Lyrics DEVIL PART OF TOWN Lyrics, Music/Leroy Hall Jr./Eric Hall (Verse 1) Eighty-eight southern nigga used to like friends Now I’m all alone since the devil moved in Only people that I hang around is my kin Drink with my family, rap with my twin I don’t feel safe around niggas that’s new ‘Cause half of them niggas don’t do what I do If I knew voodoo this what I’d do Curse fake niggas and make ‘em all true 2002 is the year of they got Want diamond necklaces, clothes like they got Want fast cars and hoes like they got Once a nigga get it, it don’t mean a whole lot See, money bring problems yall boys don’t understand You call yourself a man, be a fucking man Instead of buying necklaces cost a hundred grand Put some of that money in them po’ folks hands See, niggas steady talking ‘bout twenty twin twins That’s the Lord leaving devil moving in (Chorus Repeat 2x) Devil’s Part of Town, God don’t enter Niggas now a days hearts cold as the winter Used to be a city of family and friends But shit done changed since the devil moved in (Verse 2) I remember way back when the devil moved in That’s about the time all the bullshit begin Dope by the boatloads, brought the drugs in Turned friends into enemies and men against men No reverence for life, got the hood red hot Corrupting all our kids, got ‘em talking ‘bout busting shots Telling cops to roll through and kill folks with no remorse Got ‘em breaking all them laws they were sworn to enforce Turned our women into hoes, leaving kids at home to starve Got ‘em jumping in and out of cars and shaking ass in bars Good Lord I wonder why sometimes the streets they had to change The devil got our people on the corner slanging cane Shit done gone down the drain, I see death on every corner Gave a girl a case of aids to spread around like blood donors Like the omen, no regard when he’s walking through the hood Talking good to get you hooked, let me make this understood (Chorus Repeat 2x) (Verse 3) I was overseas when the devil moved in 19 in Japan chilling with my twin That’s about the time all the drugs flowed in That’s about the time niggas got throwed then Swamps turned red from the bodies thrown in Nigga I aint lying, ask moma them They was right there when the shit hit the fin Pouring out liquor when another life end Never come home moma hanging up the phone Said to myself this a fucking war zone Roe city shitty, a thousand miles away I can’t help my family, but I can pray Lord if you got to take someone take me first ‘Cause aint no way I can see my woman in a hearse And aint no way I can see my daughters in a hearse And aint no way I can see my moma in a hearse And aint no way I can see my sister in a hearse Lord aint no way I can see my brothers in a hearse Talking good first, but now my face frowned Mad like a mother fucka’ devil part of town (Chorus Repeat 4x)
