Yo, step into the shadows where the fire don’t flicker right, Eyes like coals, seein’ souls in the dead of night, Humans twistin’ truth like a noose ‘round they own neck, Perceivin’ me as the villain, but check the deck— I’m the mirror they shatter, the whisper in the wind, Temptation’s architect, buildin’ empires of sin, They blame me for the greed, the lust, the endless chase, But I ain’t pull the trigger, just offered the case, See the world through my lens, blood-red and razor-sharp, Politicians lyin’, families fallin’ apart, Kids starvin’ in streets while the rich hoard the feast, I laugh ‘cause they think I’m the beast, but they unleashed, The real devil’s in the details, in the hearts gone cold, Sellin’ dreams for dollars, tradin’ youth for gold, Perception’s a prison, bars forged from fear, They see horns on my head, but the monster’s right here. (Chorus) Devil’s perception, flip the script on the game, See the angels fallin’, callin’ out my name, Twisted visions, illusions in the flame, Humanity’s reflection, who’s really to blame? Fast as the fall, quick as the strike, Perceive what you want, but the truth cuts like a knife. Yo, zoom in on the chaos, cities burnin’ bright, Wars for oil, power struggles in the dead of night, I perch on shoulders, whisper sweet nothins’ of hate, But they choose to listen, seal they own fate, Moms cryin’ for sons lost to the streets’ cruel grip, Dads absent, chasin’ highs on a one-way trip, Love turned to poison, trust shattered like glass, They point fingers at me, but I ain’t the mass, I’m the echo of choices, the shadow of doubt, Perceivin’ paradise lost, screamin’ it out, From boardrooms to bedrooms, corruption runs deep, I offer the apple, but they take the leap, Fast flow like venom, spittin’ fire from the pit, See the world as I do—ain’t no quit in it, Heroes turn villains, saints become snakes, Perception’s the devil, makin’ real from the fakes. (Chorus) Devil’s perception, flip the script on the game, See the angels fallin’, callin’ out my name, Twisted visions, illusions in the flame, Humanity’s reflection, who’s really to blame? Fast as the fall, quick as the strike, Perceive what you want, but the truth cuts like a knife. Final verse, accelerate, no brakes on the ride, I see potential squandered, geniuses hidin’ inside, Artists starvin’, while frauds get the shine, Revolutions spark, then fizzle in time, They pray for salvation, but ignore the signs, Build walls ‘round they minds, cross invisible lines, I’m the catalyst, the spark in the dark, But they fuel the fire, leavin’ permanent marks, Perception warps reality, turns light into shade, They fear what they can’t see, in the bed that they made, From the cradle to grave, it’s a cycle of lies, I watch from the throne, with unblinkin’ eyes, So next time you curse me, look deep in the well, The devil’s perception? It’s your own private hell
