[Intro]
He said
You or them
No in-between
So I chose the end
[Verse 1]
Red in my vision
Heartbeat calm in collision
Walk through the smoke of the last one
Boots still warm from the friction
“Everyone goes”
That’s what he told me and vanished
Blink once
Whole room finished
Silence sits where the crowd once lived it
Who stands with me?
Thought so
Grin in the glow of the crossbow
War in my marrow, I’m hollow
Only thing left is the combo
Fist, flame, faith twisted
Halo bent, blade gifted
Every step, more names on the hit list
Pray for ‘em?
Too late, they missed it
[Chorus]
Let the devil out
I’m born in the flame
Every shadow in my path
Gonna burn in my name
If you stand in the way
You get caught in the blaze
He said you or them
So I’m clearing the stage
Let the devil out
I’m born in the flame
Born in the flame
[Verse 2]
Eyes dry when the sky turns charcoal
Judge, jury in a cracked church portal
Torch in my palm like a gospel
Whole choir now a fossil
Heard every plea, every story
Mercy drowned in the glory
You feel that chill in your torso?
That’s the last breath, mandatory
I don’t flinch when the lights cut
I’ve been living in the night’s gut
God in my left ear whispering, “stop”
Right ear laughing, “slice up”
So I carve my oath in the ash
Every footprint, fallout, crash
This is what you get when you ask
Who gon’ ride, who gon’ last
[Chorus]
Let the devil out
I’m born in the flame
Every shadow in my path
Gonna burn in my name
If you stand in the way
You get caught
