My Enemy
I'm trapped in this box, with nowhere to go
There's no ventilation here, for the air to flow
Walls so tight 360 degrees around me
Silence and darkness so thick
I can't see a thing in front of me
Gasping for air, it’s hard to breathe
Searching for a way out, I've got to leave
With my hands placed against these walls
Trying hard to find a door
I can feel the walls closing in on me more and more
So as the panic attack starts, I take short breaths
Trying to come up with ideas
But there aren't none left
Attacks are coming quicker, as my mind deceive me
Reminded of words from Jigga
So I got to ' Breathe Easy'
I got to defeat these devils my family needs me
So as I fight to survive all the things that are making me mad
Trapped in these walls is really making me sad
I badly need to exhale, that’s no doubt
Unless you've experienced claustrophobia to this degree
You could never imagine what I'm talking about
I'm trying hard to get out
There's so much more of me that I would like to give
Air is what I need to live
You see........
My sign is Cancer, so like other Crabs
When I step up, I get pulled back down
But yet, I breathe easy, No need to stop me now
So I push a little harder
Trying to knock these walls down
The more I push these enemies
The more they try to hang around
O' I get it now,
It's not about my enemies and how they could hurt someone else
And the more I try to stop them from hurting someone else
I hurt myself
So I use prayer as a weapon in this spiritual fight
The harder I pray, the more I see the light
These walls are starting to open wider, with ever word that I say
I can see the sun shine bright, just like a summer day
As I made my get away, the demons started to flee
Free at last, No longer trapped with my Inner Me.
