XXXTENTACION – I spoke to the devil in miami, he said everything would be fine Lyrics

X reminisces about his past wrongdoings, detailing a hypothetical conversation with Satan about the state of his soul.

He utilizes strong biblical references and language throughout this mini-masterpiece. His use of enjambment is also of note. Crafted to embody his evanescent spirit and dazed psyche, X splits what might otherwise be one line into many—exhibiting his fragmented mental state.

The song reflects X’s troubled upbringing, and how pain and sadness have plagued his brief time on this Earth, as shown in the first half. X learns that if he remains true to his selfish/evil side, that he can obtain what he really craves: power and wealth.

While the song’s cover art is defaulted to be the same as ItWasntEnough’s, which is a picture taken in a concert X held in Miami, the song’s title also hints at the Floridan city in which X spent most of his life.

I spoke to the devil in miami, he said everything would be fine Lyrics by XXXTENTACION

[Intro]
It’ll all be over soon

[Verse]
And I’m always where the
Sun don’t shine, the tears don’t show, won’t
Hurt me now ’cause heart’s been broke, I
Hate myself, but it won’t show, I
Constantly lose all my remorse, and it’s
Ten for the wolf and three for the shepherd, and it’s
One for the sheep who led by your leopard, often
Gave his perception as a handle of weapon, took a
Bite of your apple, give me all you can offer, now I’m
Trapped in a changing maze, settin’ my soul ablaze
Couldn’t control the pace, where is this going, hey?
Heartless is recklessness, it’s word of a pacifist to
Word of a masochist, I’m off of the map, my Lord, I
Spoke to a Baphomet, he said he would save me if I
Gave him one thing he needed, “What is this thing?”, I pleaded
Boy, it’s the key to even, yeah

[Outro]
And as I spoke, my fangs were shown
Taken aback, he smiles and tells me
“What you crave will soon be yours
But what I crave is already mine”
