High/Higher by Terrance Moore Lyrics
[Intro: Otis Redding]
We're gonna do a song
That you never heard before
(No, I didn't say it was me...)
And this song
Goes something like this
(Y'all ready?
One, two
One, two)
[Verse 1]
When I was eight, in '99
My father died and I couldn't cry much
I had to be strong for my mom
Word 'round town, I got that bomb
Word 'round town, I got that bomb
Yeah, and last year my uncle died suddenly
And that shit's been buggin' me
I mean, I keep a small circle
So there's only a couple people loving me
And now one less, but I got that bomb
Gotta light that bong to free my memories
I got napalm and I hope they don't let it freeze
Bump Kendrick & Dre song when I light up the trees
[Sample: Kendrick Lamar "The Recipe"]
The trees, the trees, the trees
When I light up the trees
I know you gone facepalm
"Another kid smoking weed,"
But I do it responsibly, we all do
'Til we drive large coupes and my floors new
Marble too
They marvel how my super squad move
Impartial to the politics, but still I'll ride through
[Hook]
Paparazzi lights, blind
Even with shades over my eyes
Retro Nuveaux 'til the day I die
And lately, I had to stay high
Lately, I had to stay high
Yeah
It's Retro Nuveaux from the Garden State
When you're waking up, we're working late
It's our time
Break it down, but take it higher
[Bridge: Otis Redding]
Y'all ready?
Let me kick it off man
(I don't want you to kick it off...)
(You ready?)
Y'all ready?
One, two
One, two
[Refrain]
Nuveaux
Retro Nuveaux
Retro Nuveaux
Retro Nuveaux
[Verse 2: Terrance Moore]
When they pay me
Maybe I could pull this shit together
Get my mom in better weather
Let her spend whatever
When I'm going to work
Nuveaux going on tour
Making figures that could get me a condo in New York
[Hook II]
'Til the day that I die
Smoke weed, I had to stay high
Lately, I had to stay high
Lately, I had to stay high
Yeah
It's Retro Nuveaux from that Jersey State
When you're waking up, we're working late
It's our time, (Our time)
[Outro]
Retro Nuveaux 'til the day that I die
Lately, I had to stay high
Lately, I had to stay high
Lately, I had to stay...
[Transition]
*Bong bubbling*
*Coughing*
Dad:
Are you high?!
Seth:
What?
No, I'm not high...
Why would..
Mom:
You are high as a fucking kite!
Seth:
I'm not high, let's go!
[Intro]
Higher and higher
All right now
It's Retro Nuveaux
[Hook: Graciela]
Suspected of nothing
But I'm out here chasing everything
I promise I love you
In my own little special way
I'm making you crazy
You call me your lady
I don't want nothing to change
Expect me to chase you
And to love you
And to hold you tight
But it's not you I'm thinking 'bout deep in the night
Can't hold my composure
Just tell me we're over
Can't sweep me off of my feet
[Verse 1: Terrance Moore]
Yeah, I'm coming down
This ain't no plateau
When it's rolled, let me know
So that when I do flow
Niggas gon' know
It's Retro Nuveaux
Smoking blunts in the park with my pack
Still tryna get on with these raps
It's kinda funny, when your shit great
But it gets no play, because everybody's got a mixtape
But I'm just tryna get my money, cause this rapping ain't a thing
And producing ain't a thing, and the visuals are clean
Yeah, we be chillin' out in Jersey, even when working
Been having a hard time lately need to work on not cursing
But I be stressing so much, rapping these verses ain't enough
They clap to the worst shit and I hate it, but what the fuck I'm gon' do?
But smoke on something and watch some cartoons
I'm fucking stuntin', I smoke & rap tunes
Never do coke, my dude, that's bad news
Cause you know it hurts your money and cash rules
That's what Wu taught me
Nuveaux the army
New hoes gon' find me
Older hoes they might be
For the shows I'm lighting up these stages like lightning
[Hook]
We're gonna do a song
