I'm Not the Devil
Redemption in Lyrics: Unveiling the True Story Behind 'I'm Not the Devil'
Lyrics
I'm not the devil you think that I am
I deny being the devil as perceived by others.
It ain't no excuse, but I'm just a man
I acknowledge there's no excuse for my actions, but I am human.
I slipped and I fell, it got outta hand
I made a mistake that escalated beyond my control.
But I'm not the devil you think that I am
Reiteration of not being the devil as perceived.
It wasn't no gun they held to my head
No external force compelled me; I fell for deceptive lies.
I got caught up believing in lies that were said
I believed falsehoods, contributing to my actions.
And in a moment of weakness
In a vulnerable moment, I succumbed to my weaknesses.
I stumbled and I made my bed
I stumbled, and the consequences unfolded.
I'm not the devil you think that I am
Emphasis on not being the perceived devil.
It ain't no excuse, but I'm just a man
Reiterating acknowledgment of no excuse, being human.
I slipped and I fell, it got outta hand
Admitting the slip and the escalating situation.
But I'm not the devil you think that I am
Restating the denial of being the devil.
There's 10,000 reasons for you not to stay
Listing numerous reasons for the partner to leave.
And no one would blame you
No blame if the partner chooses to end the relationship.
If you want it that way
Expressing understanding if the partner desires separation.
It might take some time
Recognizing that it may take time to prove worthiness.
But I'll show you that I'm worth the wait
Commitment to demonstrating value and deserving another chance.
I'm not the devil you think that I am
Reiterating the denial of being the perceived devil.
It ain't no excuse, but I'm just a man
Acknowledging the absence of excuses due to human fallibility.
I slipped and I fell, it got outta hand
Recounting the slip and loss of control.
But I'm not the devil you think that I am
Final denial of being the devil, reiterating previous points.
And I'll spend forever, do all that I can
Commitment to spending forever and doing everything possible.
To prove I'm not the devil you think that I am
Persisting effort to prove the true character.
And I'm not the devil
Concluding declaration of not being the devil.
