[Floors: 1 - 4]
[Intro]
Hello Mr. Dark...religious landmark, the Dark Monarch
What is your objective, you’re not what I expected
You know just what I like, those yoga tights are way too tight
Are you here to tempt me because believe me I am ready
What was said last, I’m still steadfast, why can’t you get past
Don’t mistook the answer of no, no matter how fine you look or where we go
The Devil is a lie, no matter how you make me feel inside, I can see through your disguise
No matter what I'll be facing no matter the temptation
[The Devil]
Your words our tough but easily you’ll break
No see ya later, we’re on The Hellevator

[Floor #1 – The Milf]
[Abigail]
The elevator moves down one and when the doors open I’m thinking I’m done
Blonde hair beauty with an hour glass frame small on top but big in the waist
Curvy from the bottom with a charm from Sodom
With a face to chase sends my heart through a rat race
Tight ol' pants that show all goods, a seductive smile anyone could misunderstood
Smooth conversation not a trace of a slut just a sexy Ol' milf that I can’t get enough
It was love at first sight, Forbidden Fruit bite, sweet little freak between the sheets
With eyes so bright making love till sunlight
Temptation draws like a beacon as she whispers, “our little secret”
Million miles apart, a million hearts apart, but just one yard away
Foreign beauty in a long lost land, Soul straight damned as she takes my long lost hand
She’s a fine Bordeaux who whispers, “No on has to know”
Click...Click...Click
The bell rings ding and out she strides in her back yard and invites me inside
A burning sensation defines temptation a very easy choice involving no contemplation
A divine feline ride on cloud nine that I must decline
To lose my past to an uncertain future even though she’s a hot little cougar
Gather up these lines like a magpie...wave bye bye as we pass by
Drop down another floor with plenty more in store
So say good bye to a dream, goodbye to a moment that could never ever be
[The Devil]
You should rejoice making the smart choice, a real long passage, you’re quite the challenge
One floor rejected, technique perfected not what I had expected
It was not a life just a one time taste that could never take place
Laughing at your lackless poker face...could tell you wanted it. But in truth you’d be haunted by it
The life she lives is the one that fulfills, always second place to her family...and understandably
She was the Forbidden Fruit...The ultimate taste...free fall no parachute...no heart substitute
DING
[Floor #2 – The Dime]
[Crystal Rodriguez]
We called her a dime, she was a certified ten certainly no angel but definitely heaven sent
My best friend’s girl but when they split she was a girl I had to hit and boy she wanted it
A girl slightly damaged came with plenty baggage, STILL had every guy sprung like Go Go Gadget
She was a girl barely stable puts her bags right up on your table
Makes herself at home in the world that you own
I got such a caution from my fingers in her blossom when she didn’t leak like a faucet
Poking in her closet confirming some of the rumors and gossip
Still unsure if untrue, do I exit or hit continue
A reliable source known through intercourse do I put the cart before the horse
No matter what she wore...straight killing it, no matter what the cost I was feeling it
Dancing up all me in a black mini skirt, brown corset, red corset, or brown shirt to tight
Talking dirty in my ear, the sweetest of tastes daring me to have a bite
A girl that I was sure to never forget, the kind of girl that I would live to regret
Click...Click...Click
As her high heeled shoes click upon the floor. I watched her turn to me. Her shoulder blade long black hair shining from the fluorescent lights from above. Her green eyes smiled at me as she turned in her spot. I realized I was staring at the life that I could have had. The life that would have been had a chosen the dime. Her luscious lips smiled revealing her pearly white teeth. It was a shy yet seductive smile. “Aren’t you coming,” she said in her silky voice. It was an apartment, so I decided to see what would happen. To take that chance succumb to a taste of temptation’s dance. To see the life I could have like reliving a photograph. I stopped in my track as the devil did laugh. Held up one finger or my decision would be made if I furthered farther than a linger.
