[Verse 1]
E
I was cruisin down the road
E
In a black burban
Am
Cause I'm tryin to figure out
Am
How to work again
E
Hoping to make
E
A stack of money
Am
Cause everyone requires it
Am
For that sticky icky honey yeah
E
Too bad the cops
E
Are all over me
Am
Just for tryin to transport
Am
A little green tree
E
Wanna ride my way
E
To easy street
Am
But all I got
Am E
Is this new beat
Yeah
------------------------------------------
[Chorus]

Why you gotta get so high
Am Am Am Am Am G E
Right before the calm of the storm

[Verse 2]
E
Livin life two
E
Gallons at a time
Am
Getting stuck in my
Am
Own damn mind
E
It seems like nothing makes it
E
Any better
Am
Got a cartoon rain cloud
Am
Only wetter
E
It let up for
E
Just a little bit
Am
Enough to make me throw the
Am
Towel and quit
E
Then the winds died
E
And my guard was down
Am
Tight when the storm
Am E
Turned back around
-------------------------------------------
[Chorus]
E E E E E G Am
Why you gotta get so high
Am Am Am Am Am G E
Right before the calm of the storm

[Verse 3]
E
Lightning flashes
E
And the thunder goes boom
Am
Washes me away
Am
Like a nuclear plume
E
Fines coming at me
E
Like each drop from the sky
Am
Leaves me wondering why
Am
I ever fucking try
E
Only if I owned
E
A pair of waterproof boots
Am
As this mud leaves my life
Am
A bit too loose
E
To even get a good
E
Standing chance to walk, and
Am
Now im here trying to rap
Am E
But sounding like a white man talking
--------------------------------------------
[Chorus]
E E E E E G Am
Why you gotta get so high
Am Am Am Am Am G E
Right before the calm of the storm
E E E E E G Am
Why you gotta get so high
Am Am Am Am Am G E
Right before the calm of the storm
E E E E E G Am
Why you gotta get so high
Am Am Am Am Am G E
Right before the calm of the storm
E E E E E G Am
Why you gotta get so high
Am E
RIGHT BEFORE THE CALM OF THE STORM

[Verse 4]
E
Sun finally shines
E
On this dreary day
Am
And i pick up the sticks
Am
From my lifes disarray
E
Head to the cabin
E
For some good time fun
Am
Thinking that theres gonna be
Am
No more rain to come
E
But then the clouds
E
Turn around once again
Am
Like, clockwork
Am
I'm left with no plan
E
Praying to god
E
That the storm passes over
Am
Gotta find my misplaced
Am
Four leaf clover
-----------------------------------------------
[Chorus]

Why you gotta get so high
Am Am Am Am Am G E
Right before the calm of the storm
