I had this conversation with the devil. This dude was pretty cool not at all as I assumed. From the things he had to say I didn't think he was at all as he's portrayed... in the pews or on TV cause he was for the most part encouraging me. He asked me how my week went and I usually am not the one to vent but I was humored, slightly enthused by this event so I *humidified, loosened my tie and with that some pride...
We're standing on the platform at Simpson waiting on the Brooklyn-bound 2 for a minute and he sees me eye this chick that walks by I lowered and shook my head, "yea she looks like trouble," he said. Son?!- in more ways than one... I'd name her sin and then have her committed. Kill her with my charm I will, she'd say I was *Roberta Flack and Lauryn Hill. I'd seek to impeach her grief and dissolve the maul that remained from cornballs. I'd *Urshter it all until she was *Babyface and Weezy. Whether on the couch or sea she'd *Aaliyah with me and then if *Kem... then I'd might have to *Lil Kim cause its all fun and fine till it comes to the *Gyptian.
And the devil, he, understood me perfectly. Was nodding and smiling as if apparently... he'd been there before. So I asked if he had and he goes "The scantily clad... always roaming through the Garden and even if I'm not looking per se I can't look away. I don't even keep my ways hidden I straight up offer them something forbidden and they start biting and I get real trifling as she's eating out my palms. Of course it isn't right though but so? Who cares cause it's *Geico."
Told him that's pretty evil and he gave me the straight face. Said "I'd do the same if I was in his place," but I told him my intentions are always good and I wish all of them the best but just not with me or at that moment I guess. So he tells me "I need to take those moments and proceed, live in them and satisfy my needs." He said "me trying to be nice to the broads won't hold weight for the cause, because if I don't bite it'll be another dog." Said "I might as well just get mines because I only get one life." Sucked my teeth slightly and told him he had a point. "I know I do, been doing this for a minute. My best trick is acting like I don't exist. See Reg, you considered everything I said before we had this convo and after we depart it'll be you that's all responsible and I'll be an afterthought and you'll do what I said but not because you heard it from me but cause it was just in your head."
Dude was quite slick, gas tank full of wit. Asked me if I had a knife cause he was about to cut the cheese. I died. Asked me if I had a light, I said "No Lucifer it's 2010. You haven't seen the anti-smoking commercials apparently."
He informed that people will anti anything. "If there's a cause that is dope for the moment the masses will most likely *Tonto with no pausing." Devil goes "Yo, I hate to admit but y'all are a bunch of gullibles. Don't need a single fact, but always ready to react, start marching and protest but listen close I got something to confess: You know how hard it is for you folks to convert one soul, or to avoid temptation? I incited a war on terror off mere speculation. I do most of my work with one hand behind my back. I take the highly religious and throw them a lustful vision and they become so enlightened, can raise a church and then a hyphen as in 'Pastor hyphen Pimp' or 'Priest hyphen Predator.' I take three Inepts longing for reckon and you have a 9 hyphen 11.
And with you Reg I win every time you justify your sin. Saying if its only one commandment you don't heed then that's okay cause you're human and have your needs and the flesh is weak and all the other hypocriticismness you bleed." Bite me.
"You know... I've been selling success at extremely discount rates to get to people like you who are never content in their place? Because it's so cheap and there's not a place nowadays you can't find it, you people buy it and buy it and are levels above what you were. But because you know how much more success you can have you beat the hell out yourselves, call it 'grinding', it’s bad. I used to sell depression but it cost so much more to manufacture, now I sell you success and you find depression on your own way faster."
Whatever man, there's always perils in wealth. I'll buy your success and encourage myself. He goes, "that's wassup, and how long do you think that will last?” Told him I'm good with mines and trouble will always pass... "Word? So your impenetrable faith didn’t drop a notch or three that night your Big Brother didn't wake up from his sleep? And you of all people believed that he had gotten the farthest he'd ever been from me. You two were so cute with your long distance relationship. Fight through sinful missions, regretful
imprisonment with quotes and scriptures, man I was ear-hustling I know how much you loved him.. Tell you something you didn't know about him, he was just..." Hold on, that's my phone... speak of the devil, it's my Homie Jesus.
So me and my Strength *Xscape for a few, he reminds me of my tattoo, ask if I got the grace and mercy he sent me too, you know... just checking up on the dude.
"Peace God." and we hung up....and I can't front, the devil had my ear, all that talk about me being a hypocrite and buying success was closer to the truth, think about my Brother every time I look at my chest too and it gets harder and harder trying to justify these martyrs and the pastor and their squalor, had me feeling more contrite than Christ-like.
Then He called and before I could start my *Urshter, He was encouraging some more and sharpening my sword. "You weren't buying his success I just ordered your steps." Yep.
So I turned to the Devil..."You still need some light?” Looked around and he was nowhere in sight. The 2's here and I'm smiling to myself as I absorb... I know I'm going to see the devil again unless I start taking the 4, still probably won't be able to dodge him that's for sure... got a BBM from Christ "no weapon" the sunglasses smiley and nothing more... "Stand clear of the closing doors."
