Houndin’ the Devil’s Shadow

Lyrics

[INTRO] Heard the preacher say He’s walkin’ with me all the way From the dust on the road to the church porch light’s glow I’m layin’ it out, ain’t no coy, just a real country rap [VERSE 1] Southern slang, I spit it, my soul’s in the gutter Gospel beats, I’m pullin’ the line like a preacher’s utter I’m walkin’ with God, He’s been good, He’s my guide If you step, devil, we’ll see your lies collide [CHORUS] Imma tell you, like this, here, I’m talkin’ real God’s been good, He’s led me, He’s the real deal If you take one more step, devil, I’ll show you who’s the steppa Go on, nih, unless you want that smoke in the city, boy [VERSE 2] Got a truck full of faith, a heart full of steel The gospel’s my engine, and the devil’s the wheel I’m runnin’ this road, with a cross in my hand No time for sin, no time for that damned plan [HOOK] I’m talkin’ gospel, I’m talkin’ rap, I’m talkin’ southern pride Got a voice that can’t hide, He’s my guide, He’s my light [BRIDGE] In the night, in the light, I keep that gospel bright No devil’s trick, no devil’s slick, I keep my faith in sight [CHORUS] Imma tell you, like this, here, I’m talkin’ real God’s been good, He’s led me, He’s the real deal If you take one more step, devil, I’ll show you who’s the steppa Go on, nih, unless you want that smoke in the city, boy [OUTRO] Walkin’ out of the church, a voice that won’t back down The gospel in my heart, it’s a beat, it’s a town And the devil can try, but I’m a man of faith So step back, you’ll feel the weight of His grace
