Album:  No Love Boulevard
Song:   Devil In Me
Typed by: Lil Hustle

(*Intro*)
Z-Ro did what? Z-Ro sold his soul?
Nah, Z-Ro ain't sold nothing
You see the verses are for sale, the hooks and the songs are for sale
The performances, that's for sale
But Z-Ro's soul, nah that ain't for sale
You see they worked our ancestors fingers to the bone, on a slave plantation
And they stole from us our culture, they stole our language
They stole everything from us, but the one thing that they could not steal
Was the soul of our people, so what do we look like
Giving up the only thing we got left, and that's our soul
So nah, Z-Ro ain't sold his soul
If Z-Ro sold anything to the devil, it wasn't nothing but a dream

Yeah, never sell my soul

[Chorus: (Ronnie & Ronetta Spencer)]
If I woulda signed that contract, I'd be richer than rich
But when they say die, I'd have to die face down in that ditch
(Everybody wanna try, to bring out the devil in me
What keeps my soul at ease, is G-O-D)
If I attended that ceremony, I'd be better off
Find myself a celebrity, but I'd be forever lost
(Everybody wanna try, to bring out the devil in me
What keeps my soul at ease, is G-O-D)

[Z-Ro]
What good is it for me, to gain the world but yet lose my soul
I woulda been a millionaire, since 20 years old
I wouldn't have had to pay, for all of these diamonds and gold
Just sacrifice one of my people, I ain't really know
They say hell is a party, that's right under the flo'
And even if I live righteous, that's where I gotta go
Sign this contract, and my savior won't know me no mo'
But while I'm living, I'm a king and I'm rolling in do'
Blood in blood out, that's the rule
Royal penis is clean, I don't even tie my shoe
I wouldn't even get to see, none of my Hoover blues
No mo' Mo City for me, I'd be kicking it with the Jews
It would feel like I'm winning, but in the end I would lose
Keep rolling with G-O-D, my salvation is what I choose
And even though they don't know me, everywhere they should
I'm blessed and I'm satisfied, I made it out of my hood

[Chorus]

[Z-Ro]
Grandma Dorothy, would probably turn over in her grave
If she thought I did something, that would keep me from being saved
She said grandson, the Lord gon' be with you all of your days
Long as you don't start tripping, and stop giving him his praise
But I wanna live in a mansion, and travel in private planes
I'd be rich messing with Satan, with God I got pocket change
Woulda been rich a long time ago, doing all type of big thangs
But I woulda died a long time ago too, being thankful is what I'm gon' do
It never was easy it's always hard, I'm thankful for what I go through
You know me, but if you don't know God I can't say I know you
I need to work on my temper, Lord I be going off
It been 20 years, I'm still in this game like I know I lost
They don't mess with me, like they mess with Jeezy Luda and Ross
But it's all good though, I keep doing my thang I am a boss
Even though they don't know me, everywhere they should
I'm blessed and I'm satisfied, I made it out of my...uh

[Chorus]

[Ronnie Spencer]
But I ain't everybody, I just wanna be me
Making my own destiny, in this industry
Hella-ways just to get paid, ain't all good money
All of the fortune and fame, the way God planned for me

Yeah oh, the ay God planned for me yeah
Everybody, everybody
Every-every-every-every-every-every-every-everybody
La-da-da-da-da-la-da-da-da-da yeah, mmmm well well well
