Angel And A Devil
The Gadjits Lyrics

There's a kid in my mind who says "Now have a good time"
My inner child wants me to have fun and enjoy myself.

And the man in my soul makes me behave.
But my conscience reminds me to act responsibly and with self-control.

So tell me which do I pick if I'm gonna get a kick,
It's difficult to decide which instinct to follow if I want to have fun.

If I'm gonna try to have a good time.
Ultimately, my goal is to enjoy myself.

I got an angel and a devil looking over my back
There are good and bad influences around me, pulling me in different directions.

and each one is ready to go.
Both sides are eager for me to make a decision.

There's no such thing as a happy medium
Trying to find a balance between the two can be challenging.

if you have any plans to let go.
Especially if I want to let loose and have a good time.

I'm gonna grow up fast in this world alone
I realize that I need to mature and face the world independently.

and leave behind something to show.
I want to leave a positive impact on the world.

All I need is my friends standing by me to the end
My friends are my support system through life.

and the drugs are only gonna make me slow.
I realize that drugs will only hold me back and impede my progress.

There's a million different ways to have fun today
There are endless options for enjoyable experiences in the modern world.

and I hope to God that I never try
But there are certain substances I hope to avoid altogether.

crack cocaine or heroin in my vein
Such as drugs with highly addictive qualities and severe negative consequences.

Because I'll surely be the junkie runnin' dry.
I don't want to become addicted and suffer the subsequent withdrawal symptoms.

But alcohol's another story 'cause I've really got a taste
On the other hand, I enjoy drinking alcohol in moderation.

and I've really had a good ol' time
I have fond memories of enjoying alcohol with friends in different settings.

at Montreal at the bars or driving in my car
For example, exploring nightlife in different cities or having a good time on a road trip.

from San Francisco all the way to Philadelphia
These experiences have allowed me to see different parts of the country.

I got a real close friend who told me something I won't forget
A friend once gave me valuable advice that has stuck with me.

"You're gonna get the face you deserve."
They warned me that my actions will shape who I become.

So I'm gonna do my best to kill 'em with kindness
Therefore, I will strive to lead a positive, kind, and respectful life.

So I can grow up to be good...
And ultimately become a better person.

I'm gonna grow up fast in this world alone
The cycle begins again, as I continue to mature and navigate the world on my own.
