[Intro: Ludacris & Billy Paul]

Your time has come for bad things to end

The time has come for life to begin

Yes

The time has come for the war of the gods

It's that time

I'mma take the subtle approach first

'Cause I'm just gettin started

Let's go

Look

[Verse 1: Ludacris]

I'm the best and there's nothing that you can do about it (Nope)

Never needed a publicity stunt, let's tell the truth about it (Yeah)

Even in the core of the streets, you can't sway the youth about it (Nah)

But keep running yo mouth, and I swear I'mma knock a tooth up out it (Blaow)

I never claimed to be nothing but who the fuck I am (Chris)

Never sold cocaine in my life, but I'm still the fuckin man (Damn right)

Understand, nothing you did makes you better nigga

You claim the streets, but the streets respect that cheddar, nigga

Luda got twice as much; your life, you can charge it to 'em (Ching)

I fit four of your houses inside my daughters room (Woo)

And still have room for young Karma to play

Givin back to the children of tommorrow, for good karma today

So you can say what you wanna say, and you can talk that talk

But real niggas ain't doing no talking, 'cause we walk that walk

Album for album, you can see I got a multi-million plan

So call yourself whatever you want except the multi-million man, nigga!

[Chorus: Ludacris & Billy Paul]

Lucifer, oh Lucifer

Whatever you want except the multi-million man, nigga

God of evil, you're the god of hate

Call yourself whatever you want except the multi-million man, nigga

Lucifer, oh Lucifer

Call yourself whatever you want except the multi-million man, nigga

The darkness is waiting, fire and light

How many, man?

[Verse 2: Ludacris]

How many times is you gon rap about busting your gun? (Come on)

How many times is you gon trap without busting your gun? (Gon' bust it)

Only shots you ever took were subliminal to the general

Disrespecting those doing real time with real criminals (Woo)

And I ain't never did a day in my life

But it should be illegal to walk a day in my life

I paid the price and the cost to be the boss

So you can rest your mouth

I'm universal, Luda never limits hisself to the south

I give a damn about your hootin and hollerin, it ain't bothering me

I hear you talkin but you ain't made it to three

You know where I live, but you ain't made it to me—you ain't made, nigga

I'm havin a house party, kid, come get played, nigga

You got played, my record label never jerked me

So shoot me, stab me, but words will never hurt me

I feed off your energy (Woo), my power's with God

So it's even better if you make your diss record real hard

[Chorus: Ludacris & Billy Paul]

Lucifer, oh Lucifer

Make the record real hard

God of evil, you're the god of hate

Make the record real hard

Lucifer, oh Lucifer

Ya diss record real hard

The darkness is waiting, fire and light

[Verse 3: Ludacris]

See, even without all that bass and treble, I'm as hot as the devil

But I work for the top floor, homie, get on my level

I been stripped away your powers, 'cause I gave you my blessing

So it'll take more than majority vote to win this election

Man, mixtapes are not my resume, it's too hot

And I warned them I was coming, I got that number-one spot

So unless you using tampons, quit acting stuck up

And do like your records say, or shut the fuck! up

[Chorus: Ludacris & Billy Paul]

Do like your records say, or shut the fuck up

Do like your records say, or shut the fuck up

Shut the fuck up

Ch-ch-ch-ch-shut the fuck up

[Outro: Sample]

Lucifer, oh Lucifer

God of evil, you're the god of hate

Lucifer, oh Lucifer

The darkness is waiting, fire and light
