The High and Mighty have a penchant for subjects that break the usual hip hop stereotypes. The titles of their albums and the name of their record label are both references to one of their favourite musical subjects, American professional team sports. Home Field Advantage, for example, features numerous sporting references, including the track Friendly Game of Football and mentions of the '69 New York Mets, Cris Carter and Jason Sehorn, among others. Another recurring source of lyrical fodder is the Star Wars film series, with Home Field Advantage including lines about Jedi Master Mace Windu, the bounty hunter Greedo, Anakin Skywalker and the shiny droid C-3PO. Also, one of the main background substances throughout album lyrics was THC and consumption of marijuana in various forms. The group sometimes touched on more or less political issues such as economy and music industry.
Not All There
The High & Mighty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If it wasn't for SoundCloud rappers you wouldn't be on the same map
Then where would you be at?
So please stop trying to twist all the facts and face it like a stan cause you just a plant
Get clapped
Get slapped
By a soundcloud rapper who can't even rap
Get checked
You will never win a best of set
Tired of the basics
Bitch im fucking jaded
Sips what i be taking
All these toxins in my body be the thing i be replacing
With a shot just for the marker
Meet you by the harbor
Flames above the water
Got you drowning like a martyr
Step on my plateau, i poppa
Couple shots too mark em
Plot upon the carcass
Im a demon in the darkest
Depths of the motherfucking flames
Everybody better run away
All of you critics the same
Im fucking insane
A beast in a cage, that you cant contain
These fake woke clout chasing rappers with their cringe raps
If it wasn't for SoundCloud rappers you wouldn't be on the same map
Then where would you be at?
So please stop trying to twist all the facts and face it like a stan cause you just a plant
Get clapped
Get slapped
By a soundcloud rapper who can't even rap
Get wrecked
Get checked
You will never win a best of set

The takedown continues in the verses, as the singer boasts of his own superiority and suggests that he would easily defeat any SoundCloud rapper in a rap battle. He describes himself as a "demon in the darkest depths of the motherfucking flames" and warns that anyone who crosses him will face the consequences.
