[Verse 1: Johan]
Can you pick me up
In your Chevy truck?
I still got some buds, yeah
We’ll go to the spot
By jumping rock
In the cloak of dark, yeah
It's one a.m., this town is dead
It's Friday night inside my head
But it's Tuesday night for everybody else
I'm on the curb, my hood is up
It's gettin' cold and you pull up
Ain't nothin' new to do since we were twelve (yeah)

[Chorus: Johan]
Let's go get high in the woods
Let's go get high in the woods
Let's go get high in the woods
And let our secrets out, yeah

[Verse 2: Vic Mensa]
Pick me up in your suburban
We sippin' bourbon and swervin'
TLC creepin', I be lurkin'
I might need a doctor, call Julius Erving
Back in 9th grade, I was smokin' and servin'
Call me Johnny Tsunami, I'm on the snow but I'm surfin'
Laughin' like I'm a jackal, I might turn into Mr. Hyde
Don't let me get too high, I'm like a whole different person
Vic, where you from? Wish-A-Nigga Woods
M. Night Shyamalan when I split the 'Wood
I am lightyears past just a little buzz
I be in the stars, I could give a spaceship a hug
I just heard my car talk to me, Shia Labeouf
I just rolled a green lightsaber, Skywalker kush
Holy Moses, find me floatin' off a burnin' bush
I could talk to God, I'm so high in the woods

[Chorus: Johan & Vic Mensa]
Let's go get high in the woods (yeah)
Let's go get high in the woods (SAVEMONEY)
Let's go get high in the woods (yeah)
And let our secrets out, yeah

[Bridge: Johan]
Let’s go get high in the woods, yeah
Let’s go get high in the woods, woo
Let’s go get high in the woods
And let our secrets out yeah, ooh

[Chorus: Johan & Vic Mensa]
Let's go get high in the woods (yeah)
Let's go get high in the woods
Let's go get high in the woods (yeah)
And let our secrets out, yeah

[Outro: Vic Mensa]
What's my fuckin' name?
Mic Vensa?
Mic Vensa!

Until 2010, Johan had never seriously listened to any kind of popular music–he was fully immersed in the world of classical, as an award-winning composer and self-taught pianist. But then Johan was introduced to Kanye West’s symphonic 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, while on acid at a house party in the suburban Massachusetts town where he grew up. Captivated, he immediately began teaching himself how to sing and produce contemporary songs.

In 2016, Johan became the composer for Yeethoven–a concert featuring the music of Kanye West and Beethoven juxtaposed and combined by a 50-piece orchestra. Johan’s work soon caught the attention of Mike Dean and No I.D., both of whom he’s worked with extensively since then on albums for Travis Scott (Astroworld), Teyana Taylor, Nas, Kanye West, Vic Mensa and others. His contributions on these records range from writing and production, to composing and singing grandiose choral atmospheres to orchestrating symphonic interludes.

Now, Johan is releasing new music of his own, featuring the same vocal and orchestral textures he contributed to these artists. They appear not as background components in his work, but as a central compositional feature–something Kanye West personally encouraged him to consider when working on Teyana Taylor’s album.
