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
