  • Fuck the slice, want the pie
    Why ask why 'til we fry
    Watch us all stand in line
    For a slice of the devil's pie
    Drugs and thugs, women, wine
    Three or four at a time
    Watch them all stand in line
    For a slice of the devil's pie

    Who am I to justify
    All the evil in our eye
    When I myself feel the high
    From all that I despise?
    Behind the jail or in the grave
    I have to lay in this bed I made
    And if I die before I wake
    I hope the Lord don't hesitate
    To get to heaven, went through hell
    Tell my peeps all is well
    All them fools whose soul's for sale
    Sitting next to the Jezebel
    Demons screamin' in my ear
    All my anger, all my fear
    If I holler, let them hear
    In this spinning sphere

    Fuck the slice, want the pie
    Why ask why 'til we fry
    Watch us all stand in line
    For a slice of the devil's pie
    Drugs and thugs, women, wine
    Three or four at a time
    Watch them all stand in line
    For a slice of the devil's pie

    Main ingredients (uh) to this dish (yeah)
    Goes like this, here's the list
    Materialistic, greed and lust, jealousy, envious
    Bread and dough, cheddar cheese
    Flash and stash, cash and cream
    Temperature's at a high degree
    Where niggas come to feast
    Hell is this all about?
    Apocalypse, ain't no doubt
    Everybody's hoing out
    All the loot, all the clout
    Right or wrong, do or die
    Only vengeance could pacify
    Watch your back and so will I
    In these days and time

    Fuck the slice, want the pie
    Why ask why 'til we fry
    Watch us all stand in line
    For a slice of the devil's pie
    Drugs and thugs, women, wine
    Three or four at a time
    Watch them all stand in line
    For a slice of the devil's pie

    (Let's the cut the pie)
    (Tryna eat)
    (Come one, come all)
    (Come one, come all)
    (If you want, let's cut the pie)
    (Pie, up on the plate)
    (Check it out)
    (Mark of the beast)
    (This how it be in this everlasting game)

    Oh, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
    Oh
    Oh-oh-oh, whoa-whoa-whoa
    Ah

    Ain't no justice, it's just us
    Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
    Time has come for most of us
    To choose in which God we trust
    I know I was born to die
    Searching to find a peace of mind
    With eighty-five, dumb and blind
    There can be no compromise

    Fuck the slice (yeah), want the pie (uh)
    Why ask why 'til we fry ('til we gon' fry)
    Watch us all stand in line
    For a slice of the devil's pie (yeah, yeah)
    Drugs and thugs (oh-oh), women, wine (huh)
    Three or four at a time

    Uh, wait a minute
    Uh, let me tell you 'bout a slice of the devil's pie (oh-oh)
    Uh, said everybody out there can get down with the slice of the devil's pie (oh-oh-oh, huh)
    For a slice of the devil's pie
    Little woman in the streets sell her fuckin' body for a slice of the devil's pie (oh-oh)
    Niggas killin' each other in the streets for a slice of the devil's pie
    Say what?
    All in line, all in line (oh)
    For a slice of the devil's pie (yeah)
    All in line, all in line (give me no)
    For a slice of the devil's pie
    All in line, all in line (what? Huh?)
    For a slice of the devil's pie (yeah)
    All in line, all in line (I don't give a fuck, I ain't goin' out for the)
    For a slice of the devil's pie (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Writer/s: Christopher E Martin, Michael D'angello Archer
