Like feeling real high, feeling alright,
driving in the afternoon light,
playing loud tunes, windows down
'Bitch don't kill my vibe'
Checking the surf hope there's waves to ride
but if theres not i don't mind
I can stroll to the shore take a dive
Dip to my crib, work on my rhymes
Do you remember when you first got high?
did you feel like if you tried you could fly?
or did you laugh 'til you thought you'd cry?
I was just a teen when it came in my life
Small town rebel with a skateboard
working on his first songs trying to make more
fuck homework, go skate more
get baked more, make beats and stay up late more
Go to school tired, like 'fuck it'
listen to too much Wu - bring the ruckus
go to parties, get drunken
that part of my life was so fun
I can't deny that I was broken
and guess I was kind of hopeful
that it'd blow all my problems away in a smoke ring but it didn't, nor did drinking
Or any of the drugs that I took,
its kinda corny but deep within me,
somewhere the answer was always waiting,
its always waiting, but I'm impatient so,
I get wasted and do some dumb shit
but always pay for it in the long run
We're just young and dumb,
young and dumb, young and down to get high (get high)
Just like me back in high school
but i as I grow more wise i see theres more to life than,
hanging out and flying kites
don't get me wrong I still love getting high but
these days i'm too busy no time
I guess you could say im on my grind
I get so stressed, get so wired,
sometimes I need mary jane to unwind (unwind)..
