Issues
3 Miles High Lyrics

Locked my keys in the car
Made a mistake that is causing inconvenience.

I spilled coffee on my shirt
Experiencing small problems that are irritating.

I’ve been late a couple times
Struggling to stay punctual.

Broke some hearts that wasn’t mine
Was involved in a situation that caused emotional pain to others.

Got a call my friend is dead
Receiving distressing news of someone's passing.

Suicide up in my head
Feeling overwhelmed with negative thoughts and emotions.

Get me a quick fix yea we want it now
Desiring an immediate solution to problems.

Long time coming hope we make you proud
Hoping to achieve something, and to do it in a way that would honor someone else.

You ain’t no different than me no
We are all the same, with similar struggles and experiences.

We got the same chemistry yea
We share commonalities that bring us together.

Air is the thing that we breathe whoa
We share the same basic needs to sustain life.

Red is the color we bleed yea yea yea
We are connected by our humanity and the fact that we all bleed the same color.

Everybody out here got issues
Everyone has problems they are facing.

Wanna live a great life
Desiring to have a fulfilling and happy life.

White picket fence on the west side yea
Symbolizing the American Dream of happiness and success.

99 problems
Referencing a famous phrase about having many issues to deal with.

Bill’s adding up can’t solve them no
Financial burdens that are becoming overwhelming.

Car got a flat tire
Experiencing unexpected setbacks.

Can’t make it to work
Feeling helpless and unable to fulfill responsibilities.

So you got fired
Suffering consequences due to circumstances outside of one's control.

Ain’t no shame in the game
It is okay to face problems and not be perfect.

Seek and you’ll fine
Encouragement to continue searching for answers and help.

He’s right by your side
Believing in a higher power's guidance and support.

You can choose to live and learn
An opportunity to grow and improve from experiences.

From your issues
Using past problems to create a stronger future.

It really don’t matter
Bad things happen, but we can overcome them.

What you’ve been through
Referencing past struggles or hardships.

Looking at both side of the spectrum
Considering multiple perspectives and viewpoints.

You can play the victim
Feeling sorry for oneself and giving up control.

Or deal with the system
Taking charge and making positive changes to overcome obstacles.

Everybody gotta different outlook
We all have different perspectives on life and its challenges.

I lift my eyes to the hills in the good book
Referencing religious faith and seeking guidance from a higher power.

The life we live is full of risk
Life is unpredictable and carries uncertainty.

The we live is full of twist yea
Life has many unexpected turns and zigzags.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Vocalization to express emotion.
