[Verse 1]
Is it evolution or an evil illusion?
People pollutin' our minds, tryna keep me from cruisin'
They never call 'til they see that you movin''
So I'm ballin' without stealin' or shootin'
It's middle finger to the world now
And since I got my meal ticket, don't nobody wanna turn me down
And before, you woulda thought that it would hurt to smile
Did somebody call the circus in town?
My work is profound, even all my Pros found a balance
Growing up a fine young man like a stallion
I said I wouldn't use the Cali as a catalyst
But I'm still mixin' different herbs in the salad
Fly shit, bringin' different birds to the palace
They want that extra bread like we servin' up Italian
And in reality, we servin' up our talent
I'ma serve 'em with these words of empowerment, bitch

[Chorus]
The evil of love is so subliminal
And the love of evil is so sinister
This damn nation is ran by sinners, still
Middle finger to your pastor and your minister
The evil of love is so subliminal
And the love of evil is so sinister
This damn nation is ran by sinners, still
Middle finger to your pastor and your minister
[Verse 2]
The smile ain't the same no more
I looked up and the sky ain't the same no more
I looked up what the meanin' of life was
And ended up with a fake smile and a light buzz
Right, cuz?
It went off like the light bulb
I might seem fine, but this smile's only plastered on
I'm in the skies and the flight don't last that long
They say "You lookin' good, I'm glad to see you happy, dawg"
They clueless, I'm emotionally damaged
A lonely little bastard, still growin' as a man
With intentions of only common intentions
'Cause as a kid, my mind been trapped inside of a prison
And durin' lunch time
I used to sit inside of detention and study vocab'
'Cause I liked my mama's attention
It was more than just letters that I studied for embarrassment
Made me better than ever and lessened my speech impediment

[Chorus]
The evil of love is so subliminal
And the love of evil is so sinister
This damn nation is ran by sinners, still
Middle finger to your pastor and your minister
The evil of love is so subliminal
And the love of evil is so sinister
This damn nation is ran by sinners, still
Middle finger to your pastor and your minister
[Interlude]
Keep it runnin'

[Verse 3]
Dancing' in the rain, so romantic
Imagine you trapped in a hurricane while beefin' with yo' companion
Both uncompassionate, laughin' at the half of it
But deep down, you both wish that you were holdin' hands
I hold it down as a man, sittin' bitter in my pride
The lemons that life's given, heard the engine as I stride
The limits less limited the further that I climb
Haven't shed a single tear, but I'm hurtin' down inside
I know you got the cold feelin', that shit right there
Let me guess, it's bone chillin'
I bust my ass in a restaurant that whole winter
Walkin' home, bumpin' Cole with just a warm spirit
They say my father had a hot temper
When I grow older, I just hope to be a lot better
But I don't want to have to grow alone, we can trade a chromosome
As it pours, we can do-si-do down this road together
You thought that you was so clever, but ain't no such thing as forever
Forever, forever-ever, forever-ever, forever-ever, forever-ever, forever-ever?

[Chorus]
The evil of love is so subliminal
And the love of evil is so sinister
This damn nation is ran by sinners, still
Middle finger to your pastor and your minister
The evil of love is so subliminal
And the love of evil is so sinister
This damn nation is ran by sinners, still
Middle finger to your pastor and your minister
