High Forever - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I meditate, do my breathwork and micro-dose

I got this talent for makin' everybody close feel like they're not close

Genetic predispositions tryna pull me into bad habits

I turn my suffering into money, and that's a black magic

You know, life is relentless, it's got ladders and shoots

But look at my long, long branches and my short little roots

Was listenin' to the album before the last album, the one everybody knows

It was full of songs like this, I guess I haven't really grown

You can't stay high forever

When you hold too tight on to your own life

It'll eat you up alive

You can't stay high forever

I was readin' Camus yesterday at my Michigan place

My father's features are all over my face

And when I go through my personal history

I see victory mixed with liberty, mixed with misery

Mixed with mystery, mixed with what my parents did to me (Woo)

Maybe there's more trauma to unpack

You don't see me the way I see myself, and that's what hurts so bad

Tomorrow is a concept, nostalgia's a dead-end road

I'm haunted by the ghost of my twenties, he's with me wherever I go

You can't stay high forever

When you hold too tight on to your own life

It'll eat you up alive

You can't stay high forever
