STRANGER

Believe me mother I am sorry. You know I never meant to do you any harm. Now I’m cold and I’m hungry. Won’t you lend your son the sleeve that’s on your arm. I’ve been hoping and praying you would only see, I’ve been standing in the rain waiting patiently. Some kinda sign, some kinda sign to come and save me.

Never thought I’d waste my time running in circles chasing lies. I promise I’ll make it right.

Way too high to be low and that’s all I know to say the least. We could probably give up it’s still not enough for stray sheep.

Here we stand with a fork in the road before us, going our separate ways. Don’t look back it’s a matter of precious time, we’ll out welcome our stay. So young and so wise we used to be. Now we’re older, don’t know nothing. Seems to me…

We’re way too high to be low, that’s all I know to say the least. The secret silence in love is still not enough to shake the beast.

Have you taken flight? Have you spread your wings? Is it late at night? Are you fast asleep? Are you cold as ice? Are you anything? I’m breaking the chain.

I’m skankin in the dark, don’t you have a heart, shed some light.
When, won’t you tell me when, we can all be friends and see each other
We’ll see eye to eye like the color don’t matter, the size of the paycheck the stature
In times like this only disaster can make a change
Some people will cry when it happens, deceive them and lie when it happens
But you’re still alive and you’re rappin the same way

Up in your castle everythings fine. You can buy the worries on your mind.
Hope its no hassle, let me advise, there’s a war outside.

I’m skankin in the dark, don’t you have a heart, shed some light.
When, won’t you tell me when we can all be friends and see.
I and I won’t fight no we won’t.
Don’t you have enough wrapped up in your clutch? Hell Yeah.
So much that you ought to know… so much that you ought to see but you
haven’t left your door.

Every day, another brother man falls victim to the system/ Every way we try to get through but they just won’t listen/ Can’t repay all the damage done, when the time comes there isn’t anything you can do or say. Quit trying to challenge our strength, before you fall down/ Quit trying to challenge our strength before you fall/ We got the power of the earth, numbers of a small town/ So quit trying to challenge Our Strength.
All over the world, patience and love/ Will start the fire so watch it as it grows/ All the weak will be stronger than negative control/ Every second, every hour, every minute, everyday/ We got the strength and hold the power/ You’ll never take, take that away.

How will there be dew in the morning? How will we ever feel light of day?
How will stars shine in the evening? When everything that we work for is taken away/ Everything that we love, take it away/ The power to think for our future, or take it away/ We have the power to think for our future, or take it away.
