Chasing the Devil
I been through the fire and came out paid and unscathed praise the Messiah,
but God we digressed, I can't chase the girl you told me to desire
Her sister warned me everyday, that she is evil and i'm wasting my time
But I couldn't deny my flesh, cause her body was fine, but now i'm at the edge of my line
Forgive me Lord for this tough decision,
through all the good times and what I envisioned
In all of my dreams and all of my visions
Of her being my bride, everyone having a good time doing the slide
Never no more, my feelings have subside
Lord, I'm a man and can't no longer swallow my pride
and suppress the anger I feel inside
when being with her is like dating the devil
It look good, but inside I know it's bad
Take her out, instead of being glad, should get mad
Despite the pain, I kept my eye on the prize
till I soon realized, the black look in her eyes
she was no longer the girl I loved, but the king of lies
I can't no longer stay quiet, and finally my feelings arise
For all that I did what was it for,
never no thanks, never no applause
I'm sick and I'm tired of it Lord
Behind her back helping her parents with money for bills
Even if was my last, That prevented me from eating many meals
You have the nerve to play the victim when you used and abused me, how does it feel
You can shove me, but I wont go no where cause my bottom is still
No need to fake the funk, I always keep it real, something she's not
When she looked in the crying thinking she was ugly, I said she was hot
Now it seems like to cause me misery she plots
She haunts my dreams when will it stop
Cause she is not worthy to ever again reach that level
And I have better things to do than chase the devil.
