Higher
Ice Cube (wapos.ru) Lyrics

Yo, I want to get high
I want to feel euphoric and experience heightened senses.

I want to get high
I still want to feel euphoric and experience heightened senses.

Walking through campus with my backpack
I am walking around at my college with my backpack.

bailin' to orientation
I am heading to an orientation meeting.

so I can change the nation
I hope to make an impact on society.

See many faces but none of 'em mirror me
I don't see many people who look like me.

show my ID to the punk ass security
I have to show my identification to the aggressive security staff.

Step on the quad lookin' for the track squad
I am searching for the track athletes on the quad.

walked by a bitch who think she's God
There was a woman passing by who thinks she's better than everyone else.

Passing me a flyer talkin' 'bout the Messiah
She gave me a flyer talking about a religious figure that can save me.

she want to take me higher
She wants to elevate me spiritually.

Keep your rhetoric in the heavens
Your spiritual beliefs should remain separate from everyday life.

look and see a bro' with a fro like Michael Evans
I notice a guy with a hairstyle similar to Michael Evans on 'Good Times.'

Done spent 6 years in the college
I have been in college for 6 years.

always telling me to question the knowledge
Professors are always urging me to analyze what I'm being taught.

Sittin' in the black hole with the black stroll
I am hanging out with my predominantly black friends.

and not even one cave bitch in our click
None of us are hanging out with someone who isn't black.

Sayin' fuck Professor Fitz
We are cursing Professor Fitz.

I come from the land of the Bloods and the Crips (What's up nigga)
I am from a place where gang violence is prevalent.

Don't like scholarships because they hurt me
I don't like scholarships because of the negative impact they have had on me.

nothin' but a slave to the university
I feel like I am trapped in a never-ending cycle of pleasing the university.

That's why ya see me on the track field run by ya
This is why you see me running on the track field.

caught by a liar who want to take me higher
Someone who is untruthful is trying to convince me to transcend to a higher state.

Shit, he want to take me higher
This person really wants me to reach a higher state.

wait until they get a load of me, shit shit
Just wait until they see what I am capable of.

I want to get high so high
I still want to feel euphoric and experience heightened senses.

Chocolate Thai
I am referring to a certain type of marijuana strain.

I want to take flight ya Goddamn right
I want to feel uplifted and euphoric — absolutely.

There's always something going on to celebrate.

Been there for about 6 weeks
I have been at this event for approximately 6 weeks.

walked by the freaks

I see that black fraternities and sororities are present.

How the fuck ya figure
How the hell did you come up with that idea?

'Cause he can't deal with the overkill
He is overwhelmed and cannot handle the situation.

This college is filled predominantly with black students.

He wishes he went to a school without a large black population.

He dislikes black, Jewish, and Hispanic students.

He also dislikes Chinese students, and now he drinks to cope.

He is spending hours screaming about white supremacy.

No one is truly taking anything away from the current situation.

'Cause college is full of shit
College is not as good as it's made out to be.

teachin' me to memorize nothin' but the lies
I am being forced to memorize falsehoods instead of real facts.

Chillin' at a rally for peace
I am relaxed at a peace rally.
