Lyrics

HOOK

They see you & then they move/
believe me, I tell you the truth/
D'Evil that men can do/
evil that men can do/


VERSE

You get slapped with the quickness for not puttin'/
out five fingaz to the face and you get slapped in the mouth/
tryin' to tell him no means no could get you killed/
how it feel to receive dick against your will/
or get Ike'd and stranded, bare ass and/
all don't try to blame it on the alcohol/
you can't expect respect moving as fast as y'all/
letting him palm your ass like a basketball/
beware D'Evil that men do without any regard/
the wrong head is in charge, and now you're setting him off/
cock-tease the wrong man, he cocks back a strong hand/
open hand slap make you nap a long nap/
at least it's better than getting popped full of lead/
hospital bed just for not giving head/
this dude'll pull out a pistol for no reason at all/
trying to fill you full of his hard meat in the raw/
people think that evil men have only one face/
the world's too big for them to gather all in one place/
from England, Japan, Afghanistan,/
to the USA they give half a damn/
cuz you could be tied up and thrown in the trunk/
or get held for ransom by some criminal punk/
and get fed to the pigs and ripped into chunks/
and you beg for your life, but they ain't givin' a fuck/
don't get cut up into pieced and then mailed to your fam/
or get done like The Departed where they breaking your hand/
you don't wanna be that guy getting tossed off a building/
paraplegic, and now you've lost all the feeling/
from the waist down, they found you all bloodied up/
the fact that you're alive, my dude, you'z a lucky fuck/
you'll be wishing the police had arrested you/
getting caught the fuck up in the evil that men can do/


HOOK

They see you & then they move/
believe me, I tell you the truth/
D'Evil that men can do/
evil that men can do/


VERSE

E to the V to the I to the L/
reach far beyond the streets, man they thriving in jail/
communicating with the block as they lie in a cell/
and it ain't that simple that they die, go to hell/
man, you can't kill them off like weeds in the lawn/
better not piss them off yo, believe in this song/
cuz they love to do dirt, they need to do wrong/
like whiteboys in the burbs need trees in a bong/
it's a full time job, and they're trying to get paid/
business as usual, why would it change/
even after they know there's wire taps on the phone/
stone cold like Albanians trafficing hoes/
to these low life dudes spending riches for bitches/
what calamity, shit hits the fence and/
fuck your family, business is business/
pimpin' since pimpin' since pimpin' since pimpin'/
and you know law enforcement's got rotten apples/
everybody knows that cops are assholes/
for no reason get thrown into the fence/
you say police brutality, they say resisting arrest/
better hope somebody's got the video tape/
cuz a police state is just a criminal state/
they're the biggest gangsters east coast to the west/
nightstick to your face, to your throat, to your chest/
nine broken bones a little closer to death/
they don't show no mercy, they don't show no respect/
we don't stand a chance, and we try living peaceful/
we got picket signs, they got nine millimeters/
and don't even get me started on the church's closet/
collection plate picking your purse and pocket/
better say a prayer cuz I curse your alter/
this man is sick, call a nurse and doctor/


HOOK

They see you & then they move/
believe me, I tell you the truth/
D'Evil that men can do/
evil that men can do/


VERSE

Based on the books your prophets wrote/
Eve ate the apple in Adam's throat/
banned from Eden for Adam's apple/
take any man as a bad example/
Nagasaki, Hiroshima.../
the devil's explosives blow shit up/
worldwide military weaponry/
if I speak out, they might threaten me/
killers, thieves across seven seas/
shooting sprees kill precious seeds/
tax my cash by aggressive means/
spend it on death like reckless demons/
but my hopes will not collapse/
i'll smoke and write lots of raps/
Dark Night float across the map/
spread love while they launch attacks/


HOOK

They see you & then they move/
believe me, I tell you the truth/
D'Evil that men can do/
evil that men can do/
