Three Little Birdies Down Beat
The Chemical Brothers Lyrics

Just get yourself high
Just get yourself high
Just get yourself high
Just get yourself high
Just get yourself high

here we go
Don't rely on this, to get you high
Don't rely on us, to get you high

Wait, hold up, electrify, death defy, elect the high, Connect the sky
To the sensei, blade keeps spinning
All around the world, but the world keeps sinning
I've been in crazy situations
Since I've learned the art of watching patience
Big shout to the hip-hop nation, just dance with elation, yeah

Don't rely on this, to get you high
Don't rely on us, to get you high

Yo, put the needle on the record, here we go again
It's the brand new funk for real
Mass appeal, it's everlasting, asking you forecasting direction
Insurrection is served on a 12 inch platter
Mostly incorrect data, over matter
Is a mind that you'll find, it's design, is international, Rational
Back in the day we listened to rap, Bill Gates in the backpack
Yo, try many styles for the 3-1, instead of writing a rhyme I'd rather be one
two yo can watch what you do and live in the now, but believe there's only a few
Sometimes you've got to get inside to get it high

(You don't know)
(You don't know)
(You don't know)

Don't rely on us, to get you high
Don't rely on this, to get you high
Don't rely on us, to get you high
Don't rely on this, to get you high

Just get yourself high
Just get yourself high




Just get yourself high

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Chemical Brothers featuring K-OS's song Get Yourself High seem to be about the idea of not relying on external factors to achieve a sense of euphoria or high, but rather finding that within oneself. The repetition of "just get yourself high" emphasizes this point, as if encouraging the listener to find their own way to achieve this state. The line "wait, hold up, electrify, death defy, elect the high, connect the sky" could be interpreted as a call to push oneself to new heights, even if it means facing danger (death defy) or taking risks (elect the high).


The second half of the lyrics seem to be more focused on the music itself, with references to putting the needle on the record and the brand new funk. The line "back in the day we listened to rap, Bill Gates in the backpack" is a nod to the origins of hip-hop and the DIY ethos that has been a part of the genre from the start, with the inclusion of Bill Gates perhaps referencing the idea of using technology to create and share music. Overall, the song seems to be a celebration of finding one's own way to feel elevated, both through music and through personal exploration.
