After The Enemy Lyrics by Akira The Don

Get Some

2022

What motivates me?
First of all, with the man in the cave
And this idea and this thought of the enemy
That was a thought that used to drive me
And kinda haunt me and make me get up early and work hard to push myself
Because I knew that somewhere out there, there was an enemy
A real enemy, a real man, a person, a human that was waiting
That was preparing for me
And therefore, I needed to preparе for him
I needed to be ready I needеd to be the things I always talk about
I needed to be stronger, faster, and smarter and better
So that when we did meet on the battlefield
I would be ready for that rendezvous, for that meeting, that fate, that battle
And that thought, that thought of the enemy, it absolutely fueled me
[Chorus]
The enemy
That was a thought that used to drive me
And kinda haunt me
The enemy
That was a thought that used to drive me
And kinda haunt me
And when I was a leader in the SEAL Teams, in charge of men
It was even more profound because I was thinking about that rendezvous
For everybody that I led, everyone I was in charge of, everyone that I trained
And I felt that burden
The burden of responsibility to prepare those men
Protect those, those men, those – those frog men
Those warriors, my brothers
And it, it was my burden to train those guys and prepare them
And that burden, it may have made me a little bit crazy, a little bit paranoid
A little over-the-top
But I didn't really know any
Any other way
[Chorus]
The enemy
That was a thought that used to drive me
And kinda haunt me
The enemy
That was a thought that used to drive me
And kinda haunt me
So now, I am no longer a combat leader
I no longer prepare men for war
So the drive and the motivation is from a different place
It's from a solemn place
The drive now and the motivation now is
Not really from the enemy anymore
Now it's from my friends, my brothers
It's from those SEALs that I knew and that I cared about
More than anything
And that they sacrificed everything for us, for me
[Chorus]
The enemy
That was a thought that used to drive me
And kinda haunt me
The enemy
That was a thought that used to drive me
And kinda haunt me
Those guys, they gave their lives for us
And now, I cannot help but think and remember
That every breath that we take
It's a sacred gift from those men
Every day we have, every sunrise
Every thought, and every smile and every laugh, it's a gift
And I will treasure that gift, that gift of life
And I will not let it go to waste, not one second of it
I'll cherish every moment of it
And I will live it
I will live it in their memory, in their honor
