Demons
03. Tech N9ne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm an angel-slash-demon, man y'knahmsayin?
What makes me a demon is lust, I'm girl crazy
And that's why I couldn't keep my wife, y'knahmsayin?
And that's the lust demons living within me
And uh, but my heart, love big, y'knahmsayin?
So I know a lot of demons come to my shows, as well as angels
Y'knahmsayin? A lot of demons, a lot of demons, a lot of demons..
[Chorus]
When I was one, and a two, and a three, and a four
I knew I was a special one who had a little more
And they wondered why I was plotting, rotten to the core
It was nothing but an itty-bitty demon
There's a demon inside of me! Can I kill it? Hell naw!
Can I kill it? Hell naw! Can I kill it? Hell naw!
There's a demon inside a me! Can I kill it? Hell naw!
Can I kill it? Hell naw! Can I kill it? Hell naw!

Yo, it make me wanna drink a lot, go up in the pink wit not
This the reason I ain't at ease and currently on the brink of pot
This the reason I sit at the window with the millie
Wishing a nigga gon' come break in
It is the reason I be freaking the women deeper
Loving making her silly because I done they friend
It is the reason I bang, it is definitely the reason I slang
Distributed the 'caine
The reason I'm super soaking in the pain.. and starting to love it
It's wanting to give me way more of it, they want me to lug it through the mud
And thus the reason with happy people I'm disgusted
I'm talking about those things that make you do bad things
Living the evil up in the fast lane
Making me wanna have a wicked son
Beating the hell outa people making me mad mayne
Gave me the gun when I ran up in dealings in ninth grade, with a slight rage
I was ice age, another reason Tecca Nina won't have any light days
Voted me the King of Darkness, voted me to be really heartless
All up in my spirit they march, they making me start sparking at the targets
Woke up today I was steaming, cause when I found out I was not dreaming
Because the host that afloats me the most was a goddamm demon..

[Chorus]

THREE 6 MAFIA!
See it's a demon inside of me and I'm thinking it's that dope
It's got me doing shit a nigga never even had done befo'
It got me kicking in the do' of folks I don't even know
Straight wilding, 9-11 time a fucking thousand
Buck like Berkeley housing, my Glock is so arousing
Make you stand atten-hut the way that bitch be shouting
Something like a scary movie, nigga but I'm scarier
Bury ya, Memphis Ten' Black Haven area
Buck nigga, get buck bitch, get wit me
And I'ma show ya how this Triple 6 will get silly
Psycho, like no other individual
Glock with the red beam to keep you in my visual
Three 6 and Tech Ninna wet ya like an Aquafina
Desert Eagle, .50 Cal', tell me have ya seen her?
Pussy juice, still on my shit from this hoe I just raped
In her fucking husband face, shot him in his fucking face

[Chorus]

This fish food powder will make you hype
Go into a bar, get into bar fights
Have you walking around all night
Looking like a fool like something ain't right
That ecstasy pill will make you feel it
Look at a bitch, girl you gon' get it
You wanna act kinda funny with me?
You can suck my dick till I nut on titties
Loritab pills, any kinda pills, Vicodin, Xanax, Ambien yeah
All geeked up, wash it down with a beer
Did it to myself, nigga it's your year
Nigga I party like a goddamn fool
Backyard barbecue, hoes in the pool
Jacked like a motherfucker, strapped like a motherfucker
This my life nigga so fuck you!
These funk niggas can't trust niggas
You'll get lit up nigga, get stuck nigga
These choppers buck nigga, nigga buck nigga
All in yo' guts nigga, nigga guts nigga
A liquor store gotta get the dough nigga
Walked in with the fo', get 'em on the flo' nigga
I'm so damn cold, I ain't tryna fold nigga
I kick in doors if you got to go nigga
Yeah we murder, put the clip in, check the list and put the hit in
Kill him kill him, buck your children, kidnap her for half a million
Juicy J yeah I'm the realest, in the game I'm gonna get it
Coke and weed and plenty women, yeah I'm out here making that killing

[Chorus]

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Demon inside




Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Demon inside

Overall Meaning

ОСВОБОДЕН

Не го убих
заключих го на тъмно -
на съзнанието
в дъното

Оставаше
да го забравя

И щеше
ако стоновете му
не бяха заглушени
от приближаващата тишина

Чувам се
- крещя
тя разкъсана изчезва
и срещнам освободен
и вече обладаващ ме отново
демонът живеещ в мен

Ина Фрой

That poem I wrote inspired by this song. Its in Bulgarian. Thanks for the inspiration.
