New Strangers

[Gio: Intro]

You lose direction when you move aimless

And old friends turn to new strangers

Yeah

[Gio: Chorus]

The journey is forever

But friends come and go

Pesticides on a flower

Never had a chance to grow

Cursed with every seed you sow

The soil never guarantees a rose

We saw the rain comin' in but it was cold as snow

Now the garden’s freezin' over

We can only hope

That the sun will come back one day

[Gio: Verse 1]

New strangers remove feelings

Dеlude the past

Crucial conversations turnеd arguments really threw us back

But no whining

Good times, bad timing

I knew I had to mature but you stayed quiet

No closed caption

You live your life in prose with structure well in reach

But no poetry was found when you lost your college degree

Now you working job to job cause you claim your knowledge is weak

But it all could’ve been so simple

You reach out to God once in a while but forgot you gotta speak

I tried to help you find the light

That’s what friends for

The pussy got you meek and a mill is what you seek

But you don’t practice what you preach

Chasing a dream that’s sinful

Wish I could’ve had your back when you was going through changes

Appearance and all

You wasn’t fearin' the fall

But now the season has come

To leave all them grudges you got alone

I’m prayin' for you to find your way home

New

Strangers

[Gio: Verse 2]

Ha

Gio, you quick to judge

Sittin' on your throne

Sippin' your cup

Your pinky up

It’s hypocritical of you to say the light for me is missing

Our plights are so much different

So much different

I come from nothing but stress

Suffocation on every step

Alone in crowded places

Complacent to what was next

Browsin' through universities

Hoping to refresh

And explore a new perspective not formed from internet

See the point that you neglected

Left me to really question

Was our friendship really a two way street to you?

Cause at the fork in the road

I found you in a different vehicle

I need to know

Was the road you took worth it?

Did you pave the way perfect from what lies beneath the surface?

When I crashed you sped away

The getaway was urgent

Damn

I hit your phone a couple times but you gave me no service

I must’ve hit the wrong person

New strangers

[Gio: Chorus]

The journey is forever

But friends come and go

Pesticides on a flower

Never had a chance to grow

Cursed with every seed you sow

The soil never guarantees a rose

We saw the rain coming in but it was cold as snow

Now the garden’s freezing over

We can only hope

That the sun will come back one day

[Chris Patrick: Verse 1]

I

Thought you was the one but then I realized I was really second place in for separation

An attachment born from fragments of your desperation

You needed love then used a nigga as a crutch to feed your aspirations for life

(Who the fuck is you textin'?)

Co-existin' with cryptic codes

Messages lookin' like hieroglyphics with emojis

Be textin', he didn't know

I didn't mess with the infidelity

But now you keep tellin' me let it go

Let it go? Let it go?!

This is fucked up but

I'm stuck resolvin' all the trauma so that way you healed

I'm dumb exhausted chasin' promises she ain't fulfilled

This what you wanted? Words resolve around your space and field

So why it seem like problems still exist inside your head huh?

I realized a little while back that I wasn't the one that you want and I never been

The minute he said that he needed your ass

You just broke that shit off, wasn't hesitant

Took me a minute to see that the truth of the story was evident

Most of you niggas would choose bein' sick if you don't like the taste of the medicine

[Gio: Chorus]

The journey is forever

But friends come and go

Pesticides on a flower

Never had a chance to grow

Cursed with every seed you sow

The soil never guarantees a rose

We saw the rain coming in but it was cold as snow

Now the garden’s freezing over

We can only hope

That the sun will come back one day

[Gio: Chorus (ext.)]

It’s so hard for us to reconcile and get along

But I don’t want any regrets when I’m dead and gone

I’ve been screaming my heart out

And letting my guard down

Sick of the defense

Don’t wanna play pretend

No

Fearing livin' is dangerous

Can’t let it contain us

You lose direction when you move aimless

And old friends turn to new strangers
