[00:00.00]This is called being high as b***h, for hour
[00:08.46]That's the name of this song, b***h
[00:11.91]High as b***h for Hour
[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 shit, there's too much ego in the wa
[00:29.80]That's why ISIS is a crisis
[00:31.35]But in reality this country do the same shit, take a life and call it righteou
[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 niggas in the Vill
[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 shit like it was Lexu
[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 niggas 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 niggas strugglin
[01:17.80]And they don't give a shit at all, and that's wrong, yea
[01:20.65]The type of shit that make you wann
[01:23.23]The type of shit that make you wann let go
[01:26.07]The type of shit that make you wann
[01:28.47]The type of shit that make you wann 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' niggas out
[01:50.23]Well, I didn't say 'shit,' 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 shit, b***h: polit
[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 m
[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 shit that make you wann (Aight, third verse)
[02:23.97]The type of shit that make you wann let go
[02:26.45]The type of shit that make you wann
[02:28.42]The type of shit that make you wann 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 shit for second, you heard the wa
[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 shit agai
[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, b***h
[03:31.44]The type of shit that make you wann (High for hours, ****
[03:35.02]The type of shit that make you wann let go (Volume one)
[03:37.32]The type of shit that make you wann

This is called being high as b***h, for hour
That's the name of this song, b***h
High as b***h for Hour
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 wa
That's why ISIS is a crisis
