Pouya - What I Was Told** lyrics

[Verse 1] We can get along but I'll still keep the piece to keep the beast away from me I know he's waiting patiently for me to arrive I survived so many nights and my torturous ways So really it's myself the one that should be afraid I walk a tight rope between God and the reaper and I'm ready For either, but they leave it up to me to choose my path I got this wrath inside my chest, and it's burning, don't get rest Sometimes I feel like it's a test but rest assure I know therе's more To life than this, you blink, you miss Next thing you know you'rе deep in sh*t Thinking about the things you could've done different I know we wish upon the stars but know they way too far When do we give up? When that liquor don't give you hiccups And those pills don't get your dick hard [Chorus] Why do we get high? To balance out the lows Why do we sit by and watch the world implode? Not getting younger and that's getting really old Sit down, watch it unfold, 'cause that's what I was told Why do we get high? To balance out the lows Why do we sit by and watch the world implode? Not getting younger and that's getting really old Sit down, watch it unfold, 'cause that's what I was told [Verse 2] Get your diploma, go to college, you might be somebody You hang with bums, you might become a boy, just think about it Can't go too far with shackles on your feet, connected to the weakest link In your crew, the homie bad, the homie down The homie bad, the homie down, just let me swim or make me drown You surround yourself with clowns, well, what that make you? (Yuh-yuh, yuh) Got a lot to go around but when that bank account drown No one is to be found so what's that tell you? (Yuh-yuh, yuh) [Chorus] Why do we get high? To balance out the lows Why do we sit by and watch the world implode? Not getting younger and that's getting really old Sit down, watch it unfold, 'cause that's what I was told Why do we get high? To balance out the lows Why do we sit by and watch the world implode? Not getting younger and that's getting really old Sit down, watch it unfold, 'cause that's what I was told [Verse 3] I lock myself in my room every night with my pistol grip tight Fightin' demons left and right, with all my mind I might convince myself that I'm the chosen one for everyone to leech off But fu*k that, I can't be the one to feed all (Yuh-yuh, yuh) No, you won't be takin' advantage, need a Xanax for the damage To the canvas of my life, I gotta manage (Ayy, ayy, yuh-yuh) Step to the side if you ain't ridin' with me, b*tch, I need someone I could come [?] with no judgment or passive-aggressiveness [Chorus] Why do we get high? To balance out the lows Why do we sit by and watch the world implode? Not getting younger and that's getting really old Sit down, watch it unfold, 'cause that's what I was told Why do we get high? To balance out the lows Why do we sit by and watch the world implode? Not getting younger and that's getting really old Sit down, watch it unfold, 'cause that's what I was told [Outro] Why do we get high? To balance out the lows Why do we sit by and watch the world implode? Not getting younger and that's getting really old Sit down, watch it unfold, 'cause that's what I was told
