In the Middle

Uh
Yeah
Mm-hmm

I stay comfy between here and there
Only place to clear space between my ears and hair (mmph)
Nestle in places that don't really exist
Like a newborn in a palm between fingers and wrist (hahhh)
Too burbs for hood
Too hood for burbs
Too good for birds
But they got dangerous curves
I could just swerve (skrrrt)
Never mistook for herb, but
When it was passed rarely took the herb (I'm good)
Nice enough to have hoop fund a college degree
Resume wasn't straight to apply to league
Obviously, but a nigga still fly with the steez (fly)
Thrift store couture I can't afford designer stitch jeans (uh-huh)
Could dine on fine cuisine
I got plenty of etiquette
But I'm inclined to decline
'cause of how low my credit is (tr- try this card)
Navigatin' places that are never defined
That's the very reason why I'm forever refined, and I'm

In the middle like Monie (Monie)
I'm in the middle like Malcolm (hmm)
Some niggas worry 'bout the money (money)
I tend to worry 'bout the album
That's why it's me between the bars (me between the bars)
I'm cool on the moon
I don't need to be a star (need to be a star)
Probably the reason I won't see the cleanest cars
And if they ever going
They ain't sneaking me to Mars

If life is slow transition to death
If I led with my right foot ain't no preventing the left (nope)
'Cause I don't dismiss significance in missing a step (nope)
Reveling in the instances that strip of 'em breath (uh-huh)

They few and far in-between
Quite literally it seems
Life is limbo according to the definition I gleaned
And achievements are meetings between reality and dreams (yeah)
So you can search for what you looking for
Snatch it out the cookie jar immediately (uh-huh)
Nowadays few things precede immediacy (gimme that)
But we live never knowing how sweet it'd be (sweet?)
If we had only waited never needed to reach (hmmm?)
Not knowing the exact amount of time to breathe
That's the very same thing that defines our being
So everything occurs between here and there, but
I'm only comfortable with it in blank stares, yeah

We in the middle like Monie (Monie)
We in the middle like Malcolm
So would you worry 'bout the money? (money)
Or would you worry 'bout the album?
That's why it's me between the bars (me between the bars)
I'm cool on the moon I don't need to be a star (need to be a star)
Probably the reason I won't see the cleanest cars
And if they ever going, they ain't sneaking me to Mars (ha ha)

Probably the reason I won't see the cleanest cars
Probably the reason I won't see the cleanest cars
Probably the reason I won't see the cleanest cars
Probably the reason I won't see the cleanest, yeah
Probably the reason I won't see the cleanest cars
Probably
