Ain't The Devil Happy - Jeru The Damaja

As devils search for the secrets to immortality

I alter my physical chemistry

Walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I exist even when no things are left

Vibrations transcend space and time

Pure at heart because I deal with the mind

That’s why I compose these verses

Audible worlds, my thoughts are now universes

Written on these pages is the ageless wisdom of the sages

Ignorance is contagious

So I hope you keep your focus

There’s no hocus-pocus, in the end it’s just us

Devil got brother killin brother, it’s insane

Goin out like Abel and Cain

Wisen up and use your brain

There’ll be no limit, to the things that you can gain

In positivity, balance it with negativity

Until then, ain’t the Devil happy

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Ain’t the Devil happy

I hate when the Devil’s happy, so I wear my hair nappy

Knotty, won’t go out like John Gotti

He came from the caves to destroy everybody

And we like fools destroy our own bodies

Too many niggas chilling, bad boys boom boom

This leaves no room for the flowers to bloom

Seeds blow in the wind, another drug killing

What are we accomplishing?

Nothing

What’s the matter?

Why everytime I look around another brain gets splattered?

Some pockets get fatter but it don’t matter

The Devil’s the only one who really gets fatter

Lead ruptures flesh, spleens are shattered

Dreams are shattered, another Queen without a King

What will our children become without proper guidance?

Probably nothing, so ain’t the Devil happy

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Ain’t the Devil happy

Niggas are in a state of nothingness

Hopelessness, lifelessness

If you’re in range, I hope you hear this

And try to change this 'cause it’s disastrous

Who gets the most loot?

Who gets bust?

Dollar bill y’all is the god we trust

The days blow by like dust, even Men of Steel rust

We’re out here acting ridiculous, when only we can save us

Mentally enslave us for little or nothing, kill our neighbors

Animalistic, cannibalistic behavior

Look to the sky for your Savior

He won’t save ya, he didn’t save your forefathers

Why bother, brothers?

You must discover the power of self

Know thyself or find thyself

Hating thyself, killing thyself

While he collects the wealth that you sit back and murder for

Ain’t the Devil happy?
