Devil On My Back

[Chorus – melodic, spaced out | echo on key words]
Devil on my back (baaaack…)
Demons on my feet (feeeet…)
Every time I walk
I see evil in front of me

Devil on my back (back…)
Demons on my feet (feet…)
Every step I take
Feel that darkness under me

⸻

[Verse 1 – half-sung, half-rap]
Hustle every day, money on my mind
Devil by my side, I can’t leave him behind
People that I meet got that evil inside
They’ll eat you up alive

I can see it in they eyes
They wishing I would die
But that fire deep inside
Got me walking with my pride

I’m just tryna survive
Working nine to five
But that shit felt fake, yeah, that shit felt like a lie
So I roll one up… let it take me high

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – emotional lift]
Gotta keep it low, gotta stay out the way
‘Cause the ones you love turn fake in a day
Everybody watching, they don’t wanna see you paid
They just wanna take what you made

⸻

[Chorus – smoother, layered vocals]
Devil on my back (baaaack…)
Demons on my feet (feeeet…)
Every time I walk
I see evil in front of me

Devil on my back (back…)
Demons on my feet (feet…)
Every step I take
Feel that darkness under me

⸻

[Verse 2 – more melodic, reflective]
Keep it on the low like I’m moving that blow
‘Cause the people that I know wanna take what I own
Demons and goons, yeah, hoodlums and thieves
Hoodies and guns, they ain’t playing for keeps

Where you lay your head, better watch that zone
Even your day ones turn cold as stone
Gotta stay sharp, can’t slip, can’t fall
Even your best friend might cross you, dawg

⸻

[Bridge – Zaro-style emotional break]
What would Jesus do…?
I been asking for a sign
Trying to do right
But this darkness on my mind

Please believe me…
I’m just fighting to be free
Got these demons on my back
And they walking over me

⸻

[Final Chorus – biggest, layered harmonies]
Devil on my back (baaaack…)
Demons on my feet (feeeet…)
Every time I walk
I see evil in front of me

Devil on my back (back…)
Demons on my feet (feet…)
Every step I take
Feel that darkness under me
