The Devil Is Dopen But you're caught up in that same ol' patent and trap that the homies go throughn Searchin' for answers without no questionsn You thought it could never happen to you and your crew, but why'all was no exceptionn It started out as fun and it was all about kicks (Kicks)n But each and every kick turned out to be a trickn Imagine this you got no family, you got no endsn You got no hustle, no muscle, no car, no clothes, you got no friendsn You once was the neighborhood boss and hogn And no G livin' legend like walkin' dogsn Niggaz hate to admit it, but they know it's truen Damn near everybody in the hood, includin' the kids, want to be just like youn So, hear I stand as a witness, or, should I say a reclaimed victimn Written off and spit on by this really sick ass system n You can roll what I roll in the swirl from the smoken Somebody take a vote, the devil is dopen n [Chorus:]n The devil is dope (Dope)n Out of controln The devil is dopen The devil is dopen Out to get your soul (Yeah-yeah)n The devil is dopen n [Verse 2:]n Things seen only imagined and in dreamsn Until, the same nightmares in tv screens your teenage screams (Ahh!)n Cause the dosage wasn't right n Now his chest is gettin' tightn And everything is goin' blackn But it's the middle of the day, figure thatn But you still can't see with a thousand watt beam (Blind!)n And you need mo gin to feed your triple beam with schemes (Wake up!)n Cause traffic done slowed up like the one ten at fiven So, you dance the street section at around two, to try to stay aliven And now you trapped tryin' to play hockey with some tic tac's (Tic Tac's!)n And niggaz tellin' you to kick back and bend back, but you already did thatn And all money ain't good moneyn But everybody want the cream and honeyn Thinkin' that the other side is all green plus it's sunny (Yeah!)n But, money, lust, and jealousy most lead to treacheryn From A.C. to O.G. to P.G. to P.C.B. n As you call for your locs, set adrift in the smoken It's like murder, heat, smoke, the devil is dopenn [Chorus:]nn [Verse 3:] n Sunshine on your mind but darkness prevailsn You move your sales from motel to hoteln Prerequisite for a blast, merchandise, cash, or assn Bloodshed often is the door where personalaties crashn And it's your task to try to make a meal ticketn So, you can kick it and be swift with your chicken (Bock-bock!)n You's a victim and since you got your own mindn It ain't all your fault, but you gotta do your own timen Choose your weapon cause your first impressionn Often dictates the situation that you find yourself caught inn If you still blind and you can't see n You better obtain yourself some glasses and clear your vision like DMC (Don't run!)n And remember what I told youn Remember who brought a soldiern I want to wake you up like Segan consume large amounts of dank-an Man overboardn Beware of the underlordsn Stay your ass on the boat, the devil is dope (Ooh-ooh!)nn [Chorus:] Repeat 2X with adlibs in there
