Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Face it, they be telling 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 faking
'Cause you've been living on a 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 **** talk you up
Liked you better for what you could've been
Now it's like I don't even know you and you just ain't as real
You've been losing focus and chasing 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 **** 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 bussy
And I'm calling you and your **** disgusting
'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
