The Enemy
-I think of the enemy as many, varied, ever-changing and eternal. Fighting them is like
fighting a many-headed monster, which, each time a neck is severed, sprouts a head even
fiercer and cleverer than before.You are fighting that which is unfixed, mutating,
indestructable.-
I can honestly say I don't have any enemies right now
If I did, I'd wreak total havoc upon them and that's a vow
If you come at me wrong, I'll mess up your home
Like a letter to the parent saying her children are gone
Like a Muslim I'm calm
But like a Muslim I bomb
I'd beat you up bad like a hundred arms
My enemy ticks me off to breaking point, you'll hear loud alarms
Why? Because I have a temper like the fiercest tropical storm
Enemies everywhere think they can intimidate me using unnecessary might
A beaten dog may fear you, but as soon as you turn around he's gonna strike
Ohh, but not me
I'm known for facing my challenges head-on
You thought I'd run from a battle, you are dead wrong
They say keep your enemy close, keep my enemy close for what
I promise if I catch my enemy close I would roast his guts
I'll do it to perfection to the point they wouldn't want any more
If they come back I'll have them on lock like a closed door
Do you see why I use the word opponents instead of enemies
You want to be my enemy, say farewell to your family
