Hell Lyrics

I been scared to open up

Scared of letting guards down, they don't show me love

Fear dented my crown and that's all it took

Couple gems dropped through the page, that's a holy book

How you know you're strong if you're not pushed

And how we know we're wrong 'less they're telling us we're wrong

I been stranger to myself, in my heart I don't belong

In my head I tried denting any hoping for that prong

Keep away from me devil

It ain't the day for me devil

I took the shame that you gave me and came away with a medal

I know the game that you're playing the score I'm aiming to settle

I'm breaking all of your rules my mother raised me a rebel

Never without a cause

Give me pauses in the rounds, that's a round applause

Give me problems, I been found and I want more

Difference in a swan song and an encore

Don't play with me devil

Don't try to dance with my conscience

I flower, pain in my petals

You wanna raise hell I'm just raising my levels

You call it prayer I notice all my hope been embezzled

I'm not afraid of you devil

You never had a groovy day like me

Can't run away from you devil

But I can fight you till I've said my piece

Look, I know a thing 'bout idle hands

How you turn a page of rhymes into some suicidal plans

You're infectious, it's programming in truth

Tryna make us satellites to channel you in the booth

On the news it's your views being spewed and misused

A new piece, puzzling till it fits you

I look into your eyes for that which few ever see

Disappointing you still hide behind the face of deceit

I heard the way to beat the devil always been through music

A little bit of heaven, that's the intro to it

Frame it like a blessing like it's simple do it

But I'm aware the consequences if I'm sent home losing

Ice cold shivers down my spine how I know that you really got my back

I been getting sick of carrying the weight of my doubt

Guess I wanna put it down you don't see the fun in that

Fucking look at me now

To anyone listening I just hope I make you proud of me

I been tryna turn all my words into gold

'Cos I used to be a king now you're witnessing the alchemy

Really never lied

No pork in my pies, pray Allah show me grace

If we question the way that we're chasing aside from the names

It's the same any path that we take

Look, I believe in truths that'll dwarf your little empires

I believe the stories we're using as humans

Are sources of beauty discarded in hell fire

Why's it always power

If we fail at taking theirs they'll take ours

We all victims of myth

In our fear's where the devil can live

We better be remembering to think of the kids

Dead man walking

I let my eyes gaze up to the portrait

Framed in the mirror, the stare still haunting

Tell me what you hold dear then

When you're trapped in them headlights, fawning

How I'm dreaming of hell and not feeling relief

Wake up in the morning

I wonder if I'm ever gonna see it make sense

Sacrificing the future, ignoring the past

Down in the present no surprises that it's tense

Is it timing I invest, is it finally a rest

Did they find me at my worst, am I hiding from my best

And the sky's turning red

That's a warning to a shepherd

Heisenberg, speeding

Don't know where we're headed

It's fate and it's fickle

Faith in the stars' state of collapse

Face in the dirt, pain in the heart

Holy and black, the cardiac curse, raised in the dark

Better pull myself together before it breaks me apart again

For the sake of argument

For the sake of conversation, maybe we're the start of it

Fuck around and take our little party to parliament

Tell them when in Rome

They'll address me as Spartacus

I got art in my arteries

Must have told you thousand times how that ink bleeds

Fuck being obtuse, fuck the intrigue

The release been vascular

That's meaning it's a little more than skin deep

I been told won't miss me

No info, no receipts

It's simple to deafen not easy to defeat

The voice in your head and the vision on repeat

Attack on two fronts 'till submission or retreat

I wonder if I'm ever gonna feel at peace

I get paid for the weekdays and live on the weekends

Half on the bills and spend half on the beats

Half for the thrills and its half for the heat

A house in the hills with a yard on the beach

I don't need that life

Leave your brand new coop

Don't sell your wings, you can fly

They don't wanna see us in the sky

So they're stopping us from day dreaming

Rather see us break down than we break even

Break bread but it ain't leavened

Meaning we can dream of rising up and then stay eating

Power in the crust, mother Earth's tectonic

Any movement of the plates and there's grace said on it

If we reach the pearly gates and don't make that promise

Are they lying and waiting to take that from us

Have you thought about death

The only thing in life guaranteed that it ends

Are you finding the comfort that comes with accepting

Are you stung by a sense of regret

Cos this world just a little glass marble rolled on the hardwood floor of the cosmos

And this the soundtrack I play on the day when I'm dancing with Lucy to prove that I got hope
