Living With the Enemy Lyrics by Rob Carlile

Mentally Illmatic

2022

[Intro]
Nobody's been talking to me, I haven't even been talking to myself!
[Verse 1]
Here’s a little C4 for the class prank
Here’s a little sugar for your gas tank
Here’s a little sport, you take a short stroll on a gang plank
And then hang back and fall
Here’s a side of cyanide for breakfast
An unlucky number in your setlist
Here’s a little peep into the people’s mental checklist
I don’t get this at all
Boy, you’ve been sleeping
It’s your wake-up call now
When you’re climbing I come creeping
Just to watch you fall down
What you’re sowing I’ve been reaping
And you’ve lost it all now
And your wall’s down
Here’s your call out
It’s a small town
And I’m all around
[Chorus]
Oh
If that’s how you wanna go
Then you’re living with the enemy
Welcome to reality
You and me
You’ll find me where you go
If that’s how you wanna go
You’re living with the enemy
Wondering could we only ever be
Enemies
You and me
Enemies
[Verse 2]
Here’s the villain back for the sequel
Here’s a little freak without an equal
No-one wants to speak or hear or be too near your evil
And the meek will inhume
Here’s a little lesson in perception
Feeling’s that are current are correction
Here’s a road of trials, phoney smiles and rejection
On a trek to the tomb
Boy, I’ve been kind
Like you don’t understand
I reject you as protection
Before everybody can
Somewhere in your mind
There’s a watching angry man
Not a fan
Here to reprimand
What he can’t stand
[Chorus]
Oh
If that’s how you wanna go
Then you’re living with the enemy
Welcome to reality
You and me
You’ll find me where you go
If that’s how you wanna go
You’re living with the enemy
Wondering could we only ever be
Enemies
You and me
Enemies
