Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I rolled you up like my Rizla

Cut you up, with my sisters

You want get us, (yeah), the venom spitters

Your styles trash, don't litter

You got the jitters, the hard hitters

No quitters, your soul quivers

[Verse 2]

When you see the gats blazin', get out the street now

There ain't no use for you beggin' to turn the heat down

You labeled me cold blooded

You wanna warm me up with hot lead, the gat thudded

You can't cut it

[Verse 3]

You wack, but it's no use, your mouth shut it

Shootin' arrows diamond studded, and still budded

You got to love it, you better chase the paper all day

So you can walk down the long platinum hallway

[Verse 4]

But now the fools are minute made

They get played for a minute

Then played out they never get back in it

Gun park, I bring chalk, for your body outlined on the floor

You got hit by the 4-4

[Verse 5]

You're in a game called life, son, how you livin' it

Street corner kids growin' up, blowin' up

You chase dreams, you want the highlife, with the skylights

But in the end your soul's lost, you lost the shine right

[Verse 6]

Never turn your back ever, on **** true to you

Stand alone for the cheddar, and they'll be through with you

The highlife, yeah, the highlife

The highlife, yeah, the highlife

[Verse 7]

You gotta hang out with B Reezy, and take it easy

It's gettin greasy, I had to learn how to beat me

That's when you go for dolo, and get your meal ticket

And still kick it hardcore, I'm runnin' real with it

[Verse 8]

**** getting softcore, the people want more

Hardcore shit, that's why I give them an encore

Curtains opened, you see the people applaud feeling it

You can't figure out the formula, so you stealin it

[Verse 9]

Can't stand unoriginal, cats with minimal

Skills, that's criminal, you fake bitches

You're lookin for riches, in the wrong places

The faces of death look you in the eye, cut off your breath

[Verse 10]

When the fall feel your knees shatter

The bones breaking with your weak bladder

Pissin' on yourself, it don't matter

Dead weight, the bed waits for you on the set date

Dreams gone instead fate, didn't hesitate

[Verse 11]

To put you away, close the gates now your're locked out

Your life, cable, with all the porn channels blocked out

What you good for? Nothin', so be gone suckers

Have a nice trip, see you motherfuckers

[Verse 12]

You're in a game called life, son, how you livin' it

Street corner kids growin' up, blowin' up

You chase dreams, you want the highlife, with the skylights

But in the end your soul's lost, you lost the shine right

[Verse 13]

Never turn your back ever, on **** true to you

Stand alone for the cheddar, and they'll be through with you

The highlife, yeah, the highlife

The highlife, yeah, the highlife

[Verse 14]

I live for the highlife, get my mind right

Fuck the fame, the game and the limelight

Fools that be out there trying to duplicate

But they can't match the aura, can't impersonate

[Verse 15]

See, the first things that comes to pass is the blast

Of the Cypress Hill weed funk blazin' up a path

You can't help, but inhale and get strong

You need that good shit all up in your lungs

[Verse 16]

I live fast, and keep energy in motion

Jah bless, so I feel I've been chosen

But I know, this of he who conquers

You got to come strong to sound off like thunder

[Verse 17]

I check myself and make sure I'm coming real tight

Rhyme for my fam, the G's and the highlife

[Verse 18]

The highlife, hah, hah

The highlife, yeah

[Verse 19]

You're in a game called life, son, how you livin' it

Street corner kids growin up, blowin up

You chase dreams, you want the highlife, with the skylights

But in the end your soul's lost, you lost the shine right

[Verse 20]

Never turn your back ever, on **** true to you

Stand alone for the cheddar, and they'll be through with you

The highlife, ha, the highlife, the highlife, yeah, the highlife
