Demons running
Inside my heads telling me evil thoughts

from Tyler The Creator – Bastard Lyrics on Rap Genius

Even when Tyler is trying to be calm, evil demons make their way into his head and he cannot think straight. Since a major theme in the album is Tyler’s conscience, it looks like within the “Devil and Angel on the shoulder” scenario, the devil is winning; metaphor between the Des Moines river “running” like the demons in his head.
