| [00:00.574] |
|
| [00:29.977] |
I don’t know why I get high |
| [00:35.743] |
Maybe I’m trying to get closer to God |
| [00:40.289] |
God broken wings but I’m still fly |
| [00:45.422] |
Baby I’m tryna get closer, Closer to God |
| [00:50.576] |
All praise to the most high |
| [00:52.622] |
life’s a beach so I’m driving up the coastline |
| [00:54.589] |
thinking about the places where I spent the most time |
| [00:57.185] |
stayed fresher than button ups and bow ties |
| [00:59.988] |
cutting up in the church pews |
| [01:02.072] |
son of a preacher mayne momma sang blues |
| [01:04.643] |
church hymns paid the rent, momma paid dues |
| [01:06.840] |
my daddy bought him a caddy, my cousin just bang ru’s, whoop |
| [01:09.074] |
my older brother bang I.F. |
| [01:11.636] |
stumbled in the church and heard the biggest lie yet |
| [01:14.056] |
said if you love God, you’d give up the ganja |
| [01:16.218] |
long before kush, broke niggas would buy stress but umm |
| [01:19.903] |
you don’t condemn the lying and the greed |
| [01:21.850] |
if a shepherd drives sheep you need a license to lead |
| [01:24.157] |
I bought into the game, I wish I kept the receipt |
| [01:26.559] |
with the spirit in my corner I’ll never suffer defeat, what’s good |
| [01:29.699] |
I don’t know why I get high |
| [01:34.964] |
Maybe I’m trying to get closer to God |
| [01:39.644] |
God broken wings but I’m still fly |
| [01:44.760] |
Baby I’m tryna get closer, Closer to God |
| [01:49.262] |
What’s your addiction |
| [01:50.008] |
is it money, is it girls, is it trees? |
| [01:53.355] |
I can admit it |
| [01:54.541] |
I need God to keep working on me |
| [01:58.099] |
but what’s the difference if you choose to cruise through the hood in big body benzes on dees |
| [02:03.090] |
or you like to ball ‘til you fall |
| [02:04.994] |
but wouldn’t give a blanket to a nigga even if he gon’ freeze, please |
| [02:08.392] |
some drank, some smoke, some judge other people, some don’t |
| [02:13.449] |
we all buy from corporations that fund genocide militant supplies to the young cult |
| [02:17.879] |
but anyways, you don’t need trees to get a fade |
| [02:21.028] |
I get up like I saw police and hit the gate |
| [02:23.243] |
you don’t need pills to elevate |
| [02:26.526] |
just remember to stay strong and pray for better days… |
| [02:28.922] |
I don’t know why I get high |
| [02:34.327] |
Maybe I’m trying to get closer to God |
| [02:38.982] |
God broken wings but I’m still fly |
| [02:44.587] |
Baby I’m tryna get closer, Closer to God |
| [02:48.958] |
Feeling below the weather like I’m underneath a storm cloud |
| [02:51.192] |
I hear the rain, I’m praying that it keep pouring down |
| [02:53.637] |
lord knows we battle so many woes |
| [02:55.774] |
traveled so many miles our Nike souls are worn out |
| [02:58.176] |
I go to church to listen |
| [03:00.470] |
the music had me lifted, the sermon left me conflicted |
| [03:02.758] |
the one who holds the throne said cast the first stone only if you never sinned and you callin yourself a Christian |
| [03:08.621] |
well As-salāmu ʿ******* to my haters |
| [03:10.526] |
peace be unto you hypocritical instigators |
| [03:12.670] |
church players, pulpit niggas divinators |
| [03:15.686] |
I pray the congregation can march to a different cadence |
| [03:17.991] |
sparking a different strand with papers of different flavors |
| [03:20.190] |
smelling like an Outkast, hop on this elevator we gone |
| [03:23.934] |
and that’s some shit I speak on only ‘cause I been through it |
| [03:26.604] |
you preach but we live music, let’s go |
| [03:28.168] |
I don’t know why I get high |
| [03:33.150] |
Maybe I’m trying to get closer to God |
| [03:38.425] |
God broken wings but I’m still fly |
| [03:43.485] |
Baby I’m tryna get closer, Closer to God |
