(Hook) I swear the devil up the alley way If I get caught I'll probably pass the blame That ain't gone happen uh uh not today Not toda-a-a-ay I swear the devil up the alley way If I get caught I'll probably pass the blame That ain't gone happen uh uh not today Not toda-a-a-ay I'm steady yeah I'm steady trying to find my worth I know it yeah I know it ain't defined by works So yeah I may be last cause I put Him first Ya know, ya kno-o-o-ow I'm steady yeah I'm steady trying to find my worth I know it yeah I know it ain't defined by works So yeah I may be last cause I put Him first Ya know, ya kno-o-o-ow (Verse 1) I'm feeling like you don't know my pain Man I couldn't find the light when the darkness came All these couples in my sight man I swear they fake But I was trying to chase the same thing that they claimed A good girl that comes along with a hot body But the more I dreamed of it, I felt like a nobody I was just the average male who was taught by society That to be a man a boy has got to learn where his powers be And that lies inside the denim, devil spitting venom Dancing with the devil and I'm sticking to his rhythm As the year progressed I was becoming a man But then when stress hit, all that just came to an end And I was able to keep it hidden and always pretend That everything was okay with what I do and I say And I just went 'bout my day, felt the guilt when I prayed So I put that all aside and kept straying away, dang (Hook) I swear the devil up the alley way If I get caught I'll probably pass the blame That ain't gone happen uh uh not today Not toda-a-a-ay I swear the devil up the alley way If I get caught I'll probably pass the blame That ain't gone happen uh uh not today Not toda-a-a-ay I'm steady yeah I'm steady trying to find my worth I know it yeah I know it ain't defined by works So yeah I may be last cause I put Him first Ya know, ya kno-o-o-ow I'm steady yeah I'm steady trying to find my worth I know it yeah I know it ain't defined by works So yeah I may be last cause I put Him first Ya know, ya kno-o-o-ow (Verse 2) Uh uh devil that was my past life God intervened so know that I got my act right My past is not my present, but yeah it's still a curse sometimes It makes me hesitate from writing down these words sometimes I'm working on it, I promise it just takes some time But God told me I would have to write this tape some time Most rappers writing verses just to waste some time But I'm writing mine in hopes that it will save some time For anybody listening to this album at the moment Don't believe the hype that society be showing Take it from a man who experienced it for real Mental breakdowns, never let a peer see a tear But I was broken inside, all because I was so insecure Stop acting like you so sure that you so secure Learn from the ones who been through it, okay? Now I'm back at the devil like not today, today! (Hook) I swear the devil up the alley way If I get caught I'll probably pass the blame That ain't gone happen uh uh not today Not toda-a-a-ay I swear the devil up the alley way If I get caught I'll probably pass the blame That ain't gone happen uh uh not today Not toda-a-a-ay I'm steady yeah I'm steady trying to find my worth I know it yeah I know it ain't defined by works So yeah I may be last cause I put Him first Ya know, ya kno-o-o-ow I'm steady yeah I'm steady trying to find my worth I know it yeah I know it ain't defined by works So yeah I may be last cause I put Him first Ya know, ya kno-o-o-ow (Outro)
