Me and the Devil - Gil Scott-Heron

Went to the bar to get a little closer to myself and learn Things I never really wanted to know The walk got a little far, so I got into a cab that smelled like vinegar Stains that showed what's in the girl before But I want to be where all the stupid things I say sound so romantic and true 'Cause I'd rot in hell with you, if you'd just ask me to I love the shitty things we do together Live with me in this sin forever Hell and you, I know you want it too I say take the shot, see this chance Feel the fire, and let me have this dance with you We take things a little far But you couldn't name a place I wouldn't go with you A plane, a train, a car, I'd run If I was dead, I'd float I'd crawl in bed with you even on someone else's love On top of someone else's blood in the worst motel we find 'Cause home is the last place that I'd stand To be with anyone but you 'Cause I'd rot in hell with you, if you'd just ask me to I love the shitty things we do together Live with me in this sin forever Hell and you, I know you want it too I say take the shot, see this chance Feel the fire, and let me have this dance with you And I'd rot in hell with you, if you'd just ask me to I love the shitty things we do together Live with me in this sin forever Hell and you, I know you want it too I say take the shot, see this chance Feel the fire, and let me have this dance with you

I take a little smoke in the evening I take a little whiskey on ice I never get behind killin' my mind It's just the kind of things I like Just the kind of things I like The minute that I saw you walkin' over I figured I was diggin' my grave And you had the shovel, I knew you were trouble But you're just the kind of trouble I crave Just the kind of trouble I crave And mama always set a good example Daddy always gave me good advice Jesus tried to steer me in the right direction But the Devil always made me think twice Devil always made me think Someday I'm goin' six feet under And when they got me standin' at the gate They'll tally my sins, they won't let me in Saying, "Son, you're just a little too late" "Son, you're just a little too late" And mama always set a good example Daddy always gave me good advice Jesus tried to steer me in the right direction But the Devil always made me think twice Devil always made me think twice Devil always made me think twice Devil always made me think twice Devil always made me Devil always made me Devil always made me think twice Devil always made me Devil always made me Devil always made me think twice

You're mumbling words But I can't hear anymore You're totally entertained That I am absolutely bored To the sharks with your conversation And see what they say As you're thrown overboard And disappear into the waves Down to Neptune's kingdom Where in the ink black drink Octopus bartenders You can hear the mermaids sing That'll teach you all to try and disobey Here's a one-way ticket to your watery grave And we say To all our enemies, we'll see you in hell We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well Down to Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep I won't be praying for you, so don't be praying for me To all our enemies, we'll see you in hell We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well Down to Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep I won't be praying for you, so don't be praying Don't be praying for me Keel hauls the prisoners until their skin turns green Let the salts of the ocean wash those skeletons clean Raise up those oars and let them fall As the wind steadily sings you can hear the crew call To all our enemies, we'll see you in hell We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well Down to Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep I won't be praying for you, so don't be praying for me To all our enemies, we'll see you in hell We're gonna walk 'em off the plank into the wishing well Down to Davy Jones' Locker where the fishes sleep I won't be praying for you, so don't be praying Don't be praying for me

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
