about
“My High, Right?” Is Cardboard People first single of the 2021 year and 5th single since the band’s debut. Featuring musical guest: Domino and Del The Funky Homosapien (Hieroglyphics), Merlo (Jack Johnson’s Band) and Rhonda from The Onyx !
In a capitalist society, “My High, right” ponders the aged old question, are we living to work and then die ? Is there more to life than attaining wealth ? Doing the best drugs ? Wear the latest drip ? It’s a vicious cycle of self worth and money.
lyrics
All that money I done spent today,
Close my eyes and waste my life away
Let me come and put you up on my high
Right ? Right.
See, I’m tryna still figure this shit out.
I wake up day after day after day
Working 9-5, just to stay alive
I wonder, if it always be this way
All that money I done spent today,
Close my eyes and waste my life away
Let me come and put you up on my high
Right ? Right.
All that money I done spent today,
Close my eyes and waste my life away
Let me come and put you up on my high
Right ? Right.
Im in my bag again and out my head again
I be in and out them stores like it’s a habit
I’m addicted to the finer things
Fast cars, champagne and all this jewelry,
And all my niggas know that if I ever blow,
We gon drip out every red carpet
We just victims to this fast life
Sweet dreams, nightmares on a warm night
We call it paradise but it’s a veiled hell
Getting high up in the hills just to soft the blow
And you never know what I payed for this,
Sell your soul just to keep up with the Jones
And ion think that that y’all ever really notice,
That all the flyest motherfuckas be the coldest
They just trying to fill a void with the latest,
Spending all that money still ain’t the greatest
All that money I done spent today,
Close my eyes and waste my life away
Let me come and put you up on my high
Right ? Right.
