Through the trials and the tribulations
I'm so steady, I am not shakin'
Even though the world around is breakin'
I won't let the devil win, no way
I won't let the devil win
I won't let the devil win, no way
I won't let the devil win

I won't let the devil win, Lord, forgive my sins
Thinkin' 'bout the wrong and all the things that I did
I'm just thinkin' 'bout the time when we was kids
Whoever thought that we'll be livin' like this?
It's special, mama, I tried for to help them
It take a loss to make me better
It took some time to learn catch to a chinchilla
I ain't worried 'bout them fellas, I been prayin' for my nigga
I was hidin' under covers, shedin' tears in my pillow
I hate this feelin'

Through the trials and the tribulations
I'm so steady, I am not shakin'
Even though the world around is breakin'
I won't let the devil win, no way
I won't let the devil win
I won't let the devil win, no way
I won't let the devil win

I fell down and got up, I had to learn not to rush
I light a branch up like I'm smokin', I seen too much stuff
Too many look at me as chosen for my life to be rough
Get up and chase it 'cause your life can be up
I took a likin' to somethin'
Winnin', makin' moves, I ain't noddin'
Women, they all tellin' me that they love me
My family, if I ain't had it, I ain't nothin'
Nothing come with nothin', tryna come with somethin'
Pain come with lovin'

Through the trials and the tribulations
I'm so steady, I am not shakin'
Even though the world around is breakin'
I won't let the devil win, no way
I won't let the devil win
I won't let the devil win, no way
I won't let the devil win

I won't let 'em, no-no way
I won't let the devil win
I won't let the devil win
I won't let the devil win
I won't let the devil win, no way
No way
