Paid in Amerikkka - Devil Wears Green (feat. Truth Hayes & AE)
I seen the world for what it was and then i went crazy
Dirty dancing with the devil call me Patrick Swayze
Sinning on a daily hoping I ain't curse my baby
Desperation got me lost and caught up in the matrix
Swinging in the dark and I never know what I'm facing
All I see is black mind and my vision hazy
Take the demons out my life and they come back like Jason
Screaming when I'm all alone Lord please save me
I never feel like he hear me so I'm sick of praying
Losing patience getting wasted but ain't shit changing
Looking for the truth til the day I'm pushing daisies
Thank GOD for the struggle cause that shit made me
I swear this life's amazing
Down to the basics
Got everything I need but I'm still getting faded
Hennessy and weed got a nigga contemplating
On some thoughts and things that'll probably have me incarcerated
Frowns and cries and smiling faces
Losing patience with no traces
Running from the Devil lately
He won't let me go
Frowns and cries and smiling faces
Losing patience with no traces
Running from the Devil lately
He won't let me go
Trust in me
The green is all you need
Get you another dream
Why don't you stay with me
Doesn't that sound so sweet
Give up give into me
And I won't let you go
No, I won't let you go
That pretty pussy enticing and that paper is vital
I'm losing sleep thinking bout it
While swimming deep in my vices
Done gave up being righteous
Can't pay the cost of the living
But I'll be damned if I end it
I fell in love with the sinning
And lusting after these women
Got me caught up in some thangs I probably never shoulda been in
I knew it all from beginning but I said fuck the pretending
I gotta follow my feelings
And if they call me a menace
Fuck it at least I was real with it
I ain't selling no counterfeit
World full of that bullshit
And it's like we go blind for that dollar & dime
I seen it time after time
Committing crime after crime
Just so we can get by
And people like Steve Jobs built a fortune off lives
Talking sweat shops baby
To make yo phone with the I
Them Jordan's $199
But it costs way less than $5 for them to make yo size
Some of y'all don't lost y'all mind and it make me cry cry cry
I been looking for GOD but he can't found
Yet the devil wears green and that's the shit I need
To satisfy my greed and my ego feed off of material things
The fuck is wrong with me
I'd sell my soul to be free
Even if it's only a day
That's the price you pay when you tryna escape
Got on m knees to pray but I ain't know what to say
I know you probably relate but you'll never say it to face
You niggas scared of yo fate
But I'm ready mine
I'm either burning in hell or I live in the sky
Might be the day that I die
And I could never tell you why
That's just the way that the dice roll
The maestro kinda psycho
I'm liable to live out those
Dreams you can't stop those
My rival the same thing that I'm out for
Green backs and them bright stones
Brown skin with that nice tone
Drive me crazy I'm quite gone
I might never back go back home
Frowns and cries and smiling faces
Losing patience with no traces
Running from the Devil lately
He won't let me go
Frowns and cries and smiling faces
Losing patience with no traces
Running from the Devil lately
He won't let me go
