Matthew In the Middle

[Intro: Daniel Caesar]

It's a long long

Long long

Journey to the middle

Welcome to the middle

It's a long long

Long long

Journey to the middle

Welcome to the middle, yeah

[Hook: Daniel Caesar]

Amen hallelujah

Amen hallelujah

Is this Heaven or suburbia?

Is this Heaven or suburbia?

Amen hallelujah

Amen hallelujah

Is this Heaven or suburbia?

Is this Heaven or suburbia?

[Verse 1: Sean Leon]

I don't idolize niggas

There ain't a man alive I idolize nigga

My only fear is all this idle time nigga

For the paper I might finalize niggas

And you flexin', I can't find the time nigga

And get stressed from time to time nigga

This obsession with status and new possessions

Patterned from which the lesson is

Average is choosing meth

And balance is for older we're addicts and this is true

So what happens, king of the youth

[Hook: Daniel Caesar]

Is this Heaven or suburbia?

Is this Heaven or suburbia?

[Bridge: Sean Leon]

My soul bleeds over the keys of this piano

I'm in trouble

Need more treble

My brother ran base, I rock, like heavy metal, yeah

My soul bleeds over the keys of this piano

I'm in trouble

Need more treble

My brother ran base, I rock, like heavy metal, yeah

[Verse 2: Sean Leon]

We ain't talk much since '99

We have problems, 99

"I'm comin' home", I know he lyin'

But that's my brother, so that was fine

He in the pen

I'm independent

I used to pen shit

But never send it

He was like my pen pal

I pawned his pendant

Then cop a pistol

No cop protection

He had potential

The times [?] tension

Those tense times

Crime pays quicker

The grind takes time

No Tim Tebow

He in the field no God

Dope boy lifestyle a car no job

He had a chain now he chained

Calling collect with some change

My mother cryin' and I hate

I know that she snitched on my brother

So that's a family divided

Another Christmas no brother

I jail visit my brother

Tired of missin' my brother, yeah

I hope you listenin' brother

I love you, don't you think I'm dissin' you brother

But we never kicked it at all

We never kicked or even pitched at a ball

I hope I see you on tour brother, yeah

[Bridge: Daniel Caesar]

It's a long, long, long, long

Journey to the middle

Welcome to the middle

It's a long, long, long, long

Journey to the middle

Welcome to the middle

[Hook: Daniel Caesar]

Amen hallelujah

Amen hallelujah

Is this Heaven or suburbia?

Is this Heaven or suburbia?

Amen hallelujah

Amen hallelujah

Is this Heaven or suburbia?

Is this Heaven or suburbia?
