Why You Get So High

[Chorus]
Why, why do you get so high?

[Verse 1: Gigolo Tony; Lacey Lace; Both]
I say the very next time you attempt to get high
Just pause for a moment and ask yourself why
Some use drugs because they have problems
But when it falls down that really don't solve 'em
Others use drugs 'cause it make 'em feel good
And everybody does it in the neighborhood
Stay up all day And don't be a light sleeper
It would be a lot cheaper if you didn't smoke reefer

[Chorus]
Why, why do you get so high?
Why, why do you get so high?

[Verse 2: Gigolo Tony; Lacey Lace; Both]
You got drugs to sniff and drugs to smoke
Well you can call it marijuana, you can call it dope
But whatever definition it's all the same
When you spend all your money and burn away your brain
By smoking good reefer and snorting cocaine
And shooting all kinds of drugs all through your vein
You got people selling reefer in every corner
And if you need a nickelbag you can get it when you wanna

[Chorus]
Why, why do you get so high?
Why, why do you get so high?

[Verse 3: Gigolo Tony; Lacey Lace; Both]
Remember all the times you [?]
When you went half-and-half on a nickelbag
I say your stomach was growling from hunger pains
But you didn't feed your stomach, you fed your veins
You said you need to get high in order to cope
Well it's a sad, sad story if dope is your hope
And did you read about the man on the rooftop?
He tried to fly But his body went flop

[Verse 4: Gigolo Tony; Lacey Lace; Both]
You're not drunk yet, that's what you think
So you asked the bartender for one more drink
It was getting late and they had to close
And so they threw you outside and they locked the doors
You felt in your pocket for your keys
And then you dropped 'em on the floor and you fell to your knees
Then you looked up in the sky, at the stars
You wonder to yourself where the hell you are
You jumped in your car and you speeded out
You got caught drunk driving now you're paying the cost

[Verse 5: Gigolo Tony; Lacey Lace]
Young ladies on the corner turning tricks
To support their habit when they need a fix
You got junkies hanging out under trees
Selling camera, radio and TV
Your mind is mixed up to what life is all about
So you try to use drugs as an easy way out
I knew a young girl, she was fine as any
But she started to base and became real skinny

[Chorus]
Why, why do you get so high?
Why, why do you get so high?

[Verse 6: Gigolo Tony; Lacey Lace]
First you started out smoking weed
And then you thought cocaine was really what you needed
So you started to snort, and you started to base
And your parents were getting on your case
Because the cocaine was affecting your brain
And you brought down shame on the family name
You wanted something new so glue you started sniffing
And you ran out of money so you started shoplifting

[Verse 7: Gigolo Tony; Lacey Lace; Both]
Chilling at the bar, with a crew
And a man introduces himself to you
He said he has something that'll make you feel good
At first you say no, and then "maybe I should"
Your friends started laughing and called you a square
So you took them up on that dare
You took one drag of what you thought was weed
And then you started freaking out 'cause it was LSD
So the very next time you attempt to get high
Just pause for a moment and ask yourself why

[Chorus]
Why, why do you get so high?
Why, why do you get so high?
