“The Wire” is a song off of Mariah The Scientist’s first EP “To Die For” which was first uploaded to Soundcloud in 2018.
When asked on Twitter in 2022 if she has ever thought about remastering and releasing the song again, Mariah simply replied “No” in a since-deleted Tweet.
[Intro]
I, I
I, I
[Chorus]
I, I, I, I know
That you tired
Of what this shit requires
You tell me you the boss you can’t be fired but
For me you’d put it all on the wire
And I know
You out of control, huh
Let me be the remote
This is not one of your shows
I know exactly what I want
[Post-Chorus]
Money trees, finer things
Diamond rings on every finger
You tell me that I’m reckless
If I wreck it, I'ma turn around
Write the check and have another in a second
Something special, that's me
When you told me different, why did I believe?
You say you want me
What do you mean?
They say everything in life ain’t what it seem
[Verse]
I know
You want me to yourself but
I am no collector's item, I don’t sit on shelves no
I know lust when I see it, temptation gets the best of
Me and you and you and him and him and all the rest of
Them, you thought he loved you he just wanted to undress ya
You want to have it your way, maybe role play, interest her
Now everytime she dances, you make sure that you request her
And everytime she dances for you, she wants your confessions
And I know
For whatever reasons
I keep you from sleeping
You see me in them dreams and
You say you really need me
I say talk is cheap and you begging just to see me
Begging just to please me
Asking the size of my ring finger
You want to buy me expensive things and you writing checks that I don’t even read
[Refrain]
I know
I, I, I, I know
I know
I, I, I, I know
[Chorus]
I, I, I, I know
That you tired
Of what this shit requires
You tell me you the boss you can’t be fired but
For me you’d put it all on the wire
And I know
You out of control, huh
Let me be the remote
This is not one of your shows
I know exactly what I want
[Post-Chorus]
Money trees, finer things
Diamond rings on every finger
You tell me that I'm reckless
If I wreck it, I'ma fuck around
Cut the check and have another in a second
Something special, that's me
When you told me different, why did I believe?
You say you sorry, what do you mean?
They say everything in life ain’t what it seem
[Outro]
This ain’t no his and hers
