Wanna know what it sounds like when I'm not on drugs?

Please, please don't play this song

Ri-ri-ri-ri-right, ri-right, right

Tryna get my mind, my mind, my mind right, right

People think they really being helpful

By telling me "please be careful"

Yeah right! Ri-ri-ri-ri-right, ri-right, right

Please, please don't play this song, ha ha

Pain, hurt, sadness and loneliness

Balled all that shit right up, tossed it away to the bottomless pit

The part of my mind that slips, the part of my mind so sick

I don't even like to take that trip unless I'm sloppy drunk

I pray for my mom how a teach had a son

That never gave a fuck about scantron

All I wanted was to be a human being

And show the world some new colors and scenes

Imagine all types of beautiful scenery

I remember when I first had tree

Smoked out a black and mild, so dumb of me

Now, I'm grape cigarillo man

Any young black kid, guaranteed fan

Hold it down humble pie on the humble

And I treat normal girls like models

Reckless and young, and my, my mom's callin'

Think I should hit decline

I'm numb face while I'm thinkin' 'bout suicide

Wanna know what it sounds like when I'm not on drugs?

Please, please don't play this song

Ri-ri-ri-ri-right, ri-right, right

Tryna get my mind, my mind, my mind right, right

People think they really being helpful

By telling me "please be careful"

Yeah right! Ri-ri-ri-ri-right, ri-right, right

Please, please don't play this song, ha ha

Hey, black Robin Hood

Ridin' high just like we should

You know the sayin', ain't no delayin'

Gotta gets to gettin' while the gettin's good

Yeah, demented, my brain was forced to transform

Wise up, I'm checkin' the gate on humble tales and minimum wage

The blogs tell it, Cudi's lame, wearin' a kilt, he must be gay

Let's keep it trill, fuck being discreet

But some girls tweet how they miss my meat

Yeah, Cudders

HBO, that vitamin water

That's money to blow 'cause it's money for blow

Don't take no shit, you can blame my mom

I'm in a maze, I'm in a daze, I'm losin' it

I'm lockin' in my rocket ship, I'll be a blip on your radar, bitch

Feels like things can be covered

Until the day I'm above myself hovered

Wanna know what it sounds like when I'm not on drugs?

Please, please don't play this song

Ri-ri-ri-ri-right, ri-right, right

Tryna get my mind, my mind, my mind right, right

People think they really being helpful

By telling me "please be careful"

Yeah right! Ri-ri-ri-ri-right, ri-right, right

Please, please don't play this song, ha ha
