Joyner Lucas - Devil's Work (en) Lyrics
by RentAnAdviser.com
Father, forgive me
I'm staring at this Bible
as I keep glancing
Dear Lord, I got questions
and I need answers
Tryna understand your vision,
all I see is damage
Just a bunch of dead bodies
in the street camping
A bunch of lost souls on
their feet standing
We supposed to be your children,
I thought we family
You're supposed to be my Father,
bruh, I need answers
We don't need to die young,
we just need chances
Tired of living on the edge
so we keep scrambling
Tryna talk to these strippers
but they keep dancing
We just wanna be number
one like Steve Francis
Bow our heads, say a prayer,
now the seed's planted
Everywhere I turn, I'm
seeing MC's vanish
Lot of good niggas gone,
I don't understand it
Lot of families lost and
they sea stranded
I ain't tryna disrespect you,
I just need answers
I know you're watching us from heaven
thinking, "Who to save?"
Cherry pickin' who should go
next and who should stay
I'd be on my way to heaven
if I knew the way
And bring back every good
nigga you choose to take
They say you never wrong, but
you done made a few mistakes
'Cause you taking the wrong niggas,
maybe you should trade
Trade us back all the real
ones, remove the fakes
I think you should trade
Give us 2Pac back, and take
that nigga Suge (Ooh!)
Let the legend resurrect and he
gon' live for good (Ooh!)
I been screaming "Thug life"
in every different hood
(Thug life, thug life)
If only you could bring him back,
Lord, I wish you would
Give us Biggie, give us
Pun, give us Triple X
Take that nigga Trump with you,
that's a bigger threat
There's too much power for a
coward with no intellect
That's a bigot with a collar,
there's a disconnect
Niggas dying, Mama crying,
Grandma need a tissue
Niggas shootin' up a church,
now I need a pistol
All them niggas still livin',
you don't see the issue
But how you take Selena and then
you take Aaliyah with you?
I ain't tryna disrespect, just need
to meet up with you (Lord)
I ain't tryna overstep, just want
to reason with you (Lord)
Give us back our loved ones and
take the evil with you (Lord)
Send them suckers straight to hell,
they don't need a vigil (Woo!)
I need you to give us back Martin Luther,
take Martin Shkreli (Take!)
Give us back Malcolm, take R. Kelly
R.I.P. Lil Snupe, give that
boy his life back
Take Eric Holder, give
us Eric Wright back
I'm sending you this message, Lord,
I hope you hit me right back
They say I'm on the wrong train, I know
I'm on the right track (Yeah)
'Cause Trayvon gone, and all he
did was try to fight back
Zimmerman walk around free, we don't
like that (We don't like that)
Why you take our mothers from us?
Our fathers and our sisters
and our cousins from us?
Got these children getting murdered
while they double dutchin'
Wonder why the fuck you take
Nipsey Hussle from us?
Damn, you took a true king,
a true brother from us
This a fuckin' marathon, but
they runnin' from us
Now everybody got guns,
niggas up to something
And every gangsta wanna prove
that they tough or something
You know it's not fair, tell the truth,
I've been in my feelings too
But if you took Emmett Till,
at least take Dylann Roof
At least take James Holmes,
I ain't even mad at that
Just bring back Whitney, and give
us Michael Jackson back
Feds want me in the slammer, damn
Ain't no justice for Sandra Bland,
we up like the ceiling fan
Lord, if you listenin', I'm just
lookin' for a hand to hand
Take out the fuck niggas and
give us back our fam again
Drownin' in my tears, tryna
pray for something (Woo!)
Wonder why you give us life for
you to take it from us (Woo!)
Wonder why you give us family then
erase them from us (Woo!)
Maybe hopefully you can have a
conversation with us (Yeah)
Maybe I'm just probably tripping 'cause
I need a hug (I need a hug)
The hood can't find jobs, now we
need a plug (We need a plug)
Everybody and their mama
tryna be a thug
I don't go to church 'cause
I'm afraid of being judged
I've been starin' at the
ceiling as I lie in bed
Watchin' niggas follow trends
like Simon Says (Yeah)
I pray you give us back the
real ones and try again
Or maybe take them niggas that
deserve to die instead
Tomi Lahren run her mouth and
then she get defensive
Laura Ingraham laughin' at
death and disrespectin'
I really feel like you should teach
them stupid hoes a lesson
Either that or give us back somebody
who deserve the blessings
I left out a bunch of names
that I forgot to mention
Cost too much to pay attention,
then it got expensive
Father forgive me, for
I know not what I do
And now I'm reachin' out to you,
hopin' you hear me and return
the message (Joyner)
I know that you got our back and
that you're not against us
Or maybe you just love us so
you doin' shit to test us
I just kinda thought that you
would do more to protect us
They say that the good die young
and I ain't on the guest list
I've been drinkin', Lord forgive
me, it's my blood racin'
I don't know what I'm thinking,
I'm just frustrated
I don't mean to question
you, I'm just confused
I don't know what else to do, I've
been patient and it sucks waiting
Took my mans from me,
that forever hurts
But puttin' the blame on
you, that'd never work
I know this ain't your fault,
it's the devil's work
Devil's work
Please support me on PATREON Thank you!
