lyrics

Funky as the juice dripping out of her cooch, I'd still slurp it
And I'm a feminist, ain't nobody here perfect
I get as high as the roof but stay surfaced
And grounded in my search for the truth like it's got purpose
Cause, life's a cruel joke and I'm not sure it's worth this
But I tried and suicide's not something to flirt with
So take a five, cause if you're here then you deserve this
And who am I to try and get by on these universes
This is what we make of it, make it great or make it shit
Keep on writing songs, right or wrong someday you'll make a hit
And even if you don't at least you tried instead of faking it
Cause everybody here lives in fear of never making shit
So take a number, get on line and keep your head high
Cause sometimes we confuse blues with trying to get by
And then we get angry, get drunk and get high
When all we had to do was stay focused on how to get live

We could get higher
Yeah we all need, trying to be more free and then we feed our greed
Yo we could get higher
Trying to G O D, but motherfuckers gonna just OD
Yo we could get higher
Trying to find some love, and looking for it in a bottle or a garden above
Yo we could get higher
Trying to be more free, shit I'm just trying to be more me

Check it, I'm not somebody that you heard about
I'm not like herpes, I ain't spreading round by word of mouth
I'm barely trying shit I'm walking with the curtains out
I think I'm in a rap club living in Tyler Durdens house
All I do is get high and make a mess of shit
But deep down know there's something better on the precipice
I want true love, one that's almost effortless
I'm sick of playing Tinder, always looking for a better fish
I know I need to love myself to see those benefits
But that there is hard and my self love's erectionless
Real talk I'm trying to get my self love's dick up
So I'm not just a slave to these emotions and these hiccups
I know this ain't a game, I'm overcoming my shame
Not just pointing fingers looking for someone to blame
I'm looking deeper inside, past my ego and pride
And think that what I'm gonna find is gonna help me break chains

And get higher
Yeah we all need, trying to be more free and then we feed our greed
Yo we could get higher
Trying to G O D, but motherfuckers gonna just OD
Yo we could get higher
Trying to find some love, and looking for it in a bottle or a garden above
Yo we could get higher
Trying to be more free, shit I'm just trying to be more me
