[Intro]
Ah
Uh (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
Baby girl, the devil gon' hold you down, you need to get up
Right now, it ain't no time to slip up
Had no sorrow, but baby girl, you need to fight
One more time, it might cost your life
The devil gon' hold you down, you need to get up
Right now, it ain't no time to slip up
Had no sorrow, but baby girl, you need to fight
One more high just might cost your life (Uh, C')
[Verse 1]
So it's like can't give it up for nothin'
Mama said the devil tryna lead me straight
"You need to pray, girl, he on your shoulder
He in your ear, he in your veins"
Sweat, heart palpitating, aching
I can't wait, you see me in pain, ain't seein' no reason in fightin'
The fuck it's the reason for prayin'?
How he finna save me? I'm too far gone
How I'm finna start now when it's so long?
How you finna give in like that? You ain't evеn gave it a try
I thought shit was strong
It's all in your head, he's all in your blood
Onе step back and you covered in mud
Can't give in, can't give up
Look at what you've become, it ain't where you belong
[Pre-Chorus]
The devil gon' hold you down, sweet poison
The devil gon' hold you down, sweet poison
[Chorus]
Baby girl, the devil gon' hold you down, you need to get up
Right now, it ain't no time to slip up
Had no sorrow, but baby girl, you need to fight
One more time, it might cost your life
The devil gon' hold you down, you need to get up
Right now, it ain't no time to slip up
Had no sorrow, but baby girl, you need to fight
One more high just might cost your life
[Verse 2]
Waist deep in the mud until you covered in dust
But now you don't give a fuck 'cause he's too hard to give up
But see, nobody wanna answer when you call now
Ain't nobody finna catch you if you fall down
And you too guilty with the Lord to even call out
Crawling right back to his arms 'cause he don't call out
But you gon' crawl right back to him when you all out
It's too late 'cause they can't hear you if you call out
[Pre-Chorus]
The devil gon' hold you down, sweet poison
The devil gon' hold you down, sweet poison
[Chorus]
Baby girl, the devil gon' hold you down, you need to get up
Right now, it ain't no time to slip up
Had no sorrow, but baby girl, you need to fight
One more time, it might cost your life
The devil gon' hold you down, you need to get up
Right now, it ain't no time to slip up
Had no sorrow, but baby girl, you need to fight
One more high just might cost your life
[Outro]
Poison, poison, poison, uh, nah, nah, nah, nah
Poison, poison, poison, uh, nah, nah, nah, nah
