[Verse 1]

Well I've been feelin' like my yesterday is gone

My braincells are functioning like Cheech and Chong

I've been living present future but no past

I think it's time to kick these drugs and do it fast

But the music is the drug that brings content

It's a high I didn't buy it was heaven sent

I used to cry my blues for my fellow man

Now I sing the blues but it's only cause I can


[Chorus]

That's why I'm gon' leave ya'll

Today

Sick and tired of being a steeple

A conductor for your pain

And I don't even sleep no

I self medicate

But I'll sing one more song, before I go away


[Verse 2]

See I've been tryna' make my mind up but I can't

Cause when I'm high baby I can lie like a president

So I get high and tell myself the pain ain't real

But without pain, the song I sing ain't got no feel

So I'm livin' present future with no past

I ain't sure how much longer I'm gonna last

And as long as I ain't dead I'll sing my song

And I sing it for the people 'till I'm gone


[Chorus]

That's why I'm gon' leave ya'll

Today

Sick and tired of being a steeple

A conductor for your pain

And I don't even sleep no

I self medicate

But I'll sing one more song, before I go away
