Devil’s Shoulder Lyrics by ILLusionist

The Uplift

2013

Intro
When you woven dreams around them
It's hard to know, where to go
When she believes when she says she’s gonna leave
Chorus: Noah King
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I’m a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
How the hell did I get here, what am I doing?
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I’m a soldier in the war in the Devil’s soldier
Man what the hell I'm doing here, why’d I even get here?
Verse 1: Noah King
Alcoholic tendencies man wanted felonies
Cigarettes infested the flesh of little nee's
Can't escape it, bottle after bottle
With every set creates another dig for my mama
Liquor on the curb for the homies in my sorrow
So much oldie in me I'm buzzed till tomorrow
Half my paycheck I took straight to the neck
Then I wonder why my ex girlfriend left
I try to kiss a new one she can smell my breath
Seven in the morning taking forty’s to the head
Confused all the time always spoke gettin shit
Priorities lined always have to get lit
Long as I'm faded I dream of getting famous
But it'll never happen cuz I'm numb to real ass life
And I could give a flying fuck what it seemed like
A child hard in a grown mind being nice
Chorus: Noah King
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
How the hell did I get here, what am I doing?
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's soldier
Man what the hell I'm doing here, why'd I even get here?
Verse 2: A-dub
I envision my life to shine with a brighter glisten
But time is ticking and grimy living's behind me nipping
At my heels, further from Pepsi Cola's and happy meals
To where I need to have swag or the cash to steal
I wouldn't grab to steal the match to protect personas
So I broke into the pad and stole those stash extra borders
Said I could find between the mattress or the sofas
But that wouldn't buy me Nike's nor a fresh controller
My parents gave me chores until some level border
But this would only make me go against the separate orders
Started slipping on my classes and it left me cornered
But if they didn't love ya, then they'll never told ya
You might end up in a casket or a metal fortress
If you get blasted or oppressed by the special forces
I'm a soldier on this war on the Devil's shoulder
Once you open up that door then you can never close it
Chorus: Noah King
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
How the hell did I get here, what am I doing?
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's soldier
Man what the hell I'm doing here, why'd I even get here?
Verse 3
I'm a soldier in the war on the Devil's shoulder
Smell the odor coming off this coke and Henny soda
Smell the doja when I'm getting all this meddy rolled up
I'm the reason that it's heavy up on every corner
I'm the amphetamine when you sniffin yo speed
I'm the promethazine when you sippin yo lean
I'm the LSD that's infesting your spleen
I'm the thought that be the girl just hit it and leave
I'm a soldier on the shoulder of the Devil's side
Tryna do what's right before electric chairs leave my belly fried
I'm everything bad here to Singapore
The rush criminals get us robbed and liquor stores
Try to do right nah I just gave in
I'm the thoughts that'd get you in the state pen
A second guessing yourself that you'll never blow up
Hold up, I thought I told ya
Chorus: Noah King
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
How the hell did I get here, what am I doing?
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's soldier
Man what the hell I'm doing here, why'd I even get here?
Verse 4: Nieve
Feel like I got em going to places I don't want to
Surfing dark places you really don't wanna walk through
Corners of my mind and avenues that will haunt you
I see dead people at least it's someone to talk you
Why all these troubles so heavy try to get up but it won't let me
Memories in my mind that I constantly have been regretting
Waking up in the sweat I swear somebody's out to get me
Drowning without a paddle in the jungle no machete
My lady she wouldn't let me didn't give it a try
I used to believe in love but now I'm living a lie
Living to die the truth it went up in a blaze
The minute I saw the guilty evil look on her face
I look to escape jumping out the window to fall
But what I thought was a window ain't a window at all
It's all in my mind, makes it even that much worse
The Devil is taking over even rap my verse
Chorus: Noah King
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
How the hell did I get here, what am I doing?
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder
I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's soldier
Man what the hell I'm doing here, why'd I even get here?
