Strangers

I'm still holdin' on to promises, I told myself runnin' low on faith
Stopped smoking 'cause my head wasn't the same
And my heart is in a heavy state, heavy place
Wouldn't be my mother's son if I wasn't great

Time tickin', pocket need filling
Grew a little distant, little bro got my inner child safe
Stumble in the rain, voice faded
My energy failing, Brandon told me, "Channel it and wait"

Wait, 'cause I've been lost for some days
I've been swinging, I've been caged in
Face looking thinner by the day's end
Question what I'm chasing
Feeling low, then, feel amazing

Wait
Granny Jean say you chase it
Life doesn't stay, so why you tryna keep it waiting all day?
This man are two faced like pennies all day
Now, they're saying that I changed

Tell the truth, I'm disarrayed
Living a melancholy phase
They're throwing shade upon my name
'Cause when your future's so bright, they can't face it

And if you look me in my face, it's more blatant
The weather changed
I didn't go, I stayed and with-strained it
Flipping spirits in the minutes
And I'm still in the lab shaping

Envisioning a heaven, was a kid needing escaping
Growing pains, my bones aching
Some of us got lost along the way
And wandering the maze aimless
Making sure that we ain't nameless

Convince myself to pray, but I don't ever have the patience
And I'm more me than I've ever been
And I am what I was made in
And I still don't say shit
Unless it's me and you, but you and me are just strangers (strangers)

Oh yeah, I'd support you all the way, man (that's enough, man)
All the way, man
That's what I'd hope for you to be
Like, you know, up there, man (yeah)
That's the aim for me to see the vision
Is that your vision, though?

Wait
Wait 'til the day
At least the day's end
At least the day's end

Can't
Can't you just see
That we're just strangers?
That we're just strangers
