Yeah, the devil's full of lies
He coats them in disguise
Tries to take you down the wrong path every single time
You're sitting next to 'puter
And you think of compromise
Being led to the slider to your own demise
You think that it's of God cause the world says so
But in truth, you grieve the spirit and that's an oh no
Man, you're being pushed by the devil like a domino
You're supposed to run from lust like Mario
I don't do this for show
Man, I wanna speak the truth, bro
I wanna take the word of God
And plant the seed and sow
What I really want is for you to grow
And I want you to know
That God loves you so much
And you need to take the narrow road
You don't need the sin, bro
You're on the wrong episode
What you need to do is get in your word and in that mode
It's time to get back what the devil owed
Overload his abode
That's our mode
Aye, that's our mode
Two, four, six, eight Get your life straight
Pull your weight Lose those traits
That's from the devil Who you should hate
Turn to God Get a blank slate
Turn to sin Get devil's bait
You're letting demons into your estate
Yeah, you need to fumigate
Don't debate whether it's fake
Throw it away Get free today
Don't do cliches Yeah, we don't play
That's what devil wants for you to decay
Yeah, we need to pray that God will slay the devil cause he betrayed
Yeah, when you sin you let the devil have a heyday
And I don't care what you have to say
No excuses if you follow Jesus
Aye, he's the only way Sin will bite Don't try to play
Or you'll fall prey to the devil
Or you'll fall prey to the devil
Yeah, I don't do this for show
Man, I want to speak the truth, bro
I want to take the word of God
And plant the seed and sow
What I really want is for you to grow
And I want you to know
That God loves you so much
And you need to take the narrow road
You don't need to sin, bro
You're on the wrong episode
What you need to do is get in your word
And in that mode
It's time to get back what the devil owed
Overload his abode That's our mode
Ay, that's our mode
