Strangers
[Chorus]
I don’t know you
You don’t know me
We don’t roll now
And yeah, it’s plain to see
I don’t know you
You don’t know me
I look at you
But there’s a stranger (strange) starin’ back at me

[Verse 1]
Wasn’t it just the other day that we used to play?
Hazy memories, you and me, then I went away
Wasn’t it just the other day that we used to say
Me and you, stick it to ‘em, nothin’ gonna change?
But your attitude, we were 8 years old
Cut free from the mold, doin’ nothin’ we were told by the ‘dults
Moments worth more than the gold that I show ‘round my neck
Look now, who’d’a known?
Best friends, partners in crime, like that time that we lied to ya parents
Hidin’ in mine, then at night
We ran to the woods while the guys got high
Too shy when they offered to try
We were kids, carefree, so in love with life
That at times I just felt we were there for the ride
You and I, what’s mines is yours, yours is mine
Me and you, so right, so tight, but now...
[Chorus]
I don’t know you
You don’t know me
We don’t roll now
And yeah, it’s plain to see
I don’t know you
You don’t know me
I look at you
But there’s a stranger starin’ back at me

[Verse 2]
Wasn’t it just the other day we were 13?
Same old treehouse, the same old dreams
Stars shinin’ bright as the future would be
When I told you my secrets and you told me, good times
Smiles reflect in your eyes
Who’d’a known that you’d wipe them away with lies
Who’d’a known that we’d twist so apart in time
Who’d’a known that we had somethin’ money can’t buy, nevermind
You got your gang, I got mine, we can ride
We’re cool, not cold, no fights
Alright when nobody around play nice
But the silence is loud, it cuts like a knife
And there’s problems, all your boys got tense
‘Cause they see that we blend, and it’s them you defend
And it makes no sense, I thought we were friends
Yo, I got the message, so just cut the pretenses
[Chorus]
I don’t know you
You don’t know me
We don’t roll now
And yeah, it’s plain to see
I don’t know you
You don’t know me (you don’t know me, no)
I look at you
But there’s a stranger starin’ back at me

[Verse 3]
Wasn’t it just the other day when I left town
Called out to say goodbye, but you won’t look ‘round?
I found my home, all my goals on my own now
Called you for old times, but you put the phone down
Showdown, you ain’t treatin’ me like no clown
Sold out, set back, rottin’ with the in crowd
Only wanna know you ‘cause you passin’ all that dough ‘round
Waste all your time on your life, I’ma go now
I’m so down, lost my oldest friend
When I saw you the last, like we never even met
And nothin’ can, no one can ever try connect
Or replace all the memories, the time that we spent
And I hate this, you feel the same ‘cause I know
And I hate this, no pictures, nothin’ to show
Yo, wasn’t it just the other day that I told you I loved you?
I’ll always be here, even though it’s like...
[Chorus]
I don’t know you
You don’t know me
We don’t roll now
And yeah, it’s plain to see
I don’t know you
You don’t know me
I look at you
But there’s a stranger starin’ back at me

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I don’t know you
You don’t know me (you don’t know me)
We don’t roll now (uh)
And yeah, it’s plain to see (plain to see)
I don’t know you (I don’t know you)
You don’t know me
I look at you
But there’s a stranger starin’ back at me (starin’ back at me)
I don’t know you
You don’t know me
We don’t roll now
And yeah, it’s plain to see
I don’t know you
You don’t know me
I look at you
But there’s a stranger starin’ back at me
I don’t know you
You don’t know me
We don’t roll now (oh, we don’t roll anymore, more, more)
And yeah, it’s plain to see
I don’t know you (I don’t know you)
You don’t know me (you don’t know, no)
I look at you
But there’s a stranger starin’ back at me
I don’t know you (I don’t know)
You don’t know me (you don’t know, no, no, no, no, no)
We don’t roll now
And yeah, it’s plain to see
I don’t know you
You don’t know me
I look at you
But there’s a stranger starin’ back at me
