enemies lurking

Enemies lurk in the shadows, plotting my demise, With every step I take, I can see through their lies, Heart heavy like the weight of the world on my chest, Trust broken like the promises that never manifest. I rise from the ashes, a phoenix in the night, Fighting demons in my mind, gotta keep up the fight, They smile in my face, but I know what they hide, With envy in their hearts, they can’t stand my pride. Grew up in the struggle, learned to hustle for mine, Each scar on my soul is a story, a sign, Enemies whisper, but my vision stays clear, I’m the voice of the streets, they gon' tremble in fear. From the block to the booth, I’m spitting raw truth, Every bar like a bullet, got the proof in my youth, A soldier in this game, I won’t fall for the bait, Enemies keep scheming, but they seal their own fate.
