High
Tory Lanez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring, looking at you from a long way
Passing me no ceilings, keep going
Classes in session, but we in the hallway
Skip this class, lets get gone

I'm rolling this blunt, off baby
But touching your body feels like I'm high
Keep rolling that weed, baby

But touching your body feels like I'm high

And I ain't giving this shit to nobody
This feelings it feels electrifiying
I can feel it baby, would you let me ride
Feel it baby, you on my mind

I'm rolling this blunt, off baby
But touching your body feels like I'm high
Keep rolling that weed, baby
But touching your body feels like I'm high

Take my mind, take my time
I been off these streets, all day and night
Now its time I get back to you
And it's as what will come

I'm rolling this blunt, off baby
But touching your body feels like I'm high

Keep rolling that weed, baby
But touching your body feels like I'm high
