Satellites & Rearview Mirrors
[Pre-Chorus: Maesu]
I can't play the sidelines
Releasing these flaws of mine
Tea leaves help my thoughts align
I need to let go
Open doors like suicide
Keepin' me from living life
Tea leaves help my thoughts align
Think I'm too close to you
[Chorus: Maesu & Khary]
Satellites, rearview mirrors, and I
I can't reach for the sky
And for you at the same time
Chipped my tooth on your pride
Fill my shoes up with ice
Sing your songs till I cry
What you are don't make me
What you know don't make life
[Verse 1: Khary]
Yeah
Pick a side, pick a side, won't you? (Won't you?)
That big forehead must be good for something, don't you (Don't you)
Overthink it? (Overthink it) Well, think a little (Think a little)
You can't grasp what's out your reach if you stay in the middle (No)
If you keep livin' in the past, you'll have a lot of rent due (Ayy)
Screw a wrench, you'll have to come up with somethin' like Tommy Pickles
It's a sticky situation tryna change fate (Yeah)
It's like steppin' on the wine and tryna make grapes
But, I'ma do it anyway (Yeah, mmm)
Even if it means that I'll be cancelin' my dinner dates
A room full of fumes, I'm thinkin' it's time to ventilate
I'm not attackin' you, I'm just protectin' my energy (Not attackin' you)
Power level: ten-thousand
But who's countin'? Thoughts flow on my pen's fountain
My youth drowned in, focusin' on my intake (Yeah)
Feel like 50 Cent (Yeah), many men doubt me (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus: Maesu]
I can't play the sidelines
Releasing these flaws of mine
Tea leaves help my thoughts align
I need to let go
Open doors like suicide
Keepin' me from living life
Tea leaves help my thoughts align
Think I'm too close to you
[Chorus: Maesu & Khary]
Satellites, rearview mirrors, and I
I can't reach for the sky
And for you at the same time
Chipped my tooth on your pride
Fill my shoes up with ice
Sing your songs till I cry
What you are don't make me
What you know don't make life
[Verse 2: Khary]
I know what you're saying, the saying's "Family first" (Family's first)
But lately, I want to skip holidays, seein' family hurts (Family hurts)
A fraction of what we used to be (Used to be)
Standin' around the casket, but no one would read the eulogy (Yeah)
We're all on our phones in different rooms (Uh)
Shit ain't really feel like home since my mother moved (Don't feel like home), I think I'm too close to you
Love-related strangers, doin' shit that we're supposed to do (Supposed to do)
But, if not for our DNA
Would we even be pretendin' we like each other? (What?)
My brother showed up late, and my brother don't like my brother (Nah), and I can't help but wonder (Ayy)
Maybe if I get rich, I could buy time
Every year's a difference in allegiance on our sidelines
Often conflicted, though, I'd rather be ignant
My friends asked me how the trip was, can't gather a sentence (Uh)
Shit feels a little broken at the moment, but, regardless of the trouble (But, regardless of the trouble)
I say all that to say all this: I love you
[Outro: Maesu]
I can't play the side
Think I'm too close to you
Sweet as it seems
I got to let go
Chipped my tooth on your pride
Leaves ain't freein' my mind
Think I'm too close
