Lyrics

Bushwick Junkie

I was only making the move

Trying very hard to get back to you

I was only chilling in style

Make a move to kill in an awful while

I was only trying to get by

I was only trying to get high

I was only acting the part

If the rest don't take a part of it

I was only breaking my back a while

To making money to be a cat a while

I was only trying to get high

I was only trying to get high

Before the sunrise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise

I was only trying to get high

I was only trying to get high

I was only trying to get high

It said

I was only trying to get high

Before the sunrise at the dawn
