High on life (Joey)
J. Cardim, what up?
Parks, what up?
Dolla, what up?
I think we got one with this one baby
Not really, I hate when niggas say shit like that (Joey)
Quick question though
Y'all in that mood yet?
Naw, naw they ain't hear me
(I said), y'all in that mood yet?

I broke down a while ago, finally picking up the pieces
Memoirs on how the undefeated, can feel depleted
I don't talk to God as a matter of fact I plead with
At times I hate my reflection and others I'm conceited
Half the time I'm arrogant, other times I'm vengeful
At times it's to convince me, at times it's to convince you
Done a lot of wrong but I ain't never felt resentful
It's been so many times, I lost track of who to repent to
Half the time I'm in the cut, don't want you to notice me
Grow with me and you'll see that I'm only awkward socially
Half the time I'm spiteful, double barrel rifle
I owe so many payback, I feel like I got a right to
So, if you need a case in point, you can refer to Budden
And it'll prove the painkillers never murdered nothin'
All it did was make me succumb, put ice in me, make me numb
When I revisit the places it takes me from, I'm sprung

(I ain't tryin' to sober up)
Strong enough to catch contact by
You smell it as soon as you get in my ride (I don't wanna sober up)
See with me the rules never apply
Don't tell me how I should live my life (I ain't tryin' to sober up)

Put your seat back, got it if you need that
You should really fuck with me (I ain't tryin' to sober up)
Tell me if you wanna ride or die
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Listen up as a sinner reports, my inner thoughts like an inner war
Headaches act as a tremblin' force on my mental ward
Mental's distraught, every word from this sinister boss
Is brought to you by the people like your minister's Porsche
Tight ropin' on dental floss, before the haters begin to get lost
Coke and weed got my temperament off
But why would my temper get lost, when as soon as the temperature frost
I'm probably havin' intercourse in a resort
Criminal report, pricey condos at a minimal cost
My train of thought ain't as simple as yours
So, if our paths happen to incidentally cross
I pray that you can overlook all my miniature flaws
Until then let's let the bass kick
Take a shot straight, I don't see a need to chase it
Tryin' to fight the urge till there's somethin' to replace it
I welcome y'all to be my co-pilots on this spaceship

(I ain't tryin' to sober up)
Strong enough to catch contact by
You smell it as soon as you get in my ride (I don't wanna sober up)
See with me the rules never apply
Don't tell me how I should live my life (I ain't tryin' to sober up)

Put your seat back, got it if you need that
You should really fuck with me (I ain't tryin' to sober up)
Tell me if you wanna ride or die
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Yo, me and the gang would get so blunted
We'd order take out from the Chinese stores
Say make sure you bring change for a hundred, rob him, safety on the metal's off
Figured if we beat the brakes off him
Then how the fuck was he gonna pedal off?
Some live and die by the high, I was born by it
Since Pop gave my mom the needle like go on, try it
Got me feeling like ain't a nigga could harm me
So, I go and scoop a mami that wanna come join the army
She was so militant, disciplined, diligent
So, I whispered to her "Bet you wouldn't mind chillin'" and
I got to know her on my sofa
I gave her my honorable discharge and she took it like a soldier
See she the type you gotta watch when she come around
Really, she only get high so she can come down
Lost her when I said she ain't gotta settle
Once you start ahead in life, you'll be on the same level, I bet you

(I ain't tryin' to sober up)
Strong enough to catch contact by
You smell it as soon as you get in my ride (I don't wanna sober up)
See with me the rules never apply
Don't tell me how I should live my life (I ain't tryin' to sober up)

Put your seat back, got it if you need that
You should really fuck with me (I ain't tryin' to sober up)

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

When I was five, this what my father said
"I should have pulled you out and left you on your mama's waterbed"
You ask me, my papa's dead
Alcoholic genes from him since a toddler bottle fed
Put me in your stainless, I'm brainless, I'm a hollow head
(My life was the craziest), surprised I'm even walkin'
Can you blame me if I'm (Atheist)? But I ain't Stephen Hawkins
I know God is in my (Radius), I can see him often
In the face of an innocent baby but not when preacher's talkin' (Come on)
My people sleep in coffins, I miss 'em, I'm breakin' down
In the face of a bad bitch that I'm 'posed to be takin down
(Baby ridin' while I'm cryin', I'm dyin' inside
'Cause my pain is Poseidon or a giant Leviathan that I'm hidin' from the world)
They hit me with everything but the kitchen sink
How ironic, same place I vomit when I liquor drink
Apparently, I need to get a shrink
How can therapy take care of me when I don't give a fuck what niggas think?

(I ain't tryin' to sober up)
