shady_q97 - reasonable doubt contest lyrics
my favorite reasonable doubt lyrics is…
i can’t be held accountable, d’evils beating me down, boo
got me running with guys making g’s, telling lies that sound true
come test me, i never cower
for the love of money, son, i’m giving lead showers
stop screaming, you know the demon said it’s best to die
and even if jehovah witness, bet he’ll never testify, d’evils
this is my favorite lyric because…
jay-z uses an interesting creative process throughout the song about ”selling his soul” to the devil,but in these last lines he reveals that the ”demon” that has taken control of him is actually the money.apart from the clever wordplays,jay himself knows that if he wants the money he must do ”evil” things like stealing,murdering etc.also,it’s clear that hov loves the money like they are a god (for the love of money).these lines stand out for me because i believe everyone can relate with jay in these lyrics,all of us have ”demons” inside us,”demons” that make us eager for money and success and we need to let loose otherwise we will stuck in a vicious circle without ever being happy or successful
