High Hopes
[Pre-Chorus]
You in the presence of young king shit
Lost with the n***as I won rings with
Smoking on good weed, got high hopes
I know you been let down‚ but I won't
[Chorus]
'Cause I been drinking‚ I been smoking at the same time
Relief for feeling low when the pain high
Lost in my feelings‚ got high hopes
Lost everything except my soul
[Verse]
Mink on, feeling like I'm Jon Snow
I feel like I'm that n***a, used to feel like John Doe
So tired of rap n***as‚ I feel like I'm Lonzo
Drafted by my home team, look at what my hopes bring
I feel like I'm Pac n***a, might go get a nose ring
Might go get a wife n***a‚ might go steal some ho's dreams
Michael be my inspiration, Tyson in them old rings
Jackson with the moves, slide, Jordan with the 4-5
Michael be my inspiration, Angelo, I paint pictures
Grew up in the Hoovers n***a, knew a couple grape n***as
Signed to some bounty hunters, fuck, we talking politics?
Fuck, we talking street signs? Lately I've been out of it
Made a living scrambling
I feel like I'm Michael Vick, look at how they did Mike
Look at how they did Bill
These people a Bill King then get a king killed
Especially a black king 'cause they know our kings real
[Pre-Chorus]
You in the presence of young king shit
Lost with the n***as I won rings with
Smoking on good weed, got high hopes
I know you been let down, but I won't
You in the presence of young king shit
Lost with the n***as I won rings with
Smoking on good weed, got high hopes
I know you been let down, but I won't
[Chorus]
'Cause I been drinking, I been smoking at the same time
Relief for feeling low when the pain high
Lost in my feelings, got high hopes
Lost everything except my soul
