Read the lyric sheet

Verse 1

Section Four-Twelve, knees up on the rail Climbed eight flights when the elevator failed Phone zoom out, can barely make her face She down on the floor in a courtside lace Fourteen for the nachos, no jalapeños left Vendor said it twice like it ain't no theft She with somebody, watch them clink the glass The Heat down twelve and I'm down a class

Pre-chorus

Wave my arms but the camera don't pan She got a bottle, I'ma share with my man And I keep asking like it's a chant, uh

Chorus

Hey, can you see me from the cheap seats? Section 4-1-2, ten dollar beer in my teeth You down by the floor, he down on his knees Can you see me, can you see me from the cheap seats? Hey, can you see me from the cheap seats? North Miami air, thirty-two degrees of grief We used to talk about courtside, baby look at me Can you see me, can you see me from the cheap seats?

Verse 2

Used to ride the 95 with a Heat hat on Dreaming 'bout the day we sit where the seat get warm Now you sit where the seat get warm, it's just not me Got a man with the wristpiece, bottle and a fee Cafecito on the Biscayne strip last fall Now you sip something French, I sip the rip from the wall Jumbotron caught you laughing with the bottle service crew I post a story like it's funny, but it ain't true

Pre-chorus

Wave my arms but the camera don't care She got a season pass, I got the upper tier Keep asking till the question wear out, uh

Chorus

Hey, can you see me from the cheap seats? Section 4-1-2, ten dollar beer in my teeth You down by the floor, he down on his knees Can you see me, can you see me from the cheap seats?

Verse 3

Tap, tap, post the boomerang, throw the ball-up I know you peep stories at 8:47, all up Caption say view's better up here, I lie Filter on the crying so the eyes go dry Three views, four views, none of them you Then your name pop up, and the screen go blue You ain't typing, you just looking, worse than block I unfollow the page, but the heart still knock

Bridge

Voicenote, draft folder, fifteen minutes long Talking like you here, like the timing not gone Saying I miss when we ate on the trunk in the lot Saying I miss when the courtside was just a thought Saying nothing 'cause I ain't gon' send it, I delete Watch the screen go black, timer hit zero, no tweet

Verse 4

Kiss-cam, fourth quarter, spotlight on her face She lean in, he lean in, the whole arena clap and chase I look down at the menu, nine for a Pepsi cup Crowd go up, my chest go up, my heart go up, up, up And I laugh, 'cause what else, I ain't got the words The Heat hit a three, the announcer just slurred Twenty-four seconds left, I ain't watch the rest Just stare at her hand on his courtside vest

Verse 5

Game over, lights up, the sweepers come out We all walking down them same eight flights, no doubt She'll Uber Black, I'ma hop the Metromover, clean Two trains, one bus, one mile, the Brickell scene And I won't DM, won't tweet, won't text the boys Won't post a sad song with the lyric overlay noise Some distance close with a click, some don't ever close Some seats just cheap, baby, that's how it goes

Chorus

Hey, can you see me from the cheap seats? Section 4-1-2, ten dollar beer in my teeth You down by the floor, he down on his knees Can you see me, can you see me from the cheap seats? Hey, can you see me from the cheap seats? North Miami air, thirty-two degrees of grief I ain't asking 'cause I want it, asking 'cause it's me Can you see me, can you see me from the cheap seats?
