Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes My Secret Enemy (T-Boz) Lyrics

[TLC]
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)

[Left Eye]
Now as I look at myself
I'm seein' someone familiar
Staring 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 you
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 its own
Rest a__ured it's my dome
Maybe I need to go to bed
Could have sworn I just heard that voice up in my head
Not while I rapping
When it hits me (::laughs::)
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 the day
But what can it be?
I can't recall the memories so if I may ask

[T-Boz] (Left Eye)
I just seen you yesterday
(It's my ... past)
I just seen you yesterday
(It's my ... past)
I just seen you yesterday
(It's my ... past)
I just seen you yesterday
(It's my ... past)
I just seen you yesterday
(It's my ... past)
I just seen you yesterday
(It's my ... past)
I just seen you yesterday
(It's my ... past)
I just seen you yesterday

[Left Eye]
By any means was all it ever seemed to be
This reminiscing with my past
Has got me caught up in a daydream
Stay in bed, with n____s who can pay the 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 being abused
Place yourself in my shoes
My blessed look of innocence was never refused

[Left Eye] (T-Boz)
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
Ha, you already said hi)
Oh, so your the match that lights my fuse? (amused?)
Huh, I thought I left you on on that cruise (you lose it
Your man took my place when he 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

[Left Eye]
Gotta get away from the past
If I make it I just might last
Gotta get away from the past
Trynna escape it but its movin' too fast
[Repeat]

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 going straight to the source
With this nut in my b____
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 n____'s chest)
Should I be in distress?
(All n____s poppin' on the scene)
And they can get these
Thats my b____
I'm his b____
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
