Get High
QWUH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Around the globe I'm fucking hated
Elevated, incubated
Let's just hope my hunger's sated
My motivation's getting big
Smoking piff, no fucking mid
Never catch me off the grid
I step in the club, my babies get loud
Grab a drink and join the crowd
Tipping on my dabby, making a cloud
When I hit the dance floor I throw it all out
Lemme cameo your video and give you clout
Don't let the door hit you on your way out
Call me Miss Stefani cause I got No Doubt
You already know what this is all about
Get high real high
Get high real high
Overrated, shelved and dated
Spent so long doing things I hated
Aggravated, devastated
Like Kate Bush wanna swap our places
I can't pretend you haven't won
Kill the family, save the son
My time is coming, I'm overdone
Bowtie, suspenders, and cummerbund
Step in the room and my presence says it all
I'm here to make a statement, I'm in overhaul
Legally inform you I'm gonna possess it all
I won't let you run away from me
But I will let you crawl
Take a second, now you're netted
Never really thought that you'd regret it
Unprotected, misdirected
Never really know what the world expected
Get high real high
Get high real high
Dissociation, indoctrination
Accidental tax evasion
Conversation, gravitation
Understanding information
I can't believe I didn't know
Not everybody is this aggro
Been told that this is how life goes
No one ever told me that it isn't quite so
Breathe it in, start to feel again
Get shut down on your knees again
Let it win, laundry bin
All piles up underneath again
Trust nobody who can't tell
You when you're wrong
Look me in the eyes as you string me along
I always seem to be the common denom
Instead of self destructing I'll
Be singing this song
Get high real high
Get high real high
Understanding, undemanding
Take my time tryna find the landing
Interesting, secret testing
Let me know if you're not digesting
I don't want to be adored
Skipping lines or holding doors
Don't keep me on a pedestal
Just keep me on the dirty floor
Cover me, don't pull my cord
I have to keep creating more
Algorithm overlord
I don't want to be ignored
Television, change the station
Understand the conversation
One dominion, mass opinion
Don't think about your chance of winning
Get high real high
Get high real high
One more time
Get high real high
Get high real high
