TLC - My Secret Enemy Lyrics

(appears as a bonus track on the red light special single)

Now I lay me down to sleep
That was then, but this is now
I pray the lord my soul to keep
I let you slip away somehow
If I should die before I wake
If I should die my pain shall stay
I pray the lord my soul to take
I made you what you are today

Now as I look at myself I'm seein' someone familiar
Starin' back at me through every deep crack that's in my mirror
And as I think to myself
I'm hearin somebody else scream at me (shhh....)
I no longer hear from
Could it be the unknown
Sneaking into my zone
Off we roam
My spirituals is not alone
I'm visualizing this invisible clone
It's my own and it's own
Rest assured it's my dome
Maybe I need to go to bed
Could have sworn I just heard that voice up in my head
Nots while I raps
When it hits me (ha ha ha ha....)
But now it's laughin at me
Yo what the hell is happenin'
Please somebody slap me
No way not another physical display
Somethin' must got me backin' off from way back in tha day
But what can it be
I can't recall the memories so if I may ask

I just seen you yesterday
It's my fuckin' past
I just seen you yesterday
It's my fuckin' past
I just seen you yesterday
It's my fuckin' past
I just seen you yesterday
It's my fuckin' past
I just seen you yesterday
It's my fuckin' past
I just seen you yesterday
It's my fuckin' past
I just seen you yesterday
It's my fuckin' past
I just seen you yesterday

By any means was all it ever seemed to be
This reminiscin' with my past has got me
Caught up in a daydream
Stay in bed with niggas who can pay tha rent
Spending my green on panty hose and tight jeans
I used to be so amused
Cause the tools that I used to break rules
Only seemed to confuse as to whose bein' abused
Place yourself in my shoes
My blessed look of innocence was never refused

Now that I choose to abide
Hello left eye
And put my past to the side
I don't guess I
And kill a piece of my pride
Need to introduce myself
You already said hi
Oh so your the match that lights my fuse
Amuse
Huh, I thought I left you on on that cruise
You lose it
Your man took my place when it threw me in your face
So we drank up all the booze

Sing the blues
And yo we end up on the news
Sing the blues
We end up on the news
Sing the blues
We end up on the news
Sing the blues
I said we end up on the news
Sing the blues
We end up on the news
Sing the blues
And yo we end up on the news
Sing the blues
We end up on the news
Sing the blues
We end up on the news

Gotta get away from the past
If I make it I just might last
Gotta get away from the past
Trynna escape it but it's movin' too fast

Gotta get away from the past
If I make it I just might last
Gotta get away from the past
Trynna escape it but it's movin' too fast.

We was walkin' before most babies could crawl
Yes yes y'all
Above all one foot tall
Ain't no way I'm takin' a down fall
I'm restructurin' walls
Interruptin' your calls
And goin' straight to the source
With this nut in my balls
Every time the blind lead the blind
Another one of my kind's outta sight and outta mind
I'm comin' through the press
With this sense you can't mess
I'm sittin' in your dreams
Go ahead take a rest
I'm poppin off your nigga's chest
Should I be in distress?
I'm niggas poppin' on the scene
And they can get these
That's my bitch
I'm his bitch
What the hell do they know?
Is that so?
This same day case scenario
And I could care less
About your people and their relentlessness
Towards the eye
Say goodbye

And tell his moms to stop cryin'
Go tell his moms to stop cryin'
His moms to stop cryin'
Go tell his moms to stop cryin'

My secret enemy
You ain't no friend to me
My secret enemy
You ain't no friend to me
My secret enemy
You ain't no friend to me
My secret enemy
