Devil's Pie
Song by D'Angelo ‧ 1998
Overview
Lyrics
F**k the slice we want the pie
Why ask why till we fry
Watch us all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs women wine
Three or four at a time
Watch them all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Who am I to justify
All the evil in our eye
When I myself feel the high
From all that I despise
Behind the jail or in the grave
I have to lay in this bed I made
If I die before I wake
I hope the lord dont' hesitate
To get to heaven done been through hell
Tell my peeps all is well
All them fools whose soul's 4 sale
Sitting next to the Jezebel
Demons screaming in my ear
All my anger all my fear
If I holler let them hear
In this spinning sphere
F**k the slice we want the pie
Why ask why till we fry
Watch us all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs women wine
Three or four at a time
Watch them all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Main ingredients to this dish
Goes like this
Here's the list
Materialistic, greed and lust, jealousy, envious
Bread and dough, cheddar cheese, flash and stash, cash and cream
Temperatures at a high degree
Where ni**as come to feast
Hell's this all about
Apocalypse ain't no doubt
Everbody's ho'ing out all the loot all the clout
Right or wrong
Do or die
Only the vengeance will pacify
Watch your back
And so will I
In these days and time
F**k the slice we want the pie
Why ask why till we fry
Watch us all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs women wine
Three or four at a time
Watch them all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Aint no justice
It's just us
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Time has come for most of us
To choose in which God we trust
I know I was born to die
Searched to find
Piece of mind
With eighty five dumb and blind
There can be no compromise
F**k the slice we want the pie
Why ask why till we fry
Watch us all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs women wine
Three or four at a time
Wait a minute, ah let me tell you 'bout
The slice of the devil's pie
Ah-ah-ah I said everybody out there gettin' down
With a slice of the devil's pie
Ah-ah-ah standing in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Said the woman in the street
Sellin' her fu**in' body
For a slice of the devil's pie
Ah-ha nigga's killin' each other in the streets
For a slice of the devil's pie
All in line, all in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Yeah, all in line, all in line
For a slice of the devil's pie (Hear me though)
All in line, all in line
For a slice of the devil's pie (Yeah)
All in line, all in line (I don't give a f**k)
For a slice of the devil's pie (I ain't goin' out for)
