Luyện nghe bài hát The Devil You Know

Helicopters over the house
We got the projects two or blocks from here
They the kids over for driving while African
And the ones with the always run in fear

So, I sit here, for the coast to clear
Wishing once I had a gun around here
on the news and what do I hear
Some kid shot the bank up on Gallatin

Ran away from the cops he was trying to reload
He beat them up to Eastland street on
Now, he's probably reloaded and down my street
Better turn the alarm on and myself in

Helicopters over the house

Sometimes, you above it
Sometimes, you below
Somewhere in between believing in
And facing the Devil you

Poor kid probably had a chance to give a fuck
know good luck from a debutant
He's gotta a way to be Steve McNair or young buck
Or it's tough looking for a prison to haunt

And you can fuck getting any of job you want
Unless you want to work in a fast food restaurant
And who wants to do that? Do you want to do
I wouldn't trade that for my hat

Or my gang or my gun or my waist full of
For a job frying shit, for richer teen agers
If that's it's at and no one's gonna help
How you blame a man for helping himself?
a war going on that the poor can't win

Helicopters over the house

Sometimes, you above it
Sometimes, you below
Somewhere in between in Heaven
And the Devil you know

Black and white cops shining lights in the
Can't see how this kid is get very far
he finds a way to make it back over to Barry street
And he do that unless he steals a car

Man, the way things are, they just don't seem
All the white talking 'bout the hope and the light
There no hope in Sam Levy just guns and drugs
We ain't building bridges, we're training thugs

Then I hear a terrifying kick at my door
And in comes this kid, I say, Hey I've seen kid before
I see him all the time at bar on woodland street
Now, he's in my kitchen, tracking mud off his feet

And he's at me like I'll either help him or die
he sees in my eyes that I'm on his side
I him my keys, I say, you better move fast
There's a J in the ashtray and of gas

He throws me the cash and I'll be back for this
I say, yeah, well, don't be surprised if a little bit of it missing
His gold teeth glistened a big old grin
He said talk about that when I see you again

He shook my hand, I his back
I felt like I was to have a heart attack
he finally drove away, I thought Goddamn"

Helicopters over the again

Sometimes, you above it
Sometimes, you sneak
Somewhere in between believing in
And facing the devil you

Facing the you know
