Lyrics

[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...
