D' Evils Lyrics

Cover art for D' Evils lyrics by Jay-Z

This song has nothing to do with The Illuminati, being a free mason, worshipping the devil, or any of the other foul things you people try to accuse Jay-z of being.

First off the song is entitled D'Evils. The apostrophe makes it clear that it's not pronounced The Devil but "The Evils". The evils of greed and corruption!!! Like the commenter said abvove me he uses "The Illuminati" as a metaphor. You have to dig deeper into his lyrics to find what he's really talking about. Basically the song is talking about how he would get his money any means possible. He's trying to live life lavishly not just on a paycheck. As the "Illuminati" so calls takes over your mind or body he uses that as a metaphor for saying that GREED takes over his mind and body.

Lastly, Jay-z is not a devil worshipper or apart of the Illuminati, or a free mason. He has said many times that he believes there is a God, but doesn't believe in religion.

In a track entitled "Free Mason" with Rick Ross Jay-z finally sets the record straight... He says: "I said I was amazin not a mason." "This is God engineering, this is a Hail Mary pass y'all interfering!" "If ya'll niggas fear me, then just say y'all fear me, fuck all these fairytales"
