Dance with the devil lyrics

Artist  : Immortal technique 
Song : Dance with the devil
 

[Verse 1]
I once knew a nigga whose real name was William
his primary concern, was making a million
being the illest hustler, that the world ever
seen
he used to fuck moviestars and sniff coke in his
dreams
a corrupted young mind, at the age of thirteen
nigga never had a father and his mom was a feen
she put the pipe down, but forever yeah she was
sober
her sons heart simultaneously grew colder
he started hanging out selling bags in the
projects
checking the young chicks, looking for hit and
run prospects
he was fascinated by material objects
but he understood money never bought respect
he build a reputation cuz he could hustle and
steal
but got locked once it didn't hessitate to squeal
so criminals he chilled with didn't think he was
real
you see me and niggaz like this have never been
equal
I dont project my insurecurity's at other people
he feeded for props like addicts with pipes and
needles
so he felt he had to proof to everyone he was
evil
a fever minded young man with infinite potetial
the product of a ghetto ... capatalistic mental
coincidentally dropped out of school to sell weed
dancing with the devil, smoked until his eyes
would bleed
but he was sick of selling trees and gave in to
his greed

[Hook]
Everyone trying to be trife never face the
consequences
you propably only did a month for minor offences
ask a nigga doing life if he had another chance
but then again there's always the wicked at new
and advanced
dance forever with the devil on a code cell block
but thats what happens when you rape, murder and
sell rock
devils used to be gods, angels that fell from the
top
there's no diversity because we're burning in the
melting pot

[Verse 2]
So Billy started robbing niggaz, anything he
could do
he'd get his respect back, in the eyes of his
crew
starting fights over little shit, up on the block
stepped up to selling mothers and brothers the
crack rock
working overtime for making money for the crack
spot
hit the jackpot and wanted to move up to cocaine
for filling the scarface fantasy stuck in his
brain
tired of the block niggaz treating him the same
he wanted to be major like the cut throats and
the thugs
but when he tried to step to 'em, niggaz showed
him no love
they told him any motherfucking coward can sell
drugs
any bitch nigga with a gun, can bust slugs
any nigga with a red shirt can front like a blood
even Puffy smoked the motherfucker up in a club
but only a real thug can stab someone till they
die
standing in front of them, starring straight into
their eyes
Billy realized that these men were well guarded
and they wanted to test him, before business
started
suggested raping a bitch to proof he was cold
hearted
so now he had a choice between going back to his
life
or making money with made men, up in the cife
his dreams about cars and ice, made him agree
a hardcore nigga is all he ever wanted to be
and so he met them friday night at a quarter to
three

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
They drove around the projects slow while it was
raining
smoking blunts, drinking and joking for
entertainment
untill they saw a woman on the street walking
alone
three in the morning, coming back from work, on
her way home
and so they quietly got out the car and followed
her
 
walking through the projects, the darkness
swallowed her
they wrapped her shirt around her head and
knocked her onto the floor
this is it kid now you got your chance to be raw
so Billy oaked her up and grapped the chick by
the hair
and dragged her into a lobby that had nobody
there
she struggled hard but they forced her to go up
the stairs
they got to the roof and then held her down on
the ground
screaming shut the fuck up and stop moving around
the shirt covered her face, but she screamed the
clouts
so Billy stomped on the bitch, until he broken
her jaw
the dirty bastards knew exactly what they were
doing
they kicked her until they cracked her ribs and
she stopped moving
blood leaking through the corpse, she cried
silently
and then they all proceeded to rape her violently
Billy was meant to go first, but he ????? turn
ripping her up, and choking her until her throat
burned
a broken jaw mumbled for god but they weren't
concerned
when they were done and she was lying bloody,
broken and broos
one of them niggaz pulled out a brand new
twenty-two
they told him that she was a witness of what
she'd gone through
and if he killed her he was guaranteed a spot in
the crew
he thought about it for a minute, she was
practicly dead
and so he leaned over and put the gun right to
her head

(Sample from 'Survival of the Fittest' by Mobb
Deep)
I'm falling and I can't turn back
I'm falling and I can't turn back

[Verse 4]
Right before he pulled the trigger, and ended her
life
he thought about the cold pain with the platinum
and ice
and he felt strong standing along with his new
brothers
cocked the gat to her head, and pulled back the
shirt cover
but what he saw made him start the cringine
studder
cuz he was starring into the eyes of his own
mother
she looked back at him and cried, cuz he had
forsaken her
she cried more painfully, than when they were
raping her
his whole world stopped, he couldn't even
contiplate
his corruption had succesfully changed his fate
and he remembered how his mom used to come home
late
working hard for nothing, cuz now what was he
worth
he turned away from the woman that had once given
him birth
and crying out to the sky cuz he was lonely and
scared
but only the devil responded, cuz god wasn't
there
and right then he knew what it was to be empty
and cold
and so he jumped off the roof and died with no
soul
they say death take you to a better place but I
doubt it
after that they killed his mother, and never
spoke about it
and listen cuz the story that I'm telling is true
cuz I was there with Billy Jacobs and I raped his
mom to
and now the devil follows me everywhere that I go
infact I'm sure he's standing among one of you at
my shows
and every street cypher listening to little thugs
flowe
he could be standing right next to you, and you
wouldn't know
the devil grows inside the hearts of the selvish
and wicked
white, brown, yellow and black colored is not
restricted
you have a self destructive destiny when your
inflicted
and you'll be one of gods children and fell from
the top
there's no diversity because we're burning in the
melting pot
so when the devil wants to dance with you, you
better say never
because the dance with the devil might last you
forever
