Not Today

(Hook)
I swear the devil up the alley way
If I get caught I'll probably pass the blame
That ain't gone happen uh uh not today
Not toda-a-a-ay
I swear the devil up the alley way
If I get caught I'll probably pass the blame
That ain't gone happen uh uh not today
Not toda-a-a-ay
I'm steady yeah I'm steady trying to find my worth
I know it yeah I know it ain't defined by works
So yeah I may be last cause I put Him first
Ya know, ya kno-o-o-ow
I'm steady yeah I'm steady trying to find my worth
I know it yeah I know it ain't defined by works
So yeah I may be last cause I put Him first
Ya know, ya kno-o-o-ow

(Verse 1)
I'm feeling like you don't know my pain
Man I couldn't find the light when the darkness came
All these couples in my sight man I swear they fake
But I was trying to chase the same thing that they claimed
A good girl that comes along with a hot body
But the more I dreamed of it, I felt like a nobody
I was just the average male who was taught by society
That to be a man a boy has got to learn where his powers be
And that lies inside the denim, devil spitting venom
Dancing with the devil and I'm sticking to his rhythm
As the year progressed I was becoming a man
But then when stress hit, all that just came to an end
And I was able to keep it hidden and always pretend
That everything was okay with what I do and I say
And I just went 'bout my day, felt the guilt when I prayed
So I put that all aside and kept straying away, dang

(Hook)
I swear the devil up the alley way
If I get caught I'll probably pass the blame
That ain't gone happen uh uh not today
Not toda-a-a-ay
I swear the devil up the alley way
If I get caught I'll probably pass the blame
That ain't gone happen uh uh not today
Not toda-a-a-ay
I'm steady yeah I'm steady trying to find my worth
I know it yeah I know it ain't defined by works
So yeah I may be last cause I put Him first
Ya know, ya kno-o-o-ow
I'm steady yeah I'm steady trying to find my worth
I know it yeah I know it ain't defined by works
So yeah I may be last cause I put Him first
Ya know, ya kno-o-o-ow

(Verse 2)
Uh uh devil that was my past life
God intervened so know that I got my act right
My past is not my present, but yeah it's still a curse sometimes
It makes me hesitate from writing down these words sometimes
I'm working on it, I promise it just takes some time
But God told me I would have to write this tape some time
Most rappers writing verses just to waste some time
But I'm writing mine in hopes that it will save some time
For anybody listening to this album at the moment
Don't believe the hype that society be showing
Take it from a man who experienced it for real
Mental breakdowns, never let a peer see a tear
But I was broken inside, all because I was so insecure
Stop acting like you so sure that you so secure
Learn from the ones who been through it, okay?
Now I'm back at the devil like not today, today!

(Hook)
I swear the devil up the alley way
If I get caught I'll probably pass the blame
That ain't gone happen uh uh not today
Not toda-a-a-ay
I swear the devil up the alley way
If I get caught I'll probably pass the blame
That ain't gone happen uh uh not today
Not toda-a-a-ay
I'm steady yeah I'm steady trying to find my worth
I know it yeah I know it ain't defined by works
So yeah I may be last cause I put Him first
Ya know, ya kno-o-o-ow
I'm steady yeah I'm steady trying to find my worth
I know it yeah I know it ain't defined by works
So yeah I may be last cause I put Him first
Ya know, ya kno-o-o-ow
