I Must Be High

When the boys are out here partying And the girls are on the dance floor dancing Tables are full of liquor but I am sipping on water. It's 4am, am silent. I must be high. When I write lines that don't rythme. When I can't finish a piece on time. When I am down, not even on talk time. I hate to admit it. But it's been a while, I am still patient. I must be high. It's my birthday, they got me a cake. A surprise party that I can't take. But this is life, it's just another check. I am concerned but I have got to consent. I must be high. Trouble looms, it's dark in my home. So I live like everyday is my last. On the streets, my age ain't safe. They shoot to kill, I am a suspect all day. I hate to admit it. I ain't free in my homeland. I must be high. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I flirt I lie. I am consistent. I am a trouble causer. I must be high. I must be high. I must be high. I am high on life.
