AKIR - State of the Enemy lyrics
[AKIR - State of the Enemy lyrics]
Yeah, man i was chilling in Africa, man
Eating yams on land
With my shorty nah’mean? They uprooted
Me from my home, b
They must be problematic automatic
Response to the tragic
Pictures in false scriptures portraying
Us wreaking havoc
Most of the niggas I know have
Got a problem with po’
Staying high, escaping feeling so low
So there it go out on the streets, you
Could feel the tension, profiling
Filling quotas to increase their
Pension niggas wiling
But really rebuilding defenses
In our ascension trying to rise up out these
Fucking trenches in a period
A long sentence of every day is outlawed
So I’m appalled at the fact I can’t
Drive while black i don’t
Whip a Benz, Beemer, a Lex
Or an Ac’ the more
You beat the concrete is the more
The Beast will find a crack
Steadily staying indifferent while the
Pillars of the
US stand on this contradiction
What about this Prohibition?
If we was Kennedys
Would pennies be the remedy?
Should I let it ride or
Genocide? State of the enemy
I know you’re hungry, man
Don’t worry about it, though me and
Moms going to church tonight we
Gon’ get some food
You know? We got the check
Coming for the end of the
Month so go to school, man here’s a
Dollar, man get a sandwich or something
You nah’mean? I’m sorry, man
But just keep us
Yo, his little man just got out
Of school him and his cousin, wayne
His name mayne just came with his uncle tool
Ready to do anything feeling the ridicule
Ain’t got the flyest guild in the world
But the girls wouldn’t waver from a nigga
With the thug behavior
Skinny nigga couldn’t wait to get his
Weight up it’s in his nature
Chief emancipator of the crew
Robbing niggas just to get a
Brew with his uncle’s twenty-two
So now they’re eating healthier
Suppers in his closet
Assortment of Chuckers didn’t even
Get his dick wet set up by undercovers
Same pigs that trapped his brother
Trying to protect his baby
Mother against her ex-lover
It’s a vicious cycle acting
Like they don’t know
Interfering in Kosovo won’t help us at home
Plans to pack it up and roll
Like Marcus Garvey the enemy
Could never harm me or scar me the
Army still trying to starve me so, instead
They’re trying to ruin our future
Sports entertainment and music there’s
No attainment just movements, but
We’re God’s people
So forever we shall be blessed
Teach your kids the violin ‘cause
It’s time to invest we are the best
Eating yams on land
With my shorty nah’mean? They uprooted
Me from my home, b
They must be problematic automatic
Response to the tragic
Pictures in false scriptures portraying
Us wreaking havoc
Most of the niggas I know have
Got a problem with po’

So there it go out on the streets, you
Could feel the tension, profiling
