Overall Meaning

The song "What's The Altitude" by Cut Chemist is an upbeat and energetic song with a mash-up of various musical elements like rap, electronica, and psychedelic rock. The lyrics in the song have a sense of excitement and adventure, with references to chemistry and drug-like love. The song starts with a dedication to "the fabulous weeze," a reference that isn't quite clear, followed by an invitation to party.


The main verse describes a relationship between two people who bond over music and chemistry. The singer describes how they "made the perfect day" when they "played the night and sun." The woman in question wants the singer to know something she doesn't even know herself. They create a vocal mission together, and the singer describes it as "cosmic." However, the woman cautions against painting her picture or getting too close, warning that love is like a drug and chemistry can be dangerous.


The chorus repeats the phrase "What's the altitude," a question without a clear answer, followed by the woman responding, "it's alright." The song continues with various references to music and partying, with the singer describing how the woman gave him headphones and introduced him to underground sounds. Towards the end of the song, there's a reference to their relationship being like a drug, but they're living through chemistry and sharing what they now know with others.
