High For Hours

J. Cole High For Hours - High For Hours
공유하기
This is called being high
as shit, for hours
That's the name of
this song, nigga
High as Shit for Hours
Here we go, yeah

American hypocrisy,
oh, let me count the ways
They came here
seekin' freedom
Then they end up
ownin' slaves
Justified it usin'
Christianity which saves
Religion don't mean shit,
there's too much
ego in the way
That's why ISIS is a crisis
But in reality this country
do the same shit
Take a life and call it righteous
Remember when Bin Laden
got killed, supposedly
In a hotel lobby after a show,
was noticin'
These white ladies watchin'
CNN, coverin' the action
They read the headline and
then they all started clappin'
As if LeBron had just scored
a basket at the buzzer
I stood there for a second,
watched them high
five each other
For real I thought this was
Thou shalt not kill
But police still lettin' off
on niggas in the Ville
Claimin' that he reached
for a gun
They really think we
dumb and got a death wish
Now somebody's son is
layin' breathless
When I was a little boy
my father lived in Texas
Pulled up in Toyota,
drove that bitch like it
was Lexus
Put my bag in his trunk
and headed off for Dallas
Out there for the summer,
feelin' just like I was Alice
Lost in the Wonderland
where niggas still sufferin'
Just like they was back home,
and that's wrong
So now it's Fuck the government
They see my niggas strugglin'
And they don't give a fuck at all,
and that's wrong, yeah

The type of shit that
make you wanna
The type of shit that
make you wanna let go
The type of shit that
make you wanna
The type of shit that
make you wanna let go

I had a convo with
the President,
I paid to go and see him
Thinkin' about the things
I said I'd say when I would see him
Feelin' nervous, sittin'
in a room full of white folks
Thinkin' about the black
man plight, think I might choke
Nope, raised my hand and
asked a man a question
Does he see the struggle
of his brothers in oppression
And if so, if you got
all the power in the clout
As the President,
what's keepin' you
from helpin' niggas out
Well, I didn't say nigga,
but you catch my drift
He looked me in my eyes
and spoke and
he was rather swift
He broke the issues down
and showed me
he was well aware
I got the vibe he was sincere
and that the brother cared
But dawg, you in the chair,
what's the hold up
He said, There's things
that I wanna fix
But you know this shit,
nigga politics
Don't stop fightin' and
don't stop believin'
You can make the world
better for your kids
before you leave it
Change is slow,
always has been,
always will be
But fuck that, I'ma bust back
'til they kill me
Change is slow,
always has been,
always will be
But fuck that,
I'ma bust back until
they kill me feel me

The type of shit that
make you wanna Aight,
third verse
The type of shit that
make you wanna let go
The type of shit that
make you wanna
The type of shit that
make you wanna let go

Here's a thought
for my revolutionary heart
Take a deeper look at history,
it's there to pick apart
See, the people at the top,
they get to do just
what they want
'Til after a while the people
at the bottom finally get smart
Then they start
to holla Revolution
Tired of livin' here, destitution
Fuck that lootin'
Can you tell me
what's the best solution
I used to think it was to overthrow oppressors, see
If we destroy the system,
that means we'll have
less of greed
But see, it's not that simple
I got to thinkin'
about the history of
human nature
While this instrumental played
Then I realized somethin'
that made
Me wonder if revolution
was really ever the way
Before you trip and throw
a fit over these words I say
Think about this shit for
a second, you heard the way
The children in abusive
households grow up
Knockin' girlfriends out
cold that's called a cycle
Abused becomes the
abuser and that's
just how life go
So understand
You get the power,
but you know what power
does to man
Corruption always leads us
to the same shit again
So when you talk
'bout revolution
Dawg, I hear just
what you sayin'
What good is takin' over
When we know
what you gon' do
The only real revolution
happens right inside of you
I said, what good is takin' over
When we know
what you gon' do
The only real revolution
happens right
inside of you, nigga

The type of shit that
make you wanna
High for hours, nigga
The type of shit that
make you wanna
let go Volume one
The type of shit that
make you wanna
The type of shit that
make you wanna let go
