Make A Deal Lyrics - Joe Budden

Yeah 

 

Who knew that Lucifer was cutting side deals 

I know he's coming for me so I keep my eyes peeled 

Although my situation is never really ideal 

If I don't find a better way then maybe God will 

And he ain't got no trophies for the runner up 

The escalator is going down, but I'm running up 

They told me I was goin' be nothing but a lost cause 

Nigga you been down a couple years so how you coming up? 

How you stop a nigga from leaving after the love is lost? 

How you stop a nigga from bleeding after the blood is lost? 

Yeah, I got a couple of demons, don't get no one involved 

Yeah, I got some goals I'm achieving nigga I want it all! 

The money's piling, I'm diving in it, and I somersault 

My stomach's piling I gotta get it, I'm coming for it (damn) 

That's why I choose you can know how I feel 

Guess I'm just a little confused, I don't know if it's real 

 

(Is it real?) If I only could, make a deal with God 

Get him to swap our places 

I'd be running up that road 

I'd be running up that hill 

I'd be running up that building 

If I only could 

 

I'd ask God how I last in this 

Nah I'd rather kick it with him 

'Cause to ask him shit, I would deem as blasphemous 

Pick his brain and try to see what his passion is 

Know with me I debate whatever his ration is 

Product of a hell, but I'm knowledgeable myself 

I'd trade me for the business that is hospitals and jails 

'Cause there's profits involved when they nail a convict 

You create these diseases then sell us the fix 

Or was it just to hinder me? 

Every inch of me would make or break, 

Or make great sense to me but then he try to censor me 

But he can have that, that ain't even what I'm mad at 

I would give him a set back if he would give me Stack back 

Let's trade shoes I tell 'em mine are hot 

If I made in his likeness would he really mind a swap? 

And if he did one day if I would feel 

Like I put faith in some shit that ain't real it gives me chill 

 

If I only could, make a deal with God 

Get him to swap our places 

I'd be running up that road 

I'd be running up that hill 

I'd be running up that building 

If I only could 

 

How could you make a deal without the devil in it? 

Some people make mistakes then say the devil did it 

Life is like a game 'cause there's different levels in it 

You won't read the board if you're in court and you don't get acquitted 

They say it's all metaphysics, why you lying if you ain't never did it? 

If I don't walk through the fire then who the fuck will? 

I think I'm on the right path it's all uphill 

 

Or could it be the right path wrong time? 

Right thought, wrong mind? 

Sure success, long grind 

They say even when he's late that he's always on time 

We should even switch places so he sees what's on mine 

'Cause it's heavier lately, the water's coming down, but the levee won't break me 

And this world as is I think you better sedate me 

I'm just having sick thoughts cause you ain't met with me lately 

 

If I only could, make a deal with God 

Get him to swap our places 

I'd be running up that road 

I'd be running up that hill 

I'd be running up that building 

If I only could 

 

If I only could, make a deal with God 

Get him to swap our places 

I'd be running up that road 

I'd be running up that hill 

I'd be running up that building 

If I only could 

 

Lord thank You 

For everything 

Only by His grace and mercy 

I appreciate it, help me
