With ColleGrove 2 on the way later this year, 2 Chainz has just responded to the madness happening across the world with his latest single “Devil Just Trying To Be Seen.”

Surprising his fans, the Atlanta rapper has just dropped his first new single in a while, inviting his T.R.U. artist Skooly to help him out. The track is in response to the protests that broke out in the United States following the murder of George Floyd.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Devil just trying to be seen
Trying to be seen
Okay, the devil just trying to be seen (Devil just trying to be seen)
You can’t be falling asleep
That shit will turn to a nightmare now
So let’s just pop up in the dreams
Shit, I had to turn to a fiend (Yeah)
That shit turned me to a beast (Beast on the streets and I go, ah)

[Chorus]
Beast on the streets and I, yeah (That shit turned me to a beast)
Beast on the streets and they know
Beast on the streets and they know (That shit turned me to a beast)
Beast on the streets and they know
Beast on the streets and they know

[Verse 1]
Lil’ homie poppin’ pills
Broken the building to see what he can steal (Lose)
Product of being left in the field
Need a vest, rifle in the shield (Poof)
Images of a murder I don’t wanna see
Nigga too young to have a will (Ooh)
Peace (Peace), I’m blessed (Blessed)
Strap (Strap), no less (Uh)
No tribe (Uh)
It might be your day to die, you can go to rest (Uh)
No press, they go march in dickies (Dickies)
Got a whole pound for the blickies
Ain’t no room for no peakies
Yeah, uh (Uh)
Niggas still saying fuck 12 (12)
Niggas still saying fuck Candice
Niggas still saying fuck care
Yeah, if I care it’s lit
Be in the campaign was something that was cool to be (Shout)
It’s terrible
Turned the racist to a motherfuckin’ eulogy (Brr)

[Chorus]
Beast on the streets and I, yeah
Beast on the streets and they know (Uh)
Beast on the streets and they know (Ah)
Beast on the streets and you know (Uh)
Beast on the streets and you know (Yeah, on the streets and you know, yeah)
Beast on the streets and you know

[Verse 2]
Beast on the streets and they know
I catch your flavor a choice
Hit you on the face with a porch (What?)
Jumped out the porch with that early (Early)
Forty got thirty like curly (Fah, fah)
You can get flatline
Basically ’bout time (Yeah, ’bout time)
Better be ’bout yours
‘Cause I’m really ’bout mines (‘Bout mines)
Wanna commit the crimes
So I ain’t the one cryin’ (I ain’t the one cryin’)
I’m in the lanes with the highers
Shooters want a job and they get higher (Higher)
But I’ma shoot a nigga
I shoot your shooter nigga ’til I get tired (Uh, huh)
Talk that bando shit (Bando, bando)
Did that, get locked up, get out
Nigga, they can’t tell me shit (Can’t tell me shit)
I don’t work hard for, did no harm
And they might [?] for this
I don’t need to borrow shit
Did right now, no tomorrow shit (Right now, boom, yeah)

[Chorus]
Beast on the streets and I, yeah (Beast on the streets and I)
Beast on the streets and they know (Uh)
Beast on the streets and they know (Yeah)
Beast on the streets and you know (Uh, beast, beast)
Beast on the streets and you know (Yeah, beast on the streets and you know, ah)
Beast on the streets and you know
