Dance With the Devil Songtext
von Upchurch

Every night that I′m alone, I fall in a different zone
I am in a place, my body isn't needed anymore
I see phantoms at my window, third level of my estate
They walk on a certain level, lookin′ at me, through a double pane

They see mine, their's is Jane, we both nod, we both wave
They're probably just lost, like me, but never had the time to spare
But even if we did it, probably wouldn′t catch my lingo
Lookin′ at me skeptical, like I was Johnny Ringo

It's safe to say that they don′t mean no harm, though
They whisper to me, 'til my eyes fall inside my pillow
Put me in a natural trip, to levels of dimensions
Let me see my future, through some type of supernatural premonition

I-I-I don′t want to dance with the Devil
I just want to confront him, at a table
And I don't need your hollow promise
I just need to look you in the eyes, and tell you that


You didn′t help me make it
You didn't help me make it
You didn't help me make it
You didn′t help me make it

The Devil, he wears a scarf, full of fake happiness and promises
He says he calls your city, like things of gold and accomplishments
But, I′ve been readin' documents, that say your words are counterfeit
Get a lesson, in myself, with no reason to be announcin′ it

Times have changed, I've stepped away
From the deception of the man, that′s lookin' over Broadway
I know the power of myself, so I′m takin' full percentage
While they sleepin' on me, I′m sleepin′ in these white linens

When the stage lights all go out, I'll be okay
Stay high all day, in the shade
My mind went up, it didn′t come down
It flows, all alone, in the grace lands

And, I don't want to dance with the Devil
I just want to confront him, at a table
And, I don′t need your hollow promise
I just need to look you in the eyes, and tell you that


You didn't help me make it
You didn′t help me make it
You didn't help me make it
You didn't help me make it

I don′t want to dance with the Devil
I′ve been on my grind, like the whole time
So, I'm on a whole different level
You can see it in my eyes, I was built for this
It′s finally my time, yeah, I killed for this
Plotted from the sidelines, 'til I made the shift
Now, it′s my time for the takin'

I′m just chasin' money, tryna dodge the fame
I had plenty of problems, before I had my chain
Now, my diamonds are blindin', even in all of your shade
You didn′t help me make it, that′s a fact, I'm happy to say

I-I-I don′t want to dance with the Devil
I just want to confront him, at a table
And, I don't need your hollow promise
I just need to look you in the eyes, and tell you that

You didn′t help me make it
You didn't help me make it
You didn′t help me make it
You didn't help me make it
