Stranger Things - Lloyd Banks

You lift me up to shoot me down

It looks painful for you to smile

I feel a space between your hug

I hate the way you show me love

You ain’t the same as when you came

We’ll probably never be the same

Leave it to you, I get the blame

I guess that I’m the one that changed, quite strange

If I ain’t there to have your back I’m either dead or I’m sick

When you’re fucked up, behavior turns irregular quick

Sometimes the pressure overwhelms when you’re the head of the clique

But don’t get ahead of yourself, I ain’t benefit shit

Nobody sees your vision until you’re successful

To become a success will validate that you are special

There ain’t a pain reliever strong enough, life is stressful

Learn to put your faith in God, that’s who gon' protect you

Don’t ever bite the hand that feeds you, that’s disrespectful

But if what’s in the hand deceives you, now you’re regretful

I brought integrity though every area the jet flew

It’s like I see a stranger, nothing like when I met you

At this point I don’t care to keep a friend again

When you get on to checking in that ain’t genuine

Changed my whole perception now that I’m rememberin'

Got a big safe of favors that I’ll never lend

Nothing’s forever

You lift me up to shoot me down

It looks painful for you to smile

I feel a space between your hug

I hate the way you show me love

You ain’t the same as when you came

We’ll probably never be the same

Leave it to you, I get the blame

I guess that I’m the one that changed, quite strange

Your favorite’s nowhere near me when I’m dedicated

Always humble, usually disciplined and never hated

Call me quiet, call me lazy, talent never faded

It’s frustrating when your grindin' ain’t appreciated

Should have been dead in my 20's, shit at least I made it

Guess I gotta prove myself again, increase your payment

Get shits together then the devil comes to rearrange it

The lord blessed me with a shorty I could leave my name with

Fuck all the complainin' 'cause I’ma see the top again

Sunshine or rain, don’t matter when you 'bout to win

Question how I’m livin', lucky you get oxygen

Play around the clib, AK will chop you in

Hoping for good, can’t help but notice the stranger things

Fuck looking for love, what about the pain it brings?

Claiming you’re a angel, they gon' have to take your wings

But where you wind up, while I accept the climb up and everything it brings

You lift me up to shoot me down

It looks painful for you to smile

I feel a space between your hug

I hate the way you show me love

You ain’t the same as when you came

We’ll probably never be the same

Leave it to you, I get the blame

I guess that I’m the one that changed, quite strange
