I got that Uptown Haze, feel good, I’m floatin’ away — (yeah yeah)

Got that vibe that’ll clear my brain, sunshine even on gray days — (ayy-ayy)

Feelin’ that Uptown wave, city lights glow when I blaze — (uh-huh uh-huh)

If you lost just find your place — (in that, in that) Uptown Haze — (yeah yeah)

“oo-oo-oo”

“Uptown Haze”

“haze-haze-haze”

“uh-uh”

I got that Uptown Haze, yeah I’m good, I’m gone, I’m glazed — (woo woo)

Feelin’ free, no bills, no chains — (just me and the stars we chase)

⸻

Rooftop view, got my mind unwindin’ — (uh-huh yeah)

Clouds so thick, can’t see where the time went — (wooo)

Dreams in smoke, got me rewindin’ — (hmm hmm)

Back to the days when life felt silent — (yeah)

Old soul, new shoes, same mission — (let’s go)

Tryna stay true in a world of fiction — (uh)

Cudi in the speakers, moonlight glisten — (ayyy)

If you listen close, that’s peace you missin’ — (mmm yeah)

“aaaah”

(stacked hums, three-part harmony)

Ooooh-oooh, yeah yeah — (Uptown nights, Uptown high …)

Feelin’ right — (feelin’ fine inside my mind …)

They said the city cold, I just light and breathe — (hah)

Tryna find heaven in the air I breathe — (woo)

Memories heavy like the L-train speed — (chh)

But the haze lift weight that my heart can’t keep — (yup)

Feelin’ so alone but it’s all okay — (yeah yeah)

Every puff bring a thought I can’t quite say — (mmm)

Now I’m high with my shadow, talkin’ ’bout pain — (ahh ahh)

And the city sound fade like the echo of rain — (rain … rain …)

“mm-mm-mm … Uptown Haze … fade away …”
