Caught up in the middle
What did I get into?
We cannot pretend
This just a waste of time
All up in my mental
So I think it's best you
Cut that like a Ginsu
Let me out my mind
No escape, no shaking fate
Each made mistakes
But this takes the cake
I said I wouldn't let it
Affect me how it affected me
Knew we were never meant to be
Don't know how much you meant to me
I thought we'd spend a century
Creeping till eventually
Something would balance chemically
And lead to a dependency
But now we're public enemies
So much for the legacy
I'm pouring up the Hennessy
Like that shot's the remedy
Them back shots tempted me
You left me empty see
Living in my head rent free
Hoe please just leave
I can see you never needed me
Secret like a speakeasy
At least have the decency
To not try to speak to me
We're tuned to different frequencies
Yet fit together seamlessly
So why does it feel right?
"Hey, you still up?" in the middle of the night
Caught up in the middle
What did I get into?
We cannot pretend
This just a waste of time
All up in my mental
So I think it's best you
Cut that like a Ginsu
Let me out my mind
Took you to smoke good
And paid for the food
Even brought you flowers
Things your man won't do
You're stuck somewhere in between the two
You say he paid dues
But I'm that dude
I know
It's true
I get dressed in cool
I get fresh for you
Only the best for you
It's like a festival
Celebrations nightly
I'm a professional
So don't take this lightly
You might be crazy
If you choose to play me
I'm amazing baby
No time for false modesty
I'm only giving honesty
Ain't nobody that's stopping me
Ain't nobody on top of me
A prophet who keeps profiting
I'm like a richer Socrates
I'm testing my hypotheses
These questions are a lot for me
I usually don't give a f*ck
But somehow you got me stuck
Coming back every month
I can never get enough
Caught up in the middle
What did I get into?
We cannot pretend
This just a waste of time
All up in my mental
So I think it's best you
Cut that like a Ginsu
Let me out my mind
Clear to see
We've got bad habits
This attraction
Cannot happen
One day acting
Just like magnets
Something happens
We got distracted, absent
I did backflips to smash it
But my lack of action
Made it look half-assed and
Always had you asking
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
But I know better than to answer that one
Clueless
Is how I play it
Listen what I'm saying
I don't know the game
And I don't know my way
In and out of this
A little good behavior
And it's like vacation
Some nights you're talking crazy
Throw a tantrum out in public
In my ear say "Love you baby"
What?
Caught up in the middle
What did I get into?
We cannot pretend
This just a waste of time
All up in my mental
So I think it's best you
Cut that like a Ginsu
Let me out my mind
Just let me
Just let me
Just let me out my mind
We're running out of time
