Raekwon
Enemy (Remix)
[Ill Bill]
A general can never live with the shame of defeat
Play the position the same way in the street, labeled a creep
Raised in the ways of the deep thinkers at the same time
I learned the most valuable things
From an uncle leaving syringes stuck in his veins
Heroin dreams, cocaine wishes
Seen a dope fiedn suck a dog's dick for a fix and
It's twisted and sick on this immaculate planet on which we live
That's why I keep a black bag of ammonia by my side ever since
Hollow tip shells, one in the chamber
Sign my name in blood, smudgen the paper
Too many crab motherfuckers and haters
Looking at me like I fucked their moms
Till they wind up hog-tied in the trunks of their cars
It ain't no sunshine, I can smell the jealousy and envy
You're thinking my glass is half full, I'm thinking it's half empty
I think above the law, surpass insanity
Smear your blood on the wall like the Manson Family
Watch your mouth you don't know me homie
Ill Bill, inappropriate like holding a baby, smoking a bogie
Blow your brains out; leave you with an empty head, cause I'm a muthafucking villain like MC Ren

[Hook 2X: Ill Bill]
I live the same life you lead, breathe the same air you breathe
We similar, but no, you my enemy
Bang the fuck out in the street, hold the block down with heat
We similar, but no, you my enemy
[Raekwon]
From every valley all the way to the valley is where allies live
With 40 Calies, selling drugs, winging Denalies
Where coke comes in big ol trucks
Dickies, white tees, authentic Chucks
Stashes in the floors for the cause
A lot of rat killers is lurking, base heads chirping
All these police workers got they hats backwords in black hoods
I'm guarded like the Pope up in Rome
Slight cough, rhyming through phones
Pyjama sets, talking to Ton'
I live through my family
Civilians and loved ones gave drugs and slayed for my paper
Working under some fakers
I recognize the power of loyalty comes from the wants and needs
Everything else, black? Self-explanatory
Take it back to Timexes and Audi's
Pushing through 1-39th, seeing Spanish: Jesus and Ralphie
You know when we came we was holding
Besides bread, it was lead
Go head, search us, guns is by the shoulders
We countin' every one in the back of the store
Different whores will jump out
Different walls smelling like cum
Nowadays n***as know hustling
Yeah, go head, tell it wrong and get jinxed by the FBI
Word to every kingpin's wish
Move humble and hard, play the right men, slay the right bitch
Through the mix of concurrent drama, we honor n***as
That died, got trapped up and fell behind karma
This real n***a's lecture is destiny
Play the perfect hand of perfection
Everything's a blessing at heart
I sat back like the giant from start
Play number two position
Learn to listen, gamble with smarts
Now we pushing from town to town
Realizing credit's the shit, but can't trust no n***as around
I try to establish life on my own, blaze a hundred bones
And think, I'm painting by the second, it's on
Yo, call the flag of a Muslim son, who base his life on guns and murder
Free business, handling chumps
Now alot of n***as is gone, sleeping on the Rican on the catwalk
Hawk on his leg, back on his own
A wise man set up for failure
[Interlude: Raekwon]
Yo, yo, yo, untie him man

[Hook 2X]