[Me]
I wake up with just an eye flutter to white shutters...a small wind flutters
An arm wrapped around me...surrounds me with a small breath behind me
Although pure like white, but hark tis’ twilight
The sleepy groan from someone unknown, I flip back the cover quick as a pistol
Oh my god, I’m in bed with Crystal
My heart gives a stab at the loss that I have
However the future I seek has my curiosity peeked
Curiosity and temptation a lethal combination
[Crystal]
Hey baby my love laying next to me no smile on your face that’s unexpectedly
No sorrow in our little bubble, no love in our cuddle, what seems to be the trouble
[Me]
Can’t believe you’re here out my dreams you appear
A feeling so sincere marked with a tear in the fear you’ll disappear
Keep a kiss on my heart save like a souvenir
[Crystal]
No words need spoken not even a whisper now hurry I think I hear my sister
[Me]
Crystal took a shower as I looked forward to my happy hour
Stimulate my body with coffee, stimulate my mind with wonderland toffee make it foggy and groggy
In the apartment that we keep, where would I peep, to find the stuff to get me (BLEEP)
Into the kitchen I couldn’t resist Crystal’s younger sister
Not a heavy hitter her personality seemed bitter cold as winter
When her eyes locked on me, Ashanti never should have loved me
For some reason her body my eyes drilled feeling something unfulfilled
A feeling that kept insisting from something that seemed missing
Guilt blanketed me from something she had taken from me
Something she provides me that Crystal deprives me something that I couldn’t foresee
Do you know where’s my devil’s lettuce while I admired every crevice
So are we going to your mom’s or how is this done
[Nicole]
Crystal got in a panic at the fear of you having to have it
Not wanting you to walk the same road or the same places that Matt did go
[Me]
A pang in my heart and cry from my soul it wasn’t the first time I heard the word no
Wasn’t the first time I gave up a piece of my heart to keep my marriage from falling apart
I knew it was around just well hidden I loved to free fall while my tree fall who we kiddin’
[Nicole]
Don’t think that I haven’t observed you admiring my curves you got some nerve
After treating me like nothing but an hor’ d’oeuvre
[Me]
I’m a little bit flustered at what you uttered
[Nicole]
Why you making me suffer...our issue confronted on what we’ve constructed.
[Me]
I stuttered and spluttered at the news I've discovered at the dirt I shoveled
You seduced me my only explanation the only reason that I would detour from the Crystal temptation
[Nicole]
I fulfilled what you were lacking
Even though it was once, once was all we need
Judging by your face that reads mislead I feel misled
So go ahead to avoid bloodshed tell our baby to drop dead
[Me]
So the rumors were true, you were crazy like glue, what do I do...what if Crystal knew
[Nicole]
You called it a gift like Christmas compared to Crystal’s Vaginismus
Willing us to betray her trust due to her illness bringing us close for a moment
[Me]
A moment of weakness you had stolen it
Oh no another rumor true
[Crystal]
And then from the back came a...HOW COULD YOU
You knew she wasn’t stable but still you weren’t able
Yes sex was painful but still you weren’t grateful, oh how shameful
You know I had been getting treatment since last April
I told you Nicole was heading my mom’s way I thought we were making headway
But you couldn’t keep her advances at bay your heart did stray and a life you both create
Oh happy pistol remove the twisted dismissal I feel from my love and sister
[Me]
Crystal baby put the gun down there’s no need to melt down
Our relationship doesn’t need to break down
It was a one time fling meaning nothing
You’re rapidly loosing your sanity
[Crystal]
Well it runs in the family
Why couldn’t you pass the test in looks she’s second best
If you wanted a baby you should have confessed instead of falling for that...mess
Now it’s time to put you both to rest
I flew backwards falling through the doors crashing into the elevator I had left before. I groaned at the pain in my chest as I lie. I look up to the Devil and ask, “did I just die?” “Die or killed just for a thrill. You should have listened to the rumors your friend spilled. Mad as a march hare...upstairs. Matt told you about the mom being Bi-polar, schizophrenic genetics. Even Crystal told you Nicole was walking the same road. She’s a mad...MAD hatter the heart was strong but the spirit had at her. Do you wish to see or want to proceed. To live that life up to that moment...to go for it...tempting is temptation. You can say no more this is my floor.”
