Lyrics for Song: Me And The Devil
Lyrics for Album: Season 1 [2012]
Early this morning
When you knocked
Upon my door
[x2]
And I say
Hello Satan
I believe it's time to go
Me and the devil
Walking side by side
[x2]
And I'm gonna see my woman
'Til I get satisfied
See see you don't see why
Like you'a dog me 'round
(Now babe you know I ain't do it like that)
Say I don't see why
People dogging me around
It must be that old evil spirit
Drop me down in your ground
You may
Bury my body
Down by the highway side
(I don't really care where you bury me when I'm gone)
You may bury my body
Down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit
Can greyhound
Bus that ride
Standing in the ruins of another black man's life
Or flying through the valley
Separating day and night
"I am death",
Cried the vulture,
For the people of the light
Karon brought his raft
From the sea that sails on souls
And I saw the scavenger departing
Taking warm hearts to the cold
He knew the ghetto was a haven
For the meanest creature ever known
In a wilderness of heartbreak
In a desert of despair
Evil's clarion of justice
Shrieks a cry of naked terror
Taking babies from their mamas
Leaving grief beyond compare
So if you see the vulture coming
Flying circles in your mind
Remember there is no escaping
For he will follow close behind
Only promise me a battle
A battle for your soul and mine
And mine
And mine
