Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh
Yeah yeah yeah
Can you hear them demons cry
Have you ever had the thoughts
That the worlds not on your side
Can you hear them demons cry
Yeah
Can you hear them demons cry yeah

Have you ever had the thought that the worlds not on your side
Have you ever had to stop your thoughts so nothing on your mind
Have you ever faked your happiness for someone else smile
Cause you so insecure bout your pain that's inside
The pain from the heart brakes
Pain from the past
All the pain up in the history we learned up in the class
All the memories from looking at the scares up on your back
All the pain from pushing when you know you falling back
And y'all don't know about these tear on my bed
All these fears in my head got me thinking bout the truth is it really worth the dare
All this time in the booth I ain't got much time to spare
Is it really worth the question or does no one really care yeah
Or does no one really care yeah
Or does no one really care yeah
Or does no one really care yeah

Sometimes I double think my life is that really such a crime
If it is then lock me up I supposed to be born a different time
It's too dark in this error there's no way that I can shine
Too many people with no heart I don't know how they alive
I'm tryna work towards my blessing but the devil stops my shine
I'm trine stay up on the positive but negative reminds
And if I call you up and you say that you love me that's a lie
I've learnt from past experience don't never ever close a eye
I'm not the type to tell you what's been really flowing threw my mind
I just tell you just to listen to the music and the rhymes
Then you'll understand the pain that I'm feeling deep inside
Everything I say in raps is coming out from my mind

Have you ever had the thought that the worlds not on your side
I can see the demons and the demons deep Inside




I can see the demons and the demons demons cry
I can hear the demons and the demons demons cry
