Why do I stay high?
01:31
Why do I stay high?
01:34
Why do I stay high?
01:37

01:46

01:48
If I could teach the world (the whole wide world)
01:53
To be a thug in harmony (in harmony)
01:56
Then I would teach the world (the whole wide world)
01:59
To be a thugsta just like me. (just like me)
02:03
If I could teach the world (the whole wide world)
02:06
To be a thug in harmony (in harmony)
02:09
Then I would teach the world (the whole wide world)
02:12
To be a thugsta just like me. (just like me)
02:15
How many mo' days on this old earth can you see?
02:18
It's a crime to me, so we should get ready for Armageddon
02:22
'Cause I know God should be ready to roll
02:26
To go through all of the wicked shit like Mr. Policeman
02:28
And duck if you wanna pump your fist in the air
02:33
And pray for the politicians freely, get an amen?
02:36
The last days of the last days.
02:39
Everyday the world goes 'round and 'round, I see it's a small world after all
02:43
'Cause I can go meet and agree with my fans
02:49
Smoke a little weed and have a little laugh at y'all
02:52
But every now and then I get caught up in a playa-hation
02:55
Lord, what's wrong with the nation, erase them
02:59
But if I could teach the world to be a thug just like me
03:03
You could live your lifestyle worry-free
03:06
In the arms of the Lord eternally, no mystery
03:09
But check the essence of the story, a warrior
03:14
Wasteland warrior, so true, divine, it's mine, East 1999
03:17
It's where you'll find all of my kind, every time
03:24
Why do I stay high?

04:38
Follow me, follow me (Bone)

And that's why I stay high 'cause I got shit to deal with
04:48
The government and these playa haters out to kill Wish
04:52
Wanna hurt this but uh-uh, I got two Mo Thug niggas you just can't fuck with
04:56
Artillery, you can come with, nigga, better let it rest, shit
05:01
To the little boys and girls all over the world
05:05
The shit that we say is from the streets, not for you to go and do
05:11
Uh-uh, or to repeat, please, if we can - no more murder
05:16
I must I say, if we can - no more murder
05:21
If I could teach the world (the whole wide world)
05:27
