Sheda B - Hello Stranger lyrics

Verse 1: It's been a long journey And I don't feel no ways tired And so there's nothing that can turn me Back around, I've been smacked around But the pain has propelled me and that's the crown Once bound by the shackles the world provides ya I try to prosper as a fatherless father I was raised on the streets of North Philly It costed me my childhood and tortured me Witnessing many homicides I tried to Keep it together ‘cause mom was high, I got a Secret to whether the crime inside And it's called the future so I'ma strive I feel like the savior that came with atonement To find most men only live for the moment Moses was an honest man Who never got to live in the promised land And if he did he'd say Chorus: (Sheda B) Hello stranger Hello stranger Hello stranger Hello stranger Feels so good to see you (O'hene) To see you back again, ah huh To see you back again, ya know? (Sheda B) Feels so good to see you (O'hene) To see you back again, ya know? To see you back again, yeah Verse 2: This is for the prostitutes And the brothers on the corner Hustling so they can buy a coupe I just wanna let you know there's a better way And I ain't telling you you gotta bow your head and pray I know you sick of the sermons, figure the church And they service ain't serving the purpose of working I'm here to tell you your history so when I leave If nothing you've gotten this from me We the descendants of slaves brought to America Ever since then you were taught you inferior They renamed you and trained you to be who They wanted you to be and claimed you were evil And you believe what they teach you They interpretation of God won't accept you as equals You better seek who's inside you today And when you find Him, heaven inside you to say Chorus: (Sheda B) Hello stranger Hello stranger Hello stranger Hello stranger Feels so good to see you (O'hene) To see you back again, ah huh To see you back again, ya know? (Sheda B) Feels so good to see you (O'hene) To see you back again, ya know? To see you back again, yeah Verse 3: Our ladies need the elegance of elephants And shouldn't have to apologize for they intelligence Ain't a thing wrong with being celibate Despite those Jezebels you see on television ‘cause it ain't really our views at all and Some of that rap ain't our music y'all That's the product of those who rule with cynicism In a system that prove to benefit ‘em We only rewarded for selling our souls But I chose the gospel over the pop though And I notice the lesser walked path Also only what you do for Christ is gon' last Go on laugh if you find this humorous Soon as the song ends tell your friends it's ludicrous But music is supposed to show the way And it will one day, when it does I'ma say Chorus: (Sheda B) Hello stranger Hello stranger Hello stranger Hello stranger Feels so good to see you (O'hene) To see you back again, ah huh To see you back again, ya know? (Sheda B) Feels so good to see you (O'hene) To see you back again, ya know? To see you back
