[Intro]
Look at the world
Turning
Turning
Turning
[Verse 1]
I'm the reason you're not singing in the rain
The distributor of misery, a bringer of the pain
In a moment better living's on your brain, I'm the one
That strips your confidence and tells you that it isn't gonna change
I achieve fame for my pedigree
Preach to the same choir that prays to my enemy
That made my identity, so saved, they will never be
The children of their parents so [?] is hereditary
I'm the one that gets women cheating on their boyfriends
And my voice says, "You can't beat 'em, better join then"
I'm the barman dutifully feeding you the poison
So you don't see the opportunities when I exploit them
My effects are multiplied on ones who believe
They're yet to ride inside my car but I'm the one with the keys
The only thing you do is take your place in a long line
I position you in the wrong place at the wrong time, 'cause I
[Chorus]
I, I, I am the devilish
Come see the world through the eyes of the triple six
But they're the ones who control your intelligence
So what I told you's irrelevant, yeah
Yeah, yeah, I am the devilish
Come see the world through the eyes of the triple six
But they're the ones who control your intelligence
So what I told you's irrelevant (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
I've got the ability to magnify a lover's tiff
And have it end in tragedy in everlasting punishment
Impossible to murder me, eternally I'm running shit
And they don't say a word to me, they all know what my number is
It's the love they have for me that makes 'em get excited
I'm known the world over but my face is never sighted
They picture me having huger horns than a unicorn
I look like any one of you so any one of you can fall
I control people, it ain't weird to see me in 'em
When I'm fucking families up or stealing people's children
It isn't any action, it's the fear of me that kills 'em
I'm the opposite of God and every hero needs a villain
Compared to where I'm from, the world is so cold, it makes me sick
So I charge a high rent in souls that they pay me with
The reason I have power when it's told is some basic shit
The one who loves the least is who controls the relationship
[Chorus]
I, I, I, I am the devilish
Come see the world through the eyes of the triple six
But they're the ones who control your intelligence
So what I told you's irrelevant, yeah
Yeah, yeah, I am the devilish
Come see the world through the eyes of the triple six
But they're the ones who control your intelligence
So what I told you's irrelevant (Uh)
[Verse 3]
I send people signals, hack into their frequency
And pressure them to things that cause damage to their decency
And it isn't any trouble having them agree with me
If they believe in God, they automatically believe in me
It's the same story with a billion different sequels
All with the same ending, and I swear it isn't peaceful
But by far the biggest reason that my shit is lethal is
I live inside the heads of a billion different people
I'm the Dark Prince, The Beast, Devil, Lucifer and Satan
But you the ones that made me them and you the ones that named 'em
And all the powers I possess, well, you the ones that gave 'em
And if I ever lose 'em, it's 'cause you will come and take 'em
The way I rule human life with dollar signs is vicious
But I don't exist, if you don't acknowledge my existence
The horrifying thing is that it's not a giant difference
You can get away, but I'm always gonna find a victim, 'cause I
[Chorus]
I, I, I am the devilish
(As I lay me down to sleep)
Come see the world through the eyes of the triple six
(I pray the Lord my soul to keep)
But they're the ones who control your intelligence
(But the soul belongs to me)
So what I told you's irrelevant, yeah
Yeah, yeah, I am the devilish
(As I lay me down to sleep)
Come see the world through the eyes of the triple six
(I pray the Lord my soul to keep)
But they're the ones who control your intelligence
(But the soul belongs to me)
So what I told you's irrelevant
[Outro]
As I lay me down to sleep (Look at the world)
I pray the Lord my soul to keep (Turning
Turning) But the soul belongs to me
(Turning) As I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
But the soul belongs to me
Devilish was written by Prime (AUS) & Answer (AUS).
Devilish was produced by Answer (AUS).
The beat for this was originally out of bounds for me when I heard it at Answer’s place but I think I talked him into letting me use it. I can’t remember who but I think he had intended to give it to another artist and I was sort of like, “Just let me record on it and if you don’t think it’s good en...
