The Devil Went Down to Hip Hop

Lyrics
The Devil went down to hip hop And he was lookin' for another soul to snatch And even though his bag was overflowed with rappers from the past You know he wanted more in his stack You see, the Devil was greedy and he needed more people To heed to his name and start leavin? the steeples 'Cause he is so evil and very deceitful He feeds on the minds of the ones who are feeble So he made his way through the rap game (Rap game) Lookin' for a name that doesn?t have fame (Have fame) Then he strolled across an independent man Writin' rhymes in a bar with a pen in his hand And he devised a plan for his eternal soul We go bar-for-bar, we go toe-to-toe So he walked up to the one that they call Crypt And put a gold microphone to his lips and he said I bet you might've guessed it, but I am quite the spitter myself I spent a lot of time writin' rhymes and, let's say in Hell, there's a lot of help I got half the rap game sold in exchange for some fame and wealth And I'll offer you the same thing, boy, and that's the deal that I?ve dealt And Crypt said: Do you one better, you can keep everything that you just mentioned But, when I win this battle, leave that microphone at my feet and begin your descension I?m not like the rest of these rappers that you promised fame and shiny jewels You've done lost to a God once, now, it?s time to make it 0 for two Round one, you better come with the best punchlines that you've got Second round you gotta put it down, we gonna bring the flows and just chop Round three, you better bring the speed if you choose to go for that gold 'Cause if you lose, the Devil gets your soul (Hahahaha) The Devil tapped on his microphone and said, "I'll start this show" And fire flew from his putrid lips as his words begin to flow He said, "Don?t you worry, son, I'll be sure to make this one quick" Then the instrumental played and the Devil spit somethin' that went like this: 'Bou-'Bou-'Bout to burn 'em, no Hiroshima Y'all don't want that smoke, call it emphysema So you really wanna battle? Tell me what the point is When your raps need work, f**k unemployment Heads goin' up like I'm knockin' 'em out You don't get the picture like private accounts Really no biggie, no rockin' the crowd I said there's no Biggie like Pac is around Get you a coat because my flow is polar Spit it so cold that hell itself done froze over Like an unplugged toaster, you ain't got no heat The last time you battled a God, you spent eternity Up in a hell hole, no bars, like a cellphone That was owned by a broke hoe who can't pay those feesNow you're battlin' me, the madder emcee With those initials standin' for mission complete Spit that flow, but Lucifer deliver and I've been that dope and you've been never gettin' No conversation, I'm an abomination A little wake-up call, you are not the greatest This a**hole doesn't care what you say When I bust you'll be dust when I rap that flame Grab your tail and rip it off like a weak nail Impale you in the a**, now the devil's in the de-tails Nice try, but, they can't compete You gotta pick it up a little, but, the man's a beast Whatcha plan to beat? The man comin' with the rappin' heat? I bet it's 'bout to be a fast defeat If you think you're winnin' this battle, the answer is nada How am I supposed to be afraid of someone who only wears Prada? Your honor, his father should've beared a condom to stop him But now, I'm on, and slicin' through this beat, like I'm a katana Ca-Ca-Came here to kill it, pursuin' the mission To body the beat and put you in submission Get split like fission, ain't no homie hotter 'Cause my flow is divine like some holy water Wanna be the best? You don't got the patience You will never be the topic of a conversation When I spit, it's acidic to any foundationMakin' all hell break loose with my loud ba** thuds You will never win, you got the weakest talent Just standin' back while I'm wreakin' havoc Better ready the hearse when I deliver the verse I put the fear of God in you when I send you to church Got the power y'all can't control I'm the Devil of rap, I've been snatchin' souls I'ma give you a riddle and you can betcha get slowed You done lost a fiddle, time for that microphone Co-Co-Come and get it with a faster pace But knowing any no compet**or will crack the case And bash your face, come follow in the path of flames And, b*t*h, you better get ready to feel the wrath of pain Got 'em lookin' like a bit of a joke And lookin' like another rapper that I'm finna provoke But I can't be stopped when they give 'em a dose You really wanna beat the Devil? Bring a different approach Everybody wanna compete but go fail I'm a demon in the shadow of the streets I dwell Come get a better look at all the beats I melt You are dealin' with a D-E-V-I-L Get 'em pulverized, step back and I blow your mind They got a rhythm and the flow divine But no surprise, I win, you better close your eyes And now, the battle's won, b*t*h, your soul is- (Stop) Listen up, Devil, you don't wanna battle me with speed I practically invented a crypt and I can't be beat So grab a seat when I rap this heat, you're not imaginin' what is happenin' I am actually battlin' half-a**, and I'm ravagin' your wack-a** on a track (Woo-hoo!) And if you tried to rap this fast You'd have an asthma attack from the lack of breath that you have And I'm goin' savage mode and, yes, I know rappin' fast won't give me the gold But, hold the phone, listen close I delivered the punchlines a couple times when I rhyme, fast or slow I ain't permittin' the boat But, you just flow with the beat and stay surface level But I dug so deep that I found a new devil So, if it came to a vote about who boasted the most And who is the more talented musician (Uh-huh) The answer is me, 'cause I'm a f**kin' G Who OD'd on the talent that was God-given The Devil dropped his chin 'cause he knew that he had been beat again He rapped as fast as he could but sacrificed substance and could not win Then Crypt snatched the microphone from his hands and said, "I'll be takin' that And turn it to scrap, 'cause now you know that gold doesn't help any motherf**ker rap, and that's a fact"
