Dance with the devil

Every night that I'm alone, I fall in a different zone
I am in a place my body isn't needed anymore
I see phantoms at my window, third level of my estate
They walk at a certain level lookin' at me through a double pane
[?] is Jane, we both nod, we both wave
They're probably just lost like me but never had the time to spare
But even if we did it probably wouldn't catch my lingo
Lookin' at me skeptical like I was Johnny Ringo
It's safe to say that they don't mean no harm though
They whisper to me 'til my eyes fold inside my pillow
Put me in a natural trip to levels of dimensions
Let me see my future through some type of supernatural premonition

I don't want to dance with the Devil
I just want to confront him at a table
And I don't need your hollow promise
I just need to look you in the eyes and tell you that
You didn't help me make it
You didn't help me make it
You didn't help me make it
You didn't help me make it

The Devil, he wears a scarf full of fake happiness and promises
He says he [?] like [?] gold and accomplishments
But I've been readin' documents that say your words are counterfeit
Get a lesson in myself with no reason to be announcin' it
Times have changed, I've stepped away
From the deception of the man that's lookin' over Broadway
I know the power of myself, so I'm takin' full percentage
While they sleepin' on me, I'm sleepin' in these white linens

When the stage lights all go out I'll be okay
Stay high all day in the shade
My mind went up it didn't come down
It flows so low in the greatness

And I don't want to dance with the Devil
I just want to confront him at a table
And I don't need your hollow promise
I just need to look you in the eyes and tell you that
You didn't help me make it
You didn't help me make it
You didn't help me make it
You didn't help me make it

I don't want to dance with the Devil
I've been on my grind like the whole time
So I'm on a whole different level (Different level)
You can see it in my eyes I was built for this (Built for this)
It's finally my time yeah I killed for this (Killed for this)
Plotted from the sidelines 'til I made the shit (Made the shit)
Now it's my time for the takin' (My time for the takin')
I'm just chasin' money tryna dodge the fame
I had plenty of problems 'fore I had my chance
Now my diamonds are blindin' even in all of your shade
You didn't help me make it past the fact I'm happy to say

And I don't want to dance with the Devil
I just want to confront him at a table
And I don't need your hollow promise
I just need to look you in the eyes and tell you that
You didn't help me make it
You didn't help me make it
You didn't help me make it
You didn't help me make it
