Devil's Pie

Rhymefest

Composed by: Che Smith/Julian Casablancas/Mark Ronson
{"Oh someday... no I ain't wastin no more tiiiime"} 

[Rhymefest] 
Southside step up, and get you a slice 
Eastside step up, and get you a slice 
Westside step up, and get you a slice 
Northside step up, and get you a slice 
Chi-Town step up, and get you a slice 
L.A. step up, and get you a slice 
N.Y. step up, and get you a slice 
It's just a slice of the devil's pie, ah-c'mon 

[Chorus] 
{"Christians all say"} Yeah they say 
{"In God we trust"} Uh-huh 
{"What we gon' do, when he comes back 'round to us"} 
Well it's not for us to say 
{"Everyday, yeahhh"} 
{"Girls drugs dancers and lust"} Uh-huh, uh-huh 
{"What we gon' do when it all comes back to us"} 

[Rhymefest] 
Look; times is hard, life is hard 
I lost my job, baby oh my God 
My wife is nauseous, she pregnant as hell 
My mistress on the cell sayin she gon' tell 
My Uncle in the cell sayin he want bail 
My granddaddy can't see, claimin he need Braille 
I'm fightin for strength, in the street grindin for cents 
I know I'm ahead of my time but I'm behind on my rent 
Askin Kanye for money just to pay on my gas bill 
He asked me for it back, nigga brush up on your math skills 
Nothin plus zip equals zero; he couldn't relate 
That nigga ain't been broke since "H to the Izzo" 
That's whem my man Biddle stopped by with two little 
pills I could put in the bag and sell like Skittles 
One for ten, fifteen for two 
Now tell me what the fuck am I supposed to do? 

[Chorus w/ different ad libs] 

[Rhymefest] 
Take a neighborhood full of hongry blacks 
within 3 beeper shops, 2 liquor stores and one laundromat 
No banks, just a Check'n'Go, everywhere you go 
You don't wanna ask too much though 
We gon' make a tasty pastry, that you can't get in a bakery 
I picture hopelessness from slavery {*gasp*} 
Can you smell it yet, a few churches that almost care 
I know you heathens ready to eat, we almost there 
Somebody pass a couple of gangs of glocks 
Politicians are quick to cop, sprinkle pie me on the top 
While I, couldn't be faster, recipe for disaster 
Gunshots is the devil's laughter 
Like you tried to play fair and yo' ass lost 
Then you tried to get gangsta, homey you mad soft 
Overcrowded jails puttin pounds on Ashcroft 
Don't forget the glaze, your devils buyin the crack sauce 

[Chorus w/ different ad libs] 

[Rhymefest] 
Now George Bush step up, and get you a slice 
Tony Blair step up, and get you a slice 
Rumsfeld step up, and get you a slice 
Condi Rice step up, and get you a slice 
Wait, I'ma step up, and get you a slice 
My baby momma stepped up, and got her a slice 
E'rybody step up, and get you a slice 
It's just a slice of the devil's pie, ah-c'mon 

I said - step right up, hear ye hear ye 
Hear me clearly this here more than theory 
Young males plays the judge and jury 
Black filled with fury first time I met my dad 
Through a cell, wire and phone, wiring home 
Back in my cell and dyin alone, prayin to God 
Like I'm raggedly sewn, askin the Lord - why ain't I home 
Regardless of what I was on, I know you the king 
Tell Satan I don't owe him a thing 
Slingin them O's, and now he got my soul in the sling 
I know I messed up a couple of times 
Bust some nines, on anybody fuckin with mine 
That's when my life got disasterous, I was blasphemous 
I know my momma didn't ask for this 
You got them demons waitin for me with the caskets lit 
Please Lord, let this bastard live 

[Chorus w/ different ad libs] 

[Rhymefest] 
Yeah yeah, Chi-Town in the house 
Rhymefest in the house 
Yo Mark, get out here nigga 
We gotta go get up with these girls 
These guns, this pussy... [fades]
