Lyrics

[Chorus]
Fuck the slice, want the pie
Why ask why till we fry?
Watch us all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs, women, wine
Three or four at a time
Watch them all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
[Verse 1]
Who am I to justify
All the evil in our eye
When I myself feel the high
From all that I despise?
Behind the jail or in the grave
I have to lay in this bed I made
And if I die before I wake
I hope the Lord don't hesitate
[Verse 2]
To get to heaven, went through hell
Tell my peeps all is well
All them fools whose soul's for sale
Sitting next to the Jezebel
Demons screaming in my ear
All my anger, all my fear
If I holler, let them hear
In this spinning sphere
[Chorus]
Fuck the slice, want the pie
Why ask why till we fry?
Watch us all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs, women, wine
Three or four at a time
Watch them all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
[Verse 3]
Main ingredients to this dish
Goes like this, here's the list
Materialistic greed and lust, jealousy, envious
Bread and dough, cheddar cheese
Flash and stash, cash and cream
Temperatures at a high degree
Where **** come to feast
[Verse 4]
Hell is this all about?
Apocalypse, ain't no doubt
Everybody's ho'ing out
All the loot, all the clout
Right or wrong, do or die
Only vengeance could pacify
Watch your back and so will I
In these days and time
[Chorus]
Fuck the slice, want the pie
Why ask why till we fry?
Watch us all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs, women, wine
Three or four at a time
Watch them all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
[Bridge]
Cut the pie
Tryna eat
Come on, come on
Come on, come on, if you wanna
Cut the pie
Up on the plate
Check it out
Mark of the beast
That's how it be in this everlasting game
[Verse 5]
Ain't no justice, it's just us
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Time has come for most of us
To choose in which God we trust
I know I was born to die
Searching to find the peace of mind
With eighty-five, dumb and blind
There can be no compromise
[Chorus]
Fuck the slice, want the pie
Why ask why till we fry?
Watch us all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs, women, wine
Three or four at a time
[Bridge]
Wait a minute, uh
Lemme tell you 'bout the slice of the devil's pie
Is everybody out there
Gettin' down with the slice of the devil's pie?
For a slice of the devil's pie
Said a woman in the street sellin' her fuckin' body
For a slice of the devil's pie
**** killin' each other in the streets
For a slice of the devil's pie
Say what?
[Outro]
All in line, all in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
All in line, all in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
All in line, all in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
All in line, all in line (I'on give a fuck, I ain't goin' down for)
For a slice of the devil's pie (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
