Highest in the Game
Eastside Ninjas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shit is wild and tensions heavy
No matter what it is
Or what it ain't
Or what it can be
It’s me
here from uber fates
And karma sent me
I roll with ESN and MNE'll represent me
I'm wide open like a half a zip
And 5th of Henny
I stay choking like I'm blowing smoke
That Paul sent me
Top shelf light green
And it shine like jade stone
My mindset old school
Just like a pay phone
They're telling me to hang em up
I'm off the hook and outta touch
Fuck the world a busy signal
Tell em all get off my nuts
Cause they ain't even got the numbers
To tap in
Stay lucrative from
Front to the back end
Let's cash in

Stay trying to smoke good
They calling us no goods
We only trying to catch up
with the name game

Fuck it level up
We are not the same man
Higher than the highest
In the game never changing

Stay trying to smoke good
They calling us no goods
We only trying to catch up
with the name game

Fuck it level up
We are not the same man
Higher than the highest
In the game never changing

Peter piper
picked ah
player
wit hot rhymes
nickel diming
was brought up on
living hard times

hey I can see my future
and it’s all good
living on the block
of the misunderstood
(muthafucka)

I got a feeling
I’m
winning..
let’s take it
all the way

can’t see the hate
cause
I’m high...
and floating
through the day

memory’s keep me focused
so let me think back
way before whiplash
from rock-in
to a dope track

crack a bottle
let’s celebrate
a brand new beginning

been ah looser
so my
only focus
now is winning

staying real as it gets
and I ain’t never changing

looking at what’s left
we coming for the takin

Stay trying to smoke good
They calling us no goods
We only trying to catch up
with the name game

Fuck it level up
We are not the same man
Higher than the highest
In the game never changing

Stay trying to smoke good
They calling us no goods
We only trying to catch up
with the name game

Fuck it level up
We are not the same man
Higher than the highest
In the game never changing

Don’t be playin wit me boy this ain’t a game I ain’t a toy
must I explain why I love to destroy

Look around I’m feelin the pain fillin the void feel like the same
Situation that I try to avoid

Come outta pocket imma put a hole in ya the size of a big rock
It just shows you how I roll

I ain’t losin y’all no
I rather put the gun to my head an let it go

You know every word that I said is worth the gold
That’s why ya listen instead of leavin me alone

I don’t give a fuck about bread I want the dough
I’m given the sweat an I bled in the microphone
Any time I’m in the zone what

Stay trying to smoke good
They calling us no goods
We only trying to catch up
with the name game

Fuck it level up
We are not the same man
Higher than the highest
In the game never changing

Stay trying to smoke good
They calling us no goods
We only trying to catch up
with the name game

Fuck it level up
We are not the same man
Higher than the highest
In the game never changing

All the way up it’s the apex
Towering over all of you basics
Flying like a spaceship
Way past the clouds
You can tell I’m bringing hell
With the fire raining down on em
Go to town on em they don’t get down like this
Get ya face fixed verbal face lift
Ya counterfeit knock-off designer fits
Need to quit face it career a glitch in the matrix
Stay off my plane
bitches still snitching for change
hanging off nuts addicted to fame
I’m about that guap dividends that never drop
Stay the highest in the game an it’s never gonna stop

Stay trying to smoke good
They calling us no goods
We only trying to catch up
with the name game

Fuck it level up
We are not the same man
Higher than the highest
In the game never changing

Stay trying to smoke good
They calling us no goods
We only trying to catch up
with the name game

Fuck it level up
We are not the same man




Higher than the highest
In the game never changing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Highest in the Game by Eastside Ninjas describe the turbulent and tense nature of life, regardless of what it may entail, while recognizing the power of fate and karma. The singer is affiliated with the ESN and MNE groups, and he describes his drug-induced state, consistently smoking weed and choking from inhaling the smoke. He boasts about smoking the best quality cannabis by stating it is 'top shelf light green, and it shines like Jade stone.' The singer implies that he is out of touch with the world, but they lack the numbers to 'tap in,' and he will remain lucrative from front to back end.


The chorus is repeated twice, emphasizing that they are trying to level up, 'not the same man, higher than the highest in the game, never changing. The second verse begins by highlighting the hardships and pain the singer has had to endure living in a misunderstood world. However, he sees his future as good and is determined to remain focused on winning while celebrating the milestone. The chorus repeats again, followed by another verse from a different rapper, describing himself as a destructive force not to be toyed with. He goes on to say that he doesn't care about the money or fame, only the art of perfecting his craft, and he will continue to be the highest in the game.

I am dominating my opponents in a unique way


Get ya face fixed verbal face lift
My music will shock and impress you


Ya counterfeit knock-off designer fits
You are inferior in comparison to me


Need to quit face it career a glitch in the matrix
You should give up because you do not belong in this field


Stay off my plane
Stay away from me and do not try to compete with me


bitches still snitching for change
People are still trying to bring me down even if it benefits them little


hanging off nuts addicted to fame
People are obsessed with success and will do anything to achieve it


I’m about that guap dividends that never drop
I am focused on long-term financial success


Stay the highest in the game an it’s never gonna stop
I will continue to be the best and remain successful forever
