Stranger
M.A.X. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo, Shit deep, we the team to beat
Tryna make classics, Chuck Strangers
Yo, yo, that's the order
Fuck you need an update for?
Manifest the Rolex, I don't need a valor
Do I want the 6 or the 4?
Shit deep, we the team to beat
Bro that's out your league, ya hate to see
How you make a CD without see he?
It's all love bro I just felt bad
Feel the pain from another band gang strap
They wanna reach a demographic, I'm tryna make classics
And if i could make a dollar that's cool, ain't no rules
Every man to his own order
You came up for water for a quarter
You ain't around, imma spank your daughter
That's the order
I wipe my feet on the rhythm rug
Y'all needed a hug, soliciting drugs
But I settle for dollars
Won't do fuck my old school
I'm buying coastal eating tofu
9th grade I done told you
Got my money up and I showed you
What y'all album lacks is more Chuck Strangers
Shit deep, we the team to beat
Tryna make classics, yo, yo
That's the order, Chuck Strangers
Yo, Shit deep, we the team to beat
Tryna make classics, yo
More Chuck Strangers
Die for the paper
Work for minimum wager
Ain't working out in your favor
What I'm supposed to do?
Am I supposed to lose?
I guess y'all suppose but all my notes
Don't approve
The hip hop, born again
Kick rocks, who you want the force against?
Tick tock on the clock cause the time condensed
With your material watch I am not impressed
Shit gettin strange
Cause we got Chuck Strangers
Same MCs I listened to as a kid
Now they rapping with me
Got a rapid disease
Y'all was laughing at me
Said I wouldn't see
Not a dollar from one company
So don't mufucking holler at my album release
Y'all ain't spitting half as good as me or my team
Plus y'all masters pushed like to the extreme
I work better, under the pressure
Underestimated can you feel the wrath of a past warrior
I'm in a legend in my city and I'm still unheard of
A man changes when he witnesses murder
This war, is about deception and greed, can take over
Children are goners too many folks in the slammers
We all tryna find gehovah, we all tryna witness glamour
Shit can get strange in this rap game
Say less, just show no mercy when it comes to the paper
Truly militant minded I believe in principles like the panthers
Youngins in the city, riding round toting hammers
I've always been numb, and I don't even smile for the cameras
Shit make a grown man cry, the way the Yak make her turn dancer
TC ain't far from the D
Let me make a trip and get my bands up, I gotta man up
I can't take this shit no more
I gotta think through every outcome
I don't want the feds kicking down my mothers door
I crave more, so I see to it
I embrace knowledge I learn from it
How you gonna make a CD without CE?
My crew's jumping (yeah)




How you gonna make a CD without CE?
My crew's jumping

I cried so hard when her bones started breaking and when she told Lucas she wasn’t ready to die. It’s so heartbreaking that she ended up in a coma, I hope she will eventually wake up.
