My Secret Enemy Lyrics

(appears as a bonus track on the Red Light Special single)



Now I lay me down to sleep
That was then, but this is now
I pray the lord my soul to keep 
I let you slip away somehow
If I should die before I wake 
If I should die my pain shall stay
I pray the lord my soul to take
I made you what you are today

Now as I look at myself I'm seein' someone familiar 
Starin' back at me through every deep crack that's in my mirror 
And as I think to myself 
I'm hearin somebody else scream at me (shhh....)
I no longer hear from 
Could it be the unknown 
Sneaking into my zone 
Off we roam 
My spirituals is not alone
I'm visualizing this invisible clone 
It's my own and its own 
Rest assured its my dome 
Maybe I need to go to bed 
Could have sworn I just heard that voice up in my head 
Nots while I raps 
When it hits me (ha ha ha ha....) 
But now it's laughin at me
Yo what the hell is happenin' 
Please somebody slap me 
No way not another physical display 
Somethin' must got me backin' off from way back in tha day 
But what can it be 
I can't recall the memories so if I may ask

I just seen you yesterday 
It's my f**kin' past 
I just seen you yesterday 
It's my f**kin' past 
I just seen you yesterday 
It's my f**kin' past 
I just seen you yesterday 
It's my f**kin' past 
I just seen you yesterday 
It's my f**kin' past 
I just seen you yesterday 
It's my f**kin' past 
I just seen you yesterday 
It's my f**kin' past 
I just seen you yesterday

By any means was all it ever seemed to be 
This reminiscin' with my past has got me 
Caught up in a daydream 
Stay in bed with niggas who can pay tha rent 
Spending my green on panty hose and tight jeans 
I used to be so amused 
Cause the tools that I used to break rules 
Only seemed to confuse as to whose bein' abused 
Place yourself in my shoes 
My blessed look of innocence was never refused

Now that I choose to abide 
Hello Left Eye 
And put my past to the side 
I don't guess I 
And kill a piece of my pride 
Need to introduce myself 
You already said hi 
Oh so your the match that lights my fuse 
Amuse
Huh, I thought I left you on on that cruise 
You lose it 
Your man took my place when it threw me in your face 
So we drank up all the booze

Sing the blues 
And yo we end up on the news 
Sing the blues 
We end up on the news 
Sing the blues 
We end up on the news 
Sing the blues 
I said we end up on the news 
Sing the blues 
We end up on the news 
Sing the blues 
And yo we end up on the news 
Sing the blues 
We end up on the news 
Sing the blues 
We end up on the news

Gotta get away from the past 
If I make it I just might last 
Gotta get away from the past 
Trynna escape it but its movin' too fast 

Gotta get away from the past 
If I make it I just might last 
Gotta get away from the past 
Trynna escape it but it's movin' too fast. 

We was walkin' before most babies could crawl 
Yes yes y'all 
Above all one foot tall 
Ain't no way I'm takin' a down fall 
I'm restructurin' walls
Interruptin' your calls 
And goin' straight to the source 
With this nut in my balls 
Every time the blind lead the blind 
Another one of my kind's outta sight and outta mind 
I'm comin' through the press 
With this sense you can't mess 
I'm sittin' in your dreams 
Go ahead take a rest 
I'm poppin off your nigga's chest 
Should I be in distress? 
I'm niggas poppin' on the scene 
And they can get these 
Thats my bit*h 
I'm his bit*h 
What the hell do they know? 
Is that so? 
This same day case scenario
And I could care less 
About your people and their relentlessness 
Towards the Eye 
Say goodbye 

And tell his moms to stop cryin' 
Go tell his moms to stop cryin' 
His moms to stop cryin' 
Go tell his moms to stop cryin'

My secret enemy
You ain't no friend to me
My secret enemy
You ain't no friend to me
My secret enemy
You ain't no friend to me
My secret enemy
