Strange
Papa San Lyrics

Don't think I'm strange, strange things are happenin'
I'm not weird, there are just unusual and unexpected things happening in the world.

Black people live the life I know we love the life you live
Black people have their own unique experiences and perspectives, but ultimately we all want to live happy and fulfilling lives.

Wah, watch it, mi shout
Be careful and pay attention, because there are important things that need to be said.

My name is Danny and see, I'm only twenty four
I'm a young man named Danny and I'm still figuring things out at the age of 24.

I used to have my own key, to push my own door
I used to have my own apartment and independence, but that has changed.

But now I'm livin' on the street side, because I'm all alone
I'm homeless and living on the street because I have no one to turn to.

Distressed and strained in poverty, leave me without a home
My poverty and hardship has left me without a stable place to live.

Just because my girlfriend left me, she found somebody else
My girlfriend left me for someone else and it has had a big impact on my life.

I think so much about her, I keep on talkin' to myself
I'm consumed with thoughts of my ex and find myself talking to myself about her.

I get so weak and lazy, I just can't do my work
My emotional distress has affected my ability to work and be productive.

My boss said I am crazy, fired me and called me a jerk
My mental and emotional state has caused me to lose my job and be viewed negatively by others.

Everything I earned in my life I give it all to you
I gave my all to my ex and put her before myself and my own well-being.

You leave my life unhappy, I don't know what to do
Despite giving my all to my ex, she left me unhappy and I feel lost and unsure of what to do next.

But so help me God, I do the best I can
Despite my hardships, I'm doing the best I can with what I have.

And now you leave me and I don't know where my future stands
My ex leaving me has left me feeling uncertain and anxious about what the future holds for me.

Watch it! I know that sometimes true love it is so hard to find
Be careful and mindful because finding true love can be very difficult.

I'll put all my trust in you, thinkin' that you were mine
I trusted my ex completely and believed we had a strong relationship.

But love is just a feelin' sometimes it makes you blind
Love can be a powerful emotion that can cloud your judgement and make you unaware of potential issues in a relationship.

And I was only dreamin' she treat me so unkind
I was only dreaming that my ex would treat me well, but in reality she treated me poorly.

Sometimes you make me sacred, that you can barely see
Sometimes you make me feel scared and anxious, and it's hard to see a clear way forward.

I used to do for you, but you don't do for me
I did a lot for my ex, but she didn't reciprocate the effort and care.

I bought you diamond rings, I bought you fancy cars
I spent a lot of money on my ex, buying her expensive gifts like diamond rings and fancy cars.

And now you leave me and I don't know who you really are
My ex leaving me has made me question who she really is, and whether or not our relationship was genuine.

I tried to get myself, back all together again
I'm trying to put myself back together after my breakup and the subsequent challenges I've faced.

I can't get help from no one, not even my closest friends
I feel like I don't have anyone to turn to for help, not even my closest friends.

But true experience, I really learned a lot
Despite my struggles, I've gained a lot of valuable experience and insights.

Education common sense, the only things I got
I have learned a lot through my experiences and gained education and common sense as a result.

Don't want no ice cream lovin', no cheatin' or back bitin'
I don't want a shallow or insincere kind of love, where someone is just looking for a good time or being unfaithful behind my back.

I want a love with meanin', I need a love with feelin'
I want a genuine and meaningful love that truly connects with me emotionally.

Someone to call my darlin', and kiss and say good mornin'
I want someone who will affectionately call me darling and greet me with a loving morning kiss.

To all you cheaters out there this is just a special warnin'
This is a warning to all the cheaters out there, that their deceitful and dishonest behavior has consequences and will not be tolerated.
