Devil Out Today

I try to right my wrongs
One day at a time
I know that devil out today
I keep that thing on my side
I know they want to see me failing
That shit still on my mind
But I'll be fine
Cause the devil out today!
Just an old dirt road
This the end of the line
Where that old man goes
Just to run out of time
Nose on the grindstone baby
It's one hell of a ride
But I'll be fine
Cause the devil out today!
Dad don't never had nothing
Food stamps, milk and Medicaid
Mama worked at Texaco
Daddy was a renegade
Single wide, hand me down
AC like the Everglades
150 pounds soaking wet
Felt like a heavy weight
Raised on that "I might whoop your ass
If they whoop your ass"
My Papa mean as hell
So who the fuck you looking at?
Them section 8 apartments
Taught a cracker that he good at rap
And I can eyeball a half
I wasn't good at math
From the slums counting crumbs
We had hope in there
Granddaddy's .38, helped me grow a pair
My brother fight, we all fightin'
We don't know what's fair
Bitch, ain't no one scared
Shit
I try to right my wrongs
One day at a time
I know that devil out today
I keep that thing on my side
I know they want to see me failing
That shit still on my mind
But I'll be fine
Cause the devil out today
Just an old dirt road
This the end of the line
Where that old man goes
Just to run out of time
Nose on the grindstone
Baby it's one hell of a ride
But I'll be fine
Cause the devil out today! Yeah
I'm on that bum, big country shit
Quicker then them Taladegas
Swimming in the water
With sharks and them alligators
Scene was oversaturated
We would rap, they laugh and play us
Then we crack them like a Garcia Vega
We played the majors
Man, we came up in that open mic
A couple lines, we keep'em tucked
Had to prove a point
Because I'm white and people think you suck
So you can spit your bars and all
Just keep in mind when speaking tough
When they cut these mics off
We might beat you up
We kept a bottle of Freon
To keep the ride cold
And we was bumping Pimp C
So we ride slow
We spit that type of shit
That burns slower than Optimo's
They don't like me
Yeah, I know. Oh
I try to right my wrongs
One day at a time
I know the devil out today
I keep that thing on my side
I know they want to see me failing
That shit still on my mind
But I'll be fine
Cause the devil out today
Just an old dirt road
This the end of the line
Where that old man goes
Just to run out of time
Nose on the grindstone baby
It's one hell of a ride
But I'll be fine
Cause the devil out today