I’m Stuck on The Hellevator
Going down
Oh my God stuck on this Hellevator
Descending deeper and farther
Temptation gets harder every floor all in order
From one to ten wondering what lies at the end
Will courage I find in this temptation of mine
Can I make it to the bottom or be destroyed like Sodom
Failure is catered stuck on this Hellevator
DING
[Floor #3 – The Slut]
[Melissa]
The doors open and in struts everything I ever wanted sexually...tempting me
Teasing me but I remembered her not needing me
Only secondary not primary always giving me a guarantee
One day she would be having me
Brown Curly locks, creamy tanned legs, mini-skirt to her knee high socks
A tempting Halloween costume but for me her flower doth not bloom
Even with a grope in the bathroom her hands traveling my tattoo
Her advances were baloney first for Joey, when she had her fill it wasn’t until
She moved on to Dan that I began to understand
And then when he refused I became confused when she let me feel on her boobs
Now that I’m taken you want the bed shaken, no girl you’re mistaken
My pride was my undoing who was I fooling
A regret that led to this temptation to keep me wondering what would’ve happened
Not just the lay but what would have happened that fateful day
[Intermission]
White Rabbit Encounter 02/14/08
Grrrrr….I felt my stomach rumble as I took my usual seat in the middle of the classroom. A small room in Davis Hall at Northern Illinois University. Economics of Southeast Asia was a class I took to receive a minor in Geography. I was never the type of person to eat breakfast or lunch. Usually preferring to eat a big dinner when I returned my townhouse. However today was different and I would never forget how different. I watched my teacher walk in to a scattered number of a dozen students. I knew this wasn’t a popular class but that didn’t detour me from it.
Placing his briefcase down on the rickety gray desk he smiled at us. He greeted us with his usual overzealous “hello!” I was not sure what he had in stored for us that day. His words were absent from my ears and my stomach growled again. I remember clenching it as I took out my notebook preparing for the lesson. I tried to push the hunger out of my mind. I had no money to my name living up to the broke college stigma. I never went home on Thursdays...never! I spent my hour break between classes at the computer lab near Cole Hall. The reason being was simple by the time I caught a bus made my way back to my townhouse. I would only have enough time to literally grab something and walk right back out to go to History of Illinois in DuSable Hall. The other reason was the curly brown haired girl that I always met there every Tuesday and Thursday. Her name was Melissa and I had been trying to hook up with her for over a year already. Of course, I couldn’t pursue it because I was dating my future wife at the time.
I was also rapidly loosing interest because she was using me to pursue a relationship with one of my roommates Dan. She had been and was always pushing me to the side. She was like a carrot that dangled in front of me. Always teasing, always tempting me to go the extra mile for her. “So are you going to go?” I heard the voice as my teacher began his lesson. I turned to the seat next to me seeing myself just staring at me.
[Me]
“You again? No, I never go back there’s no point.”
[White Rabbit]
“But you’re hungry. I know! I can hear your stomach growling from here. Besides you know what we can do when we get home right?
[Me]
“No there’s no point! I’m not just going to catch a bus to head home for some smoke and food. I have never done that before and I won’t start doing that now! Besides, I have writing to get too.”
[White Rabbit]
“The writing can wait you know that and I know that. Come on you’re hungry and want to smoke. I know you do. You can’t say no to me. Come on, you hate that class anyway. Just this one time...come on won’t class be more fun with me by your side?”
[Me]
“I’m not saying that it wouldn’t be. It just doesn’t make sense.”
[White Rabbit]
“You know you want too. Melissa doesn’t give a shit about you! She never has...never will. You know that and I know that! Now just go home have a toke and something to eat. I can see you thinking about it in your head. The only way your going to get clear is in a state of fog.”
[Me]
“You’re not going to leave me alone are you?”
[White Rabbit]
“Nope...”
[Me]
“Fine”
I was riding on the bus back to DuSable Hall. One of my roommates Dan sitting next to me. Complaining about going to our class. I stared out the window feeling that usual euphoric feeling washing over me. Almost like waves lightly washing over a sandy beach, I shared his sentiment about not wanting to go. However, I had grabbed a quick bite to eat as well. So, I felt pretty content with everything at the moment.
We stopped at one of the usual stops on the way towards campus. I watched as a gorgeous strawberry blonde walked on the bus. It was the Gold Digger, she smiled when she saw me. “Hey Robby,” she said wearing a comfortable outfit of gray sweatpants and a red NIU sweater. I was surprised that she came towards the back and sat by me. It still perplexed me why this gorgeous bombshell of a girl spent time with me. We were friends and sometimes hung out on the weekends. However, I thought I was more of the back up plans for her social life. Either way, I stared at Dan’s face as his mouth sort of dropped open in surprise. “You going to class,” I asked. She nodded, “yeah I just got off the phone with some Alphas. They were saying that gun shots were being fired somewhere on campus. I’m not sure where yet though.” “Hi, I’m Dan,” said Dan as he reached across me and shook her hand. “Kailyn,” she giggled softly. “So, how do you two know each other,” he asked. She smiled, “this guy here used to come in every time I worked in the commissary over at Stevenson.”
