Devil's Advocate
Toki Wright

[Chorus:]

How do I explain*

What is it I can say

That'll help me make it through the day

How do I explain

What is it I can say

That'll help me change my evil ways

How do I explain

What is it I can say

That'll help me take off all these chains

Pleasure with the pain

How do I explain


I'm a Devil's Advocate...

Miss Brown Skin

Light brown skin

Dark brown skin

We can link around 10

I said, I ain't got no lady

You ain'r got no man

Tell me what's the deal

What's the plan

You want to talk

Want to touch

Want to make love

Want to have sex

Want to fuck?

You want all of the above

But you want it with somebody

You can trust

Might as well face it

I'm addicted to love

Or is it lust

Trying to keep you in my grasp

In my clutch

When we split like a dutch afterwards

I wondered if we moved in a rush

Not waiting for the next bus

What they say,

Every 15 here comes another one

'Bout to get in something that's troublesome

Is a relationship possible

Is it realistic or an obstacle

Not for you

I'm on the phone

Said I need some time alone

When you gone

Wish I had you in my home

Said you've got a Jonz in your bones

Play D'angelo

Angie Stone told me

Come and get it while it's warm

I called you back and said come on

Let's meet halfway

We can burn it til

We filling up the ashtray

And I've never been the one for betrayl

I've just got to find a way to say no

Devil's Advocate


[Chorus:]

How do I explain

What is it I can say

That'll help me make it through the day

How do I explain

What is it I can say

That'll help me change my evil ways

How do I explain

What is it I can say

That'll help me take off all these chains

Pleasure with the pain

How do I explain



Sins of the father

Cast down upon the son

As the sun sits overcast

Beaming down upon us

Hand inside the gauntlet

With a hair trigger

Father figure

Views The Bible Channel

As he sips upon his liquor

Son watches father

Watching channel

As the hammer hits the anvil

And it's thinning out the blade

I recollect the times I could of died

By suicide but stayed alive

Before I hit the 7th grade

I met a friend

Who jumped over the ledge

But someone grabbed her leg

Before the halo or the flames came overhead

I understood that all her tears were shed

And realized that I lived in denial

Later restless in my bed

Know the secrets some should never know

Deep inside I hold

Wishing I was never ever told

Praised by others

Telling me I'm bold

But I often wished my ears were shut

Mouth were taped

And eyes were closed

So


[Chorus:]

How do I explain

What is it I can say

That'll help me make it through the day

How do I explain

What is it I can say

That'll help me change my evil ways

How do I explain

What is it I can say

That'll help me take off all these chains

Pleasure with the pain

How do I explain


The high rise is bigger

Than the skyscrapers in the distance

Living in a complex

Can be some complex

Section 8 'til we get it straight

I said, we gon make it big

Get up out here any day

[Repeat]


[Chorus:]

How do I explain

What is it I can say

That'll help me make it through the day

How do I explain

What is it I can say

That'll help me change my evil ways

How do I explain

What is it I can say

That'll help me take off all these chains

Pleasure with the pain

How do I explain
