Yeah
1, 2... Yeah
I've been tryna make my way
But I have had some better days
Maybe if I cop some haze
I'll smoke all of my problems away
You will Catch me laying in the skies
All this red up in my eyes (yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
They won't even recognize me
I toss and turn when i don't burn and I sleep at night
The cost of herbs up in my burbs has been dropping right (oh dropping right)
And my dealer
Deliver the reefer
Straight to the fucking door
And he don't charge no fee for it (there is no fee for it)
Frantic, Frankly lately I've been panicking
The ups and downs I shoot up and then I'm back again (and I'm back again)
Bad habits I thought I was done with tobacco then
Realized that Mr. Hyde still hides in Dr. Jekyll (ha ha ha ha ha)
I got hecklers I'm talking several
Sitting in the crowd of my mind and they all revel
Oh they reveling to the fact
Or the chance that I'm gonna back out and sever the act but
Jokes on them, cause I'm no actor
Ive been tryna plan too long I need to act more
Maybe then I can cut it out
Stressing so I reach for another cigarette now
I've been tryna make my way
But I have had some better days
Maybe if I cop some haze
I'll smoke all of my problems away (smoke 'em all away)
Maybe then yea I'll feel nice (maybe then yeah I'll feel nice)
You will Catch me laying in the skies
All this red up in my eyes
They won't even recognize me
Yeah
Shit it's been a couple months and I ain't smoke yet (No I ain't smoke yet)
But tell me what exactly am I tryna protect
My Sleep is shit
Feel I'm weak as shit
Think I need this shit
I feel hella antsy
This shit used to help me sit
In my chair
And I swear that I'd write for hours (oh for hours)
Now I'm sour cause without the sour I have lost my powers
Even bowels
Damn this shit is foul
Don't move like they used to
Miss my flower
Now emotions tower all up in my rear-view (yeah yeah yeah)
See-through see-through
I swear these niggas see through
Swear this herb would calm me down when niggas got deceitful
I was on my Jedi mind meditative peaceful
No yoga I ran into Yoda he told me "out watch you... should"
Coulda woulda but didn't
Who am I kidding thinking nigga I'll be smoking in a minute
Let me hit it, let me hit it
Nigga I need a pivot
Cause lately I feel like I've been stuck in the same divot
I've been tryna make my way
But I have had some better days
Maybe if I cop some haze
I'll smoke all of my problems away (smoke 'em all away)
Maybe then yea I'll feel nice (maybe then yeah I'll feel nice)
You will Catch me laying in the skies (Catch me laying in the skies)
All this red up in my eyes
They won't even recognize me
The song 'Better Days' by HOOSH tells a story of struggle with mental health and addiction to cigarettes and marijuana. The lyrics describe the feeling of trying to escape the problems of life, by attempting to smoke them all away. The singer reveals that he has been trying to make his way, but he is having a difficult time finding happiness and clarity. The idea of copping haze refers to buying some marijuana, and then smoking all of his worries away until he reaches a point where he feels completely high and relaxed.
The lyrics also touch on the reality of addiction and how it can be tough to quit or overcome. The singer reveals that he tosses and turns when he doesn't burn, meaning that he cannot sleep easily without smoking marijuana. He also mentions that he has been panicking lately, and the ups and downs seem to shoot him up and down constantly, but he always finds himself back to where he started. The singer seems to be struggling with some inner demons or hecklers, which seem to be getting the best of him.
Overall, the song speaks to the idea of trying to find happiness in life through temporary solutions like drugs and substances. However, this is ultimately a false reality, and it is important to confront and deal with underlying issues or problems, rather than trying to numb them out.
