,More cases, more lawyers involvedAnd more fame just means more paranoia involvedI ‘ve made friends, lost friends, same hourTried to use my troops as a means to gain powerSame tricks, same cowardsWhy I be like f**k any n***a that ain't ours?Never slipping, never threatenedI think they forgetting for a secondNon-fiction ain't a weaponThoughts could be hypnotic, just neuroticCalled oft psychotic,Floored by off logic,But I got thisLast night I saw the devil sitting in my roomAnd we greeted with a smileSaid that he had been there for a whileLast night I heard the devil talking in my headSaid this is an emergency,Said he had some work for meHe saidHe said one day your friends gonna be your demiseSaid a few of them is me in disguiseDeceit in his eyes,Said I like the teaching me wiseBut the leeches I don't need in my life,Please be advisedReal coy, listening, still annoyedSaid these hoes fill a void,A hole you still avoidSaid you searching,You don't know what to doYou thinking you f*****g themWhen really they're f*****g youLook, said they see you on featsSaid you give the love to the onesThat need it the leastBut wait,You can't put me on trial for my errorsI learned, trial and error,The how I couldn't tell you talking to the realest, neah just a realistNeah, you just a n***aDon't recognize what the real isThoughts could be hypnotic,Thoughts get out of pocketYou'll be powerless,Get lost,You try to stop it,I got thisLast night I saw the devil sitting in my roomAnd we greeted with a smileSaid that he had been there for a whileLast night I heard the devil talking in my headSaid this is an emergency,Said he had some work for meHe saidHe said what you doing this music for?,I got news for youIf you don't sell your soul to meThen you just gonna ruin your future, broSee, I just cracked open this GooseAnd I mixed that elixir with juiceThen I was introduced toluciferIn a dark room,His tongue as sharp as a harpoonWe started discussing thingsHe told me about his minions and his underlingsTold me that he was Gepetto of the ghettoHad snake n****s on his puppet stringsTaught him betrayal and other schemesHe ain't new to this,He true to this,Said he been doing thisSince Jesus was crossed for thirty pieces of silverAnd he sealed the deal with a Judas kissWhen Caesar was stabbed in the backHe was the one who placed the knife in Brutus' fistNow he got his hands in our music bizTold me to ignore the war and the poorAim my music more towards the whores and drug lordsAnd the fans are pourin' through the doorsSell out my tours,Get awards galoreI told him I just wanted to be the modern day Marvin GayeHe said you might wanna rethink thatCause I know where your father stayI'll possess him to pick up the chromePop you in the domeFor trying to tell the people what's going onHe said that's where you're going wrongIt's more demons than angels in this biz,You're on your ownWanna hit the big screens switch your sixteensGet some slim jeans,Get your big dreamsOr make your wrist gleam,Get your big cream,Hope you're listeningI just had to switch to his team,It was temptingThe contract was in bloodHe said I know you sick of trafficking drugsSign itNeah, I got thisLast night I saw the devil sitting in my roomAnd we greeted with a smileSaid that he had been there for a whileLast night I heard the devil talking in my headSaid this is an emergency,Said he had some work for meHe saidNananananaNananaannaLast night I heard a voice sayI'll be getting it my own wayI think I'm falling off the deep endSo I haven't been sleepin'Last night I thought I heard a voice in my headSaid it's an emergency,Said he had some work for meI think the weed started f*****g with a n***aI think the weed started f*****g with a n***aI think the weed started f*****g with a n***aI think the weed started f*****g with a n***aI think the weed started f*****g with a n***aI think the weed started f*****g with a n***aI think the weed started f*****g with a n***aI think the weed started f*****g with a n***a
