Stranger

If you didn't know me
Would you think i was a stranger?
Could you love a stranger?
Did you know i was a stranger?
If you didn't know me
Would you think i was a stranger?
Could you love a stranger?
Did you know i was a stranger?

What if i called your phone
I said yo you said whats up
I said i don't know
But can you pray for me
What if i told you that hell got a spot and its hot and they savin' for me
What if i cant wait to sit there
Would you prefer it was heaven
And i'm saying i cant wait to get there
Do you need more than razors to split hairs
Do you know when i met you my lungs couldn't get air
Do you know that i really thought i couldn't get scared
What if we came at it honest and went there
I think it's coming like winter
What if you entered
I let you be all in
And then I got injured
What if love is a gamble and thats how its measured
What if we really believe that this pain could be pleasure
What if the rain could be cleansing
Could you love a stranger forever?

If you didn't know me
Would you think i was a stranger?
Could you love a stranger?
Did you know i was a stranger?
If you didn't know me,
Would you think i was a stranger?
Could you love a stranger?
Did you know i was a stranger?

I was alone at home
Called 911 and they picked up
And said "hello? 911 what's your emergency"
Hung up the receiver
Immediate, know that I made a mistake but i needed it
I see them coming like meteors (evening)
Momma gonna whoop me she see them there (not even if)
Daddy don't come home no shed a tear
Trina just made it here before the cavaliers
I guess i'm baby so mercy is in the air
Memory pane of the glass with the stain
At this angle it get unclear
I needed safety and baby my momma did too
I gotta recognize what we been through
She was bipolar and nobody knew
I was resentful had healing to do
Took me three decades of feeling confused
Like hittin' ikea and feeling the food
Trauma it did the arrangement
Detachment, addiction they handled libations
Emotions all gathered like strangers
In order to love myself I had to name em
(Who are you?)

If you didn't know me
Would you think i was a stranger?
Could you love a stranger?
Did you know i was a stranger?
If you didn't know me,
Would you think i was a stranger?
Could you love a stranger?
Did you know i was a stranger?
If you didn't know me,
Would you think i was a stranger?
Could you love a stranger?
Did you know i was a stranger?
