[Intro: Zoe Nash & G-Eazy]

Ever seen a devil with a halo?

Ever seen an angel with some horns?

Everybody got their own demons (Yeah)

Everybody fightin' their own war (Uh)

Oh-oh


[Verse 1: G-Eazy]

When you move as fast as I'm movin'

All the toxic things that I'm usin'

All the substances I'm abusin'

All the sex, and the drugs, and the booze and

The decision is mine for the choosin'

But I can't understand what I'm losin'

'Cause I been this way, it's not a new thing

I know a Gemini can be confusing

Split right down the middle like there's two of me

No hidin', I bare all nudity

This is everything that comes with celebrity

Criticism, ridicule and the scrutiny

Think about what I spent on some jewelry

But it all comes back to me usually

And it's none of y'alls business truthfully

You don't know 'bout the fame, what it do to me

I'm talking to myself like every night

"You could try to be a better guy"

But to understand a Gemini

Angel, Devil, it's both him and I

Demons in me, they just multiply

If I don't kill 'em all, I never try

Life is short, and men lie, women lie

But a legend, he could never die

[Chorus: Zoe Nash & G-Eazy]

Ever seen a devil with a halo? (Y'know, uh)

Ever seen an angel with some horns? (Y'know)

Everybody got their own demons

Everybody fightin' their own war (Uh)

I can be an angel sometimes, I can be real fucked up

I miss you only sometimes, I give you real tough love (Yeah)

'Cause I'm a devil with a halo

Whoa, oh-oh (Yeah)

Oh-oh


[Verse 2: G-Eazy]

Put the hours in, put the work in

Swear I try so hard to be perfect

But sometimes, shit feels like a burden

'Cause I still ain't shit but a person

Switch lanes in the Porsche that I'm swervin'

Tell myself, "Slow down off the bourbon

When you drive like that, it made me nervous"

Not tonight, not closing the curtains

When I die, not trying to see hell

Feel like I'm headed that way in a V12

And I just broke up with my female

On tour, had to do it by email

But that's all, I'ma save you the detail

Therapy with a beat and a freestyle

Either way, live today, I'ma be well

'Cause I never wanna let 'em see me fail

I'm talkin' to myself, "What's wrong wit' you?

You should make some songs to turn up to

Thinkin' too much like you usually do

'Til you drink some liquor, then you're cool

Throw your brain away, that's all it takes

Dumb it down, but that's not what he makes

Then say fuck the sales and fuck the biz'

It's not that easy, Gerald, nothing is"

[Chorus: Zoe Nash & G-Eazy]

Ever seen a devil with a halo (Yeah)

Ever seen an angel with some horns (Y'know)

Everybody got their own demons

Everybody fightin' their own war (Uh)

I can be an angel sometimes, I can be real fucked up

I miss you only sometimes, I give you real tough love

'Cause I'm a devil with a halo

Whoa, oh-oh

Oh-oh
