Staring at a Stranger Songtext
von Jelly Roll feat. Struggle Jennings

I′ve came to the point, I must make a decision
This money is cool but you can't take it with you
Lord, I′m just grinding and making a living
I make it so vivid with painting a picture
I look in the mirror
Feel like I'm lost
I do not recognize that man at all
Started to build without counting the cost
We're all the same at the foot of the cross

And if I told you that my life′s on the line
Would you give a fuck at all?
And if I told you I was led by the blind
Would you believe me when I said what they saw?


There′s a monster inside of my head
I feel like I'm in danger
′Cause every time that I look at myself
I'm staring at a stranger
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I′m staring at a stranger
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I don't recognize myself

I made it out of the mud by doing dirt, my soul is filthy (uh)
Covering up the smell of all of my guilt with Gucci gilded (ooh)
Ugly truth in the mirror starin′ back, never looked this pretty
Findin' peace by losin' myself in self pity
Please forgive me

Feelin′ low, I′m trapped in a cage of expectations set too high
Fightin' to live but start to get jealous of all the ones who get to die
Ready to ride, our war′s inside
Pickin' a side, it′s hard to decide
Split down the middle
The great divide, is where all my demons lie

There's a monster inside of my head
I feel like I′m in danger
'Cause every time that I look at myself
I'm staring at a stranger
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I′m staring at a stranger
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I don′t recognize myself


I'm staring at a stranger
I don′t recognize myself
