Ft. Vybz Kartel & Baby G

Bounty Killer & (Vybz Kartel)
High altitude, smokin proud, sittin on a cloud
(Corleone, Baby G an Kartel, higher dan before)
(Knock knock knockin on heaven's door)
Thats right, Babylon nah nuh coke out if dem get one a this
(Hey, mi nuh know bout yuh) Lawd a mercy
(But mi know bout mi)

(Baby G)
When I smoke, I get so high (High Altitude)
It makes mi feel like I wanna fly {Christly}
When yuh look and see the red in my eyes
In my eyes, my eyes

1: Vybz Kartel & (Bounty Killer)
Hey, weh di weed (Mek mi billy)
Spliff tea (Mi a killy)
Inna blunt (Mi a filly)
Inna roll (Dis philly)
Mi have blend (Inna mi pocket)
Rizzla (Inna mi jacket)
Spliff big like a rocket inna Mr. NASA bracket
(Lighta nuh tack it weh mi push inna di racket)
An higher dan di attic a nuh shot like a matic
(Police mi nah drop it inna rubbish inna trash it a foot a time mash it world war is a tappy)
A nuh Dada a nuh Wayne a nuh Richie a nuh Prophet
(But a same so mi love chronic dont stop draffy)
Big man weh mi stoppin (Di weed bus happy)
(Tek money cop it champagne me a pop it)
Don have internet mek mi laptop it
(Flight inna plane Portmore mi a drop in)
Bling Dawg have a straight vehicle fi drop top it, inna sheet mi a lack it God alone cyan stop mi
(Smoke out)
Yuh see mi

(Baby G)
When I smoke, I get so high (Smoke like a muffler)
It makes mi feel like I wanna fly {All hustler}
Can yuh look an see the red in my eyes
In my eyes, my eyes

2: Vybz Kartel & (Bounty Killer)
Hey, weed inna rizzla an inna philly blunts
Mek mi head happy an a do di Willie Bounce
Wonda if mi fi cool fi couple months
(Yuh modda yuh nuh have lock jaw inna yuh mumphs)
(My spliff taller than Bin Ladin guns)
My spliff bigga than one dozen kette drums
(A regula mi bounce to di bank fi di funds fi go buy ganja fi mek it love fi mi lungs)
Mi nah guh tek nuh drugs, a suh come
Mi weed haffi bad like inna city slums
(Di center have Christian Jerico column
(Dem a style weed man as idlers an bum)
Bout wi fi kill man fi all weed growers
(Bounty wi shot dem one million mega hones when dem see di unity weed man a bounce, cross)

(Baby G)
When I smoke, I get so high (High Altitude)
It makes mi feel like I wanna fly {Christly}
Can yuh look an see the red in my eyes
In my eyes, my eyes

Interlude: Bounty Killer & (Vybz Kartel)
Yo, yuh know its Don Corleone, 5 Star General, Baby G
Di Vybz to di Kartel, High Altitude
(Mi nuh know bout yuh, but mi know bout mi)

(Baby G)
When I smoke, I get so high (High Altitude)
It makes mi feel like I wanna fly {Christly}




Can yuh look and see the red in my eyes
In my eyes, my eyes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bounty Killer's "High Altitude", featuring Vybz Kartel and Baby G, describe the sensation of smoking marijuana and feeling the effects of the drug's high altitude. Bounty Killer and the other two artists describe how they feel when they smoke and how it makes them feel like they are sitting on a cloud, flying. They mention that Babylon, or those who oppose the use of drugs, will not be able to experience the same kind of high.


Throughout the lyrics, the artists discuss smoking weed, its effects on them, and how they feel about marijuana usage, making it clear that they are happy to indulge in the drug. They depict themselves as confident, empowered, and independent because they are free to smoke the marijuana they enjoy.


The title "High Altitude" itself is a metaphor for the euphoria and intoxication one experiences when they consume marijuana. The song boasts similarities to traditional reggae songs in its emphasis on using marijuana as a form of resistance to oppressive systems.
