Artist: Nems Album: Prezident's Day Song: My Own Worst Enemy Typed by: OHHLA Webmaster DJ Flash [Nems] Nems Now Everything Makes Sense Geah, uhh I was born alone and I'm damn for sure gon' die alone In this world it's just me and my microphone I feel cursed like the Kennedys And sometimes I feel like I'm my own worst enemy Let me explain, cause when I'm deep in the zone There's nobody that can touch me, just leave me alone It's like I got the key to throne but I lost it Niggaz think it's fun and games tryin to get on, but I'm exhausted And I ain't signed yet, guess it ain't my time yet Start to get high and mess up my whole mindset I'm on the grind yes, doin it big watch me And truthfully, I'm the only person that can stop me I'd be Wayne Gretzky if rap was hockey but I'm more like Barry Bonds, arrogant and cocky Radio don't wanna hear it, labels don't wanna see it I guess they want a follower and I was born a leader (yes) [Chorus] I'm my own worst enemy Sometimes I feel like I just can't do it I'm my own worst enemy But somehow someway, I just gotta get through it [Nems] They say be careful what you wish for; damn I gotta get on Like - why I gotta take all of this shit for? And it ain't nobody's fault but my own Already 24 years old, dawg I'm all grown Jails, institutions, and then there's death The only thing I haven't seen man that's all that's left All that's ever gonna happen if I keep actin up I talk a lot of shit but I'm a G, I back it up I keep it real as FUCK and I do it with a passion You judge a man not by his words but by his actions You might see me laughin, you might see me cryin You might see me livin, you might see me dyin But you won't hear me lyin got the heart of a lion I hear them haters talkin - small thing to a giant They don't know the person that I am, they never will If they don't sign me it's their loss, I'll get another deal [Chorus] [Nems] Def Jam wanted to sign us, Shady wanted my story But my reputation entered the room right before me True story, them drugs had me empty When I'm focused, don't no man could stand against me But the devil had me fooled, thinkin that I need somethin to perform When the truth is, I don't need nothin to get on Ecstasy diet was the quiet before the storm Pocket full of drugs required to do a song I did it all night long and slept the day away Woke up when it was dark out and couldn't stay awake I had to change, couldn't take it any longer It didn't kill me so I guess it made me stronger [Chorus]
