[Verse 1]

A kid up in this church

Kinda scared of what he's hearing

Bloody man up on the wall

So he's staring at the ceiling

He's feeling kinda queasy when they query 'bout communion

He fakes a stomach ache to take away what seems abusive

But if he don't do it they look

Kinda funny, they took

What they want, what they need

To stay hooked, they stay shook

I hate to say that, I hate to see this

But times like this, if I was God I would be heated, so I'm saying:

[Hook]

What if the Devil is a lie then?

I'm not afraid of my sins

I'm gonna ride for my kin

And if I had a God, I'd never die—because I'd bribe him

What if the Devil is a lie then?

I'm not afraid of dying

I'm gonna ride for my kin

And if I had a God, I'd never die—because I'd bribe him

[Verse 2]

Heavy handed

Get it candid

I'm the man with

Never politic and religion on campus

But when it comes to gettin' educated, you can stamp it

Put in the mail like your God was just a pamphlet

If he's just a pamphlet

Or if she's just a pamphlet

Preaching to a choir 'bout a buyer of enchantment

I ain't buying, I am selling

'Cause the Creflo dollar getting F-Low

Dollars up for [?]

So damn, how we gonna manage?

The coffer is an offer to the author of some panic

And I ain't gonna bow to any damage

You take those lungs and come back with an anthem

So put your motherfucking hands up!

[Hook]

What if the Devil is a lie then?

I'm not afraid of my sins

I'm gonna ride for my kin

And if I had a God, I'd never die—because I'd bribe him

What if the Devil is a lie then?

I'm not afraid of dying

I'm gonna ride for my kin

And if I had a God, I'd never die—because I'd bribe him

[Verse 3]

They tell the stories of devils

They tell the stories of levels

Purgatory, the glory

My fury is not disheveled

It's put together by facts

Put it up to the mirror

It breathes heavy, it's loaded

No motive, but I be clear on every song I've ever made

I still have questions

Time machine won't work, we need professors

If the keys won't turn, you need direction

What you work for, son? Let the heathens bless you

Terminology is foul, so it sounds ill

Keeps the people scared, keeps them scarred 'cause they will

Fuck a will, I ain't dying, I ain't trying to keep alive a Frankenstein instead of praying to a giant, uh

[Hook]

What if the Devil is a lie then?

I'm not afraid of my sins

I'm gonna ride for my kin

And if I had a God, I'd never die—because I'd bribe him

What if the Devil is a lie then?

I'm not afraid of dying

I'm gonna ride for my kin

And if I had a God, I'd never die—because I'd bribe him

What if the Devil is a lie then?

I'm not afraid of dying

I'm gonna ride for my kin

And if I had a God, I'd never die—because I'd bribe him
