My Own Worst Enemy by Jin

My 2nd entry for the day... 

Since I've posted one of Jin's awesome Holy Spirit inspired work... let me just show you another... it's so awesome... God is using this man.... He's such an inspiration...


Sometimes, I really thank God for Jin. Hee... and his salvation (rededication) really came at such an appointed time that a year after I became a Christian and started being convicted about quitting those sexually immoral and prideful rap songs....

God brought forth so many more anointed rappers into my life..
Coffey... Jin... and the list goes yeah?


God is awesome!


Well, enjoy another reflective rap from my all time favourite rapper - Jin!





Lyrics:
I know Im far from perfect and I dont ever pretend be
when I am gone I wonder how you will remember me
the only thing that youll have left of is a memory
dont have a lot of friends and Im my own enemy
(yes I am) my own worst enemy
(I can be) my own worst enemy
(and I know) my own worst enemy
(yes I am) my own worst enemy

when I look inside the mirror who do I see
trapped individual tryin to be free
that would be that would be that would be be me
but my worst enemy he eventually
jumps out I dump out ready to run
under the sun thinkin to myself is there anyone
out there who understands my pain and terror
Im tired of livin life by trial and error
mascara couldnt make up things that went wrong
so I sat down with a beat and came up with this song
all night long I stayed up this beat isnt made up
this is actual fact this is actual rap
who can I blame who can I blame
blame it on the wealth blame it on the money
the power I blame it on myself
I didnt write down not a single word of this
but my worst enemy yeah I know he heard of this

I know Im far from perfect and I dont ever pretend be
when I am gone I wonder how you will remember me
the only thing that youll have left of is a memory
dont have a lot of friends and Im my own enemy
(yes I am) my own worst enemy
(I can be) my own worst enemy
(and I know) my own worst enemy
(yes I am) my own worst enemy

I wanna have a big house a big bank a million bucks
whos stoppin me whos stoppin me
I wanna be on top of the world somewhere nobody
can touch
whos stoppin me whos stoppin me
theres only one person and that person is actually
quite near
from where Im standing that person is right here
next to me who could it be
the one with all the power
the truth can eat you up I feel like Im being devoured
a coward is someone who doesnt stand up
for whats right
thats why you barely see me sittin when Im jammin
on the mic
I practice what I preach and what I preach is all I know
so all I need to know now is which way do I go
to the right to the left either way Im out of breath
so I need to take a break please tell the ref
as far as I go Im the first to sympathize
but at the same time Im the first to criticize

I know Im far from perfect and I dont ever pretend be
when I am gone I wonder how you will remember me
the only thing that youll have left of is a memory
dont have a lot of friends and Im my own enemy
(yes I am) my own worst enemy
(I can be) my own worst enemy
(and I know) my own worst enemy
(yes I am) my own worst enemy
