Beat Rabbi, Listener, Sintax the Terrific - Enemy Mine lyrics

Looking in the mirror to
Measure my competition
And it's clear that I better bring
My 'A' game against him
Tall, gray, and lithesome
Making a king's income
Fool for himself, thinking he brings wisdom
Never been drinking, brags about his virtue
Doesn't realize that conceit's a liquor too
Have you ever seen a slicker dude
Knows a trick or two
He thinks he's complicated when he
Says he's making simple moves
A flirt in his smile
Show you what his dimples do
Knows that he can prosper putting
People in a gentle mood
Windblown look, but his fade is too solid
Wears a cocktail of pomade
Cream and gel product
Acts like a pacifist, talks like an activist
But hasn't walked a picket line
And isn't that compassionate
Preaches Christ adamant
But really loves to mock
God's children as they stumble in
The TV that he watch reps hip hop
But speaks with forced street slang
Like maybe you took a course
In how to freestyle, mang
Sometimes, I feel like I'm fighting a phantom
A bantam weight boxer with
The heavyweight champion
Dancing in my corner to tackle the enemy
And just see if me is up for battling me

We don't know if you could ever come against
We don't know if you could ever
We don't know if you could we don't know

Some people? without keys
Using tongues as swords and cutting
Teeth on your truly
Breaking phrases into words used as bullets
Not band-aids tech nines for tourniquets
Hand grenades for handshakes
Begging for the truth
But never waiting for the answers
Too scared of radiation and too
Fond of growing cancers
Let's fix our bayonets and take
A stab at getting better
And throw in our two cents without
Having to talk about the weather
We can inject passion and not
Poison when we're making noise
And affect the world without boredom
With mourning in the morning
What a novel idea and honey I'm still writing
Stock up on forks
Pull up a chair and don't stop fighting
Your train of thought is late and
We're demanding a full refund
We're staying in tonight baby
Cause there's nothing on but reruns

We don't know if you could ever come against
We don't know if you could ever
We don't know if you could we don't know
