Too High
I know you don't wanna hear it man
But your livin' too high
You sell drugs, and your making cash
You got it quick, and you spend it fast
You got a life on your own and a brand new home
Drive a Benz and back, and a super dope broom
Life is high, the way your livin'
Your always takin', and never givin'
It's the same story told everyday
All money's good money, so let's get paid
Suave and debonair, cool and clean
But willing to kill like it ain't no thing
Can't comprehend how the money's made
Suckas shoulda side 'cause you might get sprayed
Smokin' drugs man you must be crazy
Although the smokin' is ages from 10 to 80
Life is life, but life ain't long
So past the test man
You gotta be strong
Too high
Too high
Ridin' and slidin' up and down the block
Get harassed by the cops 'cause your sellin' rocks
Keys after keys, pounds after pounds
Warrants are issued and you can't be found
The Kool is the Koolest could ever get
Somebody came up short you had to make a hit
You can't slow down man, you gettin' faster
Especially in a gang, you gotta master
Sometimes you wanna stop, but your stuck
Find yourself under with a couple of bucks
Punks wanna front, yeah. And pull a fast one
Try to get ill and bad, you gotta blast one
Watchin' your back Jack
Each and every day you in the game of games
So don't play 'em
A job well done 'cause your doin' well
The money is cool, but it's a livin' hell
Too high
Just too high for me man
Too high
Your record's clean, and they had to fix it
Brought your ass in on a traffic ticket
Took you downstairs for interrogation
Not a word to the cops, no cooperation
Still no words as time flew by
The only thing you said was
"Can I loosen my tie?"
Cops understood that you wasn't talkin'
And the chief said "boy, I guess your walkin'"
You went to the desk and got all your things
Like your dope truck, jewelry, your diamond rings
Walked outside and jumped in the Porsche
While givin' high-fives to your buddy on the force
Doin' the do, is what ya do best
No need to get dressed
'Cause your lookin' fresh
You comin' up the street, and the boys are outside
Watchin' them waxin' your other ride
Too high
Too high
But your livin' too high
You sell drugs, and your making cash
You got it quick, and you spend it fast
You got a life on your own and a brand new home
Drive a Benz and back, and a super dope broom
Life is high, the way your livin'
Your always takin', and never givin'
It's the same story told everyday
All money's good money, so let's get paid
Suave and debonair, cool and clean
But willing to kill like it ain't no thing
Can't comprehend how the money's made
Suckas shoulda side 'cause you might get sprayed
Smokin' drugs man you must be crazy
Although the smokin' is ages from 10 to 80
Life is life, but life ain't long
