[00:00.00]This is called being high as *****t, for hours
[00:08.46]That's the name of this song, *****
[00:11.91]"High as *****t for Hours"
[00:13.03]Here we go, yeah
[00:17.90]American hypocrisy, oh, let me count the ways
[00:22.40]They came here seekin' freedom then they end up ownin' slaves
[00:25.12]Justified it usin' Christianity which saves
[00:27.32]Religion don't mean *****t, there's too much ego in the way
[00:29.80]That's why ISIS is a crisis
[00:31.35]But in reality this country do the same *****t, take a life and call it righteous
[00:35.09]Remember when Bin Laden got killed, supposedly?
[00:37.26]In a hotel lobby after a show, was noticin'
[00:39.93]These white ladies watchin' CNN, coverin' the action
[00:42.40]They read the headline and then they all started clappin'
[00:44.82]As if LeBron had just scored a basket at the buzzer
[00:47.72]I stood there for a second, watched them high-five each other
[00:50.02]For real? I thought this was "Thou shalt not kill"
[00:52.54]But police still lettin' off on *****s in the Ville
[00:54.89]Claimin' that he reached for a gun, they really think we dumb and got a death wish
[00:58.16]Now somebody's son is layin' breathless
[01:00.32]When I was a little boy my father lived in Texas
[01:02.55]Pulled up in Toyota, drove that ***** like it was Lexus
[01:05.05]Put my bag in his trunk and headed off for Dallas
[01:07.60]Out there for the summer, feelin' just like I was Alice
[01:10.12]Lost in the Wonderland where *****s still sufferin'
[01:12.66]Just like they was back home, and that's wrong
[01:14.97]So now it's "***** the government!" They see my *****s strugglin'
[01:17.80]And they don't give a ***** at all, and that's wrong, yeah
[01:20.65]The type of *****t that make you wanna
[01:23.23]The type of *****t that make you wanna let go
[01:26.07]The type of *****t that make you wanna
[01:28.47]The type of *****t that make you wanna let go
[01:30.99]I had a convo with the President, I paid to go and see him
[01:32.94]Thinkin' about the things I said I'd say when I would see him
[01:35.24]Feelin' nervous, sittin' in a room full of white folks
[01:37.93]Thinkin' about the black man plight, think I might choke
[01:40.51]Nope, raised my hand and asked a man a question
[01:42.96]Does he see the struggle of his brothers in oppression?
[01:45.29]And if so, if you got all the power in the clout
[01:47.64]As the President, what's keepin' you from helpin' *****s out?
[01:50.23]Well, I didn't say "*****," but you catch my drift
[01:52.52]He looked me in my eyes and spoke and he was rather swift
[01:54.91]He broke the issues down and showed me he was well-aware
[01:57.40]I got the vibe he was sincere and that the brother care
[01:59.87]But dawg, you in the chair, what's the hold up?
[02:01.98]He said there's things that I wanna fix
[02:03.86]But you know this *****t, *****: politics
[02:05.61]Don't stop fightin' and don't stop believin'
[02:07.80]You can make the world better for your kids before you leave it
[02:10.36]Change is slow, always has been, always will be
[02:13.05]But ***** that, I'ma bust back 'til they kill me
[02:15.76]Change is slow, always has been, always will be
[02:17.97]But ***** that, I'ma bust back until they kill me—feel me?
[02:21.20]The type of *****t that make you wanna (Aight, third verse)
[02:23.97]The type of *****t that make you wanna let go
[02:26.45]The type of *****t that make you wanna
[02:28.42]The type of *****t that make you wanna let go
[02:31.37]Here's a thought for my revolutionary heart
[02:33.04]Take a deeper look at history, it's there to pick apart
[02:35.51]See, the people at the top, they get to do just what they want
[02:37.90]'Till after a while the people at the bottom finally get smart
[02:40.26]Then they start to holla "Revolution!" Tired of livin' here, destitution
[02:43.90]***** that lootin'! Can you tell me what's the best solution?
[02:45.98]I used to think it was to overthrow oppressors, see
[02:48.49]If we destroy the system, that means we'll have less of greed
[02:50.92]But see, it's not that simple
[02:52.73]I got to thinkin' about the history of human nature while this instrumental
[02:55.78]Played, then I realized somethin' that made
[02:57.98]Me wonder if revolution was really ever the way
[03:00.13]Before you trip and throw a fit over these words I say
[03:02.90]Think about this *****t for second, you heard the way
[03:05.19]The children in abusive households
[03:07.41]Grow up knockin' girlfriends out cold
[03:09.24]That's called a cycle
[03:10.24]Abused becomes the abuser and that's just how life go
[03:12.47]So understand
[03:13.44]Look at the power, but you know what power does to man?
[03:15.48]Corruption always leads us to the same *****t again
[03:17.94]So when you talk 'bout revolution, dawg, I hear just what you sayin'
[03:20.74]What good is takin' over
[03:22.08]When we know what you gonna do?
[03:23.43]The only real revolution happens right inside of you
[03:25.65]I said, what good is takin' over
[03:26.92]When we know what you gonna do?
[03:28.55]The only real revolution happens right inside of you, *****
[03:31.44]The type of *****t that make you wanna (High for hours, *****)
[03:35.02]The type of *****t that make you wanna let go (Volume one)
[03:37.32]The type of *****t that make you wanna
[03:38.82]The type of *****t that make you wanna let go
