I can't shake this monkey on my back (back) All that black clout, follow a n***a where im at Now isn't that wild? (wiiiild) of course I'll die and live my life high, deep inside im lost And this show is showing, my people knowin' I'm dead Walkie-talking to my homies wit' a bullet in my head (bullet in my head) Still breathing, all my real G's leaving Me, no choice, but to feed these demons With murder and liquor in the mist drama n***as never heard of Twist it, makin' it hard, even to listen to my mama, don't cry When it's time for this n***a to die Call it Novakane, ain't no more pain in the sky (get high) [Chorus 2x] Some people ask why (why?), why we get high (high) Doctor give me something for this pain, I need some Novakane (Novakane) Stimulate my brain (brain) escape to a higher plain Hennessy, ty weed, it's all the same, we call it Novakane (what you call it?) [2nd verse: Noble] Watchin' time pa** by my eye, that's why you always see me high From this life that I was given it's like I'm livin' to die Pa** by my old hood it's all good, but it's dry Tryin' to stray away from crime, these n***as ridin', but they blind Nothin' in my hood, but dope, coke and herb smoke (got that coke, n***a, got that coke, n***a!) Blowin' out all nerves, ghost, sittin' on the curb broke Pockets lapped out, I thought you had it all mapped out (damn..) Too far gone to back out South on a Novakane route In and out the system prisons be wishing a n***a visit I'm too young for this dumb sh**, Novakane make me numb quick Lord could ya, would ya help me, this crooked world won't accept me But I proceed to get high, so just let me Lost in the game (damn!) Novakane go to pain The whole world looking strange To me, get me high, Novakane [Chorus 2x] Some people ask why (why?) why we get high? Doctor give me something for this pain, I need some Novakane (Novakane) Stimulate my brain (brain) escape to a higher plain Hennessy, ty weed, it's all the same (what we call it?) we call it Novakane [3d verse: E.D.I.] I lights up a Newport Express my true thoughts Put it down on paper Got a dubsack, save it for later (got that blood, n***a) And now I'm herb crumblin' This words stumblin' up out my brain Get a hold of that damn thang, to release the game It destroys my brain, but I can't complain 'Cuz best believe, when I turn out the frame, I left feeling no pain And on that note I came to the world high as dope So how you think I'm gonna leave when Novakane holding me? Tightly, that's how my blunts get rolled up Quickly, hurry and light that sh** before I go nuts, hold up Before you take a sip of that liquor (aiyo n***a, pour some of that sh** out, n***a) You best to pour some more of that sh** out for yo n***as (Makaveli) 'Cuz look, I breaks bread where homies livin' the dead (deal it) We all need this sh**, reminisce, squeeze the '5th And Jesus, couldn't deliver me from the pain (pain) 'Cuz when I called him, he told me to get at Novakane (Novakane) [Chorus 2x] Some people ask why (why?) why we get high?
