Otis Redding - High/Higher lyrics

[Intro: Otis Redding] We're gonna do a song That you never heard before (No, I didn't say it was me...) And this song Goes something like this (Y'all ready? One, two One, two) [Verse 1] When I was eight, in '99 My father died and I couldn't cry much I had to be strong for my mom Word 'round town, I got that bomb Word 'round town, I got that bomb Yeah, and last year my uncle died suddenly And that sh**'s been buggin' me I mean, I keep a small circle So there's only a couple people loving me And now one less, but I got that bomb Gotta light that bong to free my memories I got napalm and I hope they don't let it freeze Bump Kendrick & Dre song when I light up the trees [Sample: Kendrick Lamar "The Recipe"] The trees, the trees, the trees When I light up the trees I know you gone facepalm "Another kid smoking weed," But I do it responsibly, we all do 'Til we drive large coupes and my floors new Marble too They marvel how my super squad move Impartial to the politics, but still I'll ride through [Hook] Paparazzi lights, blind Even with shades over my eyes Retro Nuveaux 'til the day I die And lately, I had to stay high Lately, I had to stay high Yeah It's Retro Nuveaux from the Garden State When you're waking up, we're working late It's our time Break it down, but take it higher [Bridge: Otis Redding] Y'all ready? Let me kick it off man (I don't want you to kick it off...) (You ready?) Y'all ready? One, two One, two [Refrain] Nuveaux Retro Nuveaux Retro Nuveaux Retro Nuveaux [Verse 2: Terrance Moore] When they pay me Maybe I could pull this sh** together Get my mom in better weather Let her spend whatever When I'm going to work Nuveaux going on tour Making figures that could get me a condo in New York [Hook II] 'Til the day that I die Smoke weed, I had to stay high Lately, I had to stay high Lately, I had to stay high Yeah It's Retro Nuveaux from that Jersey State When you're waking up, we're working late It's our time, (Our time) [Outro] Retro Nuveaux 'til the day that I die Lately, I had to stay high Lately, I had to stay high Lately, I had to stay... [Transition] *Bong bubbling* *Coughing* Dad: Are you high?! Seth: What? No, I'm not high... Why would.. Mom: You are high as a f**ing kite! Seth: I'm not high, let's go! [Intro] Higher and higher All right now It's Retro Nuveaux [Hook: Graciela] Suspected of nothing But I'm out here chasing everything I promise I love you In my own little special way I'm making you crazy You call me your lady I don't want nothing to change Expect me to chase you And to love you And to hold you tight But it's not you I'm thinking 'bout deep in the night Can't hold my composure Just tell me we're over Can't sweep me off of my feet [Verse 1: Terrance Moore] Yeah, I'm coming down This ain't no plateau When it's rolled, let me know So that when I do flow n***as gon' know It's Retro Nuveaux Smoking blunts in the park with my pack Still tryna get on with these raps It's kinda funny, when your sh** great But it gets no play, because everybody's got a mixtape But I'm just tryna get my money, cause this rapping ain't a thing And producing ain't a thing, and the visuals are clean Yeah, we be chillin' out in Jersey, even when working Been having a hard time lately need to work on not cursing But I be stressing so much, rapping these verses ain't enough They clap to the worst sh** and I hate it, but what the f** I'm gon' do? But smoke on something and watch some cartoons I'm f**ing stuntin', I smoke & rap tunes Never do coke, my dude, that's bad news Cause you know it hurts your money and cash rules That's what Wu taught me Nuveaux the army New hoes gon' find me Older hoes they might be For the shows I'm lighting up these stages like lightning [Hook]
