HIGH AND HOLY Song Lyrics
HIGH AND HOLY by Killer Mike [Intro: Yoruba Speaker]
[?]
[Verse 1: Killer Mike]
Real niggas it's my honour
To pay you homage
And extend the same respect to all your baby mamas
'Cause we just trifle
We carry rifles
Granny carry Bibles
We carry hatred for our rivals
Same as Cain and Abel
Killed his brother 'cause God showed him favour
Mankind killed it's own saviour
Man, the killer's neighbour (Do it again)
Man, the killer's neighbour
They say, "It's in our nature"
They say, "We're children of a lesser god" and treat us hateful
This sh*t is so disgraceful
I stay prayed and faithful
I apologize if I'vе ever spoke distastеful
Words in front of elders, sittin' at the dinner table
I rightened up and tightened up and God showed me favour
[Chorus: Killer Mike & Ty Dolla $ign]
Blowin' smoke up at the Heaven, count my blessings, tryna find atonement
My life's a testimony, that's why I stay high and holy
That's why I stay high and holy (I stay high and holy)
Blowin' smoke up at the Heaven, count my blessings, tryna find atonement
My life's a testimony, that's why I stay high and holy
That's why I stay high and holy
[Verse 2: Killer Mike]
Men have died for dollars, men have killed for pennies
But too few have made a difference so they life is finished
Like, did you love a woman? Did you raise a child?
Did you show some love? Did you give a smile?
Well, you made the suffer when you didn't deserve it
You f**ked up, that's okay, bruh, ain't nobody perfect
They say, "Get right with God 'cause the devil lurkin'
Lay your worries down, give God all your burdens"
My brother's in the fire and to save him's my desire
Our ambitions often co-conspire to go higher
God bless those that confess and God damn the liars
Quote it like I wrote it, Michael, father of Aniyah
[Chorus: Killer Mike & Ty Dolla $ign]
Blowin' smoke up at the Heaven, count my blessings, tryna find atonement
My life's a testimony, that's why I stay high and holy
That's why I stay high and holy (I stay high and holy)
Blowin' smoke up at the Heaven, count my blessings, tryna find atonement
My life's a testimony, that's why I stay high and holy
That's why I stay high and holy
[Bridge: Ty Dolla $ign]
I stay high and holy
I stay high, high and holy
High and holy
[Outro: Yoruba Speaker]
