Album: The Devil Is a Lie - Single

Intro
When you come from the bottom, the only way is up (Mack 11, Mack 11)
He told you you wouldn't make it, you'd never be enough

Chorus
Got a chip on your shoulder when you get it out the mud
When you come from the bottom, the only way is up
He told you you wouldn't make it, you'd never be enough
Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie
Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie
Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie
When you come from the bottom, the only way is up
He told you you wouldn't make it, you'd never be enough, uh

Verse 1
Living water, you can get a cup
Make the Devil flee and tell him, "Giddy up"
I grew up down south with the mud slinging
And the bop blaring, I'ma hit him up
When I met Christ, I was broken down
Just a lost kid with nowhere to go
He put a fire in me and the end result
Was some clean music with a nasty flow, uh
Back in the day, I would sit in the car
With a pen and pad and a smoke box
The Devil said that was reality
Playing a game with my life, this ain't Roblox
You'll never control me, trying to fill me with doubt (Never)
You might as well sit in your corner
'Cause if you come out to the middle, I'm knocking you out
You know it's a early morning rise to grab the boots and get to stomping
Got the Devil on my case, I promise he gon' get this Word
Book of Life inside the pocket, there ain't no way he can stop it
If he tried promise everybody here, gon' go to church, y'all (Y'all)

Chorus
Got a chip on your shoulder when you get it out the mud
When you come from the bottom, the only way is up
He told you you wouldn't make it, you'd never be enough
Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie
Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie
Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie
When you come from the bottom, the only way is up
He told you you wouldn't make it, you'd never be enough, uh

Verse 2
Used to walk around tiptoeing on eggshells, trying to keep myself in line
This here wasn't overnight
It was a ten-year grind, even if I never made a dime
It was purpose-driven, I was never quitting
Even when the people tried to break me down
I learned a lesson
It wasn't always the Devil showing up, tryna take me out
But I forgive you now, that's grace
Hold a grudge and I said, "No way"
Showing love 'cause when Christ came
He beared the cross that I should have faced
He kept knocking, I opened up with no hesitation I got the door
Tears flowing, that's real talk, next thing I know, my knees hit the floor
Praying to the Father for my family and my future
I just hope that we can prosper 'cause my past has been a wreck
Then He told me I been chosen, I don't have no place to fear
Now get up and lace your boots, it's time to stop the Devil's neck

Chorus
Got a chip on your shoulder when you get it out the mud
When you come from the bottom, the only way is up
He told you you wouldn't make it, you'd never be enough
Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie
Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie
Woah, boy, that's a lie, the Devil is a lie
When you come from the bottom, the only way is up
He told you you wouldn't make it, you'd never be enough, uh
