My Enemy |
| It’s after me It won’t stop attackin me Everywhere I look I see hip-hop blasphemy |
| Im runnin down the street in the middle of the night |
| Ill never loose sight |
| I forever will fight |
| Why is it after me Why does it haffta be So hard to actually |
| Be an emcee |
| Commercial hip hop |
| Just wont stop |
| Im runnin so hard |
| But it just wont drop |
| I duck in the alley catch my breath count to ten |
| Open up the source and there it is again |
| Starrin me rite in the eye |
| Keep regenerating so I no it wont die |
| I throw the magazine |
| Look around the corner coast is clean |
| I take off running |
| Looking like a dope fiend |
| The commercial industry daemon |
| Started screamin |
| Im out of breath |
| Barely breathin |
| Theres must be a way to end this madness |
| At least knock him out for the count at best |
| I dash into a record store tryin to avoid him |
| Some other kids have tried but never destroyed him |
| I check the stores top 20 see what they got |
| There he is again and he’s got the number 1 spot |
| I jet, covered in sweat, drippin wet |
| Kickin gear faster then a turbo vett |
| Im runnin hard |
| From this daemon disease |
| But it doesn’t come at ease |
| When you |
| The malls commin up on my rite hand side |
| I figure inside |
| It be easy to hide |
| I make my way in this mad crowded place |
| Everybody’s more concerned with this diamonds face |
| I exit the mall |
| Leave the back way |
| Cant take it longer I been runnin all day |
| I managed to make it to the subway |
| But the daemons gaining on me so I cant stay |
| Im runnin as fast as I can |
| I pause for a second and pull out a blue paint can |
| I begin taggin graffiti on the wall |
| As I keep griming the daemon starts to fall |
| Looks like he cant take real hip hop |
| Looks like I found out what makes the daemon drop |
| Keep burning till the wall it lit |
| And that’s it My tag reads BENEFIT |
| I ran out of pain just I was gonna do him in I betta run the daemons getting up again |
| I exit the sub way back to the streets |
| Off in the distance I hear some dope beats |
| I run towards the music I think im gonna loose it Im runnin so hard the my feet start bruising |
| I see glimpses |
| I drop to the ground and start break dancing |
| The daemon slows down |
| I pop into a stall |
| I do a windmill and the daemon starts to fall |
| Looks like it cant take real hip hop |
| Looks like I found out what makes the daemon drop |
| Imma keep breakin |
| Cept legs start shakin |
| I gotta stop cuz my body cant take it I get up Start runnin again |
| The daemon does the same guess this will never end |
| Still I hear the music that I heard before |
| And if commin from a hip hoop record store |
| I make it to the side and see ruckus adds |
| They got 2 turntables and 2 scratch pads |
| I jump behind the techniques and rip it indeed |
| I tear up the records till both of my hands bleed |
| Daemon fell hard that commercial thug |
| But I had to stop scratchin there was too much blood |
| I went through 3 elements the daemon still thrillin |
| Now I cant believe all the blood that im spillin |
| The daemon gets back up on his feet |
| I grab in instrumental record and put on a dope beat |
| I cant run any more no energy |
| So I grab a mike and scream |
| Daemon come battle me I started spittin out metaphors rite and left |
| I told him that he needs to start bitin less |
| I told him he needs to come original |
| I told him that hip hop this is critical |
| Started shaking couldn’t take it any more |
| Heart stopped beating and he fell to the floor |
| Looks like I found out what made him drop |
| And that was the end of commercial hip hop |
