About This Track

070 Shake builds 'Stranger' around a central tension: the pull of material desire against the discomfort of intimacy. The track moves between a posture of detached confidence and genuine uncertainty, the repeated question "How you know?" cutting through declarations of self-assurance. Lyrically, she positions herself as unknowable, someone existing outside the usual social contract, yet the song's architecture suggests that distance is both shield and wound. The production keeps pace with this duality. Rhythms shift and stall; the beat moves forward without settling, matching the emotional restlessness of the lyrics. 070 Shake's vocal delivery alternates between conversational ease and something more fractured, as if the persona she's constructed might crack under scrutiny. 'Stranger' is a song about the cost of remaining unreachable, and the longing that might hide beneath that choice.

"Stranger" is a single by 070 Shake, from the album Glitter - EP, released 23rd March 2018. The track is 3:42 long. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about 070 Shake.

Lyrics

Stranger

Designer bitch, yeah
Hope you know you signing
Night and day, fuck about what time it is
This won't get you high, don't ask me why I'm trying it
Designer bitch
She just want the finer things
And day, every day, give a fuck about what time it is
This won't get you high so don't you ask me why I'm trying it
Designer bitch
Night and day, every day
Give a fuck about what time it is
This won't get you high so don't you ask me why I'm trying it

How you know?
How you know, how you know, how you know?... How?
How you know?
How you know, how you know, how you know?
How you know?
Tell it to me straight, tell it to me straight
Tell it to me straight
Tell it to me straight, or am I too much of a stranger?
Stranger
My mama said, "Don't talk to strangers"
Like me
Baby I'm a stranger, stranger
Stranger to you
Baby I'm a stranger, stranger
Stranger to you

Don't you be ashamed, show your face if you feel a way
You know it's earlier when we sleep today
Don't you be ashamed, show your face if you feel a way
You know it's earlier when we sleep today
Took it to the left, we don't slow at all
Wicked wicked rush, we don't stop at all
Took it to the left, we don't slow at all
Wicked wicked rush, we don't stop at all

We ain't surprised
we doing fine, we, we doing fine
Have you lost your mind, oh?
We doing fine, we, we doing fine
I expected all of this from one of these niggas all around me
Only we live forever, so don't you ever time me
I expected this from all the niggas all around me
Only we live forever, so don't you think 'bout timing me

How you know?
How you know, how you know, how you know?... How?
How you know?
How you know, how you know, how you know?
How you know?
Tell it to me straight, tell it to me straight
Tell it to me straight 
(Tell it to me straight, tell it to me straight, tell it to me straight)
