[Chorus: D'Angelo]
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
[Verse 1: D'Angelo]
Who am I to justify
All the evil in our eye
When I myself feel the high
Of all that I despise
Behind the jail or in the grave
I have to lay in this bed I made
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 screaming in my ear
All my anger, all my fear
If I holler let them hear
In this spinning sphere
[Chorus: D'Angelo]
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
[Verse 2: D'Angelo]
Main ingredients to this dish
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, wo or die
Only the vengeance will pacify
Watch your back, so will I
In these days and time
[Chorus: D'Angelo]
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
[Outro: D'Angelo, DJ Scratch]
Man (Yeah)
I think we should change the pace, slow it down for the ladies
What do you think?
I'm with you, man, I like that idea, definitely
All the ladies in the chat room right now
Thanks for everybody watching, salute to Verzuz
All the ladies right now, put up some hearts and roses
Let's go, let's set the tone
