“Demon” is a story as old as time – relationships making people do things they never thought they would. In Shamir’s case, this amounts to full-on demonization.
It appears on Shamir’s debut studio album, Ratchet.
[Verse 1]
The honor roll was all I'd known
Till you took me over to the dark side
The thrill was good, together we stood
Like a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde
We'll stay on the run
Forget the bad things we done
We were fit for survival, no books but the Bible
Held out with a gun
[Verse 2]
My wings turned black, no turning back
Yeah you have me completely
Enriched in you, together we flew
Yeah you're the trap that captured me
And I don't wanna go on
Don't let my momma know
That I'm a ride-or-die and it feels so right
And I've gone and sold my soul
[Chorus]
If I'm a demon, baby, you're the beast that made me
Falling from grace, we're falling oh so gracefully
It's in your nature, girl, you're not to blame
I chose to go with you and leave so much shame
If I'm a demon, baby, you're the beast that made me
[Bridge]
We're on the fast lane
It's you and me together, baby, always
We're on the fast lane
It's you and me together, baby, always
We're on the fast lane
It's you and me together, baby, always
We're on the fast lane
We're on, we're on
[Chorus]
If I'm a demon, baby, you're the beast that made me
Falling from grace, we're falling oh so gracefully
It's in your nature, girl, you're not to blame
I chose to go with you and leave so much shame
If I'm a demon, baby, you're the beast that made me
[Chorus]
If I'm a demon, baby, you're the beast that made me
Falling from grace, we're falling oh so gracefully
It's in your nature, girl, you're not to blame
I chose to go with you and leave so much shame
If I'm a demon, you made me
[Outro]
We're on the fast lane
It's you and me together, baby, always
We're on the fast lane
It's you and me together, baby, always
We're on the fast lane
It's you and me together, baby, always
We're on the fast lane
We're on, we're on
