Demon is about personal struggles that follow success. The “demon” in the song is not a literal figure; it represents: Temptation, Emotional pressure, Bad habits and self-doubt, Inner voices that threaten peace and growth.
Zlatan’s verses touch on trust issues, survival instincts, and staying guarded, shaped by life experiences and the weight of expectations.
While Qing Madi’s hook and verses add emotional depth. She embodies the internal conversation of fear, desire, and vulnerability, making the song feel like a dialogue between strength and softness.

[Intro: Qing Madi, Zlatan]
Ah, ah ah (Ibile)
Ah, ah (Kapaichumarichupako)
Yeah
[Verse 1: Qing Madi]
You think I'm lazy and I don't know shit
But I've taken a minute to where I'm going
I'm praying hard to a God only in the morning
'Cause I know in a moment I'm gon' be sorry
And I know I'm right here for my girl who gon' need me
I'm right here for the talk on the GC
And I dey here for another family meeting
[Chorus: Qing Madi]
But right on that note
Maybe I should let you know, I should let you know
Maybe I should let you know, I should let you know
And I should let you know, I should let you know
Thought that I should let you know, I should let you know
That I'm fighting my demons (Oh)
And I will never let you inside them (Inside them)
You know I'm fighting my demons
And I will never let you inside them, oh
[Verse 2: Zlatan]
Clouded mind, heavy head
Crazy thoughts, still paper chasing
I pray I don't lose my mind
All I wanna say is they don't really care, so
I just gotta keep feelings inside
I've been fighting my demons, so don't think my life is picture perfect
I've been sowing seed, so I can have a serious harvest
Could've been drunk in love, don't wanna have a liquor mindset
Cut off bad energy, unleash my scissors aspect
I have my fears 'cause I already taste the good life
Emi ti n ma n ri nigboro tawon eya n ma n juba
I see responsibilities, ti lashe ba gbe school bag
School fees B.I.S. o shey nkan to le ya ni Kuda
Back then, my life was not a life I think was righteous
But I had to put the right force, got me fighting for the right course
Sometimes e go dey sweet, sometimes e go dey bitter
But what I'm craving inside is to make my family better
While I'm doing so
The devil try to take away my soul
But I refuse to go, got me hustling down from coast to coast
I called the Holy Ghost 'cause it's only Him that can save my boat
I'm sinking deep, I'm sinking deep, I hold your hand in hope
Y'all only see what's going on all on the camera
But hard to see when I'm losing focus and stamina
It's not always about the money and the dough
I'm fighting my own demons, I just thought to let you know
Ah, say, while going through all these
I've got my son to raise
ZTTW, my fashion store and music chase
I'm always on the run, running this human race
I'm always on the road, Oluwa can you take the brake
I'm moving further, now I'm here to all my peers who disappeared but reappeared
Won ti ge eti mi lo, I no dey hear
I'm well aware, say you get problem me self get my own
Bukata plenty, my head dey scatter, I'm out the zone
The more I go higher, the more problems I meet
Don't even sleep 'cause I'm trying to make out a payment slip
But no be everything wey eye see na him mouth go talk
So here's a little clip from all my thoughts
[Outro: Qing Madi]
And if you cry asking why I was sober
Sweetie, would you fall for me? Oh na na
I found that you think I'm darker, but right on that note
Maybe I should let you know (I should let you know)
I should let you know (I should let you know)
I should let you know-w, yeah
That I'm fighting my demons, and I'll never let you inside
I'm fighting these demons (And I will never let you inside them)
You shouldn't come inside me, oh
