Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hi, I'm seventeen and my name is Bobby James
Every day in school all my classmates call me names
And so, this pusher introduced me to this thing
He said it makes you forget pain but makes you sing
[Verse 2]
I got pushed at home, at school I was a wuss
Now my life's a domino that pushers push
'Cause I tried it once, but I tried it again
Ran away two weeks later, I seen my friend
And I sang
[Verse 3]
Hey there mister give me some cash
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast
I'm just one hit away from being passed out
Young and assed out
Hey there mister give me some cash
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast
I'm just one hit away from being passed out
Young and assed out
[Verse 4]
Man, this would be cute if this were just a dream
A lesson for you to learn except you'd learn through me
You know like in the movies when it ends with a scream
Well fuckface, I got news
This is real, and I did things
Traveling from Virginia to Cali broke
Hitchhike and rides me in my calico
Shoplift for food when it was desired
I miss my family
Miss my friends
I'm so high and so tired
[Verse 5]
Hey there mister give me some cash (Of singing)
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast (Singing)
I'm just one hit away from being passed out (Singing, singing, singing)
Young and assed out (I'm so)
Hey there mister give me some cash (High)
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast (High, high)
I'm just one hit away from being passed out (High, high, high)
Young and assed out
[Verse 6]
Hey there mister give me some cash (Hey there)
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast (Could you help me please?)
I'm just one hit away from being passed out (Could you spare some change for the world?)
Young and assed out (For the world to see)
Hey there mister give me some cash (Hey there)
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast (Could you help me please?)
I'm just one hit away from being passed out (Could you spare some change for the world?)
Young and assed out (For the world to see)
[Verse 7]
Hey there mister give me some cash
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast
I'm just one hit away from being passed out
Young and assed out
Hey there mister give me some cash
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast
I'm just one hit away from being passed out
Young and assed out
[Verse 8]
Young and assed out
[Verse 9]
Hey there mister give me some cash
I'm high as hell and I'm ready to blast
I'm just one hit away from being passed out
Young and assed out
[Verse 10]
Hey there
Could you help me please?
Could you spare some change for the world?
For the world to see
[Verse 11]
Hey there
Could you help me please?
Could you spare some change for the world?
For the world to see
[Verse 12]
Hey there
Could you help me please?
Could you spare some change for the world?
For the world to see
Hey there
