High
Freddie Gibbs Madlib Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trillest nigga living ever pushed out
Never finished college, like my brother or my sister
I was in the crib laying on a kush cloud
Getting zoned out, eyes red
Mommy and my daddy said my mind dead
They said I never had a clue, said the bills past due
Fuck you, nigga, you gotta remind Fred
Remember when these niggas wouldn't fuck with me
But now I'm on the screen and these magazines
They be trying to stop a nigga like "smoke something, G"
"Can we get a couple grams?" nigga, hell nah
Unless you come in with the cash, tried to tell y'all
I got you motherfuckers gassed on the smell, dog
So go 'head and take a hit of what I'm 'bout to sell y'all
I gets high
I get high, I get high, I get high
(I gets high)
I get so blowed I can't stand up
I'm in the bed with Elise and Amanda
Cause in my shows I make them hoes put their hands up
So they came into my room, they getting rammed up
We trying to slam or what? Because I'm trying to smoke
So when I finish with these Swishers I'll be down your throat
And two of y'all, one of me, three of us
Should I hit my niggas up? Hell nah, I'mma pound them both
Cause this a one man job, ain't no need for the crew
Two snow bunnies on the East, what it do?
White snow in the crib if you need that too
Got some bitches and some bud, nigga, bring that through
I gets high
I get high, I get high, I get high
(I gets high)
Early in the morning getting high with crusty eyes
Rubbing on a mother, well you know it's do or die
Hopping off the porch, had to get on my grind
All because the trouble just copped to my nine
Back in the Caddy smoking Swishers with my nigga
Make a store run, 'bout to cop out some liquor
Burning down basements, face it
Run a bus stop, I'm trading hoes and you know we ain't paying
Midwest, loving all the doping in the kitchen
Heating up the house where your shit could come up missin'
Dope fiend tripping cause he just copped a nick
But he say he can't find it, but it's right in his pocket
All day long, gotta get my guap
Just put a deuce and I'm smoking on the tropic
On a different subject, lights is the topic
'Cause he talking money so nigga just stop it
All day long getting high on the low
Bitch snow bunny be sniffing that snow
Twerking that summer, I really don't know
Cause me, Freddie Gibbs, Madlib stay blowed
I get high, I get high, I get high
(I gets high)
Hey, are you okay?
You slobbing, you okay?
Is he okay?
Are you okay?
He shouldn't have smoked that dipper for real
You aight?
Oh my God
God bless, man

Indo, kushed out
I'm so high on weed, I feel like I'm floating on a cloud
Trillest nigga living ever pushed out
I'm the most real person, but still feel pushed out like I don't belong
Never finished college, like my brother or my sister
I never finished college, like my siblings. I've always gone my own way in life.
I was in the crib laying on a kush cloud
I was in my house, high on weed, relaxing
Getting zoned out, eyes red
I'm so high I'm zoning out, and my eyes are bloodshot
Mommy and my daddy said my mind dead
My parents disapprove of my lifestyle and think I'm wasting my mind away
They said I never had a clue, said the bills past due
My parents think I have no plan for my future, and my bills are piling up
Fuck you, nigga, you gotta remind Fred
I don't care what my parents say, and if you do, you have to remind me (Fred) of their opinions
Cause I'm care-free, sucker-free
I don't care what people think of me and I'm not naive
Remember when these niggas wouldn't fuck with me
I remember when people didn't want to hang out with me
But now I'm on the screen and these magazines
Now I'm successful, and these magazines want to interview me
They be trying to stop a nigga like "smoke something, G"
Interviewers try to get me to smoke weed during interviews to make me look bad
"Can we get a couple grams?" nigga, hell nah
People ask me for weed, but I won't give it to them unless they pay for it
Unless you come in with the cash, tried to tell y'all
If you want my weed, you have to give me the money first. I told you this already.
I got you motherfuckers gassed on the smell, dog
My weed smells so good, people get excited to smoke it
So go 'head and take a hit of what I'm 'bout to sell y'all
Go ahead and try my weed, you won't regret it.
