The Devil Went Down To Chicago
Devil's Showdown in Chicago: A Battle of Souls and Rhymes
Lyrics
The Devil went down to Chicago
The Devil arrives in Chicago.
He was looking for a soul to steal
He seeks a soul to steal.
He was in a bind and he was running behind so he was looking to make a deal
The Devil is in a hurry and wants to make a deal.
Now over there in Logan Square he saw Johnny just spitting it hot
In Logan Square, the Devil spots Johnny, a talented MC.
he crept up on him tapped him on the shoulder and said let me tell you what
The Devil approaches Johnny, ready to challenge him.
"now i'm the Devil and if you didn't know well i'm an MC too
The Devil reveals himself as an MC and challenges Johnny.
and i'll bet your soul a microphone of gold that I got better rhymes that you".
The Devil bets his golden microphone that he has better rhymes.
well johnny looked back with a little grin and said " to make a be with you would be a sin. but I can't losse I can only win, cause i'm the illest MC from the city of wind".
Johnny acknowledges the challenge, expressing confidence in his skills.
The Devil picked up the golden microphone and said "I'll start this show" with a plume of smoke and fire from his nostrils he started to spit his flow.
The Devil starts his performance with smoke and fire.
ground grew hot with every word he spoke
The Devil's performance causes intense reactions, including choking and supernatural elements.
the air it filled with clouds of smoke
-coughed so hard I nearly choked
-there was a demon DJ and a break dancing ghost.
-sky grew dark and the moon eclipsed
The atmosphere becomes ominous, but Johnny remains unshaken.
his back up singers were on crucifix
-the junkies and the hobos started juking it
-but Johnny stood tall didn't move and inch
-curse in his verse in made my ears hurt
-hook so evil that the crowed dispersed
-all who were left yeah we feared the worst
-cause the grim reaper pulled right up in a hearse
-When the Devil finished Johnny said "well that's pretty good old son,
After the Devil's performance, Johnny compliments him.
but sit right there in that there chair and let me show you how it's done".
Johnny invites the Devil to witness his own skills.
"Fire in the square so lets begin
Johnny begins his performance, referencing the city and its characters.
Devil in the house of the city of wind
-clucker in the alley cooking his dope
-homie does your dog bite no son no"
-Johnny spit the lit and every rhyme was hitting
Johnny impresses, and the Devil feels his grip slipping.
all off the top none of it was written
-Devil coiled up he could feel his grib slipping
-jumped right up from the seat he is sitting
Johnny's performance escalates, overpowering the Devil.
demons started hissing and the devil raging
-when Johnny quoted scripture and the psalms of David
-lifted him up higher with every statement
-then body slammed him right back down on the pavement
-The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
The Devil concedes, acknowledging Johnny's victory.
and laid that golden microphone on the ground at Johnny's feat
Johnny places the golden microphone at his feet as a symbol of victory.
Johnny said "hey Devil, come on back if you ever want it again.
Johnny challenges the Devil to return and asserts his dominance as the best MC.
I done told you once you son of a bitch. I'm the Illest from the city of wind".
