INTRO:

Everybody’s got a story, do you see it?

Believe it?

As we all grow O-L-D

Here’s a question for you and me

From dust to dust when my story’s told

As the tulips bloom and my body’s cold

The question is when it’s time to go

Will you be proud of yours when the credits roll?

VERSE 1:

I’ve been waitin’ on this for so long

Finally blowin’ up like a tickin’ time bomb

Body every single track that I rhyme on

I wonder what my legacy will be when I’m gone?

Graduated high school, thought I fucked up

Was never good enough no matter how I measured up

Worked a 9-5, tryna make a couple bucks

Learned to let go and gave God my trust

Couldn’t picture this life, nowadays feels crazy

Seein’ my peers, gettin’ married, havin’ babies

Will I make it big someday? well maybe

Only got one life I can’t be lazy

‘Flectin’ on my death, what a beautiful service

Thinkin’ ‘bout my last breath, was it all worth it?

Plannin’ on next week, tomorrow’s not certain

Prayin’ everyday to the Lord, your servant

100 bars a day, I’ve been uppin’ my average

Strangers in the dark, I know this shit classic

I wrote this album for when times get tragic

Your story ain’t over right now, it’s a chapter

Everyone’s blessed, if you search you’ll find ‘em

Everyone’s hurt in the nighttime cryin’

Shit’ll get better but it just takes timin’

You gotta goin’, you gotta keep climbin’

We’re not so different inside if we’re honest

Everyone’s human, that I can promise

Still we throw stones, fight wars, drop bombs

Focused on the wrong thing, quest for the commas yeah

So Grammys, plaques, I promise you can keep ‘em

If I ain’t make’ a difference I’m rappin’ for no reason

Went down to Georgia, found out why I’m breathin’

I pray you’ll say the same ‘fore your heart quits beatin’

VERSE 2:

Ain’t it funny how life works?

All the pain and the pills while the bills stack up

Always searchin’ for a high when the times get tough

Deep down I got a feeling it’ll all work out

Real people, passin’ us by

Numb to the world, don’t look in their eyes

Maybe that’s the reason we so often divide

When this album’s done I hope I’ve shown you why

We’re all

Perfect strangers, perfect strangers

We’re all

Perfect strangers, perfect strangers

I know to live this life takes bravery

Don’t lose your dreams, they’re not make believe

We’re strangers in the dark, please pray for me

We’re strangers in the dark, would you care for me?

Nowadays people stuck on an island

Lost in the culture, divided by the climate

I’m tryna build bridges, make ‘em realize

Everybody’s got a story, let your light keep shinin'

HOOK:

I’m not goin’ home, home, home, oh no

Until the credits roll

Livin’ my life on the road

Prayin’ I’m touchin’ your soul

I’m not goin’ home, home, home, oh no

Until the credits roll

Livin’ my life on the road

Prayin’ I’m touchin’ your soul
