Ralph Martinez - Stranger to Myself lyrics

[Hook] It's been too long I can't control Myself by lie I'll never find my peace Guilt-ridden I cannot deny Who wants to live like this? [Verse 1] I feel like I'm so close, but so far They don't want us to know, but we've already seen it all Getting' tempted by all these women like Nicki Minaj They got us dancin' with the Devil in the city of God Times are gettin' hard we livin' in paranoia But I'm rolling with the punches like Oscar De La Hoya Undefeated like Floyd, that's word to J Terra I promise you I'm ready for whatever may weather Through the rain or the shine, to obtain what is mine I'm trying to escape from all the pain in my mind I'm numb to the world, but still I must grind Cause' opportunity can knock at any given time Just close your eyes, picture where I'm coming from Cause' to be old and wise, you gotta' young and dumb We livin' in troubled times ain't no tellin' what'll come It's a cold world even when the summer comes [Hook] It's been too long I can't control Myself by lie I'll never find my peace Guilt-ridden I cannot deny Who wants to live like this? [Verse 2] I got no love for these girls, no love for these n***as No love for the world, throwin' up the middle finger To anybody that's walking over me, I wish you would try It's such a shame they done changed up the good guy Now I'm tin man, heartless, lost in the darkness Proceed with caution, I lost it I done seen some sh** in this world that made me nauseous n***as hittin' they women and biches havin' abortions, uh When will it ever change, this never ending pain Will we be different from our fathers or end up the same I'm tryina' tell you my story my n***a, f** the game I'm making my way up the ladder climbing up to fame They say I'll be great, guess we gon' have to wait and see I come from a place where even police be afraid to be n***as be loaded with full clips, no AMC No room for the bullsh**, No Vacancy [Hook] It's been too long I can't control Myself by lie I'll never find my peace Guilt-ridden I cannot deny Who wants to live like this? [Verse 3] Let's have a toast to real n***as tryina' get a deal To provide the income for their family's next meal And the girl who's full of knowledge that got accepted to college But she barely can afford it so she strips to pay the bills You think everything is fine, you don't even know This world is full of lies that's why I'm leaving a note To these internet thugs tryina' get the game shook Step in my space, and you'll get your get your face booked When I'm zone the world moves in slow motion No jokin', I'm so focused, wanna know why? Cause the sh** that comes up outta my mind is potent These just might be the realist words I've ever spoke In this world full of fakers, it's hard to be legit But I'm living I'm famous and I'm far from being rich Now they tellin' me I'm the one, but that's no surprise Cause' I've already seen it all when I close my eyes Feel the pain, we been livin' a lie They say everything can change in the blink of an eye Well I'm flyer than a plane, I should live in the sky But the only thing I'm racing is time, I'll be fine [Hook] It's been too long I can't control Myself by lie I'll never find my peace Guilt-ridden I cannot deny Who wants to live like this?
