Devil Got His Wings

[Intro]
Yeah
Back to the lab
Uh
EL
[Verse 1]
Pitchfork on the counter
Halo in the sink
Humans in the gutter
Smiling while they drink
Blood on the contract
Laughin’ while it dries
Devil in the corner
Watchin’ bigger lies
He said, “I was built for the bad, but this is madness
Y’all burn hearts for a buck, then call it magic
You break souls just to brag on a screen
I just tempted, you invented new schemes”
Ash on the throne
Ash on your name
He walked through the war
Didn’t feel the same
Looked in the smoke
Saw his own face change
Red horns fade
White gold in the flame
[Chorus]
Devil got his wings, he don’t want your crown (nah)
Looked at all you did, had to turn around
If evil is a mirror, you the worst in town
He an angel in the sky while you drag the ground
He flyin’ solo, solo, solo (yeah)
Back to the lab of EL, ridin’ low-low
He said, “I’m better than the best of your sins”
So the devil got his wings, devil got his wings
[Verse 2]
Boardroom lookin’ just like brimstone
Lies in the air like cologne on a rich coat
Kids in a cage, but you postin’ a fishboat
Caption say “blessed,” but your blessings all misquotes
He watched preachers with a venom in they veins
Sellin’ hope by the ounce, takin’ checks, takin’ names
Thought he ran hell, then he saw your cities
“Man, this earth my old job, but they did it more gritty”
So he cracked his chains like brittle glass
Dropped his pitchfork in the past
Stepped from shadow, light hit fast
Black wings burst into shards of glass
Feathers turn silver, scars turn clean
Old red eyes turn soft, then beam
He said, “If I’m the villain in the story you tell
Why every single day you rewrite my hell?”
[Chorus]
Devil got his wings, he don’t want your crown (uh)
Looked at all you did, had to turn around
If evil is a mirror, you the worst in town
He an angel in the sky while you drag the ground
He flyin’ solo, solo, solo (fly)
Back to the lab of EL, ridin’ low-low
He said, “I’m better than the best of your sins”
So the devil got his wings, devil got his wings
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to sparse 808 and pads]
Up, up, out the smoke (out the smoke)
Past black towers that you built from jokes (cold)
Every cruel laugh is a nail in a beam
He just rise high, cut ties with the scene
Back to the lab where the codes got wrote
Where mercy in the margins, truth in the notes
He said, “EL, they darker than me, for real”
Voice from the light said, “That’s why you healed”
[Chorus]
Devil got his wings, he don’t want your crown
Looked at all you did, had to turn around
If evil is a mirror, you the worst in town
He an angel in the sky while you drag the ground
He flyin’ solo, solo, solo (yeah)
Back to the lab of EL, ridin’ low-low
He said, “I’m better than the best of your sins” (uh)
So the devil got his wings, devil got his wings (wings)

rap, Dark cinematic trap, slow 808 bounce and skittering hats, bell-like lead and ominous choir stabs. Male vocals switch between low, menacing verses and melodic, auto-tuned hook. Chorus lifts with layered harmonies and airy pads, last hook adds distant children’s choir and filtered drums for a haunting, triumphant outro.
