Foes Lyrics by Sk, the Novelist

Best of Sk... So Far

2017

[Intro]
Devil creeping up on me, he's trying to get real close
God be on my side and we both be in battle pose
This the final lap and I don't really mean to boast
But, got the key to victory, you hitting sour notes
Devil creeping up on me, he's trying to get real close
God be on my side and we both be in battle pose
This the final lap and I don't really mean to boast.....

[Chorus]
Okay, yeah
I got love, love, love for my city
I got love, love, love for my foes
I got love, love, good people with me
I got love, love, what you talking 'bout?

[Verse 1]
I'm a native out of Asheville, North Carolina, check the bio
Ever since the day 1 always took the extra mile
You get thrown in this world God, you don't get no trial
Go on avoid the fire, done heard that from Richard Pryor
We can take it way, way back, back when I was a child
Chilling at my grandmas, cigarettes all on the tile
Skip to Rougie's Buick smoking on that black and mild
Empty out the guts on a Swisher that shit was wild
Weed had orange hair, best damn grass near anywhere
I don't smoke at all these days but at the time nothing compared
Bad habit for an asthmatic, dog now I care
Still The Game "Documentary" and E-40 would blare
2 white friends and 3 black friends, dog that was faction
All it took was good bud and that mutual love, what's crackin'?
Plus the love for rappin', we all waiting in the wing
I'm a good fucking guy, why you hating on my thing?
Truthfully we all is kings, what's a crown anyway?
Ain't gonna help you float these waters, you gonna drown anyway
Truthfully we all is kings, what's a crown anyway?
Ain't gonna help you float these waters, you gonna drown anyway

[Chorus]
I got love, love, love for my city
I got love, love, love for my foes
I got love, love, good people with me
I got love, love, love for my foes
I got love, love, love for my city
I got love, love, love for my foes
I got love, love, good people with me
I got love, love, love for my foes

[Verse 2]
Momma held me down she's like an anchor for the ankle
Gave me what I needed, I'd like to take this time to thank you
Never lived extravagant so I've always been thankful
Work that 9 to 5 so I can go talk to the banker
Love for my family and love for foes
I got love for anybody working, trying to get this dough
I got love for anybody working hard and still be broke
They ain't rich around my way see that's a life I never known, no

[Bridge]
Devil creeping up on me, he's trying to get real close
God be on my side and we both be in battle pose
This the final lap and I don't really mean to boast
But, got the key to victory, you hitting sour notes
Devil creeping up on me, he's trying to get real close
God be on my side and we both be in battle pose
This the final lap and I don't really mean to boast
But, got the key to victory and you not even close, dog

[Chorus]
I got love, love, love for my city
I got love, love, love for my foes
I got love, love, good people with me
I got love, love, love for my foes
I got love, love, love for my city
I got love, love, love for my foes
I got love, love, good people with me
I got love, love, love for my foes
