I Am Lyrics by Toronzo Cannon

The Chicago Way

2016

[Verse 1]
I’m the angel on your shoulder with nothing to say
I’m the devil on the other side you listen to all day
I’m the heroin that makes you sleep
I’m the habit you know you can’t keep
I’m the seed of doubt that’s in your heart
I’m your defeat before you start
[Chorus]
I don’t know why we act this way
It happens every single day
The devil is laughing while god is reaching out to you
So what you gon’ do?
[Verse 2]
I’m the preacher telling you what’s right
I’m the prostitute he picked up last night
I’m the father that wished he stayed
I’m the thought of suicide his son has to face
I’m the atheist with pains in his heart
I’m the light he sees before he say, “my God”
[Chorus]
I don’t know why we act this way
It happens every single day
God is crying while the devil is praying for you
So what you gon’ do?
[Verse 3]
I’m the bullet that missed the thug
I’m the single father shot, giving his daughter a hug
I’m the man every woman want to change
I’m the man that leaves her heart broke in pain
I’m the dark side in everyone’s soul
I’m the evil that we fight to control
[Chorus]
I don’t know why we act this way
It happens every single day
The devil is laughing while god is talking to you
So what you gon’ do?
I don’t know why we act this way
It happens every single day
The devil is laughing while god is reaching out for you
So what you gon’ do?
I don’t know why we act this way
It happens every single day
The devil is laughing while god is reaching out for you
So what you gon’ do?
