The First Enemy(A moderate Afrobeat/Highlife groove at about 95–105 BPM with a memorable call-and-response chorus would make this song especially easy to record and perform live.)
Verse 1
The first enemy of your life is your mouth,
Be careful with the words coming out.
Every promise, every curse you say,
Can build tomorrow or steal today.
Pre-Chorus
Think before you speak,
Let your words bring peace.
Life and death are in your tongue,
Choose the words that make you strong.
Chorus
The first enemy of your life is your mouth,
Don't let careless words pull you down.
Speak hope, speak faith, speak victory,
Your tongue can shape your destiny.
Guard your mouth every day,
Let wisdom lead the way.
Verse 2
Don't say, "I can't," when you can still try.
Don't bury your dreams before they fly.
Speak with courage, speak with grace,
Every good word has its place.
Bridge
Close the door to fear and doubt,
Let every negative word come out no more.
Fill your heart with truth and light,
Speak your future bold and bright.
Final Chorus
The first enemy of your life is your mouth,
So let every word be filled with love.
Speak blessings over all you do,
The future begins with the words from you.
Guard your mouth every day,
And watch your life change.
