[GABE, TIMOTHY and LIZA]
I don't wanna go to high high high school
I just wanna get high
I don't wanna go to Stuyvesant High School
I wanna go get high
All that stuff your teachers try to sell you, no oh oh
The stuff that leads them to expel you, whoa oh oh
So I'm never ever ever going back to high school
I wanna go get high
[ROBERT]
Here's a little story that you oughta know
'Bout a boy from the projects who gives quid pro quo
It's our friend named Robert, he's a Brooklyn star
And he's gathering a crew, and they're gonna go far
Comin' from the back of the pack, like Count Dracula
He shows his fangs to the gangs that he hangs with...
Nah...
Right here in Gowanus, it's the latest source
No longer back of the pack, now a tour de force
It's plain economics, no one can deny
You got the demand, we got the supply
So look out, little boy from Dean Street or Bergen
Better wash your face with some Ivory or Jergens
'Cause Woolfolk will fuck you up, little boy
Woolfolk will fuck you up
[LALA]
This is a song for the boys who think they can play that game
No matter what they do, things can stay the same
[MARILLA and LALA]
They say we'll always be together, my oh my
Barely keeping it together, why oh why
[ARTHUR]
This is a song for the boys who want to learn to fly
Don't just say no if you want to get high
King Arthur can give you the supplies you crave
Be it white lines or punk
[ARTHUR and ROBERT]
Or something new wave
[LALA]
This is a song for the boys
That the mothers sing
Oh, long ago you know you were a king
[LALA and MARILLA]
You're royalty in exile
[MINGUS]
If you owned the block
You could be making a pile
[LALA and MARILLA]
Royalty in exile
[MINGUS]
You could own the block but keep a low profile
[DEAN STREET and STUYVESANT KIDS]
Take me higher
And higher
And higher
[DYLAN]
You may say to yourself
I can be whoever I say I am
[MINGUS]
You may say to yourself
No one knows my secret identity
[DYLAN]
I don't have to lose anything
[MINGUS]
I don't have to give up anything
[DYLAN]
There are no contradictions
[MINGUS]
No contradictions
[DYLAN]
And I'm not some kid anymore
[MINGUS]
I'm not his protector anymore
[DYLAN]
So I took a test
[MINGUS]
I am the artist
[DYLAN]
I earned my place here
[MINGUS]
It's my tag
[DYLAN]
It's mine
[MARILLA and LALA]
Boys are gonna keep it together
[DYLAN and MINGUS]
I'll do whatever I want
[MARILLA and LALA]
Everybody keep it together
[DYLAN and MINGUS]
I can keep it all together
[LALA and MARILLA]
Higher
[DYLAN and MINGUS]
I don't need anyone
[LALA and MARILLA]
And higher
[DYLAN and MINGUS]
I work alone
[LALA and MARILLA]
And higher
[MARILLA]
This is a song for the boys
If you believed the song
That you'd be king if you waited
Don't wait too long
[MINGUS]
I would sell my soul just to get a taste
To leave a mark that could never be erased
Higher and higher and higher and
Before the day I die
I wanna paint something across the sky
So they'll say how'd that dude even get so high
Not knowing Mingus Rude was the reason why
Not knowing this boy can fly
[MARILLA]
'Cause once you open up a door
You can't go back to like it was before
[MINGUS]
To say it loud and clear
Dose was here...
[MINGUS, LALA and MARILLA]
Higher
And higher and higher
And higher
And higher and higher and
Higher
[ROBERT, ARTHUR, MINGUS, LALA and MARILLA]
From Brooklyn
Hip hop hurray
Jack's a dull dull boy with all work and no play
[LIZA, DYLAN, GABE and TIMOTHY]
To Manhattan
Hip hop hurray
Jack's a dull dull boy with all work and no play
[ARTHUR, MINGUS, LALA and MARILLA]
In my neighborhood it's a helluva day
[ROBERT]
Problem is, when I move in you all move away
[DEAN STREET and STUYVESANT KIDS]
I did it like that
I did it like this
Your mother was a hamster
And thanks for all the fish
[STUYVESANT KIDS]
'Cause I just wanna get high
So I can keep it together
I wanna go get high
So I can keep it together
[MARILLA and LALA]
Take me higher
And higher
Higher
And higher
[ROBERT, ARTHUR and MINGUS]
Woolfolk will fuck you up, little boy
Woolfolk will fuck you up
Woolfolk will fuck you up, little boy
Woolfolk will fuck you up
[DYLAN and MINGUS, spoken]
What is happening to me?!?
[STUYVESANT KIDS]
I wanna go get high
[DYLAN and MINGUS, spoken]
You may find yourself
[MINGUS, spoken]
Selling drugs with your friends
[DYLAN, spoken]
Buying drugs for your friends
[MINGUS, spoken]
Selling drugs to your friends
[DYLAN, spoken]
Buying drugs from your friends
[DYLAN and MINGUS, spoken]
What is happening to me
