ENEMY OF THE STATE Lyrics

Uh, yeah

Yeah, 2197

Check

The true enemy of the state is the melanated guy

With a liberated mind

I don't stand in front of wrath with no action

I reciprocate the fire

And I obliterate the odds

If you niggas rapped like me, it would invigorate your pride

I been the great at rhymes

When you rappin', you insinuatin' lies

You fake 'cause you imitate the frauds

Misappropriate the art

If you down for me, just know that you associate with God

I give em pain and the harm

They ain't safe from the rod

I feel Colonel Gadaffi givin' praise to Allah

In his last moments knowin' that he came really far

For his people and he raised up the bar

I'm his sequel and I aim at the stars

I got the game in my palm

I am not afraid, we can spar

'Cause the pain made me hard

I'm a slave for my Moms

'Cause she gave what she got

Just to make me a star

And she raised me so strong

With no hate in my heart

I'm not ashamed of my flaws

'Cause they made me a boss

I'm not takin' a loss

I give praise to the Source

I'm bound to live my days knowing change is in force

You niggas must be crazy, I'm not fazed by you boys

I leave the game slayed, I don't pay em remorse

You need to make way or I'll take it by force

I lead the way with a torch

So I got no time to be vulnerable

I'm uncomfortable

Focusin' on what the numbers do

My forefathers were enemies of the state

They fought hard against slavery and apartheid, uh

They fought hard, caught felonies, caught a case

The regime poured acid on Lumumba's remains, uh

My forefathers were enemies of the state

They fought hard against slavery and apartheid, uh

They fought hard, caught felonies, caught a case

The regime poured acid on Lumumba's remains

Yeah, demise is for the weak

I been silent 'cause the talkin' is just cheap

I been rhymin' since a toddler who was crawlin' on his knees

I smoke pounds of marijuana, put the trauma all at ease

'Kwenza umshana wena mfana ngoba uyintwana lana kimi

K'sakaza ngempama mawungazwanga wena stipha

Mina ngizwana nale zaka

If unayo, ungang'biza

And sometimes, kunok' thata iskashana

Mawunokuphanda mara zama uzowina

I remember humble beginnings I'd hustle for iKlippa

Noma ungathini, ngiyazazi nginamasimba

Ngiyazi ukuthi ngiyinja

And ngiyazi ukuthi nginzima

uMawethu k'dala asitshela ukuthi thina singama leader

Manje bheka labo mreppa sebaya bhukha ama-feature

Sifike kude from ukudla isinkwa esingana nex

Siyehlisa ngom'bhubudlu, amaphupho wethu a-fresh

Amaphupho wethu wokhuphumelela nama genge

We were never accepted, abantu bathi voetsek

Still I persisted, no, I was never relaxed

I was fiddlin', riddlin', scribblin' all these raps

I was flippin' em diligent, spittin' it on the wax

I'm a venomous predator, killin' it, can't be matched

I'm the wickedest, sinister, fearsome to you cats

I got limitless written shit, excellent with the facts

I assemble and mention em, sentences with no cap

Exponentially high pen game

Effortlessly and discreet like a king in a chess game

While all the other pieces have set up for the checkmate

An organised leader so that's why I'd expect hate

You niggas press buttons just to see me express rage

You niggas ain't nothin' the world need less fakes

My forefathers were enemies of the state

They fought hard against slavery and apartheid, uh

They fought hard, caught felonies, caught a case

The regime poured acid on Lumumba's remains, uh

My forefathers were enemies of the state

They fought hard against slavery and apartheid, uh

They fought hard, caught felonies, caught a case

The regime poured acid on Lumumba's remains

I'm an enemy of the state, yeah

Enemy of the state, yeah

Enemy of the state, yeah

I'm an enemy of the state, yeah

Enemy of the state, yeah

Enemy of the state, yeah

I'm an enemy of the state, yeah
