My Best Enemy: A Rap-Folk Ballad of Backstabbing Besties

Unleash the fury of a friendship turned toxic in "My Best Enemy," a searing Rap-Folk anthem that lays bare the sting of betrayal.

Deception lurks beneath the surface: This ain't your average heartbreak song. It's a raw exposé of a trusted friend who turned foe, their duplicity disguised by a charming facade.

Verses that sting like a scorpion's tail: The lyrics paint a vivid picture of naive trust shattered, poetic verses laced with the grit of Rap's rhythmic flow. ️

Chorus that explodes like a Molotov cocktail: The betrayal boils over in the chorus, a catchy chant fueled by anger and disillusionment. It's an anthem for anyone who's ever been burned by a supposed friend. ✊

More than just a song, it's a story: The "Live Studio Session" details give it authenticity, inviting listeners into the raw creation process.

With its potent lyrics, catchy chorus, and raw energy, "My Best Enemy" is more than just a song - it's a battle cry for the betrayed.

My Best Enemy (Live Studio Session)

Once again, I've been fooled, a newborn in your game,
Thought you were a friend, but it's just a name.
I extended my hand, believed in your guise,
But your words stabbed my back, a cruel surprise.

Again I feel the sting, the betrayal so raw,
Fooled like a child, can't believe what I saw.
Thought you were good, but it was all a lie,
Your words, like a knife, made trust die.

(Chorus) Betrayal, you wear it like a second skin,
Hypocrisy, your smile, a deadly sin.
I was wrong, oh so wrong, my dear old friend,
Turns out you're my best enemy in the end.

in the end.
in the end.
My best enemy

in the end.
in the end.
My best enemy

in the end.
in the end.
My best enemy

in the end.
in the end.
My best enemy.

Unthinking

“You endure what is unbearable, and you bear it. That is all.”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess

“Cancer is a word, not a sentence.”
― John Diamond: Journalist and commentator

A song inspired by a phrase that popped out of my oldest granddaughter's mouth, and which subsequently became the title; and by the recent death of an old school friend. He is the first of that particular group of friends to pass away, which no doubt forces those friends still alive to face up to their own mortality. This is my response . . .

Lyrics:
I hear her weeping when she thinks that I am fast asleep
That’s when I know she’s hurting, although it’s hidden deep
In some ways I’m better off than her as drugs, drugs can mask my pain
You see, I’m like a long-running TV show they won’t renew again
I heard somewhere there’s many ways to live within a tragedy
I’m praying to whatever god there is, it’s not some fallacy

I’ve never been called sexy, no one’s ever said I’m cool
I’ve always been the shortest; to be accepted, sometimes I’d play the fool
I remember us lads, drinking pint after pint, way back, way back in our youthful days
I love to reminisce with you and laugh at our wild & drunken ways
The wife is calling out to me that I should really, really try to eat
I swallow some, but all I taste is metal … and defeat

It’s been so long since we spoke to each other, I wish, I wish that I could stay
I’d love to reminisce with you & laugh at those crazy, long-gone days
But I can barely speak right now, I’m bombed out up to the eyes
So, phone me back tomorrow, just hope I’m still alive!

The Taste of Metal & Defeat

Run To The Moon

This one is for George...
Iron Cowboy by songwriter Edwin H. Balder
Dad was a cowboy, worked the land
But life don’t always go as planned
When he met Mom, he made a call
Traded horses for iron tall
Got a job down at the mill
Fixing things, keeping still
But talent ain’t meant to stay low
So he climbed where the wind would blow
Steel and sky, boots and grit
Hands that never learned to quit
High above the world so wide
Walking by feel, setting pride
Iron cowboy, riding high
Built this land, framed the sky
Union strong, roots run deep
Family bound by work we keep
Iron cowboy, never swayed
Kept his boots, but steel he laid
Ropes and saddles traded fine
For beams that reach this counties skyline
Some still say he should’ve stayed
Worked the ranch, held the reins
But his call was iron and steel
Bigger than the dirt fields
Taught his kids what labor means
What sweat can do, what teamwork brings
Said unions make a country stand
One strong voice, one strong hand
Iron cowboy, riding high
Built this land, framed the sky
Union strong, roots run deep
Family bound by work we keep
Iron cowboy, never swayed
Kept his boots, but steel he laid
Ropes and saddles traded fine
For beams that reach this counties skyline
Now the skyline shows his fight
Steel and glass, shining bright
One man’s work, one man’s trade
A cowboy’s heart in steel displayed
Still wears his hat, still holds his ground
Still speaks strong, never backs down
Union-built, cowboy-tied
A legacy that won’t subside
Iron cowboy, riding high
Built this land, framed the sky
Ropes and saddles traded fine
For beams that reach..... this..... counties..... skyline

Lyrics - Like You Do

Lyrics by Jaime 

[Verse]
Have my heart, I’d give it twice
For you, for you, for you
Think of me late in the night
And all the things we’d do
[Pre Chorus]
Lay me back and take it all
Don’t hold back one bit
Break my heart or break my fall
We could turn and twist
[Chorus]
Bittersweet love in my veins
All I want is you
I would give up all my days
Nothing left to lose
Pull me closer
Baby please
Got me beggin’
On my knees
One more night is all I crave
Love me like you do
[Drop]
Oooo
Oooo
Ohhh
Oh
Oooo
Oooo
Ohhh
Oh
[Verse]
Take my hand and take me far
We’ll leave the rest behind
Heal my hurt babe heal these scars
And say that you’ll be mine
[Pre Chorus]
Lay me back and take it all
Don’t hold back one bit
Break my heart or break my fall
[Chorus]
Bittersweet love in my veins
All I want is you
I would give up all my days
Nothing left to lose
Pull me closer
Baby please
Got me beggin’
On my knees
One more night is all I crave
Love me like you do
[Drop]
Oooo
Oooo
Ohhh
Oh
Oooo
Oooo
Ohhh
