If I were the devil
If I were the prince of darkness, I'd want to engulf the whole world in darkness
If I were the devil
If I were the devil, I promise you would never see me coming

No man would ever see me bluffing
I'd speak all these words of wisdom, but I bet they would still mean nothing
All these fleas jumping around me, got me bugging
I'm trying to fix my life, mama

But this rope in my heart string, it be tugging
I see all this darkness within my mind
Yeah, I know that it's corrupted
To the young, I would whisper that the Bible is a myth

I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around
I would tell them that what's bad is good
If they saw this, they might swear
The devil is evil, is he not

His vibe is in the details, so don't get caught
Between a rock and a skipping stone, life is tragic
Gotta learn to evolve, understand this isn't a game at all
Wisdom comes with time, when I talk about mine, I walk the walk

Hyper-focused, straight ahead on this slow crawl
You gotta get knocked in your ass a few times before you can learn how to walk
Before you can start looking the part, walking tall
I'm not talking small talk, I just watch like a fly on the wall

I'm all buzzing, throwing up the contents of my stomach
I'm a scumbag, hopeless maggot, bugging and flying
Till I nosedive in the dumpster just to rummage through the rubbish
It's people's gut instinct to swing on my breed

But I'm supernaturally quick for an instinct
Oops, y'all missed me again, I can explain my speed easily
And your repeated failed attempts, I expected you wingless men not to understand
The animals that you share land and air with

So I'll share this little tidbit
I perceive the flow of time with a different kind of clock
And you'll never understand why
If I were the devil

If I were the devil, I promise you would never see me coming
No man would ever see me bluffing
I'd speak all these words of wisdom and I bet they would still mean nothing
All these fleas jumping around me got me bugging

I'm trying to fix my life, mama
But this rope in my heart string, it be tugging
I see all this darkness within my mind
Yeah, I know that it's corrupting

If I were the devil
If I were the devil, I'd make the symbol of Easter an egg
And the symbol of Christmas a bottle
If I were the devil, I'd take from those who'd have

And give to those who wanted
Until I had killed the incentive of December first
If I were the devil
If I were the devil, I'd sit and watch the happy display of a family

Fall apart as my mom sleeps in the basement
Acts like everything is okay
I know it didn't only change my life
It changed our whole family

And it wasn't worth that three-way
I wonder why you treated my younger kin so differently
Maybe it's the lessons you learned
Or maybe the bread has a toll heavy

I still remember catching her sitting in that Chevy
Tears streaming down her cheeks as you broke the levy
I remember wishing to disappear from our lives like a MH370
Now that I'm older, I felt your depression come to life

Like I snagged the museum and you're Sean Levy
I wonder what life would have been like
If you hadn't have shot our family into orbit like a RD270
If I were the devil, I wouldn't wish this on my worst

I'd look at this shit like a curse
But you know what it's on me
How much forever is really worth
Gotta learn to love in short bursts

And see if I'm that one that supports you until you're in a hearse
Clench your pride, gain the weight
Don't let your ego disperse
You taught me no one grows up the same

That's why personalities are diverse
Gotta find the yin to your yang, the verb to your fin
And always make sure you hear the point of view of your kin
Always keep your mind open

And a wall around your heart
No matter if she's a tin
If you feel like she's a leaf to your stem
Then try again

Make sure you're not the run-on to her kin
Cause this shit's impossible to stay friends
So I'll turn to my paper and my pen
Jot down my feelings on some tree skin

If I were the devil
If I were the devil, I promise you would never see me comin
No man would ever see me bluffin
I'd speak all these words of wisdom

And I bet they would still mean nothin
All these fleas jumpin' around me, got me buggin
I'm tryna fix my life, mama
But this rope in my heart string, it be tuggin

I see all this darkness within my mind
Yeah, I know that it's too complicated
If I were the devil
In other words, if I were the devil

I'd just keep right on doing what he's doing
If I were the devil
