Verse 1
Devil on my shoulder like smoke in the air
Always whisperin’ low like somebody cares
Says, “They talkin’ ‘bout you, yeah they want you to fall”
Paintin’ shadows on the back of my wall
Pre-Chorus
Every doubt he breathes, yeah it cuts like a knife
Tryna turn my peace into a fight
Chorus
But I ain’t listenin’ to the devil in the smoke
I’ve been down that road, yeah I already know
He’ll light that fire just to watch it burn
Laugh when the whole world turns
Nah, I ain’t buyin’ every lie he sold
I’m stronger than the weight he holds
Let ‘em talk, let ‘em doubt, let ‘em stare
I ain’t scared of the devil in the air
Verse 2
He says, “You ain’t enough, you’re just wastin’ time”
“Everyone you trust got a hidden side”
Tries to turn my friends into enemies
Tryna steal every bit of peace in me
Pre-Chorus
But I’ve heard that voice a thousand times before
Ain’t fallin’ for it anymore
Chorus
I ain’t listenin’ to the devil in the smoke
I’ve been down that road, yeah I already know
He’ll light that fire just to watch it burn
Laugh when the whole world turns
Nah, I ain’t buyin’ every lie he sold
I’m stronger than the weight he holds
Let ‘em talk, let ‘em doubt, let ‘em stare
I ain’t scared of the devil in the air
Bridge
Let him whisper, let him try
I see truth behind the lies
He don’t own this heart of mine
Not tonight
Final Chorus (slight lift)
I ain’t listenin’ to the devil in the smoke
Yeah I cut that line, now I’m in control
Let ‘em talk, let ‘em doubt, let ‘em stare
I ain’t scared of the devil in the air
