Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I been away for a while
'Cause shit weren't sweet like Tate and Lyle
I held it together with the fakest smile
But they rate my style with men that I thought were tight moved on
I couldn't give them what they want
With a heart compiled of hatred
How the fuck can you be my dog?
Left alive and lost in the ice and frost
Too many of my wires got crossed
Then I fell into my comfort zone
Smoking trees that literally look like logs
When the fans ask, where's Devs gone?
Taking a slut to a fancy restaurant when I shoulda been headstrong
To then feel stepped on, life's harsh
[Verse 2]
What you think you're doing?
Running around like some idiot
Need to start focusing
You've been wasting time
[Verse 3]
The devil inside of me
The side you just don't see
I've been fightin', who, me
It felt like amazing grace
I was blind, now I see
[Verse 4]
Wanna know where I've been, me too
It's a blur of booze and birds
Wake up with a hand all bruised
And I ain't got a clue what occurred
I've been the prick too long
Going on like I don't care about the career I tailored
From the stone and bricks in Satan's lair
But life will take you there
When you get robbed of a relative
And when I drive by your old flat
I blow a kiss and reminisce
I can't write inside the pad
I'm more pissed than I've ever been
So I try to escape this curse
Tryna run from the devil in
[Verse 5]
Come on brother
You made this man
I think the game needs this bruv
This is all you fucking know
Need to get up man
[Verse 6]
The devil inside of me
The side you just don't see
I've been fightin', who, me
It felt like amazing grace
I was blind, now I see
[Verse 7]
I wake up on the sofa
With a sore head in my friends house
No cash in my wallet
I know that I'm back in the ends now
Factories, flats and vomit
Every house looks run down
Screw-face and I'm on it
I ain't hard like Onyx
But lost it where's the anti-psychotics?
I'm falling apart when the streets ask
When's the album dropping?
When this writer's block subsides
And I feel like writing again about topics
Until then I just crawl inside my shell and it feels so horrid
[Verse 8]
The devil inside of me
The side you just don't see
I said, I've been fightin', who, me
It felt like amazing grace
I was blind, now I see
Now I see
