Stoner By Heart

[Verse 1]
Ash on my shirt
Burn hole in my jeans
Laughin’ at the past
Like it’s all deleted scenes
Eyes half closed
But my aim still sharp
Dreams in the daytime
Trouble after dark
Ridin’ in a rust-bucket
Speakers ‘bout to fall apart
Middle finger to the world
I’m a stoner by heart
[Chorus]
I’m a stoner by heart, not just habit
If there’s peace in the room, I’ma grab it
With my burnouts, dropouts, outcasts
We don’t fold, we just outlast
I’m a stoner by heart, that’s my damage
Turn the pain into smoke, then I manage
All the noise, all the hurt, all the scars
I’m a stoner by heart (by heart, by heart)
[Verse 2]
Mama said “boy, you can’t stay lit”
But the flame in my chest been built like this
I’ve been high on hope since ‘09
Tryna outrun every low in my own mind
Homie got clean, I respect that path
I still roll mine tight, still crack that laugh
Different ways we escape, same broken parts
You take prayer, I take sparks
Tattoo on my wrist say “start”
Every drag like I’m pressin’ restart
Halo crooked, but I play my part
Love too loud, yeah I’m stained and stark
[Chorus]
I’m a stoner by heart, not just habit
If there’s peace in the room, I’ma grab it
With my burnouts, dropouts, outcasts
We don’t fold, we just outlast
I’m a stoner by heart, that’s my damage
Turn the pain into smoke, then I manage
All the noise, all the hurt, all the scars
I’m a stoner by heart (by heart, by heart)
[Bridge]
Yeah, I’m lit but I’m lucid (hey!)
Got a past, I don’t lose it
Still that kid in the schoolyard
Turned the shame into cool art
If I crash, I’ll restart
I got fire in this cracked heart
Call it wrong, call it art
Either way, it’s who I am
[Chorus]
I’m a stoner by heart, not just habit
If there’s peace in the room, I’ma grab it
With my burnouts, dropouts, outcasts
We don’t fold, we just outlast
I’m a stoner by heart, that’s my damage
Turn the pain into smoke, then I manage
All the noise, all the hurt, all the scars
I’m a stoner by heart (by heart, by heart)
