[Verse 1]

This is a warning, another cut to move on

Another beat that's so strong

Hold on and I'll get wicked and then some

Stir up shit as the wit gets wisdom

P-Dog comin' up, I'm straight loc

Pro-Black and it ain't no joke

Comin' straight from the mob that broke shit last time

Now I'm back with a brand new sick rhyme

So, Black, check time and tempo

Revolution ain't never been simple

Followin' the path of Mao and Fanon just

Build your brain and we'll soon make progress

Paid your dues, don't snooze or lose

They came with the master plan that got you

So know who's opposed to the dominant dark skin

Food for thought as a law for the brother man


[Chorus]

But— But the devil made me (But the)

But— But the— But the devil made me (Devil)

But— But the— But the devil made me

But the— But the devil made me (Made me)

But— But— But the devil made me

But— But— But the devil made me

But— But— But the devil made me

But the— But the devil made me


[Verse 2]

P-Dog with a gift from Heaven

Tempo one-sixteen point seven

Keeps you locked in time with the program

When I get wild, I'll pile on dope jams

Then spit on your flag and government

'Cause help the Black was a concept never meant

Nigga please, food stamps and free cheese

Can't be the cure for a sick disease

Just the way the devil had planned it

Rape then pillage everyone on the planet

Then give 'em fake gods at odds with Allah

Love thy enemy and all that hoopla

Hear close the words I wrote

Crack cocaine and genocide on Black folk

Who in their right mind ever coulda missed this?

Damn right when you think seditious

And I move swiftly, you can't get with me

The triple six moved quick, but missed me

When I came off involved in conscience

So don't ask why next time I start this


[Chorus]

But— But— But the devil made me (Devil)

But— But— But the devil made me (Made me)

But the— But the— But the devil made me

But— But— But the devil made me

But the devil made me

But— But the devil made me

But— But— But the devil made me

But— But the devil made me


[Verse 3]

Now let's get wild, allow me to freestyle

I build and fill your mind up with know-how

And common sense, a defense to next time

A pig try to step to this, listen

Never let someone whoop on ya

That don't belong to the set you from

Ya can't be intrigued by the leads a pig lead

Unless you don't give a fuck to be free

Keep stompin' on, I keep stompin'

Attitude, but I ain't from Compton

I can't be fucked around or muffed around

I can't be held down, check the sound

And keep in tune, on point, on target

The revolution won't be thwarted

A setback 'cause, my man, it's plain to see

Must end all white supremacy

So let the rhythm roll on when I kick this

Brothers gonna work it out with a quickness

And now you know just why a panther went crazy

The devil made me


[Outro]

Beware the beast man, for he is the devil's pawn

He kills for sport, or lust or greed

Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land

Shun him, for he is the harbinger of death
