Pouya - Why Do We Get High? lyrics

We can get along but I'll still keep the
Piece to keep the beast away from me
I know he's waiting patiently
For me to arrive
I survived so many nights
And my torturous ways
So really it's myself the one
That should be afraid
I walk a tight rope between God
And the reaper and I'm ready
For either
But they leave it up to me to choose my path
I got this wrath inside my
Chest, and it's burning
Don't get rest
Sometimes I feel like it's a test but
Rest assure I know there's more
To life than this, you blink, you miss
Next thing you know you're deep in shit
Thinking about the things you
Could've done different
I know we wish upon the stars
But know they way too far
When do we give up? When that
Liquor don't give you hiccups
And those pills don't get your dick hard

Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
Not getting younger and that's
Getting really old
Sit down, watch it unfold
'cause that's what I was told
Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
Not getting younger and that's
Getting really old
Sit down, watch it unfold
'cause that's what I was told

Get your diploma, go to college
You might be somebody
You hang with bums, you
Might become one, boy
Just think about it
Can't go too far with shackles on your feet
Connected to the weakest link
In your crew
(Don't hold me back, don't hold me down)
Don't hold me back, don't hold me down
Just let me swim or make me drown
You surround yourself with clowns, well
What that make you?
Got a lot to go around but
When that bank account drown
No one is to be found
So what's that tell you?

Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
Not getting younger and that's
Getting really old
Sit down, watch it unfold
'cause that's what I was told
Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
Not getting younger and that's
Getting really old
Sit down, watch it unfold
'cause that's what I was told

I lock myself in my room every
Night with my pistol grip tight
Fightin' demons left and right
With all my might
I might convince myself that I'm the chosen
One for everyone to leech off
But fuck that
I can't be the one to feed all
No, you won't be takin' advantage
Need a Xanax for the damage
To the canvas of my life, I gotta manage
Step to the side if you
Ain't ridin' with me, bitch
I need someone
I could confide in with
No judgment or passive-aggressiveness

Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
Not getting younger and that's
Getting really old
Sit down, watch it unfold
'cause that's what I was told
Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
Not getting younger and that's
Getting really old
Sit down, watch it unfold
'cause that's what I was told
Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
Not getting younger and that's
Getting really old
Sit down, watch it unfold
'cause that's what I was told
Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
Not getting younger and that's
Getting really old
Sit down, watch it unfold
'cause that's what I was told

Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
(Yuh-yuh, yuh)
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
(Yuh-yuh, yuh)
Not getting younger and that's
Getting really old
(Yuh, yuh)
Sit down, watch it unfold
'cause that's what I was told
(Ayy, ayy, yuh-yuh, yuh)
Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
(Yuh-yuh, yuh)
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
(Yuh-yuh, yuh)
Not getting younger and that's
Getting really old
(Yuh, yuh)
Sit down, watch it unfold
'cause that's what I was told
(Ayy, ayy, yuh-yuh)

Liberate your mind and soon
The soul will follow
Gotta keep my tips hollow
And my dick swallowed
Drowning in my sorrows, praying for tomorrow
Flying down the I9 like OJ in the Branco
For the love of money, yeah, I need it pronto
The fame is overrated and, quite frankly
Hard to handle
Way too many situations tend
To turn to scandals
You can't bury me with lies, bitch
So put away them candles
Yuh

Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
(Yuh-yuh, yuh)
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
(Yuh-yuh, yuh)
Not getting younger and that's
Getting really old
(Yuh, yuh)
Sit down, watch it unfold
'cause that's what I was told
(Ayy, ayy, yuh-yuh, yuh)
Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
(Yuh-yuh, yuh)
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
(Yuh-yuh, yuh)
Not getting younger and that's
Getting really old
(Yuh, yuh)
Sit down, watch it unfold
'cause that's what I was told
(Ayy, ayy, yuh-yuh)

Race against the clock, we die for drop tops
Long walks in flip flops, out the dark
Into the light
In spite of everything I did wrong
I hope they singing my song
When I'm long gone
I hope I make it through the
Long haul that we call life
When it come to this rap shit
I got the Midas Touch
I'm like Kobe clutch with the .40 tucked
'Cause I can never trust nobody
Even second-guess myself
Keep my eyes wide open, yuh
I keep my eyes wide open

Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
(Yuh-yuh, yuh)
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
(Yuh-yuh, yuh)
Not getting younger and that's
Getting really old
(Yuh, yuh)
Sit down, watch it unfold
'cause that's what I was told
(Ayy, ayy, yuh-yuh, yuh)
Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
(Yuh-yuh, yuh)
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
(Yuh-yuh, yuh)
Not getting younger and that's
Getting really old
(Yuh, yuh)
Sit down, watch it unfold
'cause that's what I was told
(Ayy, ayy, yuh-yuh)

Why do we get high? Get-get high, get-
Why do we get high? Get-get high, get-
Why do we-
Why do we get high?
