High Society Lyrics


Now don't get me wrong
The 10 Commandments is cool
See, once upon a time
I too, believed in the golden ruleBut the mere nation dwindle, so the saut swindle
Got tossed the fuck out the window
Ya know what I'm sayin'
KOTTONMOUTH kings, still blowin' smoke rings
Keep your head upIt's a high society
It's time for some realization
Not fueled by media manipulations
But the manifestation of the last generation, legalizationFuck your pension, if you're paid, pay attention
Teachers of this land, yo, your all on detention
You failed to mention 'bout this everyday struggle
Placed me in a bubble but it popped on the doubleNow, you're in trouble 'cuz I'm older now
I'm bolder now, bitch, I'm a soldier now
I've been raised to blaze in this simple place
Like a Greyhound's race to brace, this is a disgraceI've seen people starved till there no life left
I've seen heads kicked in for the words that they said

Police crackin' skulls, with no questions asked
A suicidal shot from a shotgun blastIt didn't have nothing to do with them hoes, that they got popped in here
Didn't have shit to do with the one that they dropped in here
Nothing to do with the land that got stole
Believe me, mother fucker, I see right through your mind controlI won't drown, drown, drown in your society
High times, it's a high society
Lies, lies, everyone keeps tryin' me
Why won't they just let me be? It's a high societyFirst of all, let's get this straight, this systems full of shit
They say "In God we trust", you're a fuckin' hypocrite
Crooked politicians lying out their ass
Money hungry whores, behind the doors smokin' grassNo trust in the nation, trust in the nation
Spending all the money on the fucking immigration
Walls caving in, it's getting hard to breathe
51-50's what this system's done to meMoney don't mean shit to me, it grows on evil trees
Breaks up families, it's more like a disease
'Cuz it's tension, did I mention, it's the government's invention
Dollar, dollar bill, ya'llCurrency, a mighty dollar, for 20 bucks
You can make somebody's daughter suck a hooker-holla
Turn a boy into a baller, watch his chips stack taller
Dollar, dollar bill ya'llYou'll see, it's all or nothin' in this game of survival
Got hustlers holdin' on to the scams
They go watch their bibleBut I'm viable, for me to stay tribal
And keep making these flows undeniable
But it's viable for me to stay tribal
And keep making these flows undeniableI won't drown, drown, drown in your society
High times, it's a high society
Lies, lies everyone keeps tryin' me
Why won't they just let me be? It's a high societyDrown, drown, drown in your society
High times, it's a high society
Lies, lies everyone keeps tryin' me
Why won't they just let me be? It's a high societyNow, a nation that's stolen, can never be golden
Compassion's not true in, in this shallow mound of ruin
Modern industry, the industrial complex
A system of no balance and not enough checksDisease bred, transmitted through sex
Revelation through provision
Can you pay the tuition? Can you make the grade?
Is life really all about getting paid?Money can't buy nothin' buried in a grave
Slave driven, unforgiven
The more you make, the better you're livin'
So it's all role-playin', playing roles, grave diggers diggin' holesGenetics strange, passed down through years of pain
So the cure you seek for the mentally weak is just the norm
As we weather the storm, so, it's conform or suffer

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Samuel Paul "Sammy" Kershaw (born February 24, 1958, in Kaplan, Louisiana) is an American Country and Western music singer and songwriter.

He is a relative of Cajun music legend, Doug Kershaw.

After the death of his father when Sammy was 11, he worked a variety of jobs by day while playing roadhouses at night to support his family.

During that time, he opened shows for Ray Price, Merle Haggard and George Jones while barely into his teens. When the pressures of growing up fast took their toll in the form of a serious drug and alcohol problem, he quit his bad habits cold turkey in 1988 and took a break from music to work as a remodeling supervisor at Wal-Mart.

One of Kershaw's demo tapes made its way to Mercury Records, which released his debut album in 1991. His traditional country voice found a receptive audience in the early 1990s, with hits like "Cadillac Style," "She Don't Know She's Beautiful" and a remake of the Amazing Rhythm Aces' "Third Rate Romance."

Shortly thereafter, Kershaw and Lorrie Morgan divorced their spouses and married in 2001. They separated two years later, but quickly reconciled. Prior to their marriages, Kershaw and Morgan recorded two duets - "Maybe Not Tonight" and "He Drinks Tequila", both of which made the Top 40.

He has released over 14 albums in his career including "I Want My Money Back" on Audium Records in 2003.

Kershaw filed for protection under Chapter 13 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on February 7, 2007.
