Devil In My Room Lyrics - Joe Budden

Last night I heard a voice say I'll be getting it my own way 

I think I'm falling off the deep end so I haven't been sleepin' 

Last night I heard a voice in my head 

Said it's an emergency, said he had some work for me 

He said fuck the world or maybe he said it in jest 

I told him that I already did multiple times 

Truthfully I wasn't never impressed 

But to contradict that matter again 

To the point where nothing matters again 

More money, more problems, more cases, more lawyers involved 

And more fame just means more paranoia involved 

I done made friends, lost friends, same hour 

Tried to use my troops as a means to gain power 

Uh, same tricks, same cowards 

Why I be like fuck any nigga that ain't ours 

Never slipping, never threatened 

I think they forgetting for a second non-fiction ain't a weapon 

Thoughts could be hypnotic, nah, just neurotic 

Called oft psychotic, flawed by off logic, but I got this 

Last night I saw the devil sitting in my room 

And we greeted with a smile 

Said that he had been there for a while 

Last night I heard the devil talking in my head 

Said this is an emergency, said he had some work for me 

He said 

He said one day your friends gon' be your demise 

Said a few of 'em is me in disguise 

Deceit in his eyes, said I like the teaching me wise 

But the leeches I don't need in my life, please be advised 

Real coy, listening, still annoyed 

Said these hoes fill a void, all hoes, you still a boy 

Said you searching, you don't know what to do 

You thinking you fucking 'em when really they fucking you 

Look, said they see you on feats 

Said you give the love to the ones that need it the least 

But wait, you can't put me on trial for my errors 

I learned, trial and error, the how I couldn't tell ya 

You talking to the realest, nah, just a realist 

Nah, you just a nigga don't recognize what the real is 

Thoughts could be hypnotic, thoughts get out of pocket 

You'll be powerless, get lost, you try to stop it, I got this 

Last night I saw the devil sitting in my room 

And we greeted with a smile 

Said that he had been there for a while 

Last night I heard the devil talking in my head 

Said this is an emergency, said he had some work for me 

He said 

He said what you doing this music for, I got news for ya 

If you don't sell your soul to me 

Then you just gon' ruin your future, bruh 

See, I just cracked open this Goose 

And I mixed that elixir with juice 

Then I was introduced to Lucifer 

In a dark room, his tongue as sharp as a harpoon 

We started discussing things 

He told me about his minions and his underlings 

Told me that he was Gepetto of the ghetto 

Had snake niggas on his puppet strings 

Taught him betrayal and other schemes 

He ain't new to this, he true to this, said he been doing this 

Since Jesus was crossed for thirty pieces of silver 

And he sealed the deal with a Judas kiss 

When Ceasar was stabbed in the back 

He was the one who placed the knife in Brutus fist 

Now he got his hands in our music biz 

Told me to ignore the war and the poor 

Aim my music more towards the whores and drug lords 

And the fans are pourin' through the doors 

Sell out my tours, get awards galore 

I told him I just wanted to be the modern day Marvin Gaye 

He said you might wanna rethink that 

Cause I know where your father stay 

I'll possess him to pick up the chrome 

Pop you in the dome for trying to tell the people for what's going on 

He said that's where you're going wrong 

It's more demons than angels in this biz, you're on your own 

Wanna hit the big screens switch your sixteens 

Get some slim jeans, get your big dreams 

Or make your wrist gleam, get your big cream, hope you're listening 

I just had to switch to his team, uh, it was tempting 

The contract was in blood 

He said I know you sick of trafficking drugs - sign it 

Nah, I got this 

Last night I saw the devil sitting in my room 

And we greeted with a smile 

Said that he had been there for a while 

Last night I heard the devil talking in my head 

Said this is an emergency, said he had some work for me 

He said 

Last night I heard a voice say I'll be getting it my own way 

I think I'm falling off the deep end so I haven't been sleepin' 

Last night I thought I heard a voice in my head 

Said it's an emergency, said he had some work for me 

I think the weed started fucking with a nigga 

I think the weed started fucking with a nigga 

I think the weed started fucking with a nigga 

I think the weed started fucking with a nigga 

I think the weed started fucking with a nigga 

I think the weed started fucking with a nigga 

I think the weed started fucking with a nigga
