Devil Music

The Pharcyde

(Slim Kid3)



The way that momma raised us was pure faith



So diablo wouldn't faze us or daze us



Or lay us down to sleep



Know the wolf from the sheep



Or the sheep who cried wolf



And threw the deadly hoof



While the wolf was asleep



I keep my mind a ghost



Follow my heart the most



Don't play fools too close



Sleep with my eyes at post



So Diablo won't be hostin the game of life



The knife sits by throats of the young



and blows death straight through the lungs



as the mind gets washed by visions of sugar plums



But we shall overcome cause we ain't dumb



but we ain't smart, they got the girls by the hearts



And the niggaz by the nuts



Ear, tongue and butts



Yeah, they're trying to fuck us up



but, shit, you know what's up



We gotta get with the movement



and move men soon



They consume every womb who bares



beneath the stairs of their doom



Best believe they're gonna shove em in a tomb




Chorus: repeat 4X




Cause Everytime I step to the microphone



I put my soul on 2" reels



That I don't even own




(Bootie Brown)



Early Saturday mornin I was cartoon gazin



slowly broke into the kitchen



to fill a bowl with some Raisin Bran



as I ran up and down the TV stations



I witnessed Indian Joe



getting tricked out of this nation



by a silly hillbilly



who laughed as the shit happened



Everything's the same



the game continued into rappin



Deception is at an all-time high



You give a piece of your soul



to receive some crumbs from the pie



But you know I keep on rappin til the break of dawn



even though it is my soul that I do not
