[00:01.23]This is called being high as shit, for hours
[00:10.17]That's the name of this song, nigga
[00:11.37]High as Shit for Hours
[00:13.78]Here we go, yeah
[00:19.83]American hypocrisy, oh, let me count the ways
[00:22.18]They came here seekin' freedom
[00:23.55]Then they end up ownin' slaves
[00:25.05]Justified it usin' Christianity which saves
[00:27.28]Religion don't mean shit, there's too much ego in the way
[00:29.83]That's why ISIS is a crisis
[00:31.22]But in reality this country do the same shit
[00:33.50]Take a life and call it righteous
[00:34.84]Remember when Bin Laden got killed, supposedly?
[00:37.15]In a hotel lobby after a show, was noticin'
[00:40.55]These white ladies watchin' CNN, coverin' the action
[00:42.51]They read the headline and then they all started clappin'
[00:45.10]As if LeBron had just scored a basket at the buzzer
[00:47.38]I stood there for a second, watched them high-five each other
[00:50.35]For real? I thought this was "Thou shalt not kill"
[00:52.39]But police still lettin' off on niggas in the Ville
[00:54.95]Claimin' that he reached for a gun
[00:56.61]They really think we dumb and got a death wish
[00:58.42]Now somebody's son is layin' breathless
[01:00.06]When I was a little boy my father lived in Texas
[01:02.63]Pulled up in Toyota, drove that bitch like it was Lexus
[01:05.20]Put my bag in his trunk and headed off for Dallas
[01:07.46]Out there for the summer, feelin' just like I was Alice
[01:10.25]Lost in the Wonderland where niggas still sufferin'
[01:12.46]Just like they was back home, and that's wrong
[01:15.13]So now it's "Fuck the government!"
[01:16.44]They see my niggas strugglin'
[01:17.74]And they don't give a fuck at all, and that's wrong, yeah
[01:20.74]The type of shit that make you wanna
[01:24.05]The type of shit that make you wanna let go
[01:26.38]The type of shit that make you wanna
[01:29.65]The type of shit that make you wanna let go
[01:30.80]I had a convo with the President, I paid to go and see him
[01:33.25]Thinkin' about the things I said I'd say when I would see him
[01:35.55]Feelin' nervous, sittin' in a room full of white folks
[01:38.14]Thinkin' about the black man plight, think I might choke
[01:40.67]Nope, raised my hand and asked a man a question
[01:43.33]Does he see the struggle of his brothers in oppression?
[01:45.60]And if so, if you got all the power in the clout
[01:47.97]As the President, what's keepin' you from helpin' niggas out?
[01:50.46]Well, I didn't say "nigga," but you catch my drift
[01:53.05]He looked me in my eyes and spoke and he was rather swift
[01:55.34]He broke the issues down and showed me he was well-aware
[01:57.82]I got the vibe he was sincere and that the brother cared
[02:00.60]But dawg, you in the chair, what's the hold up?
[02:02.39]He said, "There's things that I wanna fix
[02:04.16]But you know this shit, nigga: politics."
[02:05.80]Don't stop fightin' and don't stop believin'
[02:08.05]You can make the world better for your kids before you leave it
[02:10.64]Change is slow, always has been, always will be
[02:13.21]But fuck that, I'ma bust back 'til they kill me
[02:15.63]Change is slow, always has been, always will be
[02:18.19]But fuck that, I'ma bust back until they kill me—feel me?
[02:21.53]The type of shit that make you wanna (Aight, third verse)
[02:24.78]The type of shit that make you wanna let go
[02:27.00]The type of shit that make you wanna
[02:29.41]The type of shit that make you wanna let go
[02:31.27]Here's a thought for my revolutionary heart
[02:33.20]Take a deeper look at history, it's there to pick apart
[02:35.60]See, the people at the top, they get to do just what they want
[02:38.18]'Til after a while the people at the bottom finally get smart
[02:40.83]Then they start to holla "Revolution!"
[02:42.49]Tired of livin' here, destitution
[02:43.84]Fuck that lootin'! Can you tell me what's the best solution?
[02:46.05]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
[02:51.33]But see, it's not that simple
[02:52.80]I got to thinkin' about the history of human nature
[02:54.98]While this instrumental played
[02:56.18]Then I realized somethin' that made
[02:58.33]Me wonder if revolution was really ever the way
[03:00.60]Before you trip and throw a fit over these words I say
[03:03.20]Think about this shit for second, you heard the way
[03:05.72]The children in abusive households grow up
[03:08.05]Knockin' girlfriends out cold—that's called a cycle
[03:09.66]Abused becomes the abuser and that's just how life go
[03:12.76]So understand
[03:13.69]You get the power, but you know what power does to man?
[03:16.45]Corruption always leads us to the same shit again
[03:18.37]So when you talk 'bout revolution
[03:20.05]Dawg, I hear just what you sayin'
[03:20.78]What good is takin' over
[03:21.95]When we know what you gon' do?
[03:23.12]The only real revolution happens right inside of you
[03:25.47]I said, what good is takin' over
[03:26.78]When we know what you gon' do?
[03:28.18]The only real revolution happens right inside of you, nigga
[03:31.33]The type of shit that make you wanna (High for hours, nigga)
[03:35.35]The type of shit that make you wanna let go (Volume one)
[03:37.74]The type of shit that make you wanna
[03:39.29]The type of shit that make you wanna let go
