[Intro]
It's too high
It's too high
It's too high
It's too high
It's too high
It's too high
Too high
Too high
It's too high

[Chorus]
It's too high
Ain't no wonder why
So am I
All I got is too much
On my mind
But I never got enough
To get by
And the rent is too high
It's too high
Ain't no wonder why
So am I
All I got is too much
On my mind
But I never got enough (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
To get by
And the rent is too high
[Verse 1]
Smoking on the shit I grew, it's Friday, there ain't shit to do
Crashed out in the living room, then woke up in a shitty mood
Little dude wanna hit the zoo, first let me just hit the zoot
Can't quit it or admit it, but maybe I'm addicted too
Tell myself these are just trees, I ain't been high all week
Ain't nobody ever OD'd from weed, I ain't no fiend
But I can't get no sleep, got police in my dreams
Dope fiends all in my jeans, trust, bruv, you don't know me
Na mosie, na posie, you don't even half know me
Preaching like some holy mother brother, sound asshole-y
Puff, puff and then pass homie, roll me up another half OZ
Tried to get some MD, but the shit was bath salty
Gotta pay 'em back too much, can't get out of bed too hung
Thank God these two junkies love me too much
Celebrating my old man 'cause he been clean two months
You could live your whole life on a drug you said you'd do once
Real shit, real shit and I don't wanna feel shit
But I gotta feed these children, just let me chill a lil' bit
Gotta take this pill to kill this guilt, but I still feel shit
And I don't wanna deal, but I got bills that I can't deal with
The rent's too high

[Chorus]
And the rent is too—
And the rent is too high
It's too high
Ain't no wonder why
So am I
All I got is too much
On my mind
But I never got enough
To get by
And the rent is too high
It's too high
Really ain't no wonder why
So am I
All I got is too much
On my mind
But I never got enough
To get by
And the rent is too—
[Verse 2]
Smoking on the shit I grew, it's Friday, there ain't shit to do
Might just sip a little brew, I been stressed, bruv, if you knew
Old boy that I flip it to been going through his shit too
If you knew what this dude been through, you'd be fucked up like him too
It's clear he's not all there, I come around and he's on the gear
Pipe right there on the chair, talking to me like an auctioneer
"Sorry, buddy, I ain't got the money," well, that's something I don't wanna hear
"I got a lawnmower or a leaf blower, I can do a grand if you want the pair"
Sounds fair, wanna care, but I ain't come here to volunteer
Can't judge him though, to be fair, 'bout to go get a box of beer
Same same but different, nothing changed, both addicted
Just switched up the substance from a crystal to a liquid
Why do we think we're more sophisticated only because we sniffed it?
It's a drug when it's in the hood but it's all good if it's prescription
Twisted, this sickness is big business when you broke
A quick fix might feel like it might fix it, but it don't
I'm conflicted, so fuck it, I let him tick it
And I hope one day he'll kick it
But let's just be realistic, bro, he won't
Because the rent's too high
Yeah, and so am I

[Outro]
Yeah, the rent's due
Gotta work like a motherfucker, then you
Gotta die like a motherfucker when you
Finally pay back the money that they lent you
It's too late then
And the rent's due
Gotta work like a motherfucker, then you
Gotta die like a motherfucker when you
Finally pay back the money that they lent you
It's too late then (Fuck if I offend you, I meant to)
Rent's too high
