Sally called when she got the word She said: "I suppose you've heard - About Alice" Well I rushed to the window And I looked outside But I could hardly believe my eyes - As a big limousine rolled up Into Alice's drive Oh, I don't know why she's leaving Or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons But I just don't want to know 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Alice, who the fuck is Alice? Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice Alice, who the fuck is Alice? Grew up together Two kids in the park Carved our initials Deep in the bark Me and Alice Now she walks through the door With her head held high Just for a moment, I caught her eye As a big limousine pulled slowly Out of Alice's drive Oh, I don't know why she's leaving Or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons But I just don't want to know 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Alice, who the fuck is Alice? Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice Alice, who the fuck is Alice? Sally called back, asked how I felt She said: "I know how to help get over Alice" She said: "Now Alice is gone But I'm still here You know I've been waiting For twenty-four years" And the big limousine disappeared I don't know why she's leaving Or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons But I just don't want to know 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Alice, who the fuck is Alice? Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice Alice, who the fuck is Alice? Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice

(Verse 1) Yeah, the sun's breakin’ through, I’m feelin’ that rise, Elevate my mind, never lookin’ for the lies, Clouds below me, see the world from a view, Got my crew with me, yeah, we just breakin’ through. Rollin' up that good, while we're chillin’ in the light, Lost in the moment, man, it’s pure cosmic flight, Life's a journey, and I won't let it pass me by, Keep my chin up, swear, I don’t cry when I’m high. (Chorus) I don’t cry when I’m high, man, I laugh and I shine, Life’s a canvas, lettin’ love intertwine, Reach for the stars, let ‘em light up the sky, Living each second, got my wings so I fly. (Verse 2) Lookin’ back, I’m thankful for the grind and the strife, Lessons in the lows, but I’m livin' for the life, Every setback just a setup for the next, Risin’ like the sun, man, fueled by respect. Got a vision in my soul, and it’s clearer than the days, Chasin’ dreams like a runner in a wild chase, With my head in the clouds, I’m not worried ‘bout the time, Every beat in my heart feels like a rhythm, so sublime. (Chorus) I don’t cry when I’m high, man, I laugh and I shine, Life’s a canvas, lettin’ love intertwine, Reach for the stars, let ‘em light up the sky, Living each second, got my wings so I fly. (Bridge) So lift your spirit up, let it soar like a kite, We’re painting our future with colors so bright, In a world filled with noise, I find my own vibe, Life’s too short, I embrace every tribe. (Outro) So when the clouds roll in, I won’t drown in the storm, I’ll dance in the rain, just break out of the norm, With my heart wide open, there’s no reason to sigh, Feel that elevation, I don’t cry when I’m high. (Fade out with beat) Yeah, keep elevating, keep on creating, Living a life that’s worth celebrating, With the music in my soul, and the world in my eyes, I don’t cry when I’m high, nah, I rise and I rise.

[Verse] Millie and Gimili run and play In the park every single day Chasing tails under skies so blue Together forever just those two [Verse 2] Roll in the grass side by side Laughing wild nowhere to hide Sunshine kisses flowers sway Free as the wind they dance and they [Chorus] Hearts collide in a burst of joy Two souls bound since they were a boy Hand and paw across the field Love so raw nothing's concealed [Verse 3] Gimili barks Millie laughs loud Echoes rise up to touch the clouds Their love's a storm strong and true Lightning strikes out of the blue [Verse 4] Through the seasons the colors change But their spirits never age In the rain they find a way To keep the sunshine every day [Chorus] Hearts collide in a burst of joy Two souls bound since they were a boy Hand and paw across the field Love so raw nothing’s concealed

[Verse] In West Phila, Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast, Spent days shootin' hoops, just tryna perfect this, Corner stores buzzin', chaos in the air, Life flippin' upside down, movin' to Bel-Air. [Chorus] A prince in Bel-Air, oh the tales I gotta share, From cheesesteaks to butlers, we breathe a different air, Hustle in my veins, now it's luxury I wear, A fresh prince crowned, life struttin' on a dare. [Verse 2] Fights out front, mama said it's time to go, To Uncle Phil's palace, court cases halo, Jazz on the keys, hits a note so sweet, West Coast livin', made the East retreat. [Chorus] Tales from Bel-Air, in this mansion we're rare, Comedy in opulence, groove on a stair, Old friends to new thrones, we're royalty, beware, A fresh prince etched, in the breeze of Bel-Air. [Bridge] Carlton with the dance moves, flips a switch, Hilary and Ashley, designer clothes stitched, Family ties thick, drama in the twitch, Poolside laughter, life's sand in the pitch. [Verse 3] Schoolin' fools at prep, swag on deck, Chess game strategy, no room for the wreck, Lessons Uncle Phil taught, echo through halls, In Bel-Air's kingdom, rise after every fall.
