Enemy - Skip Marley

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

Oh Why?

Why dem try fi put me down?

Oh Lord, why dem try fi take the crown, my crown

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?

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

Oh Why?

Why dem try fi put me down?

Oh Lord, why dem try fi take the crown, my crown

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?

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

Oh Why?

Why dem try fi put me down?

Oh Lord, why dem try fi take the crown, my crown
