(Chorus:)
Life is like a drug but I never indulge
Watch it pass, never catch whatever it was
(Verse:)
Life is so giving, but she’s not forgiving, best hope not to choke
Can't take a single breath for granted
Can't catch it you start to panic
Any chance you got to move ahead, take advantage
I’ve never been high, and I don’t think I ever will be
I work myself silly, to make it to that hundred milly
And that’s the only thing in my eye sight, yeah I spy
With my little eye, so many missed chancеs is that right?
Yeah that’s right, but look at the success I got now
My hеad above the clouds, and all I can ask is how
Can I maintain this life, that’s why I’m always on the grind
For a better time, a better price
Better point, a better life
(Chorus:)
Life is like a drug but I never indulge
Watch it pass, never catch whatever it was
Never ever high, never ever high
I just wanna chill and smoke but I can’t catch a fire
(Verse:)
I'm leaving this Missouri behind, goodbye to my old life
Every night, I would think of how to make everything right
If I could’ve flown away, just start life like another day
Stepping out and looking up, hope the sun shines on me so bright
Growing up, all I saw were folks with no goals
People who seemed numb to being ignorant and broke
Just want to get myself and my mom up out this hole
So I use loopholes and trick no one will ever know
I got a pool on my roof, what do I have to be sad for?
I live in the heart of Hollywood, what should I be mad for?
My life is so much better than what it was before
But so many things I had to sweep out of my door
Cut some friends and family off, I hate to do it cause I love them
They say I’ve changed too much, what do you want from me
I gave you all my trust and you crush it like nothing
That’s why I’m on the top floor, feel like I’m still suffering
Cause when you move up, they just have to drag you down
People that said they’d always be around, and be down
They said they’d come up with you, now they diss you
I guess trust just don’t mean enough
What’s worse? When I think about them, it’s still all love
“But you’ve gained so much, who cares how you and your mama feel
If you have more than I, then it’s fine to take yours, that’s the deal
Oh come on man, don’t trip, I thought you’d keep it real
Don’t get uppity now, I’m bout to make a steal”
Who cares how much I got? It’s mine, and only mine!
I worked to earn it all, so your jealousy can kiss my behind
I live selfish with the fear that trusting will make me wanna die
Trust I’m the only one I need, I’ll never need the high of life
I don’t need support from family and friends
All they ever do is judge and take, I got enough sins
The day I trust another human is the day my life will end
Barrel to my head, like Cobain, I’ll never be high again
Life is like a drug but I never indulge
Watch it pass, never catch whatever it was
(Verse:)
Life is so giving, but she’s not forgiving, best hope not to choke
Can't take a single breath for granted
Can't catch it you start to panic
Any chance you got to move ahead, take advantage
I’ve never been high, and I don’t think I ever will be
