Enemies

Shadows crawl where the streetlights blink,

Plot thickens quicker than spilled ink.

Enemies lurk, faces carved in stone,

Snakes in the grass, can't leave 'em alone.

Grime on my hands, built from the dirt,

They pray for my fall, I’m prayin’ they hurt.

Cloaks and daggers, whispers in the air,

I’m the wolf, they just sheep unaware.

Enemies, watchin' every move I make,

Tryna feast, take a bite of my steak.

Hands out, but I owe 'em nothin’,

Stay strapped with the words, percussion thumpin’.

Dreams get snatched like wallets in alleys,

Fake smiles hiding treachery in valleys.

Armor thick, but the soul stays raw,

Play chess with the devil, break every law.

Eyes in the back, can't trust the glance,

Every handshake feels like a chance.

Roll the dice, this life's a gamble,

Enemies crumble, too hot to handle.

Enemies, watchin' every move I make,

Tryna feast, take a bite of my steak.

Hands out, but I owe 'em nothin’,

Stay strapped with the words, percussion thumpin’.
