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
