Yo I want to get high 
I want to get high 

Walking through campus with my backpack 
Bailin' to orientation 
So I can change the nation 
See many faces but none of 'em mirror me 

Show my ID to the punk ass security 
Step on the quad lookin' for the track squad 
Walked by a bitch who think she's God 
Passing me a flyer talkin' 'bout the Messiah 

She want to take me higher 
Keep your rhetoric in the heavens 
Look and see a bro' with a fro like Michael Evans 
Done spent 6 years in the college 

Always telling me to question the knowledge 
Sittin' in the black hole with the black stroll 
And not even one cave bitch in our click 
Sayin' f*ck Professor Fitz 

I come from the land of the Bloods and the Crips (What's up nigga) 
Don't like scholarships because they hurt me 
Nothin' but a slave to the university 
That's why ya see me on the track field run by ya 
Caught by a liar who want to take me higher 

[Chorus] 
Shit, he want to take me higher 
Wait until they get a load of me, shit shit 
I want to get high so high 
Chocolate Thai 

I want to take flight ya Goddamn right 
It's a party every fucking night 
Been there for about 6 weeks 
Walked by the freaks 
Look, black greeks 
How the f*ck ya figure 
I dig ya me bein' from niggafied nigga 
White boy in the room with me 
Who never saw BET what the f*ck 
He's about to erupt and turn red 
Start hangin' with the muthafuckin' skinheads 
'Cause he can't deal with the overkill 
College ain't nothin' but niggaville 
And he regret that his school is filled 
With niggas jews and wetbacks 
Plus chinks now he drinks 
Hour after hour screaming white power 
Motherfucker want me to call him sire 
He want to take me higher 

[Chorus]

A girl gets date raped just like that 
At a frat now she chase the cat 
Feminist saying women is God's gift 
Do you need a lift can I take a sniff 
Do I sound sexist cause I'm chasin' 
After Deja she from Texas? 
Down to kick the asses of the fascists 
Who want to put me in the oven and burn me to ashes 
But I'm not burnin' the world keeps turnin' 
And nobody learnin' 
'Cause college is full of shit 
Teachin' me to memorize nothin' but the lies 
Chillin' at a rally for peace 
The beast from white power up in the tower 
With the M-1 gun and a scope on dope 
Thinkin' he's the great white hope 
Motherfucker levels off 
He want to see me 6 feet deep shoveled off 
Cause Columbus University is nothing but a empire 
Who want to take me higher 

[Chorus] 
Shit they want to take me higher 
Wait until they get a load of me 
Shit they want to take me higher 
They want to take me higher 
Unh damn they want to take me higher 
Damn wait until they get a load of me 
Damn unh they want to take me they want to take me 
Them muthafuckas'll never break me shit
