Higher
Jay West Lyrics

Look at your money
Take a moment to reflect on your wealth

Ooh momma, this could be you
Expressing excitement over the possibility of sharing wealth with a loved one

On the right side of this drop
Referring to the winning side of a financial investment

Ooh momma, throw it in reverse
Encouraging his partner to reverse the direction of a vehicle in a suggestive manner

I call that back it up and drop a
Slang term for a dance move that involves backing up and dropping the hips

Baby, baby baby, baby baby
Repetitive exclamation of excitement and pleasure

Ohh, girl I think that she like
Expressing confidence in his ability to attract a female companion

I got that shit that make niggas want fight
Referring to his aggressive behavior, possibly relating to his attractiveness to women

I got that shit that make bitches act right
Suggesting that his influence can make women behave better

Make bitches act out of spite, aiight
Indicating that his influence can also make women act in a spiteful manner towards others

Ohh momma, I got that bomb
Slang term for high-quality marijuana, implying that he possesses a potent strain

I got that shit make your ass go run
Implying that his marijuana is so strong that it can induce a physical reaction

My shit, not make niggas get guns
Clarifying that his marijuana does not provoke violence

But the white girls say, "Where you get that cool beat from?"
Referencing the interest of white women in his music and production

She love it (She love it)
Stating that his partner loves his music

Every beat of the drum, she sprung
Indicating that his partner is sexually aroused by his music

She say I make her wanna touch it
Stating that his music is sexually suggestive and arousing

She make me wanna touch it
Reversing the roles and suggesting that the woman's behavior is arousing to him

I love it (I love it)
Expressing his appreciation for his partner's sexual behavior

We buzzin', yeah
Stating that they are high and feeling euphoric

Higher than a motherfucker
Emphasizing their state of extreme intoxication

Yeah, I've been known to chase 'em
Acknowledging his reputation for seeking out romantic relationships with multiple partners

Known to replace 'em
Suggesting that he is not loyal and easily moves on from relationships

Shoe game outta this world, I outer space 'em
Boasting about the luxurious nature of his shoe collection

Known to have a hundred and one, like Dalmatians
Comparing his love for shoes to the famous Disney movie about Dalmatian dogs

Maybe if she special enough, I'll glass case her
Suggesting that he may consider a long-term relationship if he finds the right person

Get caught cheating and I gotta let you stick me up
Acknowledging the potential consequences of his unfaithfulness and accepting that he may be financially penalized

Let you shop 'til you drop as a pick-me-up
Suggesting that he may try to repair a damaged relationship by spoiling his partner with material goods

Bergdorf bandit, Barnies for the burglary
Name-dropping high-end department stores and referencing a past criminal activity

But these bands lit the whole store like Hercules
Implying that his financial success is powerful and influential

Get raunchy in Givenchy, my palm reads
Boasting about his expensive taste and implying that he can afford to indulge in high-end fashion

Passports Pinot Noir in arm's reach
Suggesting that he travels in luxury and with ease

Paddle shiftin', push-button, no car keys
Describing his high-end car and its modern features

The pent houses are poolside with palm trees
Describing his luxurious living situation with a reference to expensive real estate

Uh, one-two one-two guess who back again
Opening a new section of the song with a confident announcement

Uh, Harlem in this-what? Yeezy let Manhattan in
Celebrating the blending of two different hip-hop cultures

Get my mic right, turn my levels up
Preparing to deliver a strong performance

Get the light right, turn my bezel up
Adjusting the lighting to compliment his jewelry

You hear the bounce on it, go and throw your mouth on it
Encouraging fans to dance and express their appreciation for his music

So many ghosts in my garage they think my house haunted
Boasting about his collection of expensive cars and the impression it makes on others

Long as my buckle say Hermes, the rumors I'm not concerned with
Showing off his expensive belt and dismissing rumors about his life and reputation

They wanna garnish my earnings before I send it I burn it
Rejecting attempts to collect his money and declaring that he will dispose of it rather than pay someone else

You know them people too convinced that my money's gettin' rinsed
Acknowledging that others may view him as financially irresponsible

Her Louis seven inch, they TMZ me through my tint
Referencing a woman's expensive high heels and the attention he receives from media outlets

I bumped into Loon he like, "Well, as-salamu alaykum"
Referencing a fellow rapper and beginning a new section of the song with a friendly greeting

You know I ain't Muslim my nigga, I'm about my bacon
Confirming that he is not Muslim and making a joke about his love for pork

The shot niggas takin' you'd think I'm rollin' 'round with Reagan
Comparing the impact of his music to the influence of a former United States president

A Mexican landscape and come rake in what I'm makin'
Referencing a vacation spot and boasting about the amount of money he earns

Think you blew me up with your bougie butt
Implying that someone overestimated their own influence over him

But you ain't slow me up, I'm on the charts, you move me up
Boasting about his success despite the opinions of others

I'm like a drug overlord, my jewelry's overboard
Comparing himself to the leader of a drug cartel and boasting about his expensive jewelry

It's hard to believe dollar sign e-even know the Lord
Acknowledging the irony of his success and claiming to be religious

Already wrote it off, so just ignore the cost
Showing indifference towards the price of his possessions, implying that he has already paid or can easily afford it

So when I'm rollin' off I'm showin' off with no remorse
Boasting about his possessions and lifestyle without concern for how others may perceive it

Bitch hold smoke longer
Demanding that someone hold in the smoke from their marijuana longer than normal

Choke hold so strong, broke your armor
Implying that his marijuana is so potent that it can overwhelm someone's resistance to intoxication

Now you're wide open right?
Asking if someone is now extremely high

You ain't even smokin' right
Critiquing someone's smoking technique

Bitch hold the smoke
Repeat of earlier demand

Cough hope, Harpo
Combining the names of two characters from The Color Purple and implying that someone is coughing violently

Gotcha knocked out, now you know you're smokin' loud
Implying that someone has become unconscious from the smoke and that they have consumed a strong strain of marijuana

Moment of silence for this motherfucker
Acknowledging the person who has succumbed to the effects of the marijuana and calling for a brief moment of respect

I'm just higher than a motherfucker
Reiterating his own state of intoxication

I'm higher than a motherfucker
Repeat of earlier line

I'm higher than a motherfucker
Repeat of earlier line
