Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see through you
I can see through you

Amen, Amen
I won't save him
I won't save me
These demons walk around with an appetite
I see them demons walk around in daylight
I see 'em
Amen
I won't save him

Don't [?] man
A man can equal [?]
Rip faces up with my bare hands
You fake niggas and bitches (I see you hoe, I see you)
Yeah I know you're wearing a mask
Yeah I know you're wearing a mask
And how much your phony ass
With your stories and your phony plans

Amen, Amen
I won't save him
I won't save me
These demons walk around with an appetite
Demons walk around in daylight
I won't save him
I won't save me

Don't [?] man
A man can equal [?]
Rip faces up with my bare hands
You fake niggas and bitches
Yeah I know you're wearing a mask
Yeah I know you're wearing a mask
And how much your phony ass
With your stories and your phony plans

Amen, Amen
I won't save him
I won't save me
Demons walk around with an appetite
Demons walk around in daylight
Amen
I won't save him
