about

Through Strange Boy’s words, the endeavor is to encapsulate the intricate choreography of human connection, acknowledging that amidst our well-meaning intentions, pain can frequently emerge as an unforeseen aftermath. Endas prowess in production radiates once again within this amalgamation, crafting a rejuvenated soundscape that mirrors the undulating course of relationships - the symphonic interplay of commencements and conclusions that forms lifes unchanging melody.

lyrics

What is enough? I used to think a tenner in hand would satisfy lust,
Until I went bust, pocket money dummy, I was just tryna save up,
Tryna get brand new brogues, I was in school with holes in my shoes and soles,

Bright-eyed good kid, didn’t mind I had a rich soul.
Thought I was the man when I got new Nikes from the bro,
Came in next day on point, had a fight, took flight then got sent home,
On my tippy toes, looking slick as fuck, tryna fetch a bone,
I was thieving outta stores, I was taking loans, trying to provide,
I was living broke, looking like a thousand quid, not a cent to show,
I was ashamed, it was all for show, but I should let you know,
Something I was told, you could buy the world but still feel alone.

I don’t want to hurt nobody
I just want to love somebody

What is enough? I used to think it was being in love with someone you trust,
Until I was done, back to nothing, running, tryna keep up,
I don’t wanna wake back up, things don’t feel the same now,
I gotta try to forget, guess that’s the price you pay,
And it’s so bittersweet when you’ve expensive taste,
But it’s not cheap wine when we’re together, maybe,
I saw you the other day, you were on your own,
You were looking kinda lonely, so I left you alone,
Maybe there were certain sides to you I shouldn’t have shown,
But I guess it doesn’t matter now, we all got to grow.

I don’t want to hurt nobody
I just want to love somebody
What is enough for a man to be content?
I try and keep things together just for myself,
I can’t keep stressing over someone else,
So why do I keep letting thoughts into my head.
I don’t want to hurt nobody
I just want to love somebody
