Joe Budden, Ransom - Make A Deal lyrics

Who knew that Lucifer was cutting side deals
I know he's coming for me so
I keep my eyes pealed
Although my situation is never really ideal
If I don't find a better
Way then maybe God will
And he don't got no trophies
For the runner up
The escalator's going down
But I'm running up
They told me I was goin' be
Nothing but a lost cause
Nigga you been down a couple years
So how you coming up?
How you stop a nigga from leaving
After the love is lost?
How you stop a nigga from bleeding
After the blood is lost?
Yeah, I got a couple of demons
Don't get no one involved
Yeah, I got some goals I'm achieving
Nigga I want it all!
The money's piling, I'm diving in it
I somersault
My stomach's crying, I gotta get it
I'm coming for it (damn)
Let's swap shoes, you can know how I feel
Guess I'm just a little confused
I don't know if it's real is it real?

If I only could, make a deal with God
Get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
I'd be running up that hill
I'd be running up that building
If I only could

I'd ask God how I last in this
Nah I'd rather kick it with him
'cause to ask him shit
I would deem as blasphemous
Pick his brain and try to
See what his passion is knowing me
I'd debate whatever his ration is
Product of a hell
But I'm knowledgeable myself
I'd trade me for the business
That is hospitals and jails
'Cause there's profit's involved when
They nail a convict
You create these diseases then
Sell us the fix or was it just to hinder me?
Every inch of me would make or break
Or make great sense to me but
Then he try to censor me
But he can have that
That ain't even what I'm mad at
I would give him a stack back if
He would give me Stack back
Let's trade shoes I tell 'em mine are hot
If I made in his likeness would
He really mind a swap?
And if he did wonder if I would feel
Like I put faith in some
Shit that ain't real, it gives me chill

If I only could, make a deal with God
Get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
I'd be running up that hill
I'd be running up that building
If I only could

How could you make a deal
Without the devil in it?
Some people make mistakes then say
The devil did it life is like a game 'cause
There's different levels in it
You won't read the board if you're in
Court and you don't get acquitted
They say it's all metaphysics
Why you lying if you ain't never did it?
If I don't walk through the fire
Then who the fuck will?
I think I'm on the right
Path it's all uphill

Or could it be the right path wrong time?
Right thought, wrong mind? Short success
Long grind they say even when he's late
That he's always on time
Wishing we could switch places so
He sees what's on mine
'Cause it's heavier lately, the
Water's coming down
But the levee won't break me
And this world as is I
Think you better sedate me
I'm just having sick thoughts 'cause you
Ain't met with me lately

If I only could, make a deal with God
Get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
I'd be running up that hill
I'd be running up that building
If I only could

I'd be running up that road (uuuuuh)
If I only could
I wanna thank youfor everything
Only by His grace and mercy
I appreciate ithelp me
