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
|
