Mariah the Scientist - Maybe lyrics

[Verse 1] Face it, they be tellin' you to fake it It's a tragedy that someday the world will end We can't always pretend 'bout What it is and what it ain't 'Cause one of these days, they'll take it away And we'll never get to see each other's faces Just say it, I know you're tired of fakin' 'Cause you've been livin' on the stage And you know what it's like in cages [Chorus] Maybe we should escape Maybe I should've stayed Maybe we should've ran away Maybe I should've prayed Maybe we should've danced together all night Twenty-first birthday Maybe you were afraid Maybe I wasn't brave Maybe we needed space [Verse 2] You know what it was And you know what it should've been Don't let your ni**as talk you up Liked you better for what you could've been Now it's like I don't even know you, you just ain't as real You've been losin' focus, stop chasin' sex appeal And I know you know I held my end of the deal All for you to switch up, tear his ass out the picture frame Funny what ni**as do for a little fame Funny what b*tches do for a little change And you always fell for a big booty and curls Laid up in LA next to some city girls Next thing I know, she'll have a Birkin and a bussie And I'm callin' you and your ni**as disgustin' 'Cause knowin' you, you put your homie on with her cousin I'm from the East, you know I'm knuckin' if she buckin' [Chorus] Maybe we should escape Maybe I should've stayed Maybe we should've ran away Maybe I should've prayed Maybe we should've danced together all night Twenty-first birthday Maybe you were afraid Maybe I wasn't brave Maybe we needed space
