Stay High
Brittany Howard Lyrics

I already feel like doing it again, honey
I want to experience that feeling of being high again because it is something special.

Cause once you know, then you know
Once you've had the high experience, you know how great it is.

And you don't wanna go
You don't want to return to your normal state after experiencing the high.

Back to wherever it is that you come from, yeah
You don't want to return to the mundane reality of your origins.

I just want to stay high with you
I want to continue experiencing the high and do it with someone else.

Cause where I come from
In the area I am from, things are not always great.

Everybody frowns and walks around
People in my area are not happy and carry around a frowning expression.

With that ugly thing on their face
This frown is not attractive and makes people appear unhappy.

And where I come from
In the area I am from,

We work hard and grind and hustle all day
People in this area have to work hard to survive every day.

(Yeah, we do)
This is a fact and cannot be denied.

There comes a time, there comes a time
At some point in time,

At night, where we get to play
People have a brief period of time to relax at night and enjoy themselves.

And we smile and laugh and jump and clap
During this time, people are very happy and expressive with their emotions.

And yell and holler and just feel great
People are not afraid to let out their emotions and express themselves.

I just want to stay high with you
Returning to the feeling of being high is desirable.

So, don't question my state of mind
Do not doubt my mental state.

I'm doing wonderful, just fine, thank you
I am doing very well.

(Thank you)
Thank you for your concern.

Everything is everything and everything is beautiful
Everything is as it should be and is beautiful.

(How did you get like that?)
You may wonder how I became this way.

See all I do is keep it cool and don't worry 'bout what everyone is doing
I remain calm and do not concern myself with what others are doing.

I already feel like doing it again, honey
Repeating the high experience is desirable.

I just want to stay high
The desire to continue the high experience remains.

I just want to stay high
This desire is expressed again.

I just want to stay high with you
Experiencing the high with someone else is desirable.
