Higher
The-Dream Pusha T Ma$e Cocaine 80s Lyrics

Look at your money
Taking a moment to appreciate the wealth accumulated

Ooh momma, this could be you
Acknowledging the possibility of someone else having the same level of success and wealth

On the right side of this drop
Being on the winning side of a situation

Ooh momma, throw it in reverse
Celebrating the ability to turn a situation around and come out ahead

I call that back it up and drop a
Describing a confident and successful maneuver

Baby, baby baby, baby baby
Repeating a catchy and melodic phrase

Oh, girl I think that she like
Noticing someone's interest or attraction

I got that shit that make niggas want fight
Having something desirable or valuable enough to cause conflict or competition

I got that shit that make bitches act right
Having something that commands respect and good behavior

Make bitches act out of spite, aight
Acknowledging that some may act negatively or resentfully towards success and power

Oh momma, I got that bomb
Proudly possessing something explosive or desirable

I got that shit make your ass go run
Having something powerful enough to motivate or scare someone into action

My shit, not make niggas get guns
Clarifying that the possession or display of something powerful should not prompt violence

But the white girls say, "Where you get that cool beat from?"
Receiving recognition and curiosity from a different demographic

She love it (She love it)
Describing someone's enjoyment and attraction to an experience

Every beat of the drum, she sprung
Highlighting the connection between the music and the listener

She say I make her wanna touch it, she love it (She love it)
Receiving a positive response and exciting someone's desires

She make me wanna touch it, I love it (I love it)
Being mutually attracted and rewarded with pleasure

We buzzin', yeah
Expressing a feeling of intoxication and excitement

Higher than a motherfucker
Feeling an extreme level of euphoria and exhilaration

Uh, one-two one-two guess who back again
Introducing oneself with confidence and swagger

Get my mic right, turn my levels up
Taking control and ensuring that one's voice is heard and respected

Known to replace 'em
Referencing a pattern of switching partners

Shoe game outta this world, I outer space 'em
Bringing attention to a unique and impressive sense of style

Known to have a hundred and one, like Dalmatians
Referencing a large number of companions or partners

Maybe if she special enough, I'll glass case her
Considering the possibility of treating a partner as a treasure or prized possession

Get caught cheating and I gotta let you stick me up
Acknowledging the consequences of betraying a partner's trust

Let you shop 'til you drop as a pick-me-up
Offering an apology or a way to make up for a mistake

Bergdorf bandit, Barney's for the burglary
Referencing designer stores and a history of theft or criminal activity

But these bands lift the whole store like Hercules
Having the financial power to make a significant impact or change

Get raunchy in Givenchy, my palm reads
Bringing attention to a luxurious lifestyle and interest in the occult

Passports Pinot Noir in arm's reach
Being able to indulge in exotic travel and expensive wine

Paddle shiftin', push-button, no car keys
Using high-end technology and luxury cars

The pent houses are poolside with palm trees
Living in extravagant and glamorous surroundings

A Mexican landscape and come rake in what I'm makin'
Having international investments and sources of income

Think you blew me up with your bougie butt
Being unimpressed or unaffected by someone's expensive tastes or showiness

But you ain't slow me up, I'm on the charts, you move me up
Staying focused and successful despite others' opinions or actions

I'm like a drug overlord, my jewelry's overboard
Having an excessive amount of wealth and power comparable to a drug lord

It's hard to believe dollar sign e-even know the Lord
Recognizing the tension between religious beliefs and materialistic success

Already wrote it off, so just ignore the cost
Confirming that money is not an issue and one can afford to be extravagant

So when I'm rollin' off I'm showin' off with no remorse, shamone!
Feeling confident and unapologetic about one's success and wealth

Bitch hold smoke longer
Taunting someone's ability to handle smoking

Choke hold so strong, broke your armor
Having a strong grip and overpowering someone

Now you're wide open right?
Confirming someone's vulnerability or weakened state

You ain't even smokin' right
Judging someone's ability to smoke or take drugs

Cough hope, Harpo
Mocking someone's coughing and referencing a character from The Color Purple

Gotcha knocked out, now you know you're smokin' loud
Having a powerful strain of marijuana that causes someone to become unconscious or disoriented

Moment of silence for this motherfucker
Acknowledging someone's state of intoxication or being overwhelmed

I'm just higher than a motherfucker
Expressing the extreme level of being under the influence
