Born in ChiTown you can call me M.Devius

I write bars like a boss, no offense to those previous

Got a quick trigger finger when it's time to deliver

My lyrics ain't for cynics but I'll make your spine shiver

Let me tell you who I am, what I do and who I wanna be

Bangalore blood, ain't no stoppin' me

Silicon brain, ain't no toppin' me

Run the beat back, I'm dope as I wanna be

After the fact, now you know that I can rap

Play me back-to-back, on full blast man

I never get gassed, though I'm going so fast

The fans keep me energized, I like plants

I work a day job, no nine to five

Putting in work, its how I survive

They know me by a different name, I reign supreme

When I say I gotcha covered, I say what I mean

Waiting for a deal, (Who?)

You're neighbourhood MC

I bill by the hour but I'll smoke him for free

Target on my back, in the zone I'm stone cold

Got American spirit and an Indian soul

They call me the machine, cause I know how to produce

Cause when I'm on the mic, ain't nothing you can do

Pull up from downtown, nothing but money

I'll make a Rottie look like a six-week-old puppy

And so, M.Devius was born

Got a hunger for the smarts and a thirst to perform

Complete with myself, cause there's nobody else

Like product off the top shelf

Respect every being, but I walk my own path

They criss-cross sometimes, and I'll run with the pack

But when clutch time comes and you need that win

I don't look outside, I look within

No thrill, like perfecting a skill

No chill, when I'm going for the kill

I live everyday like I'll die at night

Reborn everyday in the morning light

Wanna do something great every moment I exist

Can't be that guy who just lives and subsists

I was given a gift and I learned not to quit

Fail hard, fail fast you have to commit

So I rhyme and I rap, it's my escape

Don't know how to deal with it any other way

Didn't know what I was doing

Puttin' thoughts into sounds and a beat to my musings

100 ways to channel your flow, did it this way so everybody knows

Words bend to my will, rhythms dance to my tune

When I hit the punchline, whole crew go 'Ooooh!'

And so, M.Devius was born

Got a hunger for the smarts and a thirst to perform

Complete with myself, cause there's nobody else

Like product off the top shelf

Respect every being, but I walk my own path

They criss-cross sometimes, and I'll run with the pack

But when clutch time comes and you need that win

I don't look outside, I look within

When I'm in the booth it's like a cockpit

Got a G-force suit cause we're going supersonic

I'm killin' when I'm feelin' it

Livin' and I'm spittin' it

Play it back one more time cause they digging it

Run it like I want, everybody knows I'm on

When I'm pissed off, but I'm real calm

In the street if you step to me, you'd better bring that A-game, you'd better be on beat

Making observations on a broken population

Generations frustrated, demographics ill-fated

They call 'em deviations, a defiant vindication

Every lie aggravating the divide in our nation

Slippin' through the cracks, no one gives a jack shit

Can't trust information, cause did they hijack it?

Consume and employ you, they use and exploit you

Reduce what you have to subdue and destroy you

From the inside out, but that's just the start

What's good for the whole ain't good for the parts

Run from society if you don't give a shit

You'd rather make a quick buck then you'd care to admit

That's the mindset that keeps us all down

Exploit the system, cash out

Tough for society, but shit, I digress

M.Devius on the mic, had to get that off my chest
