Dance With the Devil Songtext
von Big Daddy Kane

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on...

Swing your partner, I′m about to start the
Dance across the land that came to scar the
People of our community, cause we're soon to see
The future of the world to be without unity
So brothers and sisters, let′s check our history
To reveal what's been hidden, a mystery
Because we're headed for self-destruction
And you know that the government doesn′t give a fuck when
One black brother sells another one dope
And he can′t cope, so he dies without hope
Many of us live on this level
Misled victims who dance with the devil!


Dance with the devil
Dance, dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance, dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance, dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance, dance with the devil

Guns are being bought over the counter like candy
Coming in handy for chumps to act manly
Once before they were only for the law
But no more for sure, looking at an L.A. gun war
Even in Brooklyn, lives are being tooken
The Bronx is dying while the rocks are steady cookin
Capsule after capsule, setting up a trap
To destroy a lot of kind without a hassle
I couldn't kill my brother about a color
Or cocaine, not even over a rope chain
In this world I′m considered a rap rebel
To correct those who dance with the devil!


Dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance, dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance, dance with the devil

There's no survival
Bodies coming DOA, dead on arrival
Every time someone ships in artillery
Begins the game wondering who will the killer be
There′s no war, so the navy must warn the sea
Drugs and guns shipped into our country
So we can shoot each other and sell each other death
And imprison all the other ones left
So it's time to start to rise
We can′t be uncivilized, we gotta realize
That being the baddest doesn't matter when your life is had
So let Michael Jackson be bad
No time to devastate, we gotta elevate
To a higher level than dancing with the devil!

Dance, dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
This is a dance with the devil!
Dance with the devil
Dance, dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance, dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance, dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance, dance with the devil

Looking at the fall of our new generation
Makes me wonder about the Emancipation Proclamation
We're considered to be free, but did slavery devour?
Are we still slaves to mental death and power?
Misled and unknowing, people are going
More and more beneath instead of growing
"Express Yourself" was said by N.W.A
So stop giving Trouble a play
Cause those who chose to oppose never rose
They all froze, at thirty-two degrees to enemies
That already tricked them and made em fall victim
Mmm, mmm, mmm, just look at them!
What we need is peace and love and more love
But I don′t see none of the above
So one for the bass and two for the treble
Come on y′all, don't...

Dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance, dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance, dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance with the devil
Dance, dance with the devil
