this shit is wicked on these mean streets

none of my friends speak

we're all trying to win

but then again

maybe it's for the best though

'cause when your're saying too much

you know they're trying to get you touched

whoever said illegal was the easy way out couldn't understand the mechanics

and the workings of the underworld

granted

nine to five is how ya survive

i ain't trying to survive

i'm trying to live it to the limit and love it alive

life ills

poison my body

i used to say 'fuck mic skills

' and never prayed to god

i prayed to gotti

that's right it's wicked

west life i live it

ain't asking for forgiveness for my sins

endz

i break bread with the late heads

picking their brains for angles on

all the evils that the game'll do

it gets dangerous

money and power is changing us

and now we're lethal

infected with d'evils. dear god

i wonder can you save me?

illuminati want my mind

soul

and my body. dear god

i wonder can you save me?

secret society

dear god

i wonder can you save me?

and my body. dear god

i wonder can you save me?

i can't die

i can't die

i can't die

we used to fight for building blocks

now we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killing

the closest of friends when we first started

but grew apart as the money grew

and soon grew black-hearted

thinking back when we first learned to use rubbers

he never learned so in turn i'm kidnapping his baby's mother

my hand around her collar

feeding her cheese

she said the taste of dollars was shitty so i fed her fifties

about his whereabouts i wasn't convinced

so i kept feeding her money 'til her shit started to make sense

who could ever forsee

we used to stay up all night at slumber parties

now i'm trying to rock this bitch to sleep

all the years we were real close

now i see his fears through her tears

know she's wishing we were still close

don't cry

it is to be

in time

i'll take away your miseries and make 'em mine

i can't die

i can't die

my flesh

no nigga could test

my soul is possessed by d'evils in the form of diamonds and lexuses

the exorcist

got me doing skits like homie

you don't know me

but the whole world owe me

strip!

was thought to be a pleasant guy all my fucking life

so now i'm down for whatever

ain't nothing nice

throughout my junior high years it was all friendly

but now this higher learning got the remy in me

liquors invaded my kidneys

got me ready to lick off

mama forgive me

i can't be held accountable

d'evils beating me down

boo

got me running with guys

making g's

telling lies that sound true

come test me

i never cower

for the love of money

son

i'm giving lead showers

stop screaming

you know the demon said it's best to die

and even if jehovah witness

bet he'll never testify

d'evils. dear god

i wonder can you save me?

i can't die

i can't die

i can't die
