Taz Taylor - Gotta Stay High lyrics

[Verse 1: Lloyd Maz] When I'm gone in the night Reminiscing in my mind Tryna' live a different life I think about the sh** that made me from the very beginning When I was just a little kid with a mic So I turn off the light Smoke a little bit of weed to get me higher than a kite Now these people wanna tell me I can't rap cause I'm white? Middle finger in the air because I'm strapped for the fight Now I'm soaring, flying Saying I don't have a shot quit trying But I'm still that little kid with the heart of a lion Don't wanna let me in the game? well I'm prying Cause I'm a musical prodigy With a demon stuck inside of me Won't ever fall a victim to the reverse psychology Spit it raw so shove it up your a**, a lyrical sodomy Here to take the crown So you can wave your hand and say goodbye to me How am I supposed to live in a cold world Where I'm buying Mickie dees with dimes I'm running outta time Gotta make some money so I contemplate committing crimes Praying for the reaper but he doesn't seem to hear my cries And the tears that are falling from my eyes Cause the sh** in my past I couldn't find a way to realize I was f**ing losing the girl I love! But you're gone and I gotta stay! [Verse 2: Lloyd Maz] Living life losing every bit of headroom Me and hoodie tryna' get up out this bedroom Cause we know where this dream can take us Knowing that this all can either make or break us In a cold world underdogs prevail So I'm telling you you're never gonna see me fail Imma' spend my whole life chasing after fairy tales That's what they always told me, but I never seemed to care And I wanna thank my grandma so much You saved my life and I won't ever lose touch When I'm hitting every state, riding in a tour bus Showing those who doubted me that everything I see is plush You could never lead this life of mine Trying to survive, blinded by the 9 to 5 Every person that I loved left me out to dry While I'm having feelings thinking that I'd rather die Some days I'm wining, losing After all the hard times still moving Sticking in my own lane and I'm cruising What they said I couldn't do I've disproven And they tried to tell me love is blind But now I've got some bigger things in mind Still I won't forget that day you left And I felt that door slam closed behind But you're gone and I gotta stay!
