[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Hahh, hahh
Uh

[Verse]
High off life since I put down the Mary Jane
But things fall down like planes do nowadays
Still like the terminator, wake up, I annihilate
I don't need no terps, bae, brain still working
Tired of being tied down to things like an earthling
All we got is time that we waste on the worst things
Damn, it's feeling impossible to advance
'Cause we buzzed off depressants, never present when we stand
Took a glance of the true potential of the land
Yeah, we all fear Christ but I wanna be the man
Like Mike, I don't truly see no difference
But they never advertise the power that's within
Instead media focus on the next trend
Or who's the next diss
Who got the biggest clout and who you slept with
Ain't fuckin' with that crowd, man, I had to exit
And focus on the now, tryna really exist
But somehow I get right back
Like I took the wrong path, I was too distracted
I guess it's time to get the pack lit
No matter where I go, yeah, I always find my way back
Something 'bout the soul 'cause it know where it's place at
Fuck playing roles, I don't know how to act
Man, I feel for the globe 'cause we caught up in a cast
Feed us all lies, from the fetus, we was trapped
Give us nine‐to‐five's, that we hate, for the cash
Poison our food 'til we end in a casket
Still we just follow, we hard headed bastards
We got the proof but we still goin' backwards
Shit, I'm about to just roll me this Backwood
(roll me this Backwood) (roll me this Backwood)
[Chorus]
I'm high up on my cloud, yeah
Shit fire like Dhaslim
I'm focused on the now, yeah
Ain't thinking about problems
I always find my way back
Like GPS routing
I try hard to escape but I still end up grounded
High up on my clouds, yeah
Shit fire like Dhaslim
I'm focused on the now, yeah
Ain't thinking about problems
I always find my way back
Like GPS routing
I try hard to escape but I still end up grounded
