Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Real ****, it's my honor to pay you homage
And extend the same respect to all your baby mamas
'Cause streets is trifle, we carry rifles, granny carry Bibles
We carry hatred for our rivals, same as Cain did Abel
Killed his brother 'cause God showed him favor
Mankind killed its own savior, man'll kill his neighbor
Man'll kill his neighbor, they say what's in our nature
They say we children of a lesser god and treat us hateful
This shit is so disgraceful, I stay prayed and faithful
I apologize if I have ever spoke distasteful
Words in front of elders, sittin' at the dinner table
I tightened up and rightened up and God showed me favor
[Chorus]
Blowin' smoke up at the heavens, count my blessings, tryna find atonement
My life's a testimony, that's why I stay high and holy
High, I stay high
That's why I stay high and holy
Blowin' smoke up at the heavens, count my blessings, tryna find atonement
My life's a testimony, that's why I stay high and holy
Stay high and holy
That's why I stay high and holy
[Verse 2]
Men have died for dollars, men have killed for pennies
But too few have made a difference 'fore they life is finished
Like, did you love a woman? (Did you?)
Did you raise a child? (Yeah)
Did you show some love? Did you give a smile?
Were you made to suffer when you didn't deserve it?
You fucked up, that's okay, bruh, ain't nobody perfect
They say get right with God 'cause the devil lurkin'
Lay your worries down, give God all your burdens
My brother's in the fire and to save him's my desire
Our ambitions often co-conspire to go higher
God bless those that confess and goddamn the liars
Quote it like I wrote it, Michael, father of Aniyah
[Chorus]
Blowin' smoke up at the heavens, count my blessings, tryna find atonement
My life's a testimony, that's why I stay high and holy
Yeah
That's why I stay high and holy
Stay high
Blowin' smoke up at the heavens, count my blessings, tryna find atonement
My life's a testimony, that's why I stay high and holy
That's why I stay high and holy
[Bridge]
High
High
High
I stay high and holy
High
I stay high
I stay, I stay, I stay
Blowin' smoke, my blunt
[Outro]
I can do whatever right here?
Y'all givin' me free rein?
