“I swear that I can feel ‘em fuckin’ with me (Why?) / Every night I feel ‘em fuckin’ with me (Why?).” Hmm 🤔, Who be fuckin’ with you, 🎙 Machine Gun Kelly? “Please God tell these demons stop fuckin’ with me (Why?) / Every God damn night I feel ‘em fuckin’ with me (Why?) / Please God.” Oh, it’s those pesky 🎵 “D3MONS” that are messing Kells up! Notably Machine Gun Kelly secured a second collaboration with the now deceased 😢 🎙 DMX. On this standout from Kelly’s debut album, 💿 Lace Up, we get a truly twisted representation of the effects of various demons. It is worth noting that a demonic joint deserves demonic production. Shout out to 🎛️ Dame Grease!

Machine Gun Kelly alludes to drugs: “My skin is bluish, voices in my head saying / ‘Don’t be stupid all you have is in that bag you better use it’.” Of course, the confirmation that those demons are fuckin’ him over occurs in that aggressive chorus. Him and DMX alternate verses – Kelly / DMX / DMX / Kelly.  Still, the Kell’s verses don’t disappoint, particularly when he spits, “Even my bitch corrupted / I fucked her pussy ‘till it’s bloody took it out and then she sucked it, told me that she loved it.” Woo! Shifting to X, he has his fair share of assertive bars: “If a beast’s what I got to be, then so be it (What?) / Fuck it, if I got to live it (Uh), then y’all gon’ see it (Do it) / Eat it, shit it, live it – it’s in my blood.” RIP DMX! Sure, the demons are sus AF but 🎵 “D3MONS” –more than a decade later – is a 🔥 rap banger, PERIOD!
