Enemy of the State Lyrics

[C-Bo]
Yea let's get this money though my nigga
Ahh man fucking on us man fucking on us
Man I'm not going back to prison nigga
I already got two strikes nigga turn the music down nigga
Fo' real nigga I ain't going back fuck that
(Just take a ticket my nigga you ain't do nuthin)
The fuck is you doing Man fuck it I'm telling you nigga
Don't tripIt's gonna be all good man
It's gonna be all good hey

[C-Bo]
Can't turn my back cuz they'll attack (what)
I know sky is the limit
But this world is full of envy hold me back
I've been done it
Shit what you thought? C-Bo wasn't down?
It's just hella hard to get up when they hold you to the ground
I spit the real and they can't take it so they gave me a case
I got skills but I can't make it, be an Enemy of the State
I close my eyes and pray to GOD
I guess this was meant for me
Just like 'Pac "Against the World" but it's the world against me
Scared to see me in my jew-els flossin a whip
Tossing your bitch, you slip we hit now tossing ya clips
Bossing and shit, pigs think I'm bubbling cavi
Cause if the cold world air maxs
All the dubs on my navi
Holla at me shit, Feds wanna see me in action
Heard they mad cuz what they make in a year, I pay in taxes
I'mma ball like the Jackson's and I won't stop till my casket
Or I'll murda them bastards
[Skit]
Sacramento rap artist C-Bo faces crimial charges in the state of Ohio
Local police cease two firearms and one pound of marajuana
Apprehended by four US marshalls by the state of Washington

[C-Bo]
They thought it was over but it just started
And some of the hardest artists in the world
Gonna bow down til we death departed
Freedom of speach got me preaching to every G on the street
We gotta eat so fuck the P.D. three striking me
Not liking me want to strike me like Rodney King
But I'm a home run hitter so I swing batter batter swing
Got to scheme to get away, and I'ma scream yes yes y'all
As I put the beam to his fuckin face
Now my new case is a murda
As I birth this flame without the HK
Hit the gas and get further
I'm a killa like Manson
Like the nigga from South Central that hit the white boy in the head wit a brick and started dancin
Fuck parole and Pete Wilson I'm so fresh out the pen ho holdin heat
Like Billy the Kid quick to split a nigga's wig
I'm the type of nigga pop you out till you lend me a cape
Til I die, worldwide an Enemy Of The State

[Skit]
Rap star C-Bo; since his debut on 2Pac "All Eyez on Me"
Seemed to be drifting down the same road as Shakur was
With authorities C-Bo's albums sales heat up after rapper's parole arrest
Thomas was acquitted for 4 years in Soledad prison of the illegal use of firearm
He could be sent back to prison for a year if the board of prisons
Determine that the lyrics on the album promoted a gang related lifestyle
[C-Bo]
I'll bring it to them how they want it
There's only one way to do it
Bring it to them how they knew it
On they death bed put by fluid
Put a slug in his cranium
Catch'em close range and I'm flaming them
I'm the West Coast don loc fresh out of prison and smoke
Any nigga that set trip gotta be stir crazy wit a death wish
Better check my backround
I crack crowns I never back down
You want some ruff shit tuff shit you get dust quick
See me in traffic grab your automatic and bust bitch
You violated my freedom
Only playback is eat'em
Like Dahmer but I bomb'em with teflon when I'm on em
Fuck parole fuck prison fuck those that don't want to listen
I'm sick and I can taste your ??? for Thanksgiving
I've done killed and dumped bodies in ditches
And still kept a smile on my face
Hittin' switches with bad bitches
I'm a menace muthafucka you ain't heard?
Fuck it, Enemy of the State's my last word

[Skit]
Hi I'm Jon Norris with MTV news this hour on music biz
Racism and online hate speech - but first, albums have been stickered and banned
And in the past Luther Campbell of 2 Live Crew was arrested
For a night because of an onstage performance;
But on Tuesday we believe for the first time a recording artist has been
Jailed for the lyrics on his record
He is Sacramento based rapper C-Bo given the name Shawn Thomas
According to the California State Department of Corrections
The new C-bo album "Till My Casket Drops" has lyrics that do just that plus
This one your about to hear

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
