When Devils Strike

[SPM:]

Behind this walls, I'ma find out what's going on

I'm gonna find, the cure for our peoples down fall

I'm gone find out, why we filling up penitentiaries

Faster than they can build them

I'm gonna to find out, why half of our population

Is behind bars and penitentiaries and caught in the system

I'm gone to find out, why all of our people are getting locked up

I'm gonna find the answers, we're on the inside of this hat

I promise, we're only gonna get stronger

[Verse 1:]

Just me and you, lets take the town over

You my best friend and a down soldier

At your apartments we can stack dollars

Families to see how the grass hoppers

So I trust you, love you like a brother

I wish you knew she's a hoe and I could fuck her

But I haven't, I know she hold your heart

You know the streets but you not so hoe smart

Fuck it though! Lets make fast fitty maine

Hits this muthafuckin' streets like some heavy rain

You got kick do' burglarers and murderers

If a fiend wants a front take his furniture

We a team, that's how it should of been

Whether shooting hoops or selling dope at Will & Glen

Public housing on Fridays pushing thousands

Fifty fifty together we was moving mountains

[Chorus:]

One day they will come

And try to take your life away

For when devils strike

It's a love thing

They just love to see when you down maine

For when devils strike

[Verse 2:]

I get a call from my boy bout seven thirty

Eating pizza with my bitch watching Eddie Murphy

He said his working but something went wrong

I grab my gat and put my bullet prove vest on

He said meet him at Palace Inn room six

Turns out he was smoking crack with two chicks

He said "Los I took a few hits at two A.M

After that I haven't stopped until you came in

Got twelve rocks left out of forty fool

Take what I got or I'll smoke 'em too

See the money started coming in real late

So I tried some, just to be awake

I thought it be like coke that's why I did it

But man it's like ten times more addictive"

That night he turned into a crack head

A month later, my boy looked half dead

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]

Cops caught him with a pipe full of residue

I was sad but I felt it would help him too

He got two years now his getting healthier

His in the pen, and I regret I felt for her

I took her out to a place called Wizard Lounge

She had soda, me I was zipping Crown

We agreed on a friendly date, no touching

By the end of the night we was both fuckin'

At my trailer was the first time that we did it

I know it hurts, so I won't get that specific

But remember on the first day you got out?

And we met right in front of your mom's house

I cried like a pig, I was feeling low

I couldn't tell you, cause I knew you would kill the hoe

I was mad at me and I hated her

A month later, she asked if I came in her

She got pregnant and didn't know whose it was

If you high right now, you might lose your buzz

But in court, she lied and said it never happened

Now she suing for the money that I get from rappin'

I lost the case, but how did I expect to win?

When my jury didn't have one Mexican

And they knew I didn't do that dumb shit

Now I gotta show 'em who they fucked with

[Chorus]
