[Chorus: Joji]
High hopes
High hopes
High hopes
High hopes

[Verse 1: Joji]
A little messed up, do you feel it?
A little bit of this and a little bit of that
She wanna know which way I'm leanin'
Am I really made of this? Am I really made of that?
And is it so bad if you need me?
Just a little bit, woah, don't get rid of me, ayy
But love is so blind when you feel it (So blind)
Can't defeat it, hope you feelin' good

[Chorus: Joji]
High hopes
High hopes
High hopes
High hopes

[Verse 2: Omar Apollo]
I'ma talk like I don't really mean it
Bless me, St. John's, I'ma act like I don't really need it
Bet you see these funds, ayy, they gon' cheer me up, ayy
Brand new whip sound like Cheerio, ayy, yеah, ayy
Wake me up, Rey Mystеrio, ayy, yeah, hey
Wipe my eyes, can't see clearly, though
I been on the block, boy move soft like some cereal, ayy, yeah
High hopes with you, man, I wanna see you again
High hopes with you, man, I wanna see you again (Yeah, yeah)
I don't think you good at keepin' secrets
All the bags on the floor make you heated
Blind my eyes, boy too bright, he got them sequins
Man, I hope you comin' back to cop that free shit
Back to cop that free shit, that's elite shit

[Chorus: Joji]
High hopes
High hopes

George Kusunoki Miller ( ジョージ・ミラー, born September 18th, 1992), commonly known as Joji, is a New-York based producer and singer signed to 88rising. His artist name comes from the Japanese pronunciation of “George”, as he is half Australian/Japanese.

Originally producing comedy skits on YouTube under the name DizastaMusic, his first break came when he uploaded this video in 2011. This was the origin of his bizarre, inappropriate, YouTube community guideline-bending persona known as Filthy Frank, through which he gained internet prominence and millions of YouTube subscribers.

His more serious venture into music was compromised as a side-project to his comedy skits, and so he started releasing music under Joji in 2015 on his private SoundCloud page. He explained in a January 2016 Instagram post, he then decided to make his account public and released two singles from his then-upcoming project Chloe Burbank Volume 1: “you suck charlie” and “thom.” While he kept releasing material on his SoundCloud page.
