Roc Marciano
The Crook (The Enemy)
[Chorus]
Yeah, you need to learn somethin' (Learn somethin')
Read a book (Read a book)
Burn somethin' (Burn somethin')
See the crook (See the crook)
The enemy is right behind your eyes, n***a (Behind your eyes, n***a)
They ain't holding you back, it's just your mind, n***a (It's just your mind, n***a)
[Verse 1]
What you think, a n***a owe your ass a hand out? (Hand out)
Your hand out, you lucky just to get a high five (Get a high five)
Come on, wi-fi, you n***as makin' Starbucks (Starbucks)
Callin' bluff, go hit that alarm up (Hit that alarm up)
Whatchu handling when you nappin' at your mamma's house? (Mamma's house)
You blame your family 'cause you can't can it or let your manna out
(Manna out)
You see the lights looking like a small amount (Small amount)
[Chorus]
You need to burn somethin' (Burn somethin')
Read a book (Read a book)
Learn somethin' (Learn somethin')
See the crook (See the crook)
The enemy is right behind your eyes, n***a (Behind your eyes, n***a)
They ain't holding you back, it's just your mind, n***a (It's just your mind, n***a)
[Verse 2]
And if you wise, they tryna keep your ass quiet, n***a (Quiet, n***a)
Better grind like you running out of time (Out of time)
Either that or die living on the line, n***a (On the line, n***a)
Can't stop change (Change), or leave change danglin'
On the side like chains on the side of a zoot suit (Zoot suit)
It's a new day and I stoppin' for Fruit Loops (Fruit Loops)
But when I break bread, I'm eating dessert first (Dessert first)
'Cause I deserve best, what n***a deserve worst? (N***a deserve worst)
[Chorus]
You need to learn somethin' (Learn somethin')
Read a book (Read a book)
Burn somethin' (Burn somethin')
See the crook (See the crook)
The enemy is right behind your eyes, n***a (Behind your eyes, n***a)
They ain't holding you back, it's just your mind, n***a (It's just your mind, n***a)
[Outro]
Yeah
It ain't no service 'less I'm served first, n***a
