"High Life" lyrics

"High Life"
(feat. Ace Primo)

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 dreamin' 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

Ace Primo
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's 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 fliest youngin' in town
But I'm losin' 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
