The Hangover
Classified Lyrics

Dark rum, chased by bad dreams
Drinking heavily to escape reality and the bad thoughts that come along with it

Intoxicate my soul for these goals and mad schemes
Using alcohol as a way to fuel creativity and grand plans

I'm.. alright, it's gon' be a hell of a night again
Despite the potential consequences, excited for another wild and crazy night

I'm jus' tryin'a write again 'bout things that are right within
Writing lyrics that come from a genuine and personal place

Man, this the life, i don't ever want this night to end
Enjoying the lavish lifestyle that comes with being a successful musician

Who am i kidding? I just do this to excite my friends..
Admitting that the partying is more for show and impressing others rather than personal enjoyment

See my music's like a voice for my sins,
Using music as a way to confess and come to terms with past mistakes

For my redemption, I'm like fuck it and just.. binge
Choosing to indulge in vices rather than actively work towards redemption

'cause life's like the best nights and the worst days
Contrasting the highs and lows of life

Frequent fights 'cause you missed your wifes birthday
The stress and strain on relationships caused by an artist's busy lifestyle

Lose friends but gain many acquaintances,
The superficial nature of friendships in the music industry

Fake as shit, and always up in ya face with it,
People who pretend to be friends for personal gain or exposure

But I ain't even see it
Unaware of the true motives and intentions of others

Dawg, I'm in that zone
Fully immersed in the partying lifestyle and ignoring outside opinions or concerns

They keep tellin' me, "man, just leave that shit alone"
Friends and family urging the artist to slow down or quit the lifestyle

But naw, dread, see life's a celebration...
Justifying the excessive partying and viewing life as a constant celebration

I need that hangover, that's when the pain's over, so..
Believing that the hangover is a necessary price to pay for the enjoyable and exciting experiences the night before

Now on the road to life,
Embarking on the journey of life as a musician

I mean life on the road..
Traveling extensively for performances and appearances

It's hard to wake up every morning and get on the go
The physical and mental toll of constantly moving and performing

But vamanos, get up!
Pushing past exhaustion and getting ready for the day

I love the job I chose
Despite the hardships and challenges, the artist is grateful for the career path they have chosen

We party every night, maybe that's the wrong approach..
Acknowledging that the excessive partying may not be the healthiest or most sustainable way to live

But what do I know?
Uncertainty and confusion about what the best course of action is

I just know my body's sore,
Physical exhaustion from constant travel and performance

My head's splittin',
Suffering from headaches and possibly even hangovers

And my driver's at the lobby doors
The constant waiting and pressure to stay on schedule

My crew's waitin' for me, tonight's another town
The never-ending cycle of traveling from show to show

I just gotta get some rest before I shut it down
Recognizing the importance of self-care and rest despite the hectic schedule

Pick it up, show time
Getting ready for the performance despite physical exhaustion and discomfort

Tonight I'll take it easy,
Making a conscious effort to not overdo it after past experiences

'til I realize how many people came to see me
Feeling a sense of responsibility and obligation to put on a good show for fans

Don't wanna slack or perform half-ass,
Striving to always perform to the best of their ability without cutting corners

I rock every show like this could be the last Class.. act
Approaching every show with intensity and passion, as if it could be their last

And it's hard to party without drinkin',
Struggling to enjoy the party scene without alcohol

Give me just one,
The temptation to have just one drink despite the risks and consequences

But I ain't a social drinker, when I start I usually get drunk
Tendency to indulge heavily in alcohol when drinking

Guess I'm goin' all night, continuin' the trend
Resigning to the fact that the night will involve heavy partying and likely lead to a hangover

Then I'll wake up next morning and I'll do it all again
Despite acknowledging the negative effects, unable to break the cycle and continuing with the partying lifestyle

This hangover is settin' in, and...
Feeling the negative effects of the excessive drinking and partying from the night before

I don't wanna deal with the hangover,
The regret and physical pain of the hangover is not worth the enjoyable night before

I guess I gotta deal with the hangover,
Accepting that the hangover is a natural consequence of heavy drinking and partying

I've got the sweetest hangover,
Despite the negative effects, still enjoying the memories and experiences from the night before

I don't want to get over..
Holding onto the excitement and enjoyment of the wild night rather than moving on from it
