The Enemy Lyrics

The Enemy lyrics

[Big L]

 I drive up and down Harlem blocks, iced out watch

 Knots in my socks, cops think I'm selling rocks

 Pulling me over too see if I'm drunk

 but I'm sober they wouldn't fuck with me if I drove a Nova

 Listen Columbo you're mad because your money come slow

 And what you make in a year I make in one show

 Now you wanna frisk me and search my ride

 Call me all kinda names try to hurt my pride

 You're just mad cause I'm a young cat, pockets dumb fat

 Talkin bout where the gun at, I been there and done that

 I'm through with that illegal life, I'm stayin legit

 I love to see cars come cruisin bye and playin my shit

 I walk around with six thou' without a pist-al, my whole click's wild

 I'm rich pal, no more sticks I'm makin hits now

 I drink Cristal, I'm through breakin laws

 I don't sell coke anymore, I do tours

 So get that flashlight out of my face

 To bring me down them Jakes'll do whatever it takes

 Word up them federals got my phone and my house tapped

 Praying that I fall for the mouse trap, I doubt that

 

 Chorus: Big L

 

 Why do I end up in so much shit

 I done came way too far to be callin it quits

 Jake wanna lock me up even though I'm legit

 They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thick

 

 [Fat Joe]

 Aiyyo enough's enough, federals try to set me up

 Put me in cuffs and crush what I lust into dust

 Plus, they want a nigga sewed, but they know

 Big Joey Crack ain't never rat a cat that he know

 Fo' sho', death before dishonor; I left the streets alone

 since Tone deceased it almost killed his mama

 So I'ma keep doin what I'm doin

 Pursuin my dream til there enough cream to start my own union

 And show these kids how legit it is

 Shit is real I used to steal but now I own several businesses

 So where's your witness that you claim to have, sayin that I'm takin half

 Extortin New York and not payin tax

 I'm layin back, playin the role, playin the low

 But it's the same ol Joe so don't get K.O.d

 Hey yo I'm gonna fry for what I never did

 or catch a heavy bid, why don't they just let a nigga live?

 

 Chorus 2X

 

 "What would you do..

 if the vicious enemy suddenly started comin at you..

 armed to the teeth, and ready to kill you?"
