Satellites & Rearview Mirrors

Lyrics

[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
