| One, I’ve been here for a period of time
|
| So long that my brain has gone delirious inside
|
| I think back on all the years that I’ve survived
|
| Holding back the tears that keep appearing in my eyes
|
| But now I’m yesterday’s news
|
| And I’m tomorrow’s promise
|
| I’ve got my mince pies open wide
|
| Trying to visualize devils in disguise
|
| Devz I’m like Picasso
|
| 'Cause I’ve been through every shade of blue
|
| I’m walking under rainy skies but the flame never died
|
| It stayed alive 'cause I was made to ignite
|
| Like dynamite I’m from the cold November night
|
| I’m riding tight, notice flows slip and slide
|
| Like a tire in the snow 'cause there ain’t no grip on ice
|
| I’m cold in the Moscow and it’s minus 29
|
| So welcome to my life, I’ve cleverly designed minds
|
| Lost souls just trying to live the higher life
|
| I’ve been here so long
|
| Through the sadness and the blues
|
| But it’s funny how I’m still here
|
| With the government and yesterday’s news
|
| I’ve been here so long
|
| Through the sadness and the blues
|
| But it’s funny how I’m still here
|
| With the government and yesterday’s news
|
| Devlin, I’m dangerous, I’m dead guys
|
| And every week forgotten like yesterday’s headlines
|
| I’ve been through the blues just like Elvis’s best time
|
| But I ain’t wearing suede shoes, I’ve just got the best rhymes
|
| I refuse to die, you could attempt to kill me twenty times
|
| But I’ll still rise like I’m the day walker Wesley Snipes
|
| So let me stick my teeth into the game and bleed it dry
|
| When I witness blood seeking through his veins
|
| This has become apparent
|
| I’ve got a talent that these other rappers haven’t
|
| So what would be the point of bloody keeping it in chains
|
| I’m not sure what you think of other artists
|
| But if we’re talkin' about bars
|
| You can’t speak to me the same
|
| So cut the conversation 'cause I’ve been lower rating
|
| Taking anything I’m pleasing taking off the aviation
|
| To a better place in time
|
| Better for leaving this place behind
|
| I’ve been here so long
|
| Through the sadness and the blues
|
| But it’s funny how I’m still here
|
| With the government and yesterday’s news
|
| I’ve been here so long
|
| Through the sadness and the blues
|
| But it’s funny how I’m still here
|
| With the government and yesterday’s news
|
| I can’t see no reason why I can’t retain success
|
| I just need a real good time away from all this stress
