The devils got my number He even knows my name
since he asked me to go with him things haven't been the same
I know I aint been good, No one told me to be bad
sometimes it makes me happy man it even makes me glad
got the projects, homeless kids are speechless,
guns in the streets and the car tire screeches
I turned the tv on and heard the newsman say
they buried 27 people in a big mass grave
it's the end of the world that's what everybody says
the devil got my number he even knows my name
somebody .....better do something about it
but everybody's on the take
somewhere something bad's gonna happen
cos the devil got my number and knows my name
there's some noise going on outside my window pane
when I get up to look I always see the same thing
there's a fire in a barrel a dozen kids standing round
and they're planning to do a little job downtown
(they)gotta eat gonnaa die you gotta ask the question why
they never have enough money to walk in and buy
they got nothing to do they got nowhere to play
no one to listen nowhere to stay
it's the end of the world that's what everybody says
the devil got my number he even knows my name
somebody better do something about it
somewhere something bad's gonna happen
Y'know the devil got my number
He knows my name
solo
no one really cares that his daddy went away
better tell it to the ma who lost her kid today
drugs and guns in the streets there's a war going on
I think i'll lock myself in until the troubles all gone
there's a rap at my door there's a boot in my face
there's a knife at my throat because of my race
I'm a thug - I'm a gangster I'm a registered gun
I've been kicked in the ass ever since day one
it's the end of the world that's what everybody says
the devil got my number Man he even knows my name
somebody better do something about it
but everybody's on the take
somewhere.......something bad's gonna happen
because the devil got my number
and knows my name
somebody better do something about it
but everybody's on the take
somewhere something bad's gonna happen
because the devil got my number
and he knows my name
