Strangers

Bumpin' Sean listening to «Pluck 'Em Off»
Devil over my shoulder I try to shrug him off
Chuggin' all brown liquor 'til each word in my speech slurred
I get down like I got a muthafuckin' prob
«What happened man? You never used to cuss at all»
Was walking a righteous path and suffered a sudden fall
Never liked to brag, now a brother self involved
Family and friends hit the cell, I won’t accept the call
'Cause I’m stressing hard don’t wanna be stressing y’all
So I withdraw like a debit or a credit card
Since I was eleven been eleven steps ahead of y’all
But real life ain’t got nothing to do with having better bars
Wishing I was better off, workin' on reversing it
The worst it get the more I start to feel I need a better job
Better benefits, chasing paper forever until
My cheddar is unlimited, you better live it limitless
Hook:
Contemplating more views I was cool with before
Tryna get it together but now I’m feeling off and uh
And love changes, people love change
Until they look in the mirror and see a stranger
Contemplating more views I was cool with before
Tryna get it together but now I’m feeling off and uh
And love changes, people love change
Until they look in the mirror and see a stranger
Doing my best impersonation of me in my prime
I see the design, complete with what I need to refine
The key to my developmental roadblock, hella simple won’t stop
Detrimental, never heeded the signs
Needed time now I need a rewind button, no such thing
Witnessing my ambitions diminishing to just dreams
Insignificant shit I used to lust and fiend for
Seem far from what I schemed from mama screen door
Innocence of youth combined with a creative mind
Eventually grew as I scribe into a page of rhymes
Found pride and my joy lettin' the ink drip
Seems if now it’s about avoiding a pink slip
See how the scene shift see how the theme switch
The fabric between reality and dreams rip
Back when my hair was knotty and my jeans ripped
I could never dream this, now I’m on my king shit
Hook:
Contemplating more views I was cool with before
Tryna get it together but now I’m feeling off and uh
And love changes, people love change
Until they look in the mirror and see a stranger
Contemplating more views I was cool with before
Tryna get it together but now I’m feeling off and uh
And love changes, people love change
Until they look in the mirror and see a stranger
