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 death 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?
