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
Keeping me from living life
Tea leaves help my thoughts align
Think I'm too close to you
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
Filled 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
Pick a side, pick a side won't you
That big forehead must be good for something, don't you
Overthink it, well think a little
You can't grasp what's out your reach if you stay in middle
If you keep living in the past
You'll have a lot of rent dude
Screw or wrench you'll have to come up with something
Like tommy pickles
It's a sticky situation tryna change fate
It's like stepping on the wine and tryna make grapes
But Imma do it anyway
Even if that means that I'll be canceling my dinner dates
A room full of fumes I'm thinking it's time to ventilate
I'm not attacking you I'm just protecting my energy
Power level 10,000
But who's counting thoughts flow out my pen's fountain
Now you drowning, focusing on my intent
Feel like 50 cent many men doubting
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
Keeping me from living life
Tea leaves help my thoughts align
Think I'm too close to you
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
Filled 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
I know what you're saying the saying's family first
But lately I wanna skip holidays seeing family hurts
A fraction of what we used to be
Standing around the casket but no one will read the eulogy
We're all on our phones in different rooms
Shit ain't really felt like a home since my mother moved
I think I'm too close to you
Blood related strangers doing shit that we're supposed to do
But if not for our DNA
Would we even be pretending we like each other
My brother showed up late and my brother don't like my brother
And I can't help but wonder
Maybe if I get rich I could buy time
Every years a difference in allegiance on the sidelines
Often conflicted
Though I'd rather be ignant
My friends ask me how my trip was
Can't gather a sentence
Shit feels a little broken at the moment
But regardless of the trouble
I say all that to say all this, I love you
I can't play the side
Think I'm too close to you
Sweet as it seems
I gotta let go
Chipped my tooth on your pride
Leaves aint freeing my mind
Think I'm too close
