High Life

Ooh Ooh Ooh
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Palestinians under razor wire lock down
Unhoused on the train, praying for a handout
Child soldier in the shit, gun spray, stay down
Damn, I ain't really got nothing to complain about
I'm just trying to keep my fears right size otherwise
My mind might take a dive like a kamikaze
Masks on, ComicCon, people got they shields up
How you 'sposed to heal it if you bottle and it seal it up
But f*** these feelings
I been running like a herd of prey
At every opportunity that I could push the world away
Could I find the high life
Through drugs and food and booze and sex
It's just the weapons in the war I fight against myself
To be a better man, I better learn to forgive
Won't be perfect or pitch a no-hitter
I could let my ego lead me to sin
Or I could look at every day like I'm a beginner
Like I'm a be grateful, I'm a eat dinner
Got a roof on my head, a bed to sleep in
I used to get high because I couldn't deal
But that fantasy high ain't got nothing on that real high

Whatchu trying to do today
To live the high life
Whatchu trying to do today
To live the high life
Whatchu trying to do today
To live the high life
Yo Shawn Randall show em how you live that high life

I'm trying to live my best life
I'm trying to get my life right
I'm trying to keep my pen bright
For them dark days and them dark nights
Turn this day job into a daydream
Vibrate at higher frequencies
But frequently when the world seems
To be falling apart at the seams
So I make music that speaks to me
If elevates you then it levitates me
Take a deep breath and come and fly with us
We are The US Open come and ride with us
Spread your wings and just vibe with us

What do you want to do today
To live the high life
Yo what are you trying to today
To live the high life
Yeah, what do you want to do today
To live the high life
Yo Zaza show em how you live that high life

Learning how to lead every time I take a walk
Learning how to speak every time I breathe to talk
Learn to tell between the guilty and the arrogant
So I can see in the land of the free all the big money
I ever spent
Don't tell me what I gotta be, who I gotta be, what I need to dress like
For me to see, come watch me become my own little nightlight
My joy my body my dreams not sorry
Since I wrote in my diary can't put me out I'm fiery
Gave my heart a lobotomy I become who I gotta be
I'm a lot, I'm a lotta me
If you can, can you bottom me
Take my pills
So I can be an optimist
Found the cure
Like a celebrated scientist
Now I know
The only way to get through this
If y'all choose love then we all choose love
Then the world is our experiment, woo!

What do you want to do today
To live the high life
Yo what are you trying to do today
To live the high life
What do you want to do today
To live the high life
Steven P. Boyer show em how you live that high life

Heyyyy
Heyyyy
Heyyyy
Hey-yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm trying to live
I'm trying to live
I'm trying to live
I'm trying to live
I'm trying to live
I'm trying to live
Ahh-Ooh

I tell God that I love her when I kneel down and pray
I tell someone I love 'em at least one time a day
At least one time a week I make it someone I don't know
Love is infinite and we're filled with it
And I love you yo
So what's your Dope North Star?
One that leads you home
It's a trinity, a trilogy that lives in a poem
So I'm a always stay on point as long as I can remember
To be honest
Stay connected
And live in
