When Devils Strike

Behind this walls, I'ma find out what's goin' on

I'm gonna find the cure for our people's downfall

I'm gone find out why we fillin' up penitentiaries faster than they can build them

I'm gonna to find out why half of our population is behind bars, and penitentiaries

Are caught in the system

I'm gone to find out why all of our people are gettin' locked up

I'm gonna find the answers, we're on the inside of this hat

I promise, we're only gonna get stronger

Just me and you, let's take the town over

You my best friend, and a down soldier

At your apartments, we can stack dollars

Families to see how the grass hoppers

So, I trust you, love you like a brother

I wish you knew she's a -, and I could -

But I haven't, I know she hold your heart

You know the streets, but you not, so hoe smart

Fuck it though! Let's make fast 50 maine

Hits this motherfuckin' streets, like some heavy rain

You got kick do' burglarers, and murderers

If a friend want's a front, take his furniture

We a team, that's how it should've been

Whether shootin' hoops, or sellin' dope at Will and Glen

Public housin' on Fridays, pushin' thousands

50-50, together we was movin' mountains

One day, they will come and try to take your life away

For when devil strike, it's a love thing

They just love to see when you down maine, for when devil strike

I get a call from my boy, 'bout 730

Eatin' pizza with my bitch, watchin' Eddie Murphy

He said, "He's workin', but somethin' went wrong

I grab my got and put my bulletproof vest on

He said, "Meet him at Palace Inn, room six"

Turns out he was smokin' crack with two chicks

He said "Los I took a few hits at 2 a.m.

After that, I haven't stopped until you came in

Got 12 rocks left, out of 40 fool

Take what I got, or I'll smoke 'em too

See the money started comin' in real late

So I tried some, just to be awake

I thought it be like coke, that's why I did it

But man, it's like ten times more addictive"

That night, he turned into a crack head

A month later, my boy looked half dead

One day they will come and try to take your life away

For when devil trike, it's a love thing

They just love to see when you down maine, for when devil strike

Cops caught him with a pipe full of residue

I was sad, but I felt it would help him too

He got two years, now, he's gettin' healthier

He's in the pen, and I regret I felt for her

I took her out to a place called, "Wizard Lounge"

She had soda, me, I was zippin' Crown

We agreed on a friendly date, no touchin'

By the end of the night, we was both fuckin'

At my trailer, was the first time that we did it

I know it hurts, so, I won't get that specific

But remember, on the first day you got out?

And we met right in front of your mom's house?

I cried like a pig, I was feelin' low

I couldn't tell you, 'cause, I knew you would kill the hoe

I was mad at me, and I hated her

A month later, she asked if I came in her?

She got pregnant, and didn't know who's it was

If you high right now, you might lose your buzz

But in court, she lied and said, "It never happened"

Now, she sueing for the money that I get from rappin'

I lost the case, But how did I expect to win, when my jury didn't have one Mexican?

And they knew I didn't do that dumb shit

Now, I gotta show 'em who they - with

One day they will come and try to take your life away

For when devil Strike, it's a love thing

They just love to see when you down maine, for when devil strike
