Ain't the Devil happy - Jeru the Damaja verse 1

As devils search for the secrets to immortality.

I alter my physical chemistry.

Walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

I exist even when no things are left.

Vibrations transcend space and time.

Pure at heart because I deal with the mind.

That's why I compose these verses.

Lord of all worlds, my thoughts are now universes.

Written on these pages is the ageless.

Wisdom of the sages.  

Ignorance is contagious.

So, I hope you keep your focus.

There's no hocus-pocus, in the end, it's just us.

Devil got brother killin' brother, it's insane.

Goin' out like Abel and Cain.

Wisen up and use your brain. 

There'll be no limit, to the things that you can gain.

In positivity, balance it with negativity.

Until then, ain't the devil happy.

Ain't the Devil happy - Jeru the Damaja verse 2

I hate when the devil's happy, so I wear my hair nappy.

Knotty, won't go out like John Gotti.
He came from the caves to destroy everybody.

And we like fools destroy our own bodies.

Too many niggas killing', bad boys boom, boom.

This leaves no room for the flowers to bloom.

Seeds blow in the wind, another drug killing.

What, are we accomplishing? Nothing.

What's the matter?
Why every time I look around another brain gets splattered?
Some pockets get fatter but it don't matter.

The devil's the only one who really gets fatter.

Lead ruptures flesh, spleens are shattered,
dreams are shattered, another queen without a king.

What will our children become without proper guidance?

Probably nothing, so ain't the devil happy.

Ain't the Devil happy - Jeru the Damaja verse 3

Niggas are in a state of nothingness, hopelessness, lifelessness.

If you're in range I hope you hear this, and try to change this, 'cause it's disastrous.

Who gets the most loot, who gets bust?

Dollar bill y'all, is the God we trust.

The days blow by like dust.

Even Men of Steel rust.

We're out here acting ridiculous.
When, only we can save us.

Mentally enslave us, for little or nothing kill our neighbors.

Animalistic, cannibalistic behavior.

Look to the sky for your savior.

He won't save ya, he didn't save your forefathers.

Why bother, brothers? You must discover
the power of self, know thyself or find thyself.

Hating thyself, killing thyself.

While he collects the wealth.

That you sit back and murder for.

Ain't the devil happy.
