Know Your Enemy Lyrics by Angry Mic

Intervention

[Angry Mic: Verse One]

Listen to the beating of my heart, I'm prepared for war‬‬‬
‪Talking to my pops, he's been there before‬‬‬

‪Stay calm soldier, I'm not scared no more‬‬‬
‪Then my sister holds my hands, says a prayer before‬‬‬

‪I exit one step in front of the other‬‬‬
‪No regrets, but what the fuck I've done to my mother?‬‬‬

‪Premonitions of her son dead in front of a gutter‬‬‬
‪My blood spilling on the street, lying under a cover‬‬‬

‪Can't sleep, can't eat, yelling "don't leave me!"‬‬‬
‪Only son that she has so this ain't easy‬‬‬

‪I'm so sorry mom but my country needs me‬‬‬
‪To kiil, so I will but you must believe me‬‬‬

‪That I'm going to come back, put my word on my daughter‬‬‬
‪She's been through a lot of shit, she's deserving her father‬‬‬

‪Lord knows I never meant to put this burden upon her‬‬‬
‪But I fight cause I don't want no other person to harm her‬‬‬

‪[Hook‬‬‬]

‪You talking heat? Well, you better fucking hold it, man‬‬‬
‪You see your enemy, you better fucking pull it, man‬‬‬

‪This is a world where they really can control a man‬‬‬
‪Send you to die but you really never overstand‬‬

‪They think I'm on some hippy shit, like talking holding hands‬‬‬
‪I'm talking heat, and you better fucking hold it, man‬‬‬

‪You see your enemy, you better fucking pull it, man‬‬‬
‪This is a world where they really can control a man‬‬‬

[Angry Mic: Verse Two]

‪My heat stays close, gotta bring it with me‬‬‬
‪Ever since democracy pointed his finger at me‬‬‬

‪Took many innocent lives, now they singing "I'm free!"‬‬‬
‪No one could put this into words but I wish you could see‬‬‬

‪They connected us to something that had nothing between us‬‬‬
‪Legitimizing ??? at the way that they treat us

Now they're justified, irate citizens are extremists‬‬‬
‪America, there's no democracy, you're run by elitists‬‬‬

‪Using deception, I know that you all see‬‬‬
‪They involved me in something that didn't involve me‬‬‬

‪Killed my mom and my dad and that's what drawed me‬‬‬
‪To go out in a plane like Valens and Holly‬‬‬

‪Old heads told me no, held me back from my quest‬‬‬
‪They sent me on another to attack and distress‬‬‬

‪If it means I gotta die to send them back to the West‬‬‬
‪In the name of Allah, get it strapped to my chest‬‬‬

[‪Hook]‬‬‬

[Angry Mic: Verse Three]

‪The phone rings once but I don't wanna pick it up‬‬‬
‪Phone rings twice, now I know my shit for lucks

‪Got me fucked and it sucks but it's what made me this intelligent‬‬‬
‪I ain't fucking around, can call me cellibent‬‬‬

‪My daddy went to fight cause a Donkey and a Elephant‬‬‬
‪Went talking about our enemy, decided to embellish it‬‬‬

‪"Hello?"‬‬‬

‪"Is this?-"‬‬‬

‪"Naw, this her granddaughter speaking, she's gone crazy, I give her hands on the weekend"

‪This man told me he was in command for the evening‬‬‬
‪Then he said that God had a plan and a reason‬‬‬

‪Suicide bomber, he couldn't get away from it‬‬‬
‪Daddy's now dead and there's no way of escaping it‬‬‬

‪Mommy went away when the towers hit the pavement‬‬‬
‪Government convinced daddy that someone got away with it‬‬‬

‪He went on some wayward shit, never to return‬‬‬
‪His enemy was him but daddy never ever learned‬‬‬

[‪HOOK]

[Angry Mic: Verse Four]

‪This is a world where they really can control a man‬‬‬
‪With no controller, man, they mind control you, man‬‬‬

‪They use that propaganda to make you pop that hammer‬‬‬
‪So government running your life and this is not Havana‬‬‬

‪I wish I knew now when I was fucking younger‬‬‬
‪But instead every History book just made me dumber‬‬‬

‪We fed lies cause the truth is fucked up‬‬‬
‪So it's no surprise that the youth is fucked up‬‬‬

‪All I used to do is fucking snooze and bust nuts‬‬‬
‪Remove the Dutch guts, then booze and puff puff‬‬‬

‪Been through some rough stuff, refused to suck up‬‬‬
‪Got used to tough luck, had blues like, "What's up?

‪I never went your way, I'm removed like Kruk's nut‬‬
‪Me against the world, my only weapons a mic‬‬‬

‪I don't see no middle ground, so, I'm guessing we'll fight‬‬‬
‪I was fine 'til these politicians stepped in my life‬‬‬

‪Telling me I gotta lean toward the left or the right‬‬‬
‪Never lend my ear to them though they might appear relevant‬‬‬

‪I give my ear to them, shit is always irrelevant‬‬‬
‪For all you fucking dummies, Angry Mic is here spelling it‬‬‬
