Enemy Lyrics by Skip Marley

2019

[Chorus]
Stepping on the enemy
Try fi take my energy
You can't thief the recipe, no
Seeing through the frenemies
Them search for remedy
When there's no therapy

[Post-Chorus]
Oh Why? Why dem try fi put me down?
Oh Lord, why dem try fi take the crown, my crown

[Verse 1]
Remember when I was a likkle pickney?
Mommy show me them and their inequity (she say)
Life back then never pretty
Cause nuff a dem say love but eye u wickedly

What's the remedy for the frenemies?
Why we can't agree just fi disagree?
Out of many people, one melody
So, tell me: why you're tryna put me down?

[Chorus]
Stepping on the enemy
Try fi take my energy
He can't thief the recipe, no
Seeing through the frenemies
Them search for remedy
When there's no therapy

[Post-Chorus]
Oh Why? Why dem try fi put me down?
Oh Lord, why dem try fi take the crown, my crown

[Verse 2]
Through the struggles and the troubles, no one give you blame
They knock me down, then lock me up without reason or rhyme
End up in a predicament, get on your knees and pray
All this time killing ourselves has only brought us pain
Babylon will turn you fool
Don't let them use you like a tool
Lessons come from heartache not only school
Tell me: why you tryna put me down?

[Chorus]
Stepping on the enemy
Try fi take my energy
You can't thief the recipe, no
Seeing through the frenemies
Them search for remedy
When there's no therapy

[Post-Chorus]
Oh Why? Why dem try fi put me down?
Oh Lord, why dem try fi take the crown, my crown
