Highs n Lows
KiD CuDi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I be high when I split a dutch and fill it up
I be high when I get my money doubled up
I be high when a model wanna let me cut
I be high when I'm signing cus my diamonds blush

I be low when a nigga cant get away
I be low when I cant seem to make a way
I be low when I can't even feed myself
I be low when I realize I'm by myself

But I be high when I'm shopping for expensive clothes
I be high when I get what I couldn't before
I be high in the club while I'm poppin bub
I be high when I'm cruising sitting on them dubs

But I be low after shows in my dressing room
I be low when i see that I'm a different dude
I be low on the plane looking at the sky
I be low but my highs keep a nigga tied

[Chorus:]
I be high then I be low
I be low then I be high
It's like a battle knife to a gun fight
But I be cool this the story of my life
I be high then I be low
I be low then I be high
It's like a battle knife to a gun fight
No need to worry this the story of my life

I be low when I gotta get ready for work
I be low cus after bills my pockets be hurt
I be low when I can't take a girl out
I be low cus they can't even figure me out

But I be high when the phony chicks show me love
Cus in my mind I read them but I dont give a fuck
I be high when a nigga get attention
I be high when your girl catch feelings

Then I be low when I go into that empty space
I be low when I'm looking at a stressed face
I be low cus my brother's facing hard times
And I be low cus my nigga ryan close behind

Then I'm high when I know the places we can go
I be high when I think what the future holds
I be high when she asks for my room number
I be high but my lows keep a nigga humble

[Chorus]

I was high when the label said that I was dope
I was high in my eyes cus I had hope
I was high when I first had the taste of love
I was high when I left the city I was from

And I was low when I had a recent heartbreak
I was low cus I truly thought I had a mate
I was low when I lost her over sillyness
I was low cus she twisted what my words meant

But I was high when I finally had the chance to see
Everything thats pretty aint always good for me
I was high when she first said I liked you
Man I must be too high to even write dude
And these things show you growth
Some niggas show a little but I show you the most
Highs n' lows and succeed fo sho
The only thing left to do is say a toast
Cus

[Chorus]

Now won't you please say scotty lord,
Help me please, yeah, help me please




Now won't you please say scotty lord,
Won't you please, god, help me please
