The Devil's Advocate

Maybe there's a ghost of god that's sitting on my shoulder Making sure I take the path that guides me up when I'm older Who am I to listen to no orders when I'm told em Don't wanna be another skinless face below the totem Heaven isn't a book It's a system in your head And you can experience it before you ever wind up dead How you can achieve it is a story I can't tell Because I've been on the path to finding it to climb out of hell The devil's on my ankle Fire below my feet But nobody ever sees it when they pass me on the street Just another kid that reminds me of a time when I was younger Dying for a time and a place to live in bliss, embracing hunger Hunger for success Success is something you can crave Silly little ceilings we create based on our feel of days Systematic assemblies assisting all that at the grave But most may never get to see it unless they see it in a tape Needed something like this to show all those in doubt That I haven't pushed you out cus I'm bending for the crown I need a little time to just focus on myself Cus there's a day real soon where my name will be on the shelf Lack of support from the people that frequent Had left me shell shocked, deep questioning for a reason Maybe a few cuts have been the reason for the bleeding But something has to consequence when you've been a-reaching But reaching for what That's my personal vendetta Don't make any sense if I wrote it in a letter The only thing that matters most is if I progress and get better Without music I'd inject my dope with steel from Beretta's It's not a threat for death That's a quote from life Maybe he'll feel better for once if he wasn't alive But he couldn't ever do it since there's always more time And if you let go of the ladder They'll still grip up and climb
