Dee exclusively released this track though his “MVP” email list on September 9, 2017.
[Intro]
Man, I've been working so hard lately
But, I've been just mentally drained
Who would've knew behind the album...
[Chorus]
The devil desperate, so he trying to distract me
I'm driving towards my destiny, he ain't happy
He know that my new album finna change my life
So, he throwing demons at me left and right
Left and right
Left and right
[Verse 1]
They don't know what I go through
I hide it well
Cuz' in this decieving world, a man of God is gon' prevail
Sometimes, I choose to tell, sometimes I keep it in
So many numbers in my phone, but not many are my friends
Can you try to relate to a soldier sharing his struggle?
Often feeling alone in an industry that don't love you
Oh yeah, it's draining, but I'm maintaining
Yeah, I'm not complaining, I'm just explaining
It ain't no secret, I'm tryna elevate my mindset, so I
Try not to entertain foolishness, crooked people, and lies
Try to do what I love and my best til' I die
And I try to replace the negative thoughts with positive vibes
That's why I praying for because I know I'm under attack
Do you believe in Satan because I feel him right on my back
I got so many demons tryna hold me down right now
So, I need some real people to hold me down right now
[Chorus]
The devil desperate, so he trying to distract me
I'm driving towards my destiny, he ain't happy
He know that my new album finna change my life
So, he throwing demons at me left and right
Left and right
Left and right
The devil desperate, so he trying to distract me
I'm driving towards my destiny, he ain't happy
He know that my new album finna change my life
So, he throwing demons at me left and right
Left and right
Left and right
[Verse 2]
Question: Have you ever felt like a slave?
Ever locked yourself in a room for four entire days?
Ever wanted to call somebody out, but had to bite yo' tongue
Cuz' you got a goal in mind and that'll effect the outcome
Ever been mad at yourself for making the same mistake?
And you know that that's the reason you can't go from good to great
Can you relate? Can you relate?
Can you relate? Can you relate?
I'm tryna reach my destiny
I can't be late, I can't be late
[Interlude]
Hello? Whassup Soulja? Man, I'm cooling man. Just putting the finishing touches on this album bruh
Man, I promise, it's like whenever the devil know you finna go to another level or do something great, he come at you the hardest. Ya heard me? Evil is intelligent, man. So, I gotta stay focused. Just send one up for ya boy. Ya heard me? Love
[Chorus]
The devil desperate, so he trying to distract me
I'm driving towards my destiny, he ain't happy
He know that my new album finna change my life
So, he throwing demons at me left and right
Left and right
Left and right
The devil desperate, so he trying to distract me
I'm driving towards my destiny, he ain't happy
He know that my new album finna change my life
So, he throwing demons at me left and right
Left and right
Left and right
