The Devil is A Lie
Rare of Breed
(Intro) When you come from the bottom, the only way is up (Mack 11, Mack 11) He told you you wouldn't make it, you'd never be enough (Chorus) Got a chip on your shoulder when you get it out the mud When you come from the bottom, the only way is up He told you you wouldn't make it, you'd never be enough Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie When you come from the bottom, the only way is up He told you you wouldn't make it, you'd never be enough, uh (Verse 1) Living water, you can get a cup Make the Devil flee and tell him, "Giddy up" I grew up down south with the mud slinging And the bop blaring, I'ma hit him up When I met Christ, I was broken down Just a lost kid with nowhere to go He put a fire in me and the end result Was some clean music with a nasty flow, uh Back in the day, I would sit in the car With a pen and pad and a smoke box The Devil said that was reality Playing a game with my life, this ain't Roblox You'll never control me, trying to fill me with doubt (Never) You might as well sit in your corner 'Cause if you come out to the middle, I'm knocking you out You know it's a early morning rise to grab the boots and get to stomping Got the Devil on my case, I promise he gon' get this Word Book of Life inside the pocket, there ain't no way he can stop it If he tried promise everybody here, gon' go to church, y'all (Y'all) (Chorus) Got a chip on your shoulder when you get it out the mud When you come from the bottom, the only way is up He told you you wouldn't make it, you'd never be enough Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie When you come from the bottom, the only way is up He told you you wouldn't make it, you'd never be enough, uh (Verse 2) Used to walk around tiptoeing on eggshells, trying to keep myself in line This here wasn't overnight It was a ten-year grind, even if I never made a dime It was purpose-driven, I was never quitting Even when the people tried to break me down I learned a lesson It wasn't always the Devil showing up, tryna take me out But I forgive you now, that's grace Hold a grudge and I said, "No way" Showing love 'cause when Christ came He beared the cross that I should have faced He kept knocking, I opened up with no hesitation I got the door Tears flowing, that's real talk, next thing I know, my knees hit the floor Praying to the Father for my family and my future I just hope that we can prosper 'cause my past has been a wreck Then He told me I been chosen, I don't have no place to fear Now get up and lace your boots, it's time to stop the Devil's neck (Chorus) Got a chip on your shoulder when you get it out the mud When you come from the bottom, the only way is up He told you you wouldn't make it, you'd never be enough Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie When you come from the bottom, the only way is up He told you you wouldn't make it, you'd never be enough, uh
