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.
