The Enemy Within

INTRO

 

Yeah! I wanna dedicate this one to my man…the late Tupac Shakur!
Let’s get it! I know you out there listenin’! Common!

 

CHORUS

 

When it’s all said and done, you know what it is
Take a look in the mirror you’re The Enemy Within
We all fall down, strugglin’ with sin
Get your ass up now and fight The Enemy Within

 

FIGHT THE ENEMY—(Fight The Enemy Within)
FIGHT THE ENEMY—(Fight The Enemy Within)
FIGHT THE ENEMY—(Fight The Enemy Within)
FIGHT THE ENEMY—(Fight The Enemy Within)

 

VERSE 1

 

I woke up in the morning and looked into the mirror
What was staring back was a devilish figure
I tried to walk away but it pulled me deeper
Flashing my life before my eyes and I’m feelin’ weaker
Saying you’re never gonna make it; you had your chance you didn’t take it
You’re gettin’ old and your dreams are faded
Plus your bank account’s low and the bills are late
No credit cards bankrupt so you can’t escape
You have to work two jobs just to eat a plate
Can’t even date late nights so you masturbate
Sippin’ the liquor, you’ll never be a father figure
Cursed with divorce, alone and your problems linger
Watching your peers buy homes, raising families
You roam like a cell phone, unhappily
Peering through a broken window, stuck in limbo
Need to fight my Dr. Jekyll rest in peace to Kimbo

 

CHORUS

 

When it’s all said and done, you know what it is
Take a look in the mirror you’re The Enemy Within
We all fall down, strugglin’ with sin
Get your ass up now and fight The Enemy Within

 

FIGHT THE ENEMY—(Fight The Enemy Within)
FIGHT THE ENEMY—(Fight The Enemy Within)
FIGHT THE ENEMY—(Fight The Enemy Within)
FIGHT THE ENEMY—(Fight The Enemy Within)

 

VERSE 2

 

It’s time to move forward without lookin’ back
‘Cause time waits for no man stuck in his past
Renew the mind plant seeds and take a different path
All it takes is one blast for a heart attack
Mournin’ the deaths for all my people they ain’t coming back
The devil laughs when a man sells his soul for cash
Pourin’ my spirit in these lyrics ‘till there’s nothin’ left
The worst death is a dream that never took a breath
Makin’ excuses, fearing that you’ll fail the test
Seeing allusions, going through the motions—depressed
Come take a ride with me, what will be your legacy?
Pulling off a robbery or fighting off your enemy?
God is our destiny regardless of ethnicity
Whether rich or poor for every man and woman listening
We all have demons that we need to exorcise
But the greatest one of all…is the enemy inside

 

CHORUS

 

When it’s all said and done, you know what it is
Take a look in the mirror you’re The Enemy Within
We all fall down, strugglin’ with sin
Get your ass up now and fight The Enemy Within

 

FIGHT THE ENEMY—(Fight The Enemy Within)
FIGHT THE ENEMY—(Fight The Enemy Within)
FIGHT THE ENEMY—(Fight The Enemy Within)
FIGHT THE ENEMY—(Fight The Enemy Within)
