el diablo
Machine Gun Kelly Lyrics

Ronny J, please turn me up
I'm requesting the sound engineer Ronny J to increase the volume of my music

Tell all my competition that I love 'em
I may have rivals, but I appreciate their talent

But I brought 'em back just to kill 'em again
I brought them back into the competition only to outshine and defeat them once more

Tell all the listeners that I said, 'Fuck 'em'
I don't care about the opinions of the listeners and disregard them

If they thought I'd never be breathing again
For anyone who doubted my success and thought I would never make a comeback

I keep some drink in the cup
I always have a drink ready, just in case there's more conflict

In case anyone got some more beef, I can eat 'em again
If anyone dares to challenge me again, I'll defeat them easily

I made a promise to beat they ass up
I have committed to defeating them soundly in any altercation

Like Adonis, survive, I'll meet 'em again
Similar to the mythical figure Adonis, I will survive any challenge and confront them again

Fuck your big bro, uh
I don't care about your influential connections or associations

We the ones that got it when the rent's low
I am part of the group that manages to succeed even in difficult financial situations

I make it happen again
I have the ability to achieve success repeatedly

I'm back to rappin' again, 808s slappin' again
I have returned to the rap game, and the hard-hitting beats are back

Light it and pass it again
I will light up a joint and share it with others, as is my custom

Know what I'm packin' again, I'm an assassin again
I am armed with my skills and ready to dominate the music scene like a lethal assassin

I shoot dice, yeah, gamble with my life, yeah
I take risks and bet everything in my life, just like in a game of dice

No invites, yeah, keep my circle tight, yeah
I don't let just anyone into my inner circle; I keep it small and exclusive

All my hoes, yeah, keep that sugar spice, yeah
My female companions are attractive and add an element of excitement to my life

For the bros, yeah, I do not think twice, yeah
I am loyal to my friends and will support them without hesitation

I got a combination to a safe in the back of the bank that be storing my shit
I have access to a secure location where my valuable possessions are kept

Just had a conversation with a girl that I dated, now she out here whoring and shit
I recently talked to a former romantic partner who has turned to promiscuous behavior

I got a reputation to be doing and showing up 4 in the morning and shit
It is known that I am active and present, even at 4 in the morning

I had a altercation down in Florida, I threw his face on the floor in the shit
I was involved in a fight in Florida where I fiercely slammed the opponent's face into the ground

Fuck a bitch, though, huh
I have no interest in entertaining or being involved with disrespectful women

Y'all ain't want us before we rich, ho
People didn't care about us or value our worth until we became wealthy

I can't go back to this shit
I refuse to return to the undesirable circumstances and struggles I once faced

I need a castle and shit, I'm on some Dracula shit
I desire wealth and luxury, thinking of myself as powerful and untouchable like the fictional character Dracula

I used to have to heat up pans of water to shower
In the past, I had to go through the inconvenience of warming water on a stove for bathing

But y'all don't know half of this shit, no
You are unaware of the extent of the challenges and struggles I have faced

Diablo
This word, meaning 'devil' in Spanish, is used to emphasize my rebellious and intense nature

Stop the debate if my name isn't mentioned
If my name is not recognized and spoken of, then the discussion is not worth having

In this generation as one of the greatest
I should be regarded as one of the most talented individuals in the current era

From lyrics to cadence, I changed the way rappers rock out on them stages
I have revolutionized the performance style and delivery of rap artists on stages

I saw people take it, and they are more famous
Others have adopted my style and become more popular as a result

So I ain't get credit, I had to be patient
I have not been given proper recognition for my contributions, so I had to wait for acknowledgment

I know people hate me just by my appearance
Some individuals dislike me purely based on my physical appearance

You motherfuckers can't be serious, ayy
I find it hard to believe that you fools are genuinely serious in your dislike towards me
