Little Demon (Arca Remix) Lyrics
[Intro: Frank Ocean]
Do He got a vision for my—
[Verse 1: Frank Ocean]
Living on the fringes, Hendrix shit
Bleach-blonde Lennox shit
Hot boy, British shit
Top Boy, British shit
Found the wrong kid, eh
Gotta calm kid, yeah
From congea to orange via my Orange shit, uh
[Chorus: Frank Ocean]
Little demon on my shoulder, that's dependent on my mind
Somebody pray for my opponents, got this vengeance on my mind
Is God workin' on it, do He got a vision for my life?
Do He got a vision for my life? Do He got a vision for my—
[Verse 2: Frank Ocean]
Young boy, pretty of course, not funny, but shit
Lil' niggas just got some money and shit
Got a whole plate, can't stomach this shit
None of this shit (Damn)
Like a porn clip (Uh), if you turn up the mix
All my fantasies, they fucked up, you can hear they screams
Little demon on my shoulder, that's dependent on my mind
Somebody pray, I gotta pray, I got these visions in my mind
Attempted murder charges, still attempted, tryna attempt, tryna—
Attempted murder charges, still attempted, tryna kill—
[Verse 3: Frank Ocean]
Cocaine took several father figures out of mind
Attempted murder charges, still attempted, tryna kill the guy
Ego not your migo, worst decisions made for sake of pride
Splits, Van Damme, fifty-fifty chance I let shit sli—
[Break: Frank Ocean]
(—lide)
L's this just if I ain't have to tap her? I could see for twenty miles out
How do you know if that Glock's gone cut the cold in July, hot
SIG Sauer, Roscoe's Chicken 'N Waffles with this ice, uh
Notice I was brought up with ones you got in mind
Nigga, I'm standin' right here but I pretend like I don't hear them
[Verse 4: Skepta]
Yeah
Piece of paper in my mouth, let my demons out to play
Then I buried 'em in the dirt
'Cause they was standin' in my way
I wasn't welcome in the church
Someone that Jesus couldn't save
I'm the real livin' evil, I spit on the devil's name
About
“Little Demon” is an unreleased track first previewed by Frank Ocean on November 19, 2018, with a video posted on his Instagram story. He then played the whole track at his third PrEP+ party in New York City on October 31, 2019.
This was the fourth new track he previewed at the set of nightlife events. It was also premiered for the first time on episode 009 of blonded RADIO.
The 7-inch vinyl for “Little Demon” became available for purchase on blonded.co on November 3, 2019, and expected to ship in 8–12 weeks; however, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, blonded postponed the vinyl’s release in February 2020, providing customers the option to cancel their order or substitute their purchase with another to-be-announced 7-inch single (presumably “These Days”). Unfortunately, the anticipated replacement never materialized.
On December 3, 2020, blonded announced they would not release the vinyl due to the unforeseen events of 2020 and issued refunds for the remaining orders.

The title, “Little Demon,” is derived from the literary device known as a “shoulder devil,” used in literature and film to depict the inner conflict of a character’s conscience, often in the form of an imaginary devil resting upon a character’s shoulder, advising them on how to act.
No, this track marks the first collaboration between the two artists.
