The Highs & The Lows lyrics

The highs and the lows
The highs
The lows
I’m an emotional roller coaster
With highs so high, I could put Bol Bol on a poster
But when the bread get low like four loaves in a toaster
Oh the shoulders can get cold as ten toes in Nova Scotia
Some days I hold a grudge
Some days I Holy Ghost her
Some days I just ghost her
Some days I’m supposed to
The crib feel like a gunfight but them strollers that’s the holster
We could make amends over old memes and mimosas
My mama know I ain’t make my bed
But Ima lay in it
Whether it’s sandpaper, suede, linen
Whether I’m alone or Creole lady marmalade-ing it
The same pajamas I was afraid in
I boogeyman slayed
My blankets concealed my blade in it
Emotional seesaw
With two fat motherfuckers with strong knees in free fall
It’s cloudy with a chance of meatballs
I checked the weather
I gave all my vices a call
Let’s get together
To talk about the highs and lows
The ups and downs
The friends that I had to hide to come around
They told me that I knew you’d always come around
Come around
Come around
Come around
Come around
To work out the highs and lows
The ups and downs
No need to hide disguises coming down
Go and get high
I promise you’re coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
It’s hard to keep your eyes on the road
And you feel your back’s on the ropes
You gotta take the highs with the lows
You gotta take the highs with the lows
You’re lost and you’re running out of hope
Looking for the best way to cope
Just know we all been there before
You gotta take the highs with the lows
BadMON
I was feeling lifeless
I had to cut my vices
Now the feeling that I feel is priceless
Inner spirit want me to be righteous
But I know I might just relapse
Get sucked in these devices
Got so used to feedback
I couldn’t tell what mines is
Sometimes all the outside noise just really blinds us
Beware
Believe none of what you see and half of what you hear
The best things in life on the opposite side of fear
I swear I see it clear like after the storm
Still you can’t stop the rain like the Loose Ends song
My word is bond like James
Yo I couldn’t complain
Cause even when I did niggas really couldn’t feel my pain
That’s the type of shit to drive a nigga insane
Wanna be numb now your thumb back flicking the flame
Back to square one
Trying to overcome what you became
Like they was right
I guess you’re never gonna change
When It’s hard to keep your eyes on the road
You start to feel your back on the ropes
You gotta take the highs with the lows
You gotta take the highs with the lows
Lost and you’re running out of hope
And you’re looking for the best way to cope
Just know we all been there before
You gotta take the highs with the lows
To talk about the highs with the lows
The ups and downs
The friends that I had to hide to come around
They told me that I knew you’d always come around
Come around
Come around
Come around
Come around
To work out the highs and lows
The ups and downs
No need to hide disguises coming down
Go and get high
I promise you’re coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down

“The best things in life are on the opposite side of fear” - Joey Bada$$

[kristopherson]

A well needed song. Just remember folks... in order to experience the Highs, you must endure the lows. stay stronggg

[kimchikimchi]

Such a full circle moment. They started off as teenagers touring together now they are fathers rapping about praising God. It’s beautiful.

[stephenbowers]

If u slappin this and fightin them demons, it gets greater later. Stay strong ✊🏾

[NdCRants]

Yeah this is hard. Sounds like he’s been doing a lot of reflection so I hope that this album reflects that. When egos are put aside, Chance is one of the best we have

[LFA]

Yo this took me way back, i mean somewhere nice.
R.I.P mac miller
R.I.P capital steez 🕊🤍

[johnchipozgambo]

This song feels like a hug. It feels like your friends have come to hang out and cheer you up during a rough time

[ReddCinema]

Chance & Joey are soo talented, love the collab!! 💯💯

[Jøel-]

This project so far might be his most fleshed out, and might be the most personal out of all of his work, I look forward to what he has to offer.

[futureshock]

This is the kind of music that can help save someone’s life. This is the kind of music society needs.

[colelysne]

The fact that he displays every lyric in this video shows how proud he is of his songwriting. Most rappers nowadays would be terrified to highlight their lyrics but Chance thrives in it.

[NLzARN]

This is art. The rapping, beat, cinematography, everything is beautiful and real af. Def gon be on repeat.

[Samm-rjls]

Just heard this song for the first time yesterday and I can’t describe the feeling I get every time I listen to it now. I feel like I heard this song at a perfect time in my life cuz I just recently adopted the mindset of just knowing that life is always changing no matter what and you can’t control it but what you can control is yourself and how you react to changes. Or in other words, taking the highs with the lows.

[joseescobar]

CHANCE PLEASE KEEP MAKING MUSIC LIKE THIS!! THIS IS WHAT WE, AS OUR FANS, HAVE BEEN WANTING SINCE COLORING BOOK 3.

[xWUNDRWAFFLx]

This really brings me back to the days of Acid Rap and 1999 and good times, glad to see this collab finally happen again

[minty]

Chance is really at his best when he's coming from the heart and making soul-cleansing music like his verse on Ultralight beam

[austinreitzloff]

The rap game needs more music like this.

[MRiGOin]

I feel like he gearing up to drop an album and I’m here for it 🔥🔥🔥