“Not every time, it was just a coincidence” I said as she beamed at me. Her gold hooped earring dangled with the shaking of the bus. “His friend...the big guy, what was his name?” “Louie,” she pushed me playfully, “yeah he was always trying to steal that giant rice crispy treat we sold.” “He wasn’t trying to steal it,” I lied knowing full well that he was. She gave me a playfully look of, “really?” She continued, “anyway, he was so nice and didn’t hit on me. I’m so sick of guys ALWAYS hitting on me and trying to pick me up. Everywhere I go, but Robby here. Yeah, he makes me laugh! We had classes together and then hung out a couple of times. He is the best! We actually have A LOT in common too.” I nodded thinking about how weird it was that she couldn’t see a relationship with me. The first “Friend Zone” experience that I had ever experienced. However, I was dating my future wife at the time too. So, I couldn’t pursue the matter.
“Well, if you didn’t flirt with every guy that came across your path maybe they wouldn’t hit on you.” She laughed, “I don’t flirt with every guy!” I rolled my eyes, “oh please every time we go to the bar you...” “I get us shots! And you get super wasted every time! I don’t hear you complaining then.” I shrugged chortling, “yeah I guess that’s true. What about that guy that got pissed off, because he was buying us shots and you wouldn’t go home with him?” She giggled into the sleeve of her sweatshirt, “yeah he was a big one too! You’ll still always be my knight in shining armor for that.” She stared at Dan, “this guy was drunk and about to attack me I swear! Robby comes between us and...” She gazed at me again, “I still can’t believe you tried to fight him.” “Yeah well if you didn’t pull me into that crowd of people I would have been in the hospital.” She giggled again, “You still going to come over sometime and watch that movie for our Islam class?” I nodded, “I don’t think I’ll understand it without you?” Just then the bus driver over the intercom broke up our conversation, “attention students, I have been informed of shots being fired at Cole Hall and all buses have been rerouted to the west lot as a precaution.”
“D...did he just say Cole Hall,” “Yeah...why,” I picked up my phone and looked at the time 3:10pm. My eyes seemingly bulged out of my head as I stared in front of me. A cold chill washed over my body like someone dropping cold water over me. “Robby, are you ok? What’s wrong?” I could feel Kailyn’s eyes on me. The were burning into me, but I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t move, “what,” I could hear them saying. “I...I...I...would be there...been there...right now.” I thought of Melissa sitting outside the hallway in Cole Hall. Waiting for me to show up and talk with her before her class. I didn’t go this time. I had gone home to eat and have a smoke. I had never done it before but today I did. I whispered to myself thinking of the White Rabbit. Thinking of it calling to me and telling me to go home. “The White Rabbit possibly saved my life.”
************
The elevator stopped and I knew who would be next
Lost in thought failing the white rabbit’s test
I heard the Devil laugh because I couldn’t get past
The hottest piece of ass that gave me the shaft
[The Devil]
If you think I’m hot wait to you see this
That sexy little mama that you couldn’t resist
The girl you were quick to kiss but you missed
The girl that was only interested in the rich

[Floor #4 – The Gold Digger]
[Kailyn]
Body of a player in the sport of tennis with a body so stacked she knows what a ten is
Strawberry Blonde...freckles on her face straight from the highlands of an Irish place
I should have known better it was a fruitless endeavor she measured men in money
Now isn’t that funny...mooching off her boyfriend in front of me, what a dummy
But I was much bigger when she thought I had figures
I told her what my dad did she thought she’d be in a new tax bracket
Realized I was broke as spit did she jump ship
Treated me like a Labrador on the floor begging for a bone back into the “Friend Zone”
I seen her hustle guys for drinks or a place for forty winks
Hustle guys for homework wish I could see how her dome worked
She saw right through me but then tease me with her booty
Didn’t want to know me just knew me wanted to know how she’d do me
A beauty who cruelly schooled me absolutely
[The Devil]
Man that girl’s hot with her push up top and those perky mountain tops
Makes you want to go for it...claim ownership or travel through her hills like a motorist, don’t it
[Me]
I’m SO over it
