My Secret Enemy
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)
Shoobie-doobie-do now, hey (Come on)
Shoobie-doobie-do now hey
Shoobie-doobie-do now hey (Check it)
Shoobie-doobie-do now
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 it's own, rest assured it's my dome
Maybe I need to go to bed
Could have sworn I just heard that voice up in my head
Not's 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 the 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 fuckin' past (I just seen you yesterday)
It's my fuckin' past (I just seen you yesterday)
It's my fuckin' past (I just seen you yesterday)
It's my fuckin' past (I just seen you yesterday)
It's my fuckin' past (I just seen you yesterday)
It's my fuckin' past (I just seen you yesterday)
It's my fuckin' 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 the 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, huh, 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
In the news today, Lisa Lopes known as Left Eye
Of the group TLC was arrested again
This time for drug trafficking
Miss Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes was seen today standing
Just standing, in the midst of an undercover drug bust
Gotta get away from the past (At this time)
If I make it I just might last (We do not have any information on miss "Left Eye's" penalty
Gotta get away from the past
Trynna escape it but it's 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 bitch
I'm his bitch and 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'
Secret
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
For today's weather we're at a record all time high in the rain season
It's been raining cats and dogs here in Atlanta for the 44th day
And in national sports today, André Rison of the Atlanta Falcons
Is regarded as America's sports hero, by doing what many Americans
Has only dreamed of, this historic event of removing Deion Sander's tooth
With a double combination hit to the mouth during sunday nights
Football game brought tears of joy to many American's eyes
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)
