The Hook (feat. Bug Hunter & the Narcissist Cookbook)

It started off as devil's advocate To challenge all my views When every answer has a question It's not hard to get confused This is the devil at his handsomest So hey what can you do? If this clever devil's accurate He might convince you too I found the Devil down in Richmond he was fishing for some sins He was perched up on a cloud I found him humming gospel hymns I says You ain't got a license this is twice I've caught you here My indictments met with silence he just beckons me come near He goes watch the bobber in the water down below the pole When a sinner takes the bait all that's left to do is pull You can see the sweet relief on all the faces of their victims It's a vicious job but I acknowledge I am quite addicted Then the pole was in my hand And I cast my hook out far This is how it all began This is how my spiral started Off as devil's advocate To challenge all my views When every answer has a question It's not hard to get confused This is the devil at his handsomest So hey what can you do? If this clever devil's accurate He might convince you too Three-four! So we'd meet up every weekend at a different fishing spot Hopping on another city stayin' a step ahead of God I didn't wanna think of consequences were I ever caught The devil can be dangerous but no one crosses GOD We pulled criminals and bitter souls abusers crooks and cons But heaven never sent this set of rebels with a cause It was thrilling it was chilling it was killing evil souls The method's pretty brutal but damn we get results We were packing up in Amsterdam and cleaning off our hooks I took a chance to count the bounties now I wish I never looked I found a kid inside his bucket What the hell! He's barely eight! Well he must've been a sinner after all he took the bait It started off as devil's advocate To challenge all my views When every answer has a question It's not hard to get confused This is the devil at his handsomest So hey what can you do? If this clever devil's accurate He might convince you too I am an Angel I took an oath I am a savior A danger or both I don't go fishin' Not anymore I haven't seen the devil In 20 years or more So when I'm called into god's office told I have a new assignment There's a lead on where he's fishing and it's up to me to find him I can't confess that I can guess exactly where to look Now it's up to me if I or he will end up on the hook
