  • Yeh, Feels like I'm floating. True Story.

    [Verse 1:]
    Look, I had a homie that used to tell me I would blow
    But he died before he got to see me bloom
    Got killed, never thought I'd see him go
    No funerals I don't even wanna go
    At his wake man I was just standing
    And had the guts to see him in the casket
    Damn, that's my nigga in that casket
    In a million years I never would imagine
    So I'm going out looking for my dawg
    On the block getting bent for my dawg
    God tell me why it hurt so bad
    Why you take "little buck" why you take "Rare"
    So I'm up nights cryin' on and off again
    Drinkin' Henney, it makes me feel strong again
    I don't wanna spend a day sober
    I wanna feel numb all over

    [Hook]
    It feels like I'm floating on the clouds man (I'm High)
    Things got to fly away (no lie)
    I'mma drink my pain away (Oh god)
    Let me see another day
    Now we goin' get (right right right)
    Let's get (right right right)
    I feel so (right right right)
    I wanna get (right right right)

    [Verse 2:]
    Look, have you ever heard the cries of a broken man
    Stared into the eyes of a hopeless man
    No lies look I know this man
    True Story I had went down on Gates Ave
    Stray bullets flyin' out every where
    Put my lil' man Moms in a wheelchair
    And I don't even know what I should say to him
    Cause I feel like, I can't relate to him
    At the hospital, my eyes waterin'
    Give anything to see Cory walk again.
    Type of shit makes me think about giving up
    Put my pain in a white Styrofoam cup
    I won't drink cuz' I'm thirstin' (hey)
    I drink cuz' I'm hurtin' (hey)
    Greygoose got me stumblin'
    Man, I don't wanna feel nothing

    [Hook]
    It feels like I'm floating on the clouds man (I'm High)
    Things got to fly away (no lie)
    I'mma drink my pain away (Oh god)
    Let me see another day
    Now we goin' get (right right right)
    Let's get (right right right)
    I feel so (right right right)
    I wanna get (right right right)

    [Verse 3:]
    Yeh, and I don't wanna feel no pain no more.
    Somebody tell me why when it rains it pours
    Feels like I'm wastin' my life away
    I'm high and I think I can fly away
    More Hennessey, Niggas smokin' weed
    Can't hardly see, whats in front of me
    What is wrong with me, what it's coming to
    Somebody help me look at what I'm going through
    I need another shot of patron
    I don't wanna face the world on my own
    I got friends that ain't never comin' home
    They call me and I try to tell them stay strong
    He said Maino my life is all blown
    My son gon' have grandkids when I come home
    Damn, I could feel his pain through the phone
    And all I could tell him was

    [Hook]
    It feels like I'm floating on the clouds man (I'm High)
    Things got to fly away (no lie)
    I'mma drink my pain away (Oh god)
    Let me see another day
    Now we goin' get (right right right)
    Let's get (right right right)
    I feel so (right right right)
    I wanna get (right right right) Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER FRANKE, EDGAR FROESE, HENRI CHARLEMAGNE, JERMAINE COLEMAN, JOHANNES SCHMOELLING
