Light or Dark

Satan came to me and said I'm doing good,
Asked me if I'll keep writing, he don't think I should,
I said if there's a number one you bet I would,
He stood right behind me and yanked down my hood.
Said he thinks I must've misunderstood.
But I won't get the best of me, I did it when no one said I could.

Told him I've got rhymes he'd describe as evil,
He said "I guess that's makes us equal",
But that's not true cause I ain't lethal,
I'm just another individual,
So I put on my shoes and told him the world is beautiful,
He showed me the hate and the dark to make me pitiful,
I said that ain't what matters in material,
Said he can't change my mind he's not imperial.

I turned my back and saw a light,
Ran toward it hoping for a better flight,
And what I saw.. it filled me with delight,
I saw a race full of conquest and might,
And that's the humans man, it's who we are,
And we don't wanna lose that cause of a message in a jar,
Or because people walked through a door that was left ajar,
Are you proud of who you are?

He asked me if I'm okay I said he can't make me feel diminished,
He might rule Hell but I ain't finished,
I said I got a heart and it's self established,
And that the rules of his are what we keep abolished,
That we do it for a reason,
It ain't no act of treason,
It's just what we believe in,
And that it's time for him to get leaving.

Then something occurred to me,
This devil? He's a part of me, of us,
And it ain't gonna be a walk in the park,
But we gotta make a choice, light or dark
