[Intro]
I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
[Verse 1]
Treat me like you never even met me, never heard my name
Never heard me spit steel like bars through pain
Never seen me at one scene opposing one frame
Never seen me do a show for the kids for no gain
Let's pretend you never hopped on a forum in disdain
Put the knife in my chest and jab 'til I was slain
Never once looked at my art and instantly found blame
Oh I get it, you're a stranger now; it's so plain
[Hook 1]
And I love it that way
Yeah, that's how it should stay
But that's the price that I pay
When a product can change an enemies prey
Head bowed to they master; they lie where they lay
Only in it for the change; so your enemies prey
All 'e' no 'a'
They smile and they wave; have a nice day
[Verse 2]
So what I'm supposed to do?
Got to grind for the king 'til it's over dude
Got a million and one flows in my overview
I got an album on the way, it's overdue
When they holding you accountable
For the right thing, then the writing
Has to be on point with the light thing, plus something they liking
So, I'm in the booth; I got a book of truth
And these memories in my head
Yeah, I'm working all night; I can't leave my faith dead
On this Earth without a body to move through
These songs and these visuals, I hope that they moved you
Backed by this life that I'm living, you ain't seeing
Just pray the Dre you hearing's the same Dre that I'm being
When everybody's logged on and 22's offline
Just know I'm taking some time; just pray that I'm doing fine
[Hook 2]
I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
Treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
Treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
[Verse 3]
They never heard Manumit
Never heard Hell's Paradise I or II
Never read a review
Never noticed I was coming from a different point of view
But had the world check my brain, they didn't find one screw
Okay, now I get it
As long as I point 'em to God, you ain't with it
As long as me and Wit connect, you don't feel it
I can think it and write it as long as I don't spit it
[Hook 1]
[Outro]
But you didn't have to cut me off
But you didn't have to cut me off
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
