Ricky - The High Life lyrics

Seem like my whole life changed in the last year At parties with legends like "what the f** I'm doing here?" Waiting for someone to say "what the f** you doing here?" Until I realized that I belonged, had nothing to fear Who would've thought I would mingle with celebrity singles In a room full of Grammy winners discussing they singles Some people love you, some people hate you, some people need you Some people act like they know you but they can't even read you The effort I put into music still the same amount Cause ain't a damn thing changed 'cept the bank account I remember the day I got my advance money I'm talkin so much bread, this sh** will make you dance money It was the first thing I did, got my team out the way and then I got myself a crib My boy Lenny gave me a place to stay for a year Put food in my stomach, I had nothing to fear And once that 365 was up, I told him to quit his job and gave him a new career So many rappers on that stupid superstar sh** But I plan to eat with the people I starved with I've made money, I've lost money, I've spent money I've slept outside due to lack of the rent money I've been in love but having been through a lot of pain Cause what the f** is sunshine without a little rain? And love is like leaves in the fall Cause some people get scared and leave and you fall Speaking of which, I met this girl the other day The type of girl that make the pain fade away And I have a feeling she gon' be my next Cause she make me forget all about my ex I'm talking something that's deeper than just s** But I don't want it to be the 3rd letter in the word next Always sold in the sea of love I'm just not current, none of the above And man f** all that depressing sh** Let's get this money and f** these b**hes, you know what I'm sayin? Sike nah, you all just know that I'm playin Cause all the money you possess ain't what makes you a man Big shot, tough guy, blow 100 grand But you still in the same place, damn But man the world is so fascinating Ambition got these girls gravitating And honestly it strokes the ego But beautiful women ain't good for nothing except procrastinating I got a show in Paris coming up Followed by London, I'm a tear it up So many people just don't care enough an*lyzing faces in the crowd staring up What's the difference between me and them? How come I ain't in the crowd at they show seeing them? What do guys see in me that he ain't see in them? Cause honestly I see no difference between me and them We all people, all equal, we all the same Lookin for control tryna play the game We all got issues, just different magazines We all sleep but have different dreams However once you're awake and you life ain't what it seems And that's the reason I'm living within my own dream Hell yea, f** 'em all, like I'm runnin from you the law Haters probably think they faze me, I'm like no, not at all I'm too high up, not to fall Like a sphere, b**h I ball Never asked me what my team make 'cause you know I brought em all And if you're looking for a problem then we can get it solved I just k** them with kindness, keep it [?] the dissolve You got b**hes, I got Bobby Soxer girls that be ride or die A shawty on another level, let me catch a vibe Super bad girl, IQ is in the sky She graduated cum laude, yo b**h went to DeVry God damn, oh girl, she a go getta At the party takin shots like a Beretta Doing anything and everything to feel better And now she in the crib getting high like a falsetto How you feeling, I be yelling, "why these motherf**ers grilling?" And she give me life 'cause I'm making a k**ing Bring it down, do it slow, show me how that really go Girl I'm new in town, I don't really know They be like, when you gonna tell me that you love me? I be like b**h I gotta hit the studio, ho Now she got me on the crib, talkin that she wanna do it Kinda up on the dresser looking at me like there ain't nothing to it Thinking should I do it though I don't even know though I don't even know the ho I don't even know though [Ricky:] Say oh oh oh Mama I made it You cannot tell me no but the young boy made a way Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh I said oh oh oh oh oh