I get so blowed I can't stand up
I get so high, I can't stand up straight
I'm in the bed with Elise and Amanda
I'm in bed with two women named Elise and Amanda
Cause in my shows I make them hoes put their hands up
When I perform, the women go crazy and raise their hands
So they came into my room, they getting rammed up
The women followed me to my room, and things got sexual
We trying to slam or what? Because I'm trying to smoke
Are we going to have sex, or are we going to smoke weed?
So when I finish with these Swishers I'll be down your throat
When I'm done smoking these cigars, I'll be ready to have sex
And two of y'all, one of me, three of us
Two women and one man are in the room
Should I hit my niggas up? Hell nah, I'mma pound them both
I don't need to call anyone else, I'm going to have sex with both women by myself
Cause this a one man job, ain't no need for the crew
I don't need anyone else in the room for what I have planned
Two snow bunnies on the East, what it do?
Two white women from the East Coast are with me, what's up?
White snow in the crib if you need that too
I have cocaine at home if anyone wants it
Got some bitches and some bud, nigga, bring that through
I have some women and weed, come over and hang out
Early in the morning getting high with crusty eyes
I wake up early and start smoking weed with my eyes barely open
Rubbing on a mother, well you know it's do or die
I'm having sex with a woman, and it's serious business
Hopping off the porch, had to get on my grind
I'm leaving my house to go make money
All because the trouble just copped to my nine
I have a gun because of trouble in my life
Burning down basements, face it
I'm burning down buildings and nobody can stop me
Run a bus stop, I'm trading hoes and you know we ain't paying
I'm selling prostitutes and not paying for the bus stop
Midwest, loving all the doping in the kitchen
I'm in the Midwest, loving the money I'm making selling drugs
Heating up the house where your shit could come up missin'
I'm making money and I'm willing to steal to get more
Dope fiend tripping cause he just copped a nick
A drug addict is tripping because he bought an underwhelming amount of drugs
But he say he can't find it, but it's right in his pocket
The drug addict can't find his drugs, even though they're in his pocket
All day long, gotta get my guap
I'm making money all day long
Just put a deuce and I'm smoking on the tropic
I just drank codeine and I'm smoking high-quality weed
On a different subject, lights is the topic
Let's talk about something else; I want to discuss the subject of police lights
'Cause he talking money so nigga just stop it
Someone is talking about money and it's getting annoying
All day long getting high on the low
I'm getting high all day long and trying to keep it a secret
Bitch snow bunny be sniffing that snow
A white woman who likes cocaine is around
Twerking that summer, I really don't know
A woman is dancing provocatively, and I'm not sure why
Cause me, Freddie Gibbs, Madlib stay blowed
Because I, Freddie Gibbs, and Madlib are always high on weed
Hey, are you okay?
I'm checking on someone to see if they're doing okay
You slobbing, you okay?
You're drooling, are you doing alright?
Is he okay?
Is that person okay?
Are you okay?
Are you doing alright?
He shouldn't have smoked that dipper for real
He shouldn't have smoked whatever drug he just consumed
You aight?
Are you feeling better now?
Oh my God
An expression of surprise or shock
God bless, man
A way of saying goodbye or expressing well-wishes

I would like to thank Kanye west for turning down the 6 disks worth of beats that madlib offered him in the early 2010's, allowing Freddie the opportunity to step up and murder the the entire catalog..I love these two guys together.
@bakedbrownie69
sometimes things work out for the best, imagine if we didn't get pinata and bandana
@yo-man928
I think he turned down the bandana beats, not the beats on piñata
@johnflushing9328
That's hilarious 😂!
@solodolo4964
@@yo-man928 tbh tho bandana I think truly shows Gibbs at his best where’s to this album I think madlib gets to shine lil more. Don’t get me wrong that doesn’t mean he doesn’t spit bout 10 classic verses on both records either way 🐐
@all-caps3927
F Kanye this sh*t is better than any album he's produced. Madlib a better producer than him too, Gib and Madlib are leagues above Ye
