Stranger (feat. Saukrates)

[Verse 1]
It feels like we've been holding on the phone for uh-
Twenty minutes
Tryna' order that good food like bitch lemmie get it
'Cause whether it's Halal or Vegan or Kosher
It's the culture
Gettin' familiar
Eyes of a stranger
Feeling more like a vulture
Itchin' to puncture my skin
My kin - thought I knew 'em well
Rockin' the same boat and still the two rebel
At best I score a nest on my chest
The whole metaphor is money madе made me metеoric
The talent recorded on records historic
I challenge my city to break bread move forward
And every pessimist got left out of the portrait
A great day in Harlem
Was before my time fast forward some time to feel up wit' 'cha[?]
Like someone see you doing well, anyway
I live for that feeling any and every day

[Chorus]
I would, I could, be gone, for good
I know love plus hate equals anger
Do the math please don't be a stranger
My life, my clock, keep rhyming, tick tock
I know love plus hate equals anger
I'm starin' in the eyes of a stranger (Yo)

[Verse 2]
Imagine looking in the mirror
It's looking back at you laughing while you be casually detecting your flaws
You're like a thief inside a temple but the temple is your's
A stranger to your chamber destined to fall
She told me that she feel it
"She don't even really know me"
Who taught me matrimony?
Was holy show me the one
I'm blocking every theological spell
When I'm walking I be cautious 'cause the block is where the warriors of the fatherless fell
We survived the middle passage
Young catch die for living lavish
The system designed us to be savage
Bullets keep sprayin'
Mother's praying to the step-father while the son is holy ghosting an' froze 'em[?]
We came from cream of the planet
Brother killing brothers
Babies are bleeding
Younger demons marry heathens and fiends[?]
Now how act is strange the world it's like we're trapped insane
I'm about to break the mental shackles and chains

[Chorus]
I would, I could, be gone, for good
I know love plus hate equals anger
Do the math please don't be a stranger
My life, my clock, keep rhyming, tick tock
I know love plus hate equals anger
I'm starin' in the eyes of a stranger (Yo)
I would, I could, be gone, for good
I know love plus hate equals anger
Do the math please don't be a stranger
My life, my clock, keep rhyming, tick tock
I know love plus hate equals anger
I'm starin' in the eyes of a stranger (Yo)
