Cuz this job just started
Excuse me I think you farted

Roll it tight let it burn slow

Living life and its none of your concern bro
Fuck the money tell me what you're really worth tho
Yea i'm tryna get high today
Cuz I want it my way
Only doing my own thing
Don't care about what the time say
Keep hating on me i'm going up on the highway

All this pain feel like its a light day

All this pain feel like its a light day
Ima find my way
Yea i'm tryna get high today
Cuz I want it my way
Only doing my own thing
Don't care about what the time say
