Stro, Skyzoo - Stranger lyrics

I'm a stranger in my own world
Darkness came down and took over

‘Cause from the outside
The game looks lovely
The women, the money, the cars
All this because of some bars?
Tours everywhere, it’s a miracle
Lyrical skills pay the bills
Senseless chicks let you get some feels
Got your momma proud
Let her see you rocking the crowds
After the standing ovations, you take a bow
You got it all now, people around you hyping
The only thing missing is excitement, damn
All that anticipation for the call
But, you could've waited private planes
You feeling lost on them trips to Vegas
In hotel rooms, momma dying like beans for
Some sugar from you
But, you got an album to sell soon
Your stress at an all-time high
No insulin still
You gotta pay your career that
You've been living with
Envisioned it when you was living
With rats and roaches
Now you got it but don’t
Know how to approach it
Associates is only around for good moments
The checks in
They bring yes men and you know it
Wanted to get behind the curtains
They finally let you go
Only for you to realize the
Show is just a show
And everything's set up by the stage guys
When the executioner arrive, they apologize
Boos and boos, what happened
You mastered in rapping
This supposed to be your thing
You were supposed to be the king
You did it on the corner with your homies
It was natural
Should've took the weight off your shoulder
But it’s a sad show all you got is talent
Thought spitting real made you a star
But ain't prepared for the extra molecular
The love is dead, son, you got sixteens
Depended on the pen and the paper
To get you the cream
Wanted to shine through your lines
But the business is danger
And in today’s game
The real MC is just a stranger

‘Cause all I really need is the microphone
And a dope beat, but, will that get me home?
(a yo) i don’t know man, I don’t know man
I don’t know man i don’t know, I don’t know
‘Cause all I really know is the microphone
And the real beats, but
Will that get me known? (a yo)
I don’t know man, I don’t know man
I don’t know man i don’t know, I don’t know

Enough time in the ring to know you
Bring more than they ever brought
So all of them better sing you praises when
Your flag get to waving in the wind
Standing tall for it all and
Know that you've never been
Dreams and ambitions and keeping
Your hands in it
And how you say what you say but
It seems they can’t get it
Nice enough to be crowned as corner king
Living for the pen like all you
Know is you want a ring
And then it all comes down
From afar and everything
That you saw is nothing like what you thought
Truly yours, this whole shit’s a facade, they
Go and send you their odds
Hope that it evens out
And if not, then pick a card, any card
With the lights and the fame
That you might've saw you knew
The dictators know nothing about
What our corners do try to win by any means
At any cost, I promise
You see a scene and you
Won’t fiend this any more not at all

‘Cause all I really need is the microphone
And a dope beat, but, will that get me home?
(a yo) i don’t know man, I don’t know man
I don’t know man i don’t know, I don’t know
‘Cause all I really know is the microphone
And the real beats, but
Will that get me known? (a yo)
I don’t know man, I don’t know man
I don’t know man i don’t know, I don’t know
