The Devil Is A Lie

[Verse 1]
A kid up in this church
Kinda scared of what he's hearing
Bloody man up on the wall
So he's staring at the ceiling
He's feeling kinda queasy when they query 'bout communion
He fakes a stomach ache to take away what seems abusive
But if he don't do it they look
Kinda funny, they took
What they want, what they need
To stay hooked, they stay shook
I hate to say that, I hate to see this
But times like this, if I was God I would be heated, so I'm saying:

[Hook]
What if the Devil is a lie then?
I'm not afraid of my sins
I'm gonna ride for my kin
And if I had a God, I'd never die—because I'd bribe him
What if the Devil is a lie then?
I'm not afraid of dying
I'm gonna ride for my kin
And if I had a God, I'd never die—because I'd bribe him

[Verse 2]
Heavy handed
Get it candid
I'm the man with
Never politic and religion on campus
But when it comes to gettin' educated, you can stamp it
Put in the mail like your God was just a pamphlet
If he's just a pamphlet
Or if she's just a pamphlet
Preaching to a choir 'bout a buyer of enchantment
I ain't buying, I am selling
'Cause the Creflo dollar getting F-Low
Dollars up for [?]
So damn, how we gonna manage?
The coffer is an offer to the author of some panic
And I ain't gonna bow to any damage
You take those lungs and come back with an anthem
So put your motherfucking hands up!

[Hook]
What if the Devil is a lie then?
I'm not afraid of my sins
I'm gonna ride for my kin
And if I had a God, I'd never die—because I'd bribe him
What if the Devil is a lie then?
I'm not afraid of dying
I'm gonna ride for my kin
And if I had a God, I'd never die—because I'd bribe him

[Verse 3]
They tell the stories of devils
They tell the stories of levels
Purgatory, the glory
My fury is not disheveled
It's put together by facts
Put it up to the mirror
It breathes heavy, it's loaded
No motive, but I be clear on every song I've ever made
I still have questions
Time machine won't work, we need professors
If the keys won't turn, you need direction
What you work for, son? Let the heathens bless you
Terminology is foul, so it sounds ill
Keeps the people scared, keeps them scarred 'cause they will
Fuck a will, I ain't dying, I ain't trying to keep alive a Frankenstein instead of praying to a giant, uh

[Hook]
What if the Devil is a lie then?
I'm not afraid of my sins
I'm gonna ride for my kin
And if I had a God, I'd never die—because I'd bribe him
What if the Devil is a lie then?
I'm not afraid of dying
I'm gonna ride for my kin
And if I had a God, I'd never die—because I'd bribe him
What if the Devil is a lie then?
I'm not afraid of dying
I'm gonna ride for my kin
And if I had a God, I'd never die—because I'd bribe him
