Lyrics and Chords

I woke up this morning with a pain in my side
I thought for awhile as I didn't know why
Then I remembered, I haven't eaten in days

I go to school each and every day
I try my best, listen to what they say
But my thoughts wander and I just want to go to sleep

Oh, I wish they could just see
If they could just feel...
I'm not a stranger that you meet (slight break of time/musically)
I live right down your street

My sister doesn't have any friends over after school
She's too embarrassed by our lack of food
I think that's why she doesn't have many friends at all

My Mama works two jobs a day she gets the rent in order
That's what I hear her say and our lights and water
Mostly, stay on...

I walk by the store window and I see all the fruit
Thoughts race through my head, I wanna steal that loot
But I was raised to be a good boy

I hear my Mama crying some nights
I go to her room tell her "It'll be alright"
And I rub her head 'till she falls asleep
And I rub her head 'till she falls asleep

Chorus with three time repeat of: I'm not a stranger that you meet

Double break of time: I live right down your street
