Strangers - Kenn Starr

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
