Strangerphobia - MuRli, Steve Hanks

Humans are liars I’m petrified by the best of them

Stuck in a dark world I share the light with a bunch of them

Looking into their eyes I see potential for good

Reach deep into their mouths and feel their hunger for blood

Some of them yearning for love

But they lust for it more

Sometimes inside the churches with our hands aloft

While our eyes are locked behind cherie amour

She’s taken

But yet you caught her looking

And you gave her the eyes

She showed you the thighs

Who corrupted your mind?

No one no one it’s your human psyche

Ride on ride on welcome to the cycle

Better put on your spectacles

If you wanna see this spectacle

Gotta look beyond the optical

The real obstacles ain’t detectable

Everybody out here too sceptical

About everything other than the ones they know

I don’t ever want to be the one they know

And that’s wonderful coz I’m full of wonders

Why they so scared of the truth I wonder…

I wonder why they’re so scared of the truth

Rappers are killers the music died because of them

Too insensitive I’m mortified for the rest

And we said goodbye to the best

They commercialised their obsessions by glamorising crime and sex

Amplified the effects

Revolutionised how we dressed

Then they made our youths heartless

When they put ices on their necks

MTV shoulda never played them

They left our children with the venom

Now they snakes in skinny jeans

Making you and your mama sin

Like Billie Jean

Having twins

From a dream

With the guy on the screen

And you blame it on me

Coz I am an mc

Tryna follow my dream

And make a scene

For the kids in my city

Humans are sinners I’m petrified by the best of them

But I am no angel I share my life with the worst of them

Matter fact I’m one of the worst

Couldn’t find a way to hold my urge

For more power I’m on that search

Higher power to kill my surge

Good Lord can you quench my thirst

I don’t want to use you to cover my dirt

When the church do that that hurts

And being part of it feels like a curse

But I’m patient I let you be nurse

You be the judge in the courts on earth

I’m thinking about Gaza, I’m thinking about the north

Too many hearts broken by the hearse

I’m thinking about Gaza, I’m thinking about the north

Too many hearts broken by the hearse

Too many hearts broken by the hearse

Too many hearts broken by the hearse

Can’t understand us

Coz we’re strangers

Since we’re strangers ain’t nobody care to stand us

They can’t stand us

So we’re strangers

Because we’re strangers

Can nobody understand us?

Humans are gorgeous I fell in love with one of them

In my heart of flesh you will find hatred for none of them

Paradoxical verses is just to tickle your senses

This particular sentence’s about to make you more nervous:

Heavy artillery fuelling the hubris

That’s turning humans to humus

To fertilise the desire to overpower the weak for the sake of greed

And it won’t stop

Everyday we bleed

But our land won’t crop

It’s like our lands don’t crop

So we lift our hands up

Like please don’t shoot us

We just need a hand so please don’t kick us out…

Because we’re strangers
