THE DEVIL AT OUR HEELS ft. JuannyOG Lyrics

Who the fuck passed you the mic?

I don't

You won't

Momma tell me i'm great

Always thought i was good

Underselling myself

Just a boy from the hood

Talking down on my soul

Don't believe like i should

Conflicts in my mind cuz i be back and forth

I did favors for my neighbors i ain't keeping score

Y'all can sleep on me, that's cool, i used to sleep on floors

Set in stone throne man i can't even think right

Bitch i raise the bar like i'm upping your drink price

OG been the best, all praise to the king right?

I rap like my life on the line, cuz it really is

Pen and paper, i'm on the line you idiots

Pen and paper, i'm on the line you huh, huh

Pressure make diamonds and my album sound amazing

Bitch i dropped the gem like i lost motivation

Fuck the politics, cuz i go hard for mine

I tried to charge it to the game but my card declined

Fucked up mentally, still up spiritually

These motherfuckers doomed to think they fuck with me lyrically

Masked in disguise for everybody hold dear to me

Getting off stage and they calling me the goat

Full time praise while i'm screaming out my throat

Full time job while a motherfucker broke

Tightrope for my quotes i'm walking on a thin line

I done came too far to go and see my fucking friends die

To go and see my momma cry, don't wanna see my momma cry

Do i love this shit or i'm just in it for the dollar signs?

Do i wanna be the icon that i prophesied?

Do i wanna be the icon that i prophesied?

I been at it for years and i done shed my tears

I done walked through fears and i done shed my peers

And i'm so sincere when i say this

Bitterness was innocent when it first started

These days the hatred got me so cold hearted

I'm envious, i'm jealous and i use that shit as leverage

To put a fire under me to inspire a new message

Not enough of me to go around so i keep it

Broke down and broke to pieces

What's the reason?

Losing love and losing friends is my main cycle

I'm at war with my mind like my main rival

If the beef get deeper imma grab rifle

Won't secure with myself so i grab titles

Like "the goat" or "the one" but if i'm being honest

Most this pressure is getting pestered it makes me vomit

When i'm on stage or i'm scrolling through the likes and comments

It's like i'm good on everything but my fucking promise

My calendar is nothing but vapid and rapid days

Looping my delusions and sporadic gaze

I been moving by influence of my addict ways

What to do when i make changes but the habit stays?

My height is stagnant while my age is going up

Wonder where the cash went, while inflation growing, plus

My belt is getting wider and my watch is getting tighter

I need to close the closet 'fore i let in all these spiders

My reality restricted to the screens

My fatality, addicted to machines

Living day by day, i don't got no future plans

I don't wanna be out, i guess i'm needing fewer friends

Insomniac, i rarely leave the dream

These days, i can barely see my queen

If heaven had a height, she'd be that tall

And if hell had a low, i would be that small

I'm cross threaded, eclectic or pathetic

When i give my time or withhold it, either way i just regret it

Feel like i got the diagnosis but haven't read it

Am i just aware, or am i truly empathetic

Of everything my clergy's suffered

I worry if they heard me cover up that my journey is ruptured

Im tryna be everything that they need me to be

Just to figure out im nothing that i've cheated to see

Defeated at the zenith

I'm pleading for a reason

To keep on going even knowing that i'm beaten, bleeding

They don't know what i been seeing

These debates and debacles and placing the bottles

In place of models to follow

Man im hollow

Giving up and letting go are different things but they feel the same

Treading tremors, digging trenches, have i dug a shelter

Or a grave? i been everywhere but moving forward

I burn to nothing, i'm parallel to supernovas

I know i'm bound to cave, just tryna take no one with me

Ask me where i'm from, raleigh is my chosen city

Try to shoot me down, im so high that you could never hit me

Im 22 as hip hop is turning 50

I've suffered damage as the labels stand in panic

The horizon is mine, see my views in panoramic

I've just giving them supply that they demanded

I'm equipping my batons, that's a staff that you can't manage

So stream at your discretion, i got shoes to grow into

Fuck diplomas go supernova to prove im glowing too

My fan's task is four million views, here's yo' tomb

Richer when i read im a super hero's doom

And bitch my euro's boom, drop international tunes

I'm a global mogul, beef wit me that's a laughable feud

The ship is sinking what happened to the captain and crew

Look at laughter of our captors, this what inaction will do

Who else you know that can rap for 10 minutes

Um, fuck 16 bars, man we rap till we finished

My numbers going up, bitch i don't need your digits

Everything we said we manifested and we did it

I let y'all drop and i sat in the corner

Is that all you got? man i couldn't feel boreder

Twiddle my fingertips as i begin my monologue

I did it, they bit it, and bitch i fidget with tomahawks

Don't fucking play me, when you comparing catalogues

Im known to cut, bitch go check my battle logs

Me and juan vs the world, we'll fucking shatter y'all

Hoping y'all can run, because we coming after y'all

Rapping like the devil snapping at our heels

That's what i tell 'em when they asking how it feels

Rapping like the devil snapping at our heels

That's what i tell 'em when they asking how it feels, yea
