Oh, don’t you know
I know who I’m contending with
Sister, it seems
Like you live in a dream
Because you can’t see things
As they might be

What I mean
Is that I know what the difference is
Between an angel and a devil
Between good and pure evil
What I mean
Is that I’ll never surrender
My humanity
To anything but the almighty power
Watching right above me

Yeah, I know
He whispers in my ears sometimes
And misleads me when I am blind
That’s just the kind of thing he’d do
And sometimes I do fall behind
Sometimes I do get out of line
But when I do, I give him a piece of my mind

What I mean
Is that I’m not listening
To his dark intentions for me
And his negativity
What I mean
Is that he is not what he seems
Hiding behind a smokescreen
