Tool- Enigma

Description: "Tool" is a thought-provoking hip-hop record that challenges the culture of manipulation, blind loyalty, and being used to serve someone else's agenda. Through sharp lyricism and powerful imagery, Enigma exposes how individuals are often groomed, exploited, and discarded by people who benefit from controlling their decisions. Rather than glorifying violence or street validation, the song encourages listeners to reclaim their identity, think independently, and protect their purpose.

LYRICS:

Verse 1:

Here's a known jewel from the old school — don’t let ‘em stop your streak
or recruit a bold soul right into another flock of sheep.
Snakes plot beneath, exploit you till you're locked in beef
groomin’ young minds just to mold'em for the toxic streets.
Loyalty's weaponized, when power's in a reckless mind
motivate your steps, then lead you to the next decline.
Handshakes hollow- just rituals to test your spine
pledge “ride or die,” then dip once the pressure climb.
Explore guidance from a deeper source
purpose get diluted once you seek applause,
and lease your body to a weaker cause.
Goon, minion, muscle- gun for hire
aspire to be the one to fire,
just a pawn in chess games.
In a bluff disguise, a king must survive- you clash for position,
while they slide through the back with a master’s precision.
You take the hit- then fade off the board, in a slaughter path
used like ink in a war they won’t autograph.

Chorus:

You are no man's tool- You are your own weapon
don't devalue your essence to be somebody's fool
If they can shape your purpose, they can aim your fate.
so guard your mind — before they use it, then replace. (think before you move)

You are no man's tool- You are your own weapon
don't devalue your essence to be somebody's fool
If they can shape your purpose, they can aim your fate.
so guard your mind — before they use it, then replace.

Verse 2:

Disposable asset- that's not what you were bred to be
your legacy is bigger than street stripes and felonies.
Fighting in wars that ain't rooted in your own scars
you've strayed far from having aspirations,
now you flash for validation.
Taking your life back is pass debating
don't let ‘em write you out with a savage placement.
Indeed- you got a heart full of gold, but they mine it for leverage
as you evolve, they try to trap you in a cycle that's endless.
They never had a strategy- just static and vanity
crab-in-a-bucket mentality, masked as a family.
Feeding off your drive, but then they laugh at your clarity
rather see you crash than adapt to your sanity.
You're not a tool, you're the rifle and the scope combined
trigger with purpose- never let'em reload your mind.
Aim with intention- don't get sold by a soldier's shine
real strength's not shown in war, but who-we-protect over time.

Chorus:

You are no man's tool- You are your own weapon
don't devalue your essence to be somebody's fool
If they can shape your purpose, they can aim your fate.
so guard your mind — before they use it, then replace. (think before you move)

You are no man's tool- You are your own weapon
don't devalue your essence to be somebody's fool
If they can shape your purpose, they can aim your fate.
so guard your mind — before they use it, then replace.
