When Devils Strike

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

You my best friend and a down soldier

At your apartment we can stack dollars

Family since knee high to grasshoppers

So I trust you, love you like a brother

I wish you knew she's a **** and ****

But I haven't I know she holds your heart

You know the streets but you're not so ho smart

Fuck it though, let's make fast fetty man

Hit these motherfucking streets like some heavy rain

You got kicked dough, burglars and murderers

If a fiend wants to front, take his furniture

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

Whether shooting hoop or selling dope at Wood and Glen

Public housing on Fridays, pushing thousands

Fifty-fifty, together we was moving mountains

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

For when devils strike it's a luck game

They just love to see you when you down man

For when devils strike

I get a car from my boy about 730

Eating pizza with my bitch watching Eddie Murphy

He said he's working and something went wrong

I grab my gat and put my bulletproof vest on

He said meet him at Palace in Room Six

Turns out he was smoking crack with two chicks

He's said no sir, I took a few hits at 2 am

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 them, too

See the money started coming in real late

So I tried some, just to be awake

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

But man it's like 10 times more addictive

That night, he turned into a crackhead

A month later, my boy looked half-dead

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

For when devils strike it's a luck game

They just love to see you when you down man

For when devils strike

Cops caught him with a pipe full of residue

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

He got two years now he's getting healthier

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

I took a route to a place called Lizard Lounge

She had soda, me I was sipping Crown

We agreed on a friendly date, no touching

By the end of the night we was both fucking

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 feeling low

I couldn't tell you 'cause I knew you would kill the ho

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 whose it was

If you're high right now, you might lose your buzz

But in court, she lied and said it never happened

Now she's suing for the money that I get from rapping

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 devils strike it's a luck game

They just love to see you when you down man
