Without Him w/ CSL

 

I’m juggling vices in one hand, the devil perched in my left hand

Leans over my shoulder and whispers in my ear, some deception

I hear those voices at the worst times, their aim is to distort minds

Why am I scared of some words? Sharp thoughts, need to enforce mine

The devil wants me to dance, but I’m no fan of the two step

Don’t say much, mouth used to be glued shut, now I got loose lips

I refused a dance this evening with the devil, but you did

The mind can be a weapon, just need the right teacher to show you how to use it

Xanax, used to abuse it, self therapy, now I got music

Now I fire off at the first instant I hear them tunes hit

Guess I was too blind to see just cause we on different wavelengths

That we were dancing to different rhythms, but were somehow on the same page

Cause one addiction turns to another, I bet my ego will make me plummet

And even though I can’t picture myself at the summit, defeat is something I can barely stomach

That’s why I’m planning to flush him out, lure him and take him out

I found where he resides, been staking out, gotta shake this doubt

He’s been the root of all my problems, and I finally found how to solve em

He’s satan in a disguise, a deity in wolves clothes, I’ll finally cross him

Just know his death will be brutal, you ain’t gotta ask me how

Cause maybe I’m actually the devil, and he’s gotta dance with me now

 

 

 

 

To dance with the devil, I dance with a devil, I dance with the devil

My lust and my pencil, distrust as a rebel, disgust with my level

I dance with the devil, I dance with a gentle, man

 

 

 

Struggling don't you see, humbling 'cause time imperative, creatives dealt narratives

Obstacles to climb above, ride a dove, now the price won't die or hide, left with lies

Saying nigga you got something, connecting the lines of nothing, particles of nine 'n yes

Laying stressed, thought depressing running for the best, pictures scriptures and invests

Papers figures 'n da numbers, sought the favor of the public, yet my hustling ain't brought me shit

The nature of the failure been engraved into my wrist, busted craving of new wit

Craved a fix, carving canvases wit' wit, yet I see my neighbor still outdo me

I can't win the masses damn, fucked up by the balances, harvesting the practices

Seen my dreams get drugged by cannabis (Fly away)

 

 

 

 

To dance with the devil, I dance with a devil, I dance with the devil

My lust and my pencil, distrust as a rebel, disgust with my level

I dance with the devil, I dance with a gentle, man

 

 

 

Guilty knowing that my flowing ain't a merit, my obsession isn't leverage

It's not that I'm scared of attention, I just know my shit will not be cherished

Feel my rhymes not strong enough, hope people see I care fo' long enough

Notes 'n lines go far enough, appreciate the stars I love, famished yet the food surplus

Thirsty but the ocean full, art I meditate upon emotion, languishing behind opponents

A meditation on the stars, the scars, the cars, the heart, I'm unworthy of such praise

Time won't birth me a new page, don't my mother bring me stage, as the others gather gauge

As I'm purposefully engaged
