Secret to Happiness

[Verse 1: Sam Lachow]
I'm probably looking like another happy-go-lucky rapper
Had some dope, had some hope
Until the coke habit happened
I just wanna listen to Cat Stevens and Rap Demons
I pinky promise I have feelings
I could make you feel like a turtle stuck in a rabbit race
And I could get you pills that could turn the frown to a happy face
You won't even have to leave the house
Let alone the couch
Get rid of the doubt and the paranoia when going out
I got a smile that could carve a dimple
I'm happy as a puppy at a car window
I'm always nervous
I'm only human, doctor, no one's perfect
I see the sun somebody close the curtains (Ah)
We didn't choose to be on this planet with stars around it
But while we're here, shit we may as well make some art about it
My parents are artists
They barely get startled, embarrassing cars
While quoting lines from Harold and Maude

[Chorus: Maggie Lou May]
I'm happy
I'm idle
I'm foolish
I'm fine
I'm chasing my high
Wasting my time
Happy
I'm idle
I'm foolish
I'm fine
If I stay alive
I'll keep chasing high-

[Verses 2: Sam Lachow]
I DJ from the middle of the backseat
I got the tune full of the wheel
Replay this time in C major
Make it real sappy, better give me the feels
I'm fine baby I'm still rockin'
Make tracks with depressed pill poppers
If I had a penny for every pill that I popped
I would have about seven or eight dollars
Oh shit, I'm out at last I need my script
When will the doctor call back?
One day I'll be off of this medicine
Off of the devil and I can finally say
I got new meaning in my life
I put new tires on my bike
I put trophies up on my shelf
(I feel happy of myself)
I put a smile on, but there's evil inside of me
I'm Irish goodbye-ing 'cause I'm hiding social anxiety
Got back up from my fall
I just snapped out of the withdrawl
Least I played the cards that I'm dealt
(I feel happy of myself)
My 2 AM homies rarely end in a lasting friendship
I'm not offended, I know none of 'em have bad intentions
I like my medicine keeping me dumb and apathetic
I'm sick of realism
Give this movie a happy ending

[Chorus: Maggie Lou May]
I'm happy
I'm idle
I'm foolish
I'm fine
I'm chasing my high
Wasting my time
Happy
I'm idle
I'm foolish
I'm fine
If I stay alive
I'll keep chasing highs

[Outro: Arthur Brooks & Maggie Lou May]
If I do my job, in the next few minutes
I'm going to give you the secret to happiness
So that when you go home tonight
You can start living a happier life
And you can start sharing with more people
So that they can have a happier life too
If I stay alive
I'll keep chasing highs
