I wrote this song a long time ago, when the darkness first started intruding in my life. Produced by the Anno Domini camp. Hope you enjoy, maybe some can even relate.

Artist picture
Just a poetry geek that happens to also like rapping.
Hello. I am simply a beaner that likes to rap. I wouldn't even call myself a rapper per se, I'm a writer. However, ever since I heard "Hard Knock Life" by Jay-Z when I was 5, I fell in love with hip-hop. I could tell you many things, hype myself up to make me look like a star...but I will let the music speak for itself. I could tell you a bunch of stuff about my tracks but...just shut up and listen, shut up and listen son.

Lyrics
There's a stranger in the mirror There's a stranger in my mind I have voices in my head Whispering to me all of the time Making me unsure of myself Got me waking up in the morning Wishing I was someone else and Even though I know it won't really help I go and grab a bottle off the shelf In an attempt to cope with Ill events I have been dealt I feel pathetic, full of self pity I wake up in the morning feeling like sh** Instead of feeling like Diddy. I brush my teeth, glance at the mirror And a stranger stares back He casts a shadow and that's Why it's cold where I'm at I tried telling him to leave, just go away But yet I encounter him everyday I hate this...damn this stranger He's the reason for the f*** ups And the bitter anger There's a stranger behind my eyes There's a stranger in my head I feel like I'll remain a stranger to myself Until I'm dead Toss and turn restless in my bed Another sleepless night Another fight, just more strife I don't feel like myself, I'm now a stranger Yet I remember some happy days But now we could drown in the lake That pours forth from my face I feel like a stranger, in a strange land All alone as if no one gives a damn About this Mexican Just another man doing the best he can I pour my heart out in every jam But no one understands I used to be bright, now my heart is obscured Life has suddenly lost it's allure I don't really wanna go, lemme explain I'm just tired of the pain that Won't expire in my brain. There's a stranger in my life There's a stranger inside of me Producing sadness and anxiety This ain't how I'd like my life to be I'm not the same me They whisper and argue about what could have changed me Yet if you were in my position Wouldn't you be bitter and angry? This stranger has taken over Making me act foul I tried running from him but I'm so tired now I confront him and ask him how How the hell could you do this to me? I'm not the person I used to be Now I'm writing sad songs almost exclusively Stranger...do you have any idea, of what you put me through? I feel unsafe alone, don't know what I could do Smile one minute, then feel crushed out of the blue Then I contemplate.... sh** , I AM YOU.
