Devil's Pie

About Devil's Pie

"Devil's Pie" is a song by American R&B and neo soul musician D'Angelo, released October 31, 1998 on Virgin Records. It was issued as a promotional single for his second studio album, 2000's Voodoo. The song was composed by D'Angelo and hip hop producer DJ Premier of the group Gang Starr. "Devil's Pie" served as a departure for D'Angelo from the urban contemporary style of his previous commercially successful singles to the more experimental, "jam"-like sound that is predominant on Voodoo, as well as the use of sampling in his music. The song appeared on the soundtrack to the 1998 film Belly. DJ Premier originally made the track for Canibus but later offered it to D'Angelo after Canibus rejected the song. more »

F*ck the slice  want the pie
Why ask why, till we fry
Watch us all, stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs, women wine
Three or four, at a time
Watch them all, stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie

Who am i, to justify
All the evil in our eye
When I myself, feel the high
From all that I despise
Behind the jail or in the grave
I have to lay, in this bed I made
If I die, before I wake
Hope the Lord don't hesitate

Get 2 heaven, went through hell
Tell my peeps, all is well
All them fools, whose soul's 4 sale
Sitting next to the Jezebel
Demons screaming, in my ear
All my anger, all my fear
If I holler, let them hear
In this spinning sphere

F*ck the slice  want the pie
Why ask why, till we fry
Watch us all, stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs, women wine
Three or four, at a time
Watch them all, stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie

Main ingredients 2 this dish
Goes like this, here's the list
Materialistic, greed and lust, jealousy, envious
Bread and dough, cheddar cheese,
flash and stash, cash and cream
Temperatures, at a high degree
Where niggas come 2 feast

Hell's this, all about
Apocalypse, ain't no doubt
Everybody's ho'ing out, all the loot all the clout
Right or wrong
Do or die
Only the vengeance, will pacify
Watch your back
And so will I
In these days and time

F*ck the slice  want the pie
Why ask why, till we fry
Watch us all, stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs, women wine
Three or four, at a time
Watch them all, stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie

Ain't no justice
It's just us
Ashes 2 ashes
Dust 2 dust
Time has come, for most of us
2 choose in which, God we trust
I know I, was born 2 die
Searching 2 find
Piece of mind
With eighty five, dumb and blind
There can be no compromise

F*ck the slice  want the pie
Why ask why, till we fry
Watch us all, stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs, women wine
Three or four, at a time
Watch them all, stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie

All in line, all in line,
for a slice of the devil's pie

All in line, all in line,
for a slice of the devil's pie

All in line, all in line,
for a slice of the devil's pie

All in line, all in line,
for a slice of the devil's pie

All in line, all in line,
for a slice of the devil's pie

All in line, all in line,
for a slice of the devil's pie

All in line, all in line,
for a slice of the devil's pie

All in line, all in line,
for a slice of the devil's pie
