Maybe

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 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 on my Twenty-first birthday Maybe you were afraid Maybe I wasn't brave Maybe we needed space You know what it was And you know what it should've been Don't let your niggas 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 and chasin' s*x 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 niggas do for a little fame Funny what bitches 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 busty And I'm callin' you and your niggas 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' 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 on my Twenty-first birthday Maybe you were afraid Maybe I wasn't brave Maybe we needed space --- Maybe - Mariah The Scientist
