[Intro: Krayzie Bone & Bizzy Bone]
Why do I stay high? Why do I stay high?
Why do I stay high? Why do I stay high?
Why do I stay high? Why do I stay high?
Why do I stay high? Why do I stay high?

[Chorus: Krayzie Bone]
If I could teach the world (whole wide world)
To be a Thug-N-Harmony (Harmony)
Then I would teach the world (whole wide world)
To be a thugsta just like me (like me)
If I could teach the world (whole wide world)
To be a Thug-N-Harmony (Harmony)
Then I would teach the world (whole wide world)
To be a thugsta just like me (like me)

[Verse 1: Krayzie Bone]
How many mo days on this old earth can you see?
It's a crime to me
So we should get ready for Armageddon
Cause I know God should be ready to roll
Do away with the wickedest shit like Mr. Police-Man
And dog if you're ready then pump up ya fist in tha air
And then pray for the politicians freely; get an amen?
The last days of the last days
[Bridge: Bizzy Bone]
And that's why I get high, and that's why I get high

[Verse 2: Bizzy Bone]
I'm holdin' onto my soul
But nobody knows when it all unfolds
Then when I go, go
Remember the dead cause I all I got
I got under my arm we fall
BONE BONE muggin runnin through your door
Hoes speakin of the last time that I past
Charlie wanna hear ya BONE
But I can't go wrong
When I flip it to my song
Better turn it up
Cause you love that Thuggish Ruggish Bone, Bone, Bone
Crossroads what real cruel world
Now I doubt the journey of those lost souls
Who meant so much why wasn't I chose?
But it will not stop clones
Those shots don't drop BONE
Nooooooo no-oh
But if I could teach the world to be a thug like me
Everybody be thuggin' in heaven eternally

[Verse 3: Layzie Bone]
Everyday the world goes round and round
I see it's a small world after all
Cause I can go met and I greet with my fans
Smoke a little weed and have a little laugh with y'all
But every now and then I gets caught up in a playa hation
Lord what's wrong with the nation, erase em'
But if I could teach the world to be a thug just like me
You could live your lifestyle worry free
In the arms of the Lord eternally
No mystery, but check the essence of the story
The warrior wasteland warrior so true
Divine, it's mine, east 19-99
It's where ya gonna be findin' all of my kind, every time
[Chorus: Krayzie Bone]
If I could teach the world (whole wide world)
To be a Thug-N-Harmony (Harmony)
Then I would teach the world (whole wide world)
To be a thugsta just like me (like me)
If I could teach the world (whole wide world)
To be a Thug-N-Harmony (Harmony)
Then I would teach the world (whole wide world)
To be a thugsta just like me (like me)

[Verse 4: Krayzie Bone]
(If I, if I)
We stand as united, but fall if divided
My thugs are the tightest, cause God is our guidance
They only define us as killer and fighters
The critics 'n writers backstab when they typing our story
The war to be warrior, that’s for sure
And as thugs we're more and more and more

[Verse 5: Wish Bone]
I got, we got, too much shit to give, got shit to give
Especially but still understood by the older folks and little kids
Come on all of y'all
Follow me BONE (Bone), way to go, we know the way to go
Follow me follow me BONE
And that's why I stay high cause I got shit to deal with
And the government and these playa-haters out to kill Wish
Wanna hurt this but uhuh
I got true mo thug n***as you just can't fuck with
Artillery you can't dung with
N***a betta let it rest shit (Shit)
To the little boys and girls all over the world
The shit that we say is for the streets not for you to go and do
Uh or to repeat, please if we can no more murder
How must I say this, if we can no more murder
[Chorus: Krayzie Bone]
If I could teach the world (whole wide world)
To be a Thug-N-Harmony (Harmony)
Then I would teach the world (whole wide world)
To be a thugsta just like me (like me)
If I could teach the world (whole wide world)
To be a Thug-N-Harmony (Harmony)
Then I would teach the world (whole wide world)
To be a thugsta just like me (like me)

[Outro]
Why do I stay high? Why do I stay high?
Why do I stay high? Why do I stay high?
Why do I stay high? Why do I stay high?
Why do I stay high? Why do I stay high?
