So tell me that you love me
Tell me that you hate me
I been around a few years
I wonder what they make of me
The Devil sings (dat dat dat dat dat)
The Devil sings (dat dat dat dat dat) [2x]
[Verse 1]
I'm from the lineage of muscling boats
The American dreaming
The Devil handed glocks for the rope
Aye, what you want from me?
The world done got me thinking in code
Reality dreaming
Still inspired by the blocks that I roam
The Villain / A villainous tempo
Shadow dweller / Heltah Skeltah
My kin-folk
I levitate in thought like we invent those flows
Effortless rhyme scheming / My dream teaming
I've been immaculate for 24 seasons
You know the reason
My pen jot in ink blots
Iron sharpens the mental, word
I found my therapy in the instrumental
You know the god relax on a fiery peak
And if the meek indeed, should inherit the Earth
The scriptures spoke of my birth
The Villain
[Hook]
So tell me that you love me
Tell me that you hate me
I been around a few years
I wonder what they make of me
The Devil sings (dat dat dat dat dat)
The Devil sings (dat dat dat dat dat) [2x]
[Verse 2: Ensilence]
Shedding wings from time to time
A nigga, heavy bleeds on the dotted lines
Ricochet all the comma-cons course of path
The mirrors were forced to grasp
Keep the smoke on they ass
Like the low for the grab
Not grounded in the sash
Not counting on the gap
Niggas talkin' on they braggle
Sleepin' on the gravel made my back as solid
I mean I'm back to gauntlet
Slangin' tracks in Babylon
I mean I pack the comet
Shooting stars and the astronomics
See the God / See the Dark
See the path, I'm on it
The free-est heart and seeing all
In the lack of honest
I'm tee-ing off / Feeding off
On the fatted harvest
[Verse 3: VON POE VII x Ensilence]
Nigga that's the goddess
I broke the holy ghost
The dear departed, regardless
From dope to smoke
You can hear where heart is
Aint no fear in artist / So sear the carcass
Stupid niggas getting parted like the Red Sea
Pardon my lingo / I was never the Ringo
In my search for higher learning
See the worth / Don't mind the current
Pushing tides besides the sermon
Steepen loss on their turface
Lurkin' eyes on top of furnace
[Hook]
So tell me that you love me
Tell me that you hate me
I been around a few years
I wonder what they make of me
The Devil sings (dat dat dat dat dat)
The Devil sings (dat dat dat dat dat) [2x]
I've come to rejoice in witnessing him finally finding his footing, and standing firm on his square. He is, in my opinion, the sound of the culture once all this mainstream noise quiets out. VON POE VII
I spent my early late teens and 20's listening to Hus Kingpin and SmooVth, back when they went by "Tha Connection". It was very refreshing to see them come together again, and drop another classic. VON POE VII
True Masterz, a group I'd consider a modern day Mobb Deep or Onyx, except Megallah (formally JMega The God) does all the flowing over productions by MighGawd. Peep their catalog. VON POE VII
