Devil On My Shoulder Lyrics by Richard Alire

S.O.U.L

[Intro]
[Verse : Richard Alire]
Momma told me I was special, I ain't believe her
Coming up without a father, I never was a believer
My only father was what I had on the streets
At least until i came across a father figure in my Jesus
A sign of weakness hardly came across my soul
My only obligation was to stay afar from hope
Cuz' hope will get you killed if you let it become your dreams
Know that life ain't what it seems with a chain across your throat
The only jewelry that suits me is this stainless heart of Gold
And I won't let it break apart, even if it's my only option
I'm optin' out cuz I'm not about to lose sight of the object
Even if I lose sight in my optics, (look)
I see the future through peripheral vision
An individual who's seeking an additional wisdom
I look to God when I'm in need of an admissable critic
But at times there's no response so I inhibit what's given
An inhabitual missionary who's painting a picture
To make you stop and turn around in a centrifical pivot
Now think about it
And raise your hands into the air if you believe that you're with it
