caskey - devil in a new dress freestyle lyrics

[verse 1]
yeah, man
every time this depression come around, i can’t get a grip on it
the devil tempted the floor, i slipped on it
man, my cup runneth over with drama, i sipped on it
get in the way of my drive, like i parked the whip on it, yeah
see, i got pain, if she want me, gotta lay it on her
bitter b+tches out there wishin’ that i waited longer
my wife step out to the weddin’ as they playin’ lana
if life a b+tch, i just pray she ain’t the maid of honor
i came out so many battles likе i was made of armor
took the birds out the coupе and made ’em pay the farmer
they tried to come for my charms, good thing i ain’t a charmer
left them boys charred and dismembered, i call it “payin’ karma”
see, gettin’ money in my genes, that’s my true religion
my homie wanna do business, he sick of doin’ dishes
they fired me from kfc, guess i was too ambitious
to be in the kitchen with the flour, tryna move a chicken
i wonder what my co+workers think of this newer mission
if goin’ back to where i came from didn’t make me superstitious
i’d probably hit that drive+thru up in this new edition
just to show ’em, when you self+made, it’s too delicious
all that doubt made it bittersweet
so many homies along the way thought i’d miss a beat
i mean, we came into this b+tch, we was seven deep
six of them boys slept on me, that’s why i never sleep
five in the mornin’, my eyes wide, tryna get a brief
case of money, you got a case of the jealousy
should get a case, i done slayed so many melodies
can’t go to canada no more ’cause all these felonies
i cut some people out the circle ’cause they ain’t align
wanted my spot, but they hustle ain’t the same as mine
i think they thought that they would come back at a later time
realized that that wasn’t gon’ happen, now they hate online
man, all that shade fall on deaf ears
let them people tell you that you right, you still missin’ what you left here
they ask me how winnin’ taste, i say, “chef’s kiss”
you ever come to my birthday, you got a death wish
i elevated my stance to watch the paper dance
why every time i see somebody from my past
they tell me they down bad but comin’ up, they got major plans
then ask me for a hand out, bruh, there ain’t a chance
i made this off the arm strong like my name was “lance”
givin’ cds away when n0body gave a glance
now these label executives out here, shakin’ hands
promisin’ that major advance
but i know what come with that paperwork, they stealin’ your dreams
tell you that they doin’ marketin’, they fakin’ your streams
then you wonder why your hype never big as it seems
you go to book a tour and no one there to fill up the seats
now you gon’ struggle to recoup, plus you got all them bills due on the coupe
and you can’t go get a job, your homies say you the truth
and in your eyes, a 9+to+5 lower than you can stoop
man, you smokin’ more than snoop, your pressure is at the roof
[interlude]
yeah, that’s why i tell these artists, man
just stay independent, keep your ownership
grass ain’t always greener on the other side, you know?
comparin’ yourself to other people’s success
got no idea what’s even goin’ on, yeah
plus there’s so much more to this sh+t than just money and streams and numbers
is what you’re doin’ fulfillin’ you?
is it feedin’ your spirit?
are you inspirin’ people?
are you inspirin’ yourself?
do you feel motivated by what you’re doin’?
man, i ain’t done with this sh+t
shout out whoever made this beat, this sh+t inspire me, man

[verse 2]
yeah, bottled emotions, i left at the bottom of the ocean
i gave these rappers a chance, man, but they not as potent
some of my simplest records evokin’ more emotion
i lost a piece of myself when ethan was overdosin’
i lost a piece of my heart when my daddy left me broken
life wasn’t copacetic, but we kept it copin’
so many things i wanted to say but were never spoken
home alone at the house like i’m macaulay culkin
man, you want somethin’ in this life, you gotta show devotion
i’ve seen so many hard times, ain’t even show emotion
life was drivin’ me insane but i kept it movin’
i trained my mind to redefine the word “locomotion”
lower the potion into my mouth, ain’t n0body notice
my teenage years were periods of me bein’ hopeless
stealin’ cars, i could jump+start a kia motor
but wasn’t half as hard as bein’ sober
man, i turned myself to the man that i always needed
tell my pops his unfinished business has been completed
all that tragedy you put me through made me undefeated
them prayers, they wasn’t needed, go roll up a blunt with jesus
tell him that i took a bite of fruit from the garden of eden
wisdom that the pain taught me i couldn’t harbor from readin’
ain’t wish on a star, but a star somethin’ i superseded
tell ’em, “i’m the best,” all they sayin’ is, “aw, you conceited”
homie, this is self+belief, from all the years i had to shelter grief
for all the years my family chose them oxys over me
i spread your ashes in a mountain out in tennessee
that’s why j. cole ain’t even hit this beat as cold as me
no surrender and no retreat, could rock a diamond grill
the truth still come out of my t++th, i got an iron will
and keep that iron under my seat
just to iron out the issues that could come to my feet
so please don’t act like iron mike when you sayin’ it’s beef
if you so much as say my name, you gon’ get what you reap
man, that’s a mountain that you do not wanna climb and it’s steep
difference of lion and sheep
i’m like the mayans, in the sacrifice, i find my relief
and in the afterlife where i finally sleep
until then, i just lift the pen and write to the beats
i mean, they told me, “watch the throne,” but that’s my kind of seat
i’ve seen the stage lights, but never seen the lights of defeat, yeah
