Maeta – Teen Scene (ft. Buddy) (Audio, Lyrics)

Maeta Teen Scene

Haitian-Canadian producer Kaytranada has been steadily holding it down with consistent musical output, his craftsmanship evident with every new release. Today, he provides the backbone for a brand new single from Maeta, a rising young vocalist out of Indianapolis. On “Teen Scene,” Kaytra’s foundation is a minimalist one to start, a blend of faint vocals and a non-invasive groove. Maeta’s smooth vocals shine as she slides effortlessly into falsetto, reflecting on her days coming of age with a newfound perspective.

“I grew up in housing trucks, felt like Summer when all the kids were out,” she sings. “Not old enough to light up yet, still did behind the house.” The nostalgic subject matter takes a left turn once Buddy enters the fold, his mind entirely set on the present. “Baby on my mind but I’m always on a mission,” he raps, catching a tight pocket on Kaytra’s groove. “Tryna get another six figures, girl you know you love me, just admit it.” For those who can appreciate something a little outside the box, the low-key yet upbeat new single from Maeta, Buddy, and Kaytranada should be a welcome surprise.

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Maeta]
I grew up in housing trucks
Felt like Summer when all the kids were out
Not old enough to light up yet
Still did behind the house
Girl I fell too far away
The opposite too close

[Pre-Chorus: Maeta]
You lie to your parents, to come see me
And say you love me, so I’m the one who you would lie to most

[Chorus: Maeta]
You are backwards
You act like it’s for me
Hmm, hmm
So I left you in the teen scene
I did that for you
But I’m still backward

[Post-Chorus: Maeta]
Soon again, I’m deep up in your waters
Live life just like you taught it
Tables turned, you got my plate
At least I’d do the same, that shit [?]
Woo, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Woo, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm

[Verse 2: Buddy]
Lil’ ghetto, nigga plottin’ on some better livin’
Big money, told my momma I ain’t settlin’
Plot thickens everytime I get, get it, got it
Keep shit flippin’, ’til the clock quit tickin’, I get
Incentives for sin, he sin, sinnin’
The devil is a lie, father God is forgivin’
Baby on my mind but I’m always on a mission
Tryna get another six figures
Girl you know you love me, just admit it
Yeah I love you too but I be trippin’
Had a little trouble with committin’
I was raised different, places I’ve been they won’t visit
Things we did, I won’t mention
Things you said, I won’t forget it
I don’t regret it, forever indebted, we got here together
Whole other level
Now we just get better and better, when I’m in the city they call me a legend, yeah

[Verse 3: Maeta]
Used to hang behind the trucks
Addin’ two graffiti on the walls
Drank with you despite the taste
Now for everything I turn to alcohol
Oh, I’m the saddest popular
And soon he’ll be [?]

[Pre-Chorus: Maeta]
You lie to your parents, to come see me
And say you love me, so I’m the one who you would lie to most

[Chorus: Maeta]
You are backwards
You act like it’s for me
Hmm, hmm
So I left you in the teen scene
I did that for you
But I’m still backward

[Post-Chorus: Maeta]
Soon again, I’m deep up in your waters
Live life just like you taught it
Tables turned, you got my plate
At least I’d do the same, that shit [?]
Woo, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Woo, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm

[Outro: Buddy]
I should’ve never lie (That’s my bad, that’s my bad, my bad)
I should’ve told the truth (That’s my bad, that’s my bad, my bad, my bad)
We can do it ’til we get it right (That’s my bad, that’s my bad, my bad, my bad)
It’s all for you
