And Your Enemies Wait

And your enemies wait, they attack when you're weak, yeah they setting the bait they take you out in your sleep

And I seen it before, before I learnt how to speak, it's the hatred of man the heart he harbour and keep

Yeah you read it and weep, cuz the outlook is bleak, another teen cut down struck down in the street

Hears the cries and her shrieks, she tried hiding her grief, a mother buries her son the ground under her feet

They put my mum in a pool, scrubbed her down with a broom, she's an orphan that's the torture that they gave at her school

And she took it and smiled I guess you would do too, she was like four or five, all red sore and bruised

Yeah I look up and pray, to my God every day, I don't know if he ain't listening or I'm losing my faith

And I'm losing my way, I guess I'm starting to pay, all the sins I committed, and the way I behave

Yeah I sleep on the floor, got nothing to lose, wrong side of the law, so I'm strumming the blues

Man I'm living poor I stopped watching the news, stopped caring 'bout my fellow man and what he go through
