Demons

[Intro]
haha
yeah they always leave the door open
every time
without fail
…every. time.
[Verse 1]
pulled up to the spot at like two in the morning
bi*ch said don’t come over, 
left the porch light on though
funny how that work, say one thing do another
left the deadbolt off, must’ve forgot, whatever
i ain’t even had to force nothing
she kept thinking it was something 
she kept saying she fuckin done
but that b*tch always callback
i just answered
what you want me to do about that
i’m consistent, she the one that never changed
showed her who i was the very first weekend
she said “i can fix that” — so really who’s the reason
[Hook]
open door policy
that ain’t on me
you left the light on
you gave me the key
say i took everything
but check your hand
you the one that kept
extending my hand
open door
every time
open door
every time
[Verse 2]
ni**a on the corner think i came to take his spot
b*tch I been here, he the one who moved in on  block
kept telling his people he was done with this life
but mother f**ker stayed available, stayed in eyesite
Smoked 3 of that niggas homies, on the same road
he still out here, weather getting cold
talking bout he trapped like something got a hold
i don’t hold nobody
ask around
i just stay ready
and they come back around

[Verse 3]
years later serving clientele same place i always stood
little ni**a thought he ran me out the neighborhood
told everybody how he cleaned his life up for good
six months later i’m back eating at his table
he introduced me to his kids, that part wasn’t in the fable
he tells the story like i hunted him down
like i got some kinda power that i run this town
but last i checked he drove to me, knocked on my door
told me things was different, things wasn’t different no more
and i looked at him
and i ain’t say nothing
just stepped to the side
let him walk back in
cause that’s what i do
i don’t chase nobody
i just stay where i stay
and they find they way
[Bridge — beat drops to almost nothing]
you know what’s crazy
i never once lied to nobody
i showed up exactly like i showed up the first time
same f**kin way
same energy
same result
they just kept thinking
this time gon be different
…it’s never different
till a mother fucker see
[Verse 4]
mother f**kers stay pointing fingers at the demon
but who the f**k called the demon
who gave the demon meaning
who built they whole f**kin life around me
then got lost when i left cause they ain’t know who they’d be
that’s the part yall aint wanna say out loud
i ain’t the problem 
i’m the symptom of the crowd
i don’t make no noise
that noise was already there
i just gave it somewhere to go
A familiar mask to wear
a face, a name, a reason, an excuse
i’m just what happens
when you hand someone the noose
and they surprised
every time
they surprised
[Outro — almost bored]
yeah
i’ll be here
i’m always here
door’s open
…yours, not mine
