Enemy
T.H.U.G. (The House Of Urban Grooves) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(How do you think I feel?)
Caught me off guard, I was chasing a dream
Feeling like a God, like I'll die if I sleep
I could never fold, I was promised a fate
I'll be as your tongue, give me something to say
Tear into me now, I don't feel the defeat
My sickness had ruled me, my fortune erased
No one came before me, they grant me no grace
Don't refuse me now
(Tell me if you feel)
I can feel your skin
Nothing beneath it (how do you think I feel?)
Empty full of spite
Let impulse decide (how do you think I feel?)
Render my useless I'm sleepwalking
Hands do no good and you can't stop 'em
Don't recognize ones who'd die for me
I'll empathize if you stop talking
I remember when I saw the world so clear
Would give up anything if I could pause life there
I don't need a thing, don't need a voice on me
I just need this to stay, will you
(Tell me if you feel)
I can feel your skin
Nothing beneath it (how do you think I feel?)
Empty full of spite
Let impulse decide (how do you think I feel?)
Feel like you'll break me
Like you're replacing
Like you're awake in another reality (how do you think I feel?)
Go on and break me
You can't escape these
Moments alone 'cause you know I'm the enemy
You fell into me like a trap
I can't let you stay
I can't let you stay
Release yourself now
We won't make a sound
It's too much to undo
Refuse to consume you
Release yourself now
We won't make a sound
It's too much to undo
Refuse to consume you
(Tell me if you feel)
I can feel your skin
Nothing beneath it (how do you think I feel?)
Empty full of spite
Let impulse decide (how do you think I feel?)
Feel like you'll break me
Like you're replacing
Like you're awake in another reality (how do you think I feel?)
Go on and break me
You can't escape these
Moments alone 'cause you know I'm the enemy (how do you think I feel?)
In this song, Enemy, T.H.U.G. (The House of Urban Grooves) talks about resisting someone's domination and not blindly accepting their explanations. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not interested in keeping things simple just to please others but instead wants to experiment and be true to themselves. At the same time, they make it clear that they won't let go of things they loved before, which are not up for sale.
The lyrics emphasize the singer's need to separate themselves from the person they are singing about. They assert themselves, saying that they will never fail and continue to be a "perfect enemy" to this person. The song seems to be about standing up for oneself, taking control, and not letting others dictate one's life. It is a message about breaking free from toxic relationships and refusing to settle for anything less than one deserves.

Slim T's mindset is so far above & beyond rap that most ppl can't fathom it.He didn't just get this way. If you follow his body of work,you hear it in the words spoken.The level of success & thinking he's at now has been years in the making.God has been grooming you for this.A LOT more to come.
