Kanye West Feat. Rihanna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y'all style is the nacho cheesiest
Everybody wanna shine, they the greasiest
When they know they bank
Account is the measliest
You gotta know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to run when my niggas be rollin'
Watchin' yo back, especially in the mornin'
Now niggas give you a pound and tell you
"Be safe" like you carryin' a million
Dollars in a briefcase
Now you're all paranoid like
"Is this shit laced?"
My niggas come in all black like deep space
When we turn the toast, turn you to a ghost
Any more want they girl to play Demi Moore?
As long as you sure, my point is mainly that
We maniacs, maniacs, nigga, what
"I can fight with the best"
Don't let 'em hold you down, nigga
"But I can only go"
You can go another round, nigga
"So many rounds"
Even if you gotta slug it out
If you gotta thug it out, thug it out
"I can fight with the best"
Don't let 'em hold you down, nigga
"But I can only go"
You can go another round, nigga
"So many rounds"
A lot of MC's came to my showdown
And watch me put the low down
Nothin' nice when you fightin' for your life
With the ruger, did he shoot him? Did you
See it? Was it right?
Did he deserve that? (Naw) Ask 'em maine
Did he know he turned his
Son to a bastard maine? (What?)
If I see him on the street
I'mma blast him maine
Have a and a in the casket maine
This guy saw me on the strip
Tried to out the thang i told 'em
"Slow up this wasn't even about you maine"
He must of thought I was scared though
Unprepared though oh, no
Here come my guys hoppin' out the Volvo
Fo' fo' out in the clear
One shot hit 'em in the ear open the trunk
Put 'em in here what it is
Stick? Put it in gear
You need to know you can't fuck with my blood
We throw you in the trunk, get you drugged
Take you to your own grave
That's the shit you dug
Now it take at least six
Niggas to pick you up, c'mon
"I can fight with the best"
Don't let 'em hold you down, nigga
"But I can only go"
You can go another round, nigga
"So many rounds"
Even if you gotta slug it out
If you gotta thug it out, thug it out
"I can fight with the best"
Don't let 'em hold you down, nigga
"But I can only go"
You can go another round, nigga
"So many rounds"
A lot of MC's came to my showdown
And watch me put the low down
Got my money and my loot now
Tell the truth now
Don't make me grab the 380
Don't wanna shoot ya
You got a little girl? Think about her future
You need an outfit
These slugs should suit ya
Like 5-0 my nigga, I hot pursuit ya
Bullets trimmin' the side of your
Head like crew cut
Used to be po', never could afford new stuff
Even so we grabbed ski masks to do stuff
All on ten, niggas was high and juiced up
While you livin' with your
Girlfriend like a moocher
Get your own shit, be about grown shit
When the chrome spit
You can hear a bone split
I don't give a fuck 'bout who you gon' get
After you dead, killin' him is just a bonus
Ding ding ding, you my millionth customer
Yo, K? Why these niggas always think
They can fuck with us?
"I can fight with the best"
Don't let 'em hold you down, nigga
"But I can only go"
You can go another round, nigga
"So many rounds"
Even if you gotta slug it out
If you gotta thug it out, thug it out
"I can fight with the best"
Don't let 'em hold you down, nigga
"But I can only go"
You can go another round, nigga
"So many rounds"
A lot of MC's came to my showdown
And watch me put the low down
Down (Down) down (Down)
Down (Down)
The song "Get Em High" by Kanye West featuring John Mayer opens with Kanye trying to catch the beat, which could mean that he is finding it challenging to keep up with the pace of the music, indicating a struggle of some sort. As the song progresses, Kanye talks about staying high and passing weed around, and how he will follow his heart no matter what and not let anyone bring him down. He also mentions his difficult freshman year at college and how he managed to leave it behind and pursue his dreams despite all odds. In the second verse, Kanye talks about receiving an email from a girl who likes him while name-dropping various rappers.
Overall, the song seems to address the struggles that Kanye faced early in his music career and his resolution to remain true to himself and follow his dreams. He also talks about the importance of staying high and passing the weed around, but it's unclear whether he's referencing marijuana or something else entirely.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm tryin' to catch the beat, uh
I'm attempting to synchronize with the music's rhythm
N-now, th-th-through ya motherfuckin' hands
Raise your hands up in the air
All the girls pass the weed to ya motherfuckin man
Girls, give the weed to your man
Now I ain't never tell you to put down ya hands
Don't lower your hands
And if ya losin yo high than smoke again
If you're feeling less high, smoke more
My flow / Is in the pocket like wallets, I got the bounce like hydrolics
My style of rapping is smooth yet powerful
I can't call it, I got the swerve like alchoooool-ics
I can't fully describe it, but my style has a unique flair
My teacher said I'se a loser, I told her why don't you kill me
My teacher labeled me as a failure, but I challenged her to do something drastic
I give a fuck if you fail me, I'm gonna folllllllllll-ow / My heart
I don't care if you give me a failing grade, I'll still follow my dreams
I'm so shy that you thought it was bashfull but this / Bastard's flow will bash a skull
Though I come across as shy, my rapping skills are powerful and can impress
And I will, cut your girl like Pastor Troy
I can charm and seduce your girl easily
And I don't, usually smoke but pass the 'dro
I don't usually smoke, but pass me the marijuana
And I won't, give you that money that you askin fo'
I won't give you money upon request
Why you think, me and Dame cool, we assholes
Dame and I are friends because we share similar attitudes
'cause we don't want to here that weak shit no mo'
We don't want to hear any more bad music
N-n-n-n-n-now who the hell is this
Who is this person contacting me?
I can't believe this nigga use my name for pickin' up dolls but
I can't believe he's using my name to impress women
Get em' high, I need some tracks you tryin' to pull tracks out
I want to get high and make music together
Anyway, I don't usually fuck a interneter
I don't normally sleep with random women from the internet
You really fuckin' that much, you tryin to get off cigarettes
Are you having sex that often to quit smoking?
That's why the raw don't know your name, like Alicia Keys
You're not well-known in the industry
Got yo hands up, get them motherfuckers higher then
Raise your hands even higher

We need more of this type of music. This is what defined my childhood. It deeply saddens me to see this energy fade away in the industry.
