Mariah The Scientist – “2 You” [Audio, Lyrics, Video]

Mariah The Scientist 2 You

Mariah the Scientist generated considerable buzz for herself after releasing her major-label debut Master in 2019. She followed up the project with two loose singles last year, “Always n Forever” with Lil Baby and the heartbroken ballad “RIP.” As one of the most promising voices in the next generation of R&B songstresses, her unparalleled ability to display vulnerability and feminity in her lyrics has propelled her to the forefront of the game.

The Atlanta-bred songstress shared her latest track “2 You” this Friday (June 18), a trippy single that features Mariah reflecting on a failed romance. The 23-year-old’s vocals blend perfectly with the slow-groove beat. The single arrives ahead of her first project since her debut, RY RY WORLD, which she announced along with the single. RY RY WORLD is set to arrive sometime this summer.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Guess it’s best to get this out in the open
Like my heart was once, but now it’s closing
You were lost and a little unfocused
But maybe you hoped I wouldn’t notice
Disappointed is the least I could say
Who knew these women would lead you astray
I guess you just wanna live life outside a cage (A cage)
And I hope you change (You change)

[Chorus]
But look at what we made
Sure was beautiful
Now I lay it in the grave
Now I’m all covered in dirt
And I try to behave (I try to behave)
But whenever they play our song
Don’t know why I feel ashamed (Don’t know why)
Don’t know why I don’t belong

[Verse 2]
First flight back to Atlanta
Five years later
Wish I listened when they told me
“Don’t ever accept no favors”
2 a.m/AM in the parking garage, it’s clearly a no brainer
Should have left you last July but I was only tryna save us
Maybe it’s these memories or maybe it’s the chase
Or maybe it’s whenever I roll over to your face
Whatever it is, I know you don’t wanna be saved
No, I never thought it would go up in flames

[Chorus]
But look at what we made
Sure was beautiful
Now I lay it in the grave (Now I lay it)
Now I’m all covered in dirt (Now I’m all)
And I try to behave (I try to behave)
But whenever they play our song
Don’t know why I feel ashamed (Don’t know why)
Don’t know why I don’t belong (Don’t know why)

[Instrumental Outro]
