[Intro: Paul Harvey]

If i were the Devil


[Chorus]

I had the same motto

“You better take over”

I just only need lovin’

Yea

I had the same motto

“You better take over”

I just only need lovin’

Yea


[Verse 1: MidKnyte & Paul Harvey]

If i was the Devil (If i were the Devil)

I’d pick on a small family for life

I’d make every get together a fight

I’d make them feel like they’re

Steppin’ on needles while they alive

I’d make thе family argue every night

And thеn let another one take they life

I’d shut down any attempts for help

I’d make them cry to themselfs

I’d make half of them use drugs

Then i’d make the other one cut

After that, i’d probably mess around

With a kids youth

Get him traumatized and get him used

Get his personality borderline and him abused

Make him get into all these feuds

Get that same child a neglectful dad

With only false hope, it’d be bad, but

If i was the Devil

I’d make that kid’s mom hate her life

I’d make her want to take a knife

And take her life, uh

If i was the Devil

The prince of darkness (prince of darkness)

I’d make two brothers suicidal

Because i’m heartless

One went through, other one held back

SB was why, and i felt that

If i was the Devil

I’d make a lovin’ women’s life hell

I’d make her get abused and used

Shot, sick and her stuff selled

I’d make her daughter die

And the killer barely jailed

I’d make her suffer through pain

Not only grief, but by her fate

I’d make that boys grandma hurt by men

That cheat and beat on her and leave her in the end

I’ll make every day, where she defends

And everytime, she’ll get no revenge

I’d make her daughters argue about who's worse

With everyone yellin’ about gettin’ each a divorce

I’d make everything a competition

It’ll be no love, just fake winnin’

I’d make that same boys grandpas dirtbags

They in hell, so i guess they heard that

I’d make the families chances go way back

I guess, if i was the Devil

I’d just lay back


[Chorus: Paul Harvey]

I’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness

And I’d have a third of its real estate, and four-fifths of its population

But I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree, thee

So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States

I’d subvert the churches first - I’d begin with a campaign of whispers

With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: ‘Do as you please

(I had the same motto

“You better take over”

I just only need lovin’

Yea

I had the same motto

“You better take over”

I just only need lovin’

Yea)


[Verse 2: MidKnyte]

If i was the Devil

I’d change all the schools

Flunk ‘em kids, drop ‘em out

And make ‘em “cool”

I’d make bullying ok

I’d make the staff stand with it

Then i’d make shootings happens that take innocents

If i was the Devil, i’d fund genocides

Fund the rich, and ‘em pedos, i’d minimize

I’d slaughter for oil and rule for power

I’d trade air for dirt, and money for flowers

I’d milk out every resource and destroy it

Then i’d laugh, sit back and enjoy it

If i were the Devil

I’d lower the age of consent

So countries like Niger and Japan won't be in contempt

I’d make bestiality legal and normalized

Call it “culture” and get it demoralized

Then i’d make prostitution legal, women sellin’ they bodies

I’d make websites promote it public, callin’ it they “hobbies”

I’d make pedos and incest apart of porn

And push it to agendas, where they watch it on the norm

I’d make figures make rape legal

Where women have to have the baby

I’d take away they rights

Then gaslight and call them crazy

I’d make it ok for girls to be sexist

Just because they had bad exes

I’d make every country violent

With no promise of silence

I’d kill every person that did good

And put others right in the hood

I’d make poverty acceptable, it’s ok

Then i’d make groups traffic cocaine

I’d make sex transactional, there’s no lovin’

Basically, if were the Devil, i’d do nothing


[Chorus]

I had the same motto

“You better take over”

I just only need lovin’

Yea

I had the same motto

“You better take over”

I just only need lovin’

Yea
