Bliss N Eso - Devil on my Shoulder lyrics
[Chorus] I'm trying to shoot the devil off my shoulder I'mma burn this bridge as soon as I get over Baby I can see it in your eyes when I hold ya So I gotta k** the devil [Verse 1: Eso] Yo, check it I got a bullet for the devil, and that is the truth You won't believe who he is until he's actually you Reaching out to anything to use as an excuse When my mother pa**ed, all I knew was smashing the booze Now my bands on the rise but Vic' Bitter got me rude A loose cannon when I'm hammered, tryna bicker with my crew A head full of anger got me trapped when I drink Ten years, a case a day, how's that for a binge? And the music industry's a constant celebration Caught up, but we don't see the hell we're facing And the flames only grow once your name's getting known Now everybody's backstage sh**-faced at your show And I wanted the right route, but nobody showed me If I knew then what I know now I would've blown up the pokies Give back the free beer so Max can see clear I gave it all up and I ain't look back in three years And it's the best thing I've ever done I told the devil run I blew his head off my shoulder, now who's the clever c*nt? They're just a memory, those days of acting crazy I put them all behind me for my lady and our baby And under the bridge is where my mother lay in peace I buried those ashes next to my mother's favourite tree Surprised I'm alive as I leave her a candle I'm a work in progress, trying to lead by example, yo [Chorus] 'm trying to shoot the devil off my shoulder I'mma burn this bridge as soon as I get over Baby I can see it in your eyes when I hold ya So I gotta k** the devil Got a bullet for the devil, for the devil (devil) Got a bullet for the devil, for the devil (devil) Got a bullet for the devil, for the devil, yes I Got a bullet for the devil, for the devil [Verse 2: Bliss] Man, this game can be f**ed up No for real, this game can f**ing nuts And I've been cooped up in this bus for a couple months Bro I tell you man, it f**ing s**s But hey, haha, let's rock and f**ing roll baby Another day another show I gotta go baby Another plane it takes a toll but it's all gravy Because I’m rose-tinted, sipping on that Rosé We live a life where every day's a celebration A Garden of Eden with every temptation So honestly if you were in my spot right Would you be swept up by the fame and the spotlight? (Spotlight, spotlight, spotlight, spotlight) 'Cause every night it's a party It kicks off the moment I get on stage (And god damn you're the mother f**ing man right) You're damn right this fame'll get you anything you damn like So, after the show, it's the after-party And after the party, it's the hotel lobby And after the lobby, I'm sloppy tomorrow I'll be sorry, a zombie, yep there goes Jonny On and on and on, that's the circus every night show But you don't see the devil underneath the tight-rope Throwing b**hes beers and bongs like they alley-oops Screaming "Slam ‘em, Johnny, f**ing values" It's poison, binge drinking is just standard But you can't nail goals when you're hammered Put my career in the mirror and I wonder, huh Is this rockstar living or just f**ing up? And Macka, I'm f**ing proud of you brother It couldn't be any rougher on that road to recover And now you got through the withdrawals, lord knows! Stuck in a 50 degree Afganistan warzone That's g sh** so I pay homage Now you bet I got a bullet with the devil's name on it I right these wrongs as I write this song I wanna right these wrongs as my life goes on [Outro] Got a bullet for the devil, for the devil (devil) Got a bullet for the devil, for the devil (devil) Got a bullet for the devil, for the devil, yes I Got a bullet for the devil, for the devil Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang Bang bang I got a devil for the devil Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang Bang bang I got a devil for the devil Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang Bang bang I got a devil for the devil Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang Bang bang I got a devil for the devil
