Devil's Advocate (Explicit) Lyrics
Devil's Advocate (Explicit) - Snowgoons/Reef The Lost Cauze
Yeah he was a real ni**a
Stayed on the block pitching
He and his crew would rock jeans
Said stop snitching
He wasn't the violent type
But he would see evil on all kind of nights
And chose to remain the silent type
I'm not saying call the cops
The beast won't help
But sh*t in the hood we police ourselves
Hate on no man trying to increase his wealth
But don't turn your back on your
Neighbor when they need your help
And he did that night that they robbed that old lady
They ain't mean to kill her but the b**ch went crazy
Seen the whole thing and just shut his blinds
But he couldn't get the image of her
Busted spine from his blunted mind
Time passed and the summer was sick
That was until his little brother got hit
Now he's out for answers but niggas stick to the script
So when he asked what happened ain't nobody seen sh*t
And there's only so long you
Can play devil's advocate
Before the snake comes back
And now your back is bit
Half the worrying half the risk
But a whole world of problems
Come from playing devil's advocate
It's only so long you can play devil's advocate
Before the snake comes back and now your back is bit
Half the worrying half the risk
But a whole world of problems
Come from playing devil's advocate
He was the youngest VP of a fortune 500
Porsche out front armani suits by the hundreds
His bosses screwed over anyone that they wanted
The type to f**k the wife and then fire the husband
Ruthless titans of industry
There's lawyers and accountants
Are more organized than the genovese
Made plenty enemies but his logic was
If these people were smart then they'd be as rich as me
His ambition blinded him so
He was a good man once but loot divided his soul
Now was company is floundering about to be jobless
He's under investigation for trading on stock tips
Reporters out back sifting garbage
Got a lien on his house
They trying to take where his mom live
Went to his old boss who's met at the door
He said I'm sorry son
We've never met before
And there's only so long you
Can play devil's advocate
Before the snake comes back
And now your back is bit
Half the worrying half the risk
But a whole world of problems
Come from playing devil's advocate
It's only so long you can play
Devil's advocate
Before the snake comes back
And now your back is bit
Half the worrying half the risk
But a whole world of problems
Come from playing devil's advocate
Never turn a blind eye to the evil that's upon you
'Cause if you do believe me that sh*t will haunt you
I remember a few years back I witnessed a heinous act
And I did not react I sat back and just let it happen
I just sat there stunned I should've
Helped but I guess I was young
I guess I was dumb felt like a punk
The stench of guilt hung on my skin
For weeks like a skunk
And to this day
I see the face of a stranger
Who was drowning and I could have been her anchor
If I had to do it all again I would've
Stood tall and lent her my hand
I would've fought like a man
I would've come to her rescue and done all I can
But the f**ked up thing is I'll never get that chance
Never never never
And there's only so long you can play devil's advocate
Before the snake comes back
And now your back is bit
Half the worrying half the risk
But a whole world of problems
Come from playing devil's advocate
It's only so long you can play devil's advocate
Before the snake comes back
And now your back is bit
Half the worrying half the risk
But a whole world of problems come
Yeah
I'm sorry
