High
Grits Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

yeah yeah yeah
let the fire burn
let the fire roar
bouncin' back and forth to beat
gettin' angle wings to soar high

[Bonafide]
i gotta hit den submit it to
let the flame consume me, control me, that i would listen to it
glisten while its crissinin'
rhymes that bring presition through it
lines paintin' vision through it
lives resurrected through it
game well respected for it and that's why we so true with it and ain't gone never be through with it
why we so hot but cool with it
so fresh, so clean, so new with it
so let the fire burn
let the fire roar
build ya body baby
trust me you'll be comin' back for more
lack for no more
a thirst for no thing
hurt for no pain
a lust for no man
a woman not yours (whoa)
and that's the truth man
hundred fifty proof man
swig some and get dumb so you could get high

CHORUS 2 x

[Coffee]

Sink in favor what you pick behavior
flash across the screen it inflict the flavor
cherish and embrace in every moment saved uncontiously
our conquest
aimlessly they goin' bonkers smokin' on dat bombsess
foolishness and nonsense
we barely scratch the surface
not on purpose about a thousand times around with countless minds
we pass they lives as worthless
we poke our nose when those boys pose
we curious to see what's goin down when doors close
figure out they morris code
they box up they emotion
cause camotions
beyond they act like big fishes in a pond
but really rocks in a ocean
boned it eyes
saw da score
in '94
and we cleaned the floor
with pores that were soar
mended wings 'til we reached the core





CHORUS til fade out

Overall Meaning

The song "High" by Grits is about the power of music to create a transformative experience for the listener. The song opens with the inviting words "let the fire burn, let the fire roar," which encourages the listener to let go of inhibition and allow the music to take over. The next line "bouncin' back and forth to beat, gettin' angel wings to soar high" makes it clear that music is the focal point of the song, and that it has the power to transport the listener to another level of consciousness.


The verses are delivered by each member of the duo, Coffee and Bonafide, and both explore different aspects of the transformative power of music. Bonafide's verse is about the process of creating music, and how it can be a consuming experience that takes over the artist completely. The lines "let the flame consume me, control me, that I would listen to it" and "glisten while it's crissinin'" describe the intensity of the creative process, and how it can create a masterpiece that is greater than the sum of its parts.


Coffee's verse, on the other hand, is about the effect that music can have on the listener. He talks about how music can influence behavior and create a sense of community, but also how it can lead to destructive behavior if not used responsibly.


Overall, "High" is a celebration of the transformative powers of music, as well as a reminder of the need to use it wisely and with care.

In elementary school, I went to this arts camp, and one of the arts we learned was dance. This was the song we danced to, and I just found it after 10 years!

@MrAkafful

I would like to see GRITS do a song with Lecrae, Sho Baraka, Tedashii or Trip Lee. That would be awesome :)

@GingerSnapChristian

@elijahwalton2248

@dumontSUX

Where all born sinners until we repent for forgiveness then and only then will God forgive you of your sins if you truly mean and and live the life of the word.

@IntroSpectre6x3

Well, I've heard his voice myself, and every Christian out there today will agree with me. I can promise you, if you were to open up honestly and allow the Holy Spirit to fall on you, you'd hear his voice, you'd feel his hand, you would see his face, and you would never again question his existence. And no, no one on this Earth will ever prove it, there's no need to. Because nothing we can say will change you mind, only he can, when you are ready to accept him.

@ambCPS

It's the fire from Holy Ghost, pal =D One Love!
