High Life lyrics

They say I was always destined for fortune and fame

Now that I’ve gotten what I wanted everything’s changed

And now I’m living the

High life high life

I never looked back once I left my hometown

High life high life

I left behind everybody I know

And now I’m singing like

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

And everybody sings along like

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

Be careful when you’re wishing for the high life

They say you have to come clean with your past to move on

All of my dreams have come true but something still feels wrong

But I’m still living the

High life high life

I never looked back once I left my hometown

High life high life

Said goodbye to everybody I know

And now I’m singing like

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

And everybody sings along like

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

Be careful when you’re wishing for the high life

Everybody’s dreaming of the high life

It may look good from the outside

But all I really wanted was a good life

With a memory reel of all the highlights

All I want is to sleep good at night

Look myself in the mirror knowing that I live right

So when I’m six feet in the ground

I’ll be singing like

A million dollars in palm

Not a worry in the world , that’s everything I want

I’m wishing I was there I feel like it’s where I belong

I wanna be able to go pay all the bills for my mom

And make her smile

Pick up my family and take em out

On me

And my over capacitated bank account

Money is all I think about

Of my life it’s a highlight

Tired of being low I’m ready for the high life

Look at me now

Look at how I get down

Stubs and Wooten on my feet

I’m the flyest youngin in town

But I’m loosin it

My vision has just become an illusion

And Now my highlife is low again

Struggling to hold it in I was on a mission

And messed everything up making all the wrong decisions

I know it’s not the end Well then again it might be

And it’s sucks god forbid you ever end up like me

And now I’m singing like

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

And everybody sings along like

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

Be careful when you’re wishing for the high life

Be careful when you’re wishing for the high life

Be careful when you’re wishing for the high life

Be careful when you’re wishing for the high life
