The Contract Lyrics

This is what happens when life provokes a demon, reality have you wishing that you were dreaming

Focused on stopping your heart from beating, I'm so cold that everything near me is freezing

So stop and take a close listen this evening, cause I'm climbing to the top, victory I'm achieving

Leaving everybody that isn't on my level either laying there dead or crying and grieving

Sorry if my previous tracks happen to be deceiving, but when I'm finished with these verses I'mma have y'all believing

That even if you hand over the crown or the throne, ain't a chance in hell that I'm ever leaving

I'm hungry like I've been starving my whole life and in nearly 40 years I haven't eaten

But better believe that all that stops right here, cause guarantee that tonight I'll be feasting

I sold my soul to become a creature that could rip apart the booth without a feature

Cause I paid close attention and soon became the teacher

I chose the wrong path and said to hell with the preacher

Went into convulsions, looked like I had a seizure

May regret my decision when I faced the reaper

But I swear that I never felt stronger and the opponents that I'm facing have never looked weaker

Fuck my afterlife, I ain't worried about me

I make the sacrifice for my family

I'll burn in hell for eternity and that's a fact

If this is the cost of signing this here contract, Lucifer hand me that pen carved from bone

Step the fuck back, I'll do this on my own

Dip it in blood, sign my name to ensure that Toph will own the throne

The deal is done, my decision is made

I know when the time comes the devil will get paid

But in the meantime it's time for other rappers to be slayed

To the sound of my own tracks being played

And I'm gonna enjoy every minute of the deal I've made

Until I'm screaming in hell as my corpse is filleted

Y'all probably think I chose wrong, allowing myself to be swayed

But you'll never understand, for years I prayed

But nothing ever changed, the hardships just stayed

So to this instrumental one night the pros and cons I weighed

That was when I made the choice to make the trade

I've been dreaming of rocking the stage since back in the 6th grade

Without no drugs I was up all night

Questioning and wondering if Satan had lied

Saw the sun rise with bloodshot eyes

My lady by my side and she began to cry

I sold my soul to become a creature

That could rip the booth apart without a feature

Cause I paid close attention, the student became the teacher

I chose my own path, sent to hell with the preacher

Went into convulsions looked like I had a seizure

May regret my decision when I faced the reaper

But I swear that I've never felt stronger

And the opponents that I'm facing have never looked weaker

Fuck my afterlife, I ain't worried about me

I'll make the sacrifice for my family

I'll burn in hell for eternity and that's a fact

If that isn't the cost of signing this here contract

So Lucifer hand me that pen carved from bone

Then step the fuck back, I'll do this on my own

Dip it in blood, sign my name to ensure

That Toph will own the throne

I struggled my whole life, never really having much

Then to have my kids go through it

As I tried to do the right thing

Seeing my son die

Seeing my mom pass, my brother pass

Both of them not having much

And my brother deserved it more than anybody

To see my dad still working on cars, living in a shop at 72 years old

To see my chick work her ass off everyday just to get by

No

I've had enough

I've had enough

If my soul's the cost, then where's the contract

I'm ready to sign

Christopher Alan Davis Sr

There, it's done

Now there's only Toph

I sold my soul to become a creature

That could rip apart the booth without a feature

As I paid close attention, the student became the teacher

I chose my own path, sent to hell with the preacher

Wen into convulsions looked like I had a seizure

May regret my decision when I faced the reaper

But I swear that I've never felt stronger

And the opponents that I've been facing have never looked weaker

Fuck my afterlife, I ain't worried about me

I'ma make the sacrifice for my family

I'll burn in hell for eternity, and that's a fact

If that is the cost of signing this here contract

So Lucifer hand me that pen carved for bone

This is what I will give to have my name on the throne

A stipend in blood to sign my name

And now, my soul, the devil will own
