Strangers Lyrics


If it's one thing I've learned that I've written down on paper
It's never leave some weed on the table with a stranger
Shit, I could barely even trust my friends
Maybe with my lady, not trees of the mends
I mean really why even should I try and test it socially
Catch them in the act and end up having to approach them
Entertain the story while it's testing on my patience
Why the fuck you think I spent this money on some?
While I'm on the other side of earth without assistance
Hitchin' in the night sayin' Evy goes the distance
At home the same shit is goin' on, I don't miss it
It's a nice place to live but I wouldn't wanna visit
Never steppin' out the car or on the stage without a purpose
Ghost-ride the whip like I'm ghost writing verses
Afraid to come and go so I take fame in little doses
Director of these photos so the aim remains focused
Hold still right there, hold still
I ain't holier than though or tryin' to even act superior

Half the shit I rap about I'm speaking from experience
I'm livin' at the beach, about as west as the earth goes
People get deceived, seein' gangsters dressed in surf clothes
From? Where they birthin' those flows to set the world off
On a wet park bench drinkin' OJ and Smirnoff
I seen it through my own three and speak it how I heard it
Never tell it how it wasn't [unverified] that murder
I been tourin' constantly so there's wear and tear value
That merits all the lows to terrace highs and travel
Document this madness 'till the day I come unraveled
And retreat to the Matterhorn, baskin' in the castle
On some Dennis Leary asshole, fuck you pay me shit
I've come too far to get jacked and [unverified]
So right about now I think it's 'bout that time
That I'ma let Rev kill while I chill on the rhyme
What the fuck
I ain't speakin' on my businesses in public when concerning deals
Steppin' on stage like it's light bulbs or turning wheels
In spite a couple nights of a thousand I didn't kill
I still kept it peelin' out and steppin' up for Reverend Real
Messages across the board are still remaining pinned up
The opposite of dilated eyes that I begin with, nothin' is original
Even under cloudy days sun is still shining
Just rerouted and out of phase
Lately when I walk I've been trying to hold my posture straight
Hold my chin up then feel the love from across the way
California love from Diego to across the bay
All across the map to every single solitary state
All across the baggage claim, all across the gate
Some callin' it 'fraid how I'm carrying weight
Some callin' it fate while some others remain torn
Some callin' it rain 'cause that's when I brainstorm

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
As a native of Missouri, Israel Nash grew up slap bang in the heartland of America. Ever restless, Israel was somehow destined to take the well travelled road to New York City where his songwriting skills were properly put to the test. In 2011 he released Barn Doors and Concrete Floors. The album was recorded live in an old barn in upstate New York and was an ode to Israel’s influences in the shape of Neil Young and the Rolling Stones; widespread critical acclaim followed and thereby ushered in a new, classic songwriter to the scene.“music soaked in rural American lore.”

Israel Nash has now signed to Loose Music and is commencing the next chapter of his career. The forthcoming album Rain Plans was inspired by Israel’s new home outside Austin, deep in Texas hill country. The young songwriter has fully embraced the meandering hills and endless skies of his Texas home, where you can find yourself so isolated that it is not uncommon for your path to be crossed by a tumbleweed or to hear the percussive warning of an agitated rattlesnake. There is an uneasiness that goes alongside the visual thrill of living in the untainted Lone Star hills and Rain Plans is a testament to the overwhelming grandeur of nature and our place in it. These songs are about finding solace in family and the fear of the future – knowing what you’ll never know and the uncertainty that comes with that knowledge. At times melancholy celebrations and at other times raw guitar rock, Israel’s new surroundings have helped him create a tone only hinted at in his previous work and a songwriting sophistication that comes with great time and effort. Rain Plans is new territory for Israel Nash Gripka, both literally and figuratively, as well as an expression of his finding a strange sort of direction in the fragility of existence.
