How do you define the word Angel?
Is it someone dressed in white, with a hanging halo on their head?
Is it someone who revived your soul, when your spirit was dead?
Maybe it is the fireman, who settled the flames in your home
Maybe it is your expensive shrink, who cleared the negative views in your dome
Angels come in all colors, forms, shapes and sizes
Imprinting your heart and life with miraculous surprises
My angel wasnt a friend; love one, or a special doctor
Matter of fact, my angel turned out to be a devil and so much more
You see, he played his cards very right, maneuvering like a snake in the grass
Sliding from one to another, we could never see it behind the mask
As we were lost in the hypnotic trance, some began to see what he was about
But we could never believe them, he was our angel, our friend, we had not one doubt
Soon, things began to change, smiles began to fade
Friendships became fragile, starting of the rumors, began our denial
Angels cant be evil; it is out of their character
Well this angel was an actor, for the roles he played shouldve won an Oscar
My dear Angels actions, through me into a deep depression
One that only religion, could make me right again
I nearly lost my friends, family, my sanity and pride, over one man
Kind of guy that made u feel like u were in heaven, in reality u were knee deep in
Quick sand.
Youre asking your self, how he could be an angel, hes so cold, and betraying
And Ill reply to you, by simply saying
Without a test, thereĀ can not be a testimony
This test I faced, showed me the faces of true love, and the face of a phony
I stare at theseĀ 4 faces, wondering where I would be if we had let him consume us
You all know who are, my heart, friends, my crew, my soul sistahs!
If it was not for that angel in disguise, we would not be as close as we are today
And each and every night, I thank god when I pray
For sending him to us all
When he broke our spirit, we helped each other through the fall
Now I truly do believe angels are sent from above
The black raven might end up being the white dove!
