C'mon.. * echoes *

Swing your partner, I'm about to start the

dance across the land, the Kane will scar the

people of our community, cause we're soon to see

the future of the world to be without unity

So brothers and sisters, let's check our history

to reveal what's been hidden a mystery

Because we're headed for self-destruction

And you know that the government, doesn't give a (fuck) when

one black brother sells another one dope

And he can't cope, so he dies without hope

Many of us live on this level

Mislead victims who dance with the devil

"Dance with the devil"

"Dance dance with the devil" * repeat both 4X *

Guns are bein bought over the counter like candy

Comin in handy for chumps to act manly

Once before they were only for the law

But no more for sure, lookin at a L.A. gun war

Even in Brooklyn, lives are bein tooken

The Bronx is dyin while the box is steady cookin

Capsule after capsule, settin a trap to

destroy all our kind without a hassle

I couldn't kill my brother, about a color

or cocaine, not even over a rope chain

In this world I'm considered a rap rebel

to correct those who dance with the devil

"Dance with the devil"

"Dance dance with the devil" * repeat both 4X *

There's no survival

Bodies come in D.O.A, Dead On Arrival

Everytime someone ships in artillery

begins the game wonderin who will the killer be

There's no war, so the Navy must wanna see

drugs and guns shift into our country

So we can shoot each other and sell each other death

and imprison all the other ones left

So it's time to start to rise

We can't be uncivilized, we gotta realize

that bein the baddest doesn't matter when your life is had

So let Michael Jackson be _Bad_

No time to devestate, we gotta elevate

to a higher level.. than dancin with the devil

"Dance dance with the devil"

"Dance with the devil"

This is the dance with the devil!

"Dance with the devil"

"Dance dance with the devil" * repeat both 4X *

Lookin at the fall of our new generation

makes me wonder about the Emancipation Proclamation

We're considered to be free, but did slavery devour

when we're still slaves to mental death and power

Misled and unknowin, people are goin

more and more beneath, instead of growin

+Express Yourself+, was said by N.W.A.

so stop givin trouble a play

Because those who chose to oppose never rose they all froze

at thirty-two degrees to enemies

that already tricked em and made em fall victim

Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, just look at them

What we need is peace and love and more love

but I don't see none of the above

So one for the bass and two for the treble

(come on y'all) Don't "dance with the devil"

"Dance with the devil"

"Dance dance with the devil" * repeat both 4X *

"Dance with the devil"..

"Dance with the devil"..
