[Hook: B.Reith]
Don't misunderstand, we are only strangers
Don't misunderstand, we are only strangers
Don't misunderstand
[Verse 1: Dre Murray]
They say I'm from the city where there's purple in the Sprite
Trunk waving, smoke rising, while I'm idle at the light
Pitch black on the feet and candy paint looking bright
Got them thangs poking out, got them shoes looking right
Texas plate on the back, got the sticker on the dash
Console full of dro, got a pocket full of cash
Ha, that's when I laugh, yeah, if you only knew the half
Nah I ain't from here
I mean who in they right mind would come here?
But I was sent by the Son here, a lot of work to be done here
And I ain't leaving ‘til I'm finished but this life's like a vapor
It'll feel like a minute so I make sure that I spend it
Like I borrowed from the bank, get us ten here's rent and
[Hook: B.Reith]
Don't misunderstand, we are only strangers
Don't misunderstand, we are only strangers
Don't misunderstand
[Verse 2: A-FLO]
I was born by the Madison Square Garden of Eden
Cutting off the Big Apple that's oh so deceiving
They say this the land of the free and home of the brave
I say that it's the land of the fakes and home of the slaves
With venom under our lips, life and d**h on our tongues
A grave in our throat, the speech has just begun
We fight for our right and ignite a fire shining so bright
With Christ's light bringing life to things that really bite
This is some poetic bliss, I'm saying
I am the mix of Edgar Allen Poe and Ray Lewis ‘cause I'm the raven
With a bird's eye view, I'm looking real in the face
And it really doesn't look like you
I'm really sick of hearing these lies
Throwing deuces to the fakes
Guess it looks like I won the Nobel Peace Prize
Jay set a pavement, on the solid rock I stand
My heart focused on the Lion and the Lamb
[Hook: B.Reith]
Don't misunderstand, we are only strangers
Don't misunderstand, we are only strangers
Don't misunderstand
[Verse 3: Dre Murray]
I don't love it here, I swear I don't love it here
But yet still, I lie, lust, and covet here
Try to remind myself that this ain't home
But it's hard when they treat me like one of they own
This world here is the one that he on
The prince of this world sitting high on his throne
His pawns look at me like, what is he on?
He won't bow down, become one of his clones
I'm like, nah I'm good, you wish I would
Sell my birthright for some soup, I could
But I won't, I ain't, it look good but I can't
Fall into a pool of that nonsense
It's more than a conscience, it's more like a spirit
I pray you hear it when I put my whole heart in a verse
It's more than lyrics
I'm just showing my hand
No room for you to misunderstand
[Outro: B.Reith]
Don't misunderstand, we are only strangers
Don't misunderstand, we are only strangers
Don't misunderstand
Don't misunderstand, we are only strangers
Don't misunderstand
