Maze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was making music off of earphones
Back then I was living my life with ears closed
Deconstructive criticism, I don't fear those
My enemies are shooting shots but I don't fear foes
Always keeping the family around
I did good with all the things that they handed me down
My old friends thought this life was a fantasy now
I had a thing the east but I can't be seen with it
My pen game is on bully mode, I'm mean with it
I'm tryna make a couple million off of three minutes
So we can run through the city and tell em we did it
Soft hearted, mean spirit
Top artist, clean lyrics
Only rookie in this game and I don't see limits
Lyrics like Mariana Trench my dawg I'm deep with it
When it's all over
To all of my foes I told ya
To all of my friends I owe ya
Owe ya
When it's all over
To all of my foes I told ya
To all of my friends I. Yeah
Who is Joey gonna be when it's all over
Cuz nowadays people giving me the cold shoulder
They pushing me off to the side like a snow blower
They going cold on a brother as if it's October
I told yah
I can count the amount of people who rocking with me like an old boulder
They dap me like we been friends but I don't know yah
You wasn't there when I was sleeping on an old sofa
You decide man you decide
Is you with me or against me, brother, choose a side
Cause everybody losing lives or they losing minds
And I need people who gon' tell me if I'm losing mine
It's do or die
You in the circle until they start pushing you aside
Sometimes trusting in God just feels like it's suicide
But at the end of the day man I know it's You and I
When it's all over
To all of my foes I told ya
To all of my friends I owe ya
Owe ya
When it's all over
To all of my foes I told ya
To all of my friends I. Yeah

Who is Joey gonna be when it's all over

They pushing me off to the side like a snow blower
They are disregarding me like a machine removing snow
They going cold on a brother as if it's October
They are treating me coldly, as if it's October
I told yah
I have warned you
I can count the amount of people who rocking with me like an old boulder
There are only a few people who support me unwaveringly
They dap me like we been friends but I don't know yah
They greet me like we are close friends, but I am not familiar with them
You wasn't there when I was sleeping on an old sofa
You were absent during my difficult times, sleeping on a worn-out couch
You decide man you decide
The choice is yours, my friend
Is you with me or against me, brother, choose a side
Are you supporting me or opposing me? Pick a side, my brother
Cause everybody losing lives or they losing minds
Everyone is either losing their lives or their sanity
And I need people who gon' tell me if I'm losing mine
I require people who will honestly warn me if I am losing my sanity
It's do or die
It's a critical situation of life and death
You in the circle until they start pushing you aside
You are part of the group until they begin excluding you
Sometimes trusting in God just feels like it's suicide
Occasionally, having faith in God seems like a risky and uncertain choice
But at the end of the day man I know it's You and I
But ultimately, I know it's just between God and me

When You Love Someone"
What about my heart
What about the feelings I feel Inside
That I can not hide
Do I just give in
Or do I pretend that she's not there
As if I didn't care
You can't tell me it ain't right
You can't tell me it ain't right
You can't tell me it ain't right
When you love someone
What I'm I to do
To think I could lose your love
I just couldn't bear
Didn't know it could
I never thought it would go this far
It just isn't fair
You can't tell me it ain't right
You can't tell me it ain't right
You can't tell me it ain't right
When you love someone
I could be wrong maybe it's true
You fall in love and you don't know what to do
Caught in the middle believe me it's real
And I just can't help the way that I feel
You can't tell me it ain't right
You can't tell me it ain't right
You can't tell me it ain't right
When you love someone

We TOOK SO much of this REAL MUSIC for granted....BRING IT BACK PLZZZZ!
Ladi Bias
I honestly didn't think it would go as far as it did. That was totally unexpected, I couldn't break free. It's been more than thirty years and I still love him although we aren't together. If he shows up today I would drop everything and run to his arms.
Kendell Taylor
This is by far my very favorite Maze song, because the lyrics have so much meaning and when Frankie adds his mellow voice the words just seem to pulsate your Heart and Soul...
Andre Caldwell
Almost aren't any words for how this song makes you feel. It can change everytime you hear it.
