I've been wondering why these things
They happen all the time
And every now and then I realize
That there's only so much in my hands
Oh I try to get by just like they done told us
Instead I get high and hope they don't notice
It don't really matter
The noise and the chatter
It's all one big ladder we climb
We got nowhere to go
So try to live it slow
This load gets heavy
Keep troubles down below
Stay on the higher road
Just keep it steady
Oh these times they get trying
But me, I'm still stylin'
It's mind over matter beside
We got nowhere to go
So try to live it slow
This load gets heavy
Heavy now
I've seen these visions of green
Yeah they're truly wonderful
And I've seen missions of greed
And they're consuming everyone
Oh I try to get by just like they done told us
Instead I get high and hope they don't notice
It don't really matter
The noise and the chatter
It's all one big ladder we climb
We got nowhere to go
So try to live it slow
This load gets heavy
Keep troubles down below
Stay on the higher road
Just keep it steady
Oh these times they get trying
But me, I'm still stylin'
It's mind over matter beside
We got nowhere to go
So try to live it slow
This load gets heavy
Heavy now
