Enemy
You know killmonger was right
How can I make a change if I'm quiet (hey)
Society lied
Made it seem easy to succeed as a black guy
The truth remained unseen
I'm tired of living someone else's dream (fuck that)
Don't have a right to be tired
Talented tenth so I gotta work hard (mmm)
Going till we bleed and sweat
Ingrained in America's culture from the onset
Might as well have some fun
You have a talent where you know you're the one
And spread your voice
Imma take this success by choice
Got me feeling like the enemy
Break through your ceilings like the enemy
Now that I know I'm the enemy
I'm about to do villainous things
Since you see me as the enemy
Won't catch any feelings like the enemy
And find life's meaning as the enemy
Watch Romeo spread his wings
If this is sounding insane
Give me a brief time to explain
It's Romeo B on a venomous grind so no more wasting time
I tried to walk the path
Catholic boy didn't want to see Satan's wrath
Living life by the rules
Didn't help me understand that I gotta choose (gotta choose)
How to spend my time
Prioritizing myself was a slow grind
But you have to be willing
To acknowledge that you're the villain
So it's time to demand
Time to make a fucking stand
Now that we can't be bought
It's our solemn job to take what we want
Got me feeling like the enemy
Break through your ceilings like the enemy
Now that I know I'm the enemy
I'm about to do villainous things
Since you see me as the enemy
Imma fast my feelings like the enemy
And find life's meaning as the enemy
Watch Romeo spread his wings
Black and ivy league educated (yep)
Learned you can't make a difference by waiting (nope)
My stairway to heaven just fell
So come join me on the highway to hell
If you're feeling like the enemy
Break through your ceilings like the enemy
Now that you know that you're the enemy
It's okay to do villainous things
Since you see me as the enemy
Imma fast my feelings like the enemy
And find life's meaning as the enemy
Watch Romeo spread his wings
Hmm yeah
Imma just do my thing
How can I make a change if I'm quiet (hey)
Society lied
Made it seem easy to succeed as a black guy
The truth remained unseen
I'm tired of living someone else's dream (fuck that)
Don't have a right to be tired
Talented tenth so I gotta work hard (mmm)
Going till we bleed and sweat
Ingrained in America's culture from the onset

You have a talent where you know you're the one
And spread your voice
Imma take this success by choice
Got me feeling like the enemy
Break through your ceilings like the enemy
Now that I know I'm the enemy
I'm about to do villainous things
Since you see me as the enemy
Won't catch any feelings like the enemy
And find life's meaning as the enemy
Watch Romeo spread his wings
