The Devil Got a Plan |
The Devil got a plan |
He don’t want you to know yet |
Grab a couple ice cold 'dinas and prometh |
Throw a little sprite in that bitch and you’re all set |
Living life fast but you’re dying a slow death |
They don’t want to hear about the teachings of Hotep |
'Cause kids care less about Kweli and Mos Def |
All they wanna know is who’s getting the most bread |
And blow they whole check tricking off of these coke heads |
The Devil got a plan |
He don’t want you to read it |
If you smoke a little more weed maybe you’ll see it |
If you sniff some more speed then you might just meet him |
And swear up and down that he just looks like Jesus |
Don’t believe it? |
I know it’s kinda hard to concede it |
But the devil doesn’t always take the shape of a demon |
I was chilling at a party in the Garden of Eden |
Apple cores on the floor, everybody was eatin' |
I was getting kinda bored, getting ready to leave |
That’s when I ran into a lady wearing nothing but a leaf |
She said «I can do things you couldn’t imagine» |
Kinda funny 'cause the honey didn’t know me from Adam |
Looking at me like she wanna rip me out of my suit |
That’s when she asked me if I wanted to try the forbidden fruit |
Everybody in the room looking at me by now |
Took the apple from my hand and put it up to my mouth |
See the Devil had a plan tryna tempt me with a diva |
But little did he know I was more powerful than he was |
And she just sat there laughing and shit |
«What kind of faggot ass man’s not attracted to this?» |
I know the webs you spinning bitch, I’ve seen them before |
And all the men trapped in them now getting divorced |
All the lives you destroyed like the Tower of Babel |
It should be no surprise that I married an angel |
The Devil had a plan but I scrapped it |
Ran to the light, stepped out of the blackness |
It was like being blind having sight for the first time |
I get it, if the devil got plans you ain’t got to be in them |
Raise your hands if you understand |
If I were the Devil |
If I were the Prince of Darkness I would want to engulf the whole world in |
darkness |
And I’d have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, |
but I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree |
I’d subvert the churches first. |
I’d begin with a campaign of whispers |
With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: «Do as you please.» |
If I were the Devil |
To the young I would whisper that the Bible is a myth |
I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around |
I’d confide that what’s bad is good and what’s good is square |
Pray after me. |
Our Father, which art in Washington |
In other words, if I were the devil, I’d just keep right on doing what he’s |
doing |
If I were the Devil |
