No Stranger lyrics
by Pensmoke the professional outcast

Intro sample:

("My anger outweighs my guilt.
You have learned to bury your guilt with anger. I will teach you to confront it, and to face the truth.
You know how to disappear. We can teach you to become truly invisible.
My anger outweighs my guilt.
Anger does not change the fact that your father failed to act")


I'm fighting off rage, its a family tradition to engage in the use of your tongue as a blade
I struggle with it daily, I don't want to be a slave to emotions and this anger ain't the way I should behave
But for years I carried it and wore it like a badge on my chest, to show I was as bad as the rest
I recall gray skies walking to the flea market, seeing all day crime, I was there when it started
But never got involved, wasn't trying to be a target, didn't even have a car or a place I could park it
But didn't even care because the city was a wasteland, peoples mindstates in the gutter and the wastecan
It wasn't myspace man, or facebook you had to face crooks or leave the place shook
So what I did was reject all of society, they saw the look on my face so they wasn't trying me
I still feel the urge sometimes to escape to my mind, like socializing is a waste of time
There's no way 90% of these people that's calling good evil could view me as an equal
They wasn't down then and won't be here for the sequel, I'm invisible socially no clan and no people
But look, if you understand how weird I am you might fear the man until I clearly can....
clarify with me how the mold was broke, then told to smoke microphones with hope
I'm so many things that seemingly dont match, if you look with the average eye you won't catch
Christian/mixed blood Indian/emcee, came out of Memphis but dope didn't tempt me
I'd seen it leave family and friends' lives empty, never was a pimp in a city where pimps be...
unfriendly in return to the cliques that I didn't fit with all full of nitwits
I'm not trying to be cruel when I spit this but I cant stand idle chatter so get this:
These times are serious, don't think its a good call to come to me trying to talk about some football
I've been allowed to know things that weigh heavy on my mind and my heart, most of yall ain't ready
Because I see the war coming, knowing who The Victor is, and I know what the meaning within the Scripture is
My whole delivery might come across vicious but I'm relentless, I know what I witnessed
I'm no stranger to being called a hypocrite, they won't hear the message because I deliver it
It wasn't deliberate, I'm flawed just the same as you I fall down and get back up that's the way we do
Break free from what the world's been training you, Im gonna let Luke 17:3 explain to you
