Matthew In the MiddleSean Leon

[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?
