Hey Ari Lyrics
[Chorus]
I see through the pills you take
I see through the face you make
Hey Ari, are you happy?
Your lovesick attitude
It doesn’t make you cool
Hey Ari, are you happy?
[Verse 1]
It’s been days since you’ve been sober
And you’re not getting any younger
I'm not saying that you’re old, but you’re way too old for this
Yeah, you fall in love on Fridays
Then you fall apart on Sundays
And you wake up drunk on Mondays and you call your therapist
[Chorus]
Ayy, I see through the pills you take
I see through the face you make
Hey Ari, are you happy?
You built up an atmosphere
But then came the clouds of fear
Hey Ari, are you happy?
I say, "Yeah, for sure"
[Verse 2]
There’s not a cloud in the sky, but I'll dream one up
Molly inside me, it helps me to feel alive
5-HTP on an empty stomach, I threw it up
Yeah, that shit makes me sick
Yeah, I think it’s time to quit, 'cause
[Chorus]
I see through the pills I take
I see through the face I make
Hey Ari, are you happy? No
Your lovesick attitude
It doesn't make you cool
Hey Ari, are you really happy?
I say, "Yeah, for sure"
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, for sure
Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, for sure
Oh-oh-oh-oh, for sure
Yeah, for sure, yeah, for sure, yeah, for sure
Yeah, for sure, yeah, for sure, yeah, for sure
Yeah, for sure, yeah, for sure, yeah, for sure
Are you happy?
I say, "Yeah, for sure"

What have the artists said about the song?
Right after I finished ‘Hey Ari’ and heard it in the studio for the first time, I was bawling on the floor. I may or may not have been on mushrooms, but I was crying. We have some bangers happening, and then it’s the wake-up moment. You go through those bouts of time in life where you’re just trying...
