Everybody do the Flakka Skibidi!

lyrics

Heard you had yourself a hell of a time
couldn't get it together to the pay the note on that sweet ride
so you're hoofin' it, yeah, you got your thumb out,
the bus driver knows all of your names
seems like nobody nowhere is hiring
and you're running out of folks to blame
feels like it ain't even worth trying to get by--
but I gotta ask: motherfucker, how did you get so high?

Who you trying to kid, kid?
Everybody out here knows what you did
they know what you did they know what you do,
Gonna make sure you get what's coming to you

Son, what the hell you doing in that tree?
Is that the bath salts boogie or some flakka skibidi?
You're gonna wanna get those clothes on
before mama comes around the corner with a switch
you know she'll just love you even more
once you're really truly everybody's bitch
For now, though, mama's just trying to get by--
but even mama got to ask, son, how did you get so high?

Chorus

Another night of mac n cheese and no goddamn milk
and there's people in the world eating gold and wiping their asses with silk
want a taste? Hey? Want some glamour?
Want some jewels to bedazzle your cock?
Hate the player hate the game, they're both the same
once they outline your body with chalk.
And we'll bury you and then we'll try to just get by,
and everyone will ask the same question: how did he get so high?

Chorus
