Nas - High Lyrics






At the count of three
I want ya'll to tell me the name of my new DJ
1, 2, 3,.. 4, 5

[talking: Nas]
The wild Gremlins
Ya'll know the F. right?

[Nas:]
When the winner lose... and the loosers win
Nobody scores just a few good men
But everybody sins
A lot of young die
Fall in the trap, strung high
Try to go illegal, but the hood calling you back
Flipping the crack, cause I miss it for example
Watching base-heads wildin on my first sample
I elevated up, since my snakes in my circumference
Now I hit my niggas with cakes and say, "Pump This"
Thank god for cracks, corners, and marijuana
Hoodrats and good gats to carry on ya
I got dead friends, misled friends, crackhead friends
Wild Gremlins, who "bust led" friends
Silent weapons for quiet wars
Allow gats,
Tussle too long, some shiny moves the crowd back
It's powerful, niggas would die over respect
And money is secondary to that whole aspect

[Chorus:]
I Love it, when I'm... High
I'm at my Best, when I'm... Hiiigh
I like my sex, when I'm... Hii-iiigh
Cash, Tecs... Flash Tecs, when I ride through ya projects
And clap at sets, a nigga... High
North, South, East, West, riders get... Hiiigh
I take ya'll niggas on a lyrical... Hii-iiigh
I twist it up, Listen up to the real shit, feel this, REALNESS!

[Nas:]
Niggas rushing to the top, not knowing what it takes to be...
King Of The Industry, the wise move patiently
Ya niggas is hating me, won't be happy till I'm back witcha...
Selling crack witcha, half & half on a pack witcha
My pen and pad, paint a black picture...
Of young ghouls passing liquor, after-hour store mass and figures
Street corner combos, stagger and Wan knows...
Tahoes coming through, blasting songs I know
Niggas schieme, girls pregnant by sixteen
Clique out to get rich...
Empty clips for cream
Same funeral home, for different stiff bodies
Once I'm up a new family goes there, it don't surprise me
Cry to the tears, dried up inside me
Revenge to the end, laws in NYC
Got up by the way I used to be...
Apartment 5D... where dope fiends in the hall try your knob when you sleep
Surveilance Cameras in my house now, watching you creep
Spot you from deep, guns for all possible beef
Niggas try to rock you asleep
Kidnap your whole fam for a week
Asking for ransom, niggas straving, dieing to eat

[Chorus:]
I Love it, when I'm... High
I'm at my Best, when I'm... Hiiigh
Yo... I like my sex, when I'm... Hii-iiigh
Cash, Tecs... Flash Tecs, when I ride through ya projects
And clap at sets, a nigga... High
North, South, East, West, riders get... Hiiigh
I take ya'll niggas on a lyrical... Hii-iiigh
I twist it up, Listen up to the real shit, feel this, REALNESS!

    “Watching Baseheads Wildin on my 1st Sample”

  7. A.... N....

    Anyone got this with out dj drops ?

  8. A.... E....

    I always felt like this wasn't the full song. But I see no one in the comments section trippin' over the abrupt ending before a potential third verse. Have I been mistaken all these years? Is this the full track?

  9. T.... C....

    To my young friends. There will be a time when you need to hear something to help you carry on. Nas, Pac, KRS, Mega and Rakim will carry you through.

    T.... C....

    Terrell Craig Way more rappers than that will carry you through.

    T.... C....

    No doubt Eli, I just named a few of my faves.

  14. M.... A....

    Nas picks the beats he picks not because they wack on purpose its so you can pay more attention to what he says rather than get wrapped up in the beat💯

  22. S.... ....

    1997 - 1999 Nas flow

  23. M.... ....

    What happens when you don't listen to the OGs, this Nas joint painted a picture of Tekashi 69 situation within the verses before he was ever thought of. "niggas rushing to the top, not knowing what it takes to be King of the industry".

    M.... ....

    So true wow

  24. N.... V....

  28. L.... J....

    This is what hip-hop suppose to sound like...this is why I don't argue with people that talk that Eminem bullshit...this has soul..

  29. s.... m....

    It's powerful

  30. #.... #....

  33. M.... H....

    Amazing !!! Vintage hip-

  34. I.... A....

    The einstein of rap

  35. M.... ....

    Nas unreleased shit is better than most MC's released shit...

  36. J.... T....

    "cried till the tears dried inside me".... bruh

  37. U.... ....

    I think Dr. DRE copyied the instrumental of this song for his new track "Talking to my diary" from the Compton album

  38. C.... L....

    Dj clue said he got plenty of hot tracks from NaS that nobody ever heard in his basement I hope he drops them one day

    C.... L....

    Years ago Large Professor said he's sitting on a stack of unreleased Nas songs too. He's just waiting for Nas to give him the green light. I really hope Lost Tapes 2 drops soon.

  39. L.... D....

    nodding

  40. L.... D....

    never heard this Fire tho

  41. J.... C....

    I write my Exam when Im Hiihiiigh

  42. M.... B....

    People always diss Nas for his beats but most are dope and the others fit the topic perfectly.

    M.... B....

    It just depends on the track or album. He's got some fire beats sometimes, and sometimes not-so-much. On the other hand, sometimes the beat is fire but the lyrics are generic. But my man is on point on "Stillmatic" and "God's Son."

    M.... B....

    @KrimeNeverStops our own Nas we love him GOAT

    M.... B....

    They haters man fuck em all 😭🤐🙏🏽👽🖖🏼🙌🏼

    M.... B....

    It's a narrative Vlad made up. you'll know how much someone watches Vlad by how much they say that dumb shit.

    M.... B....

    Derick Ofodirinwa hate to say it but it was a common narrative on the Nas forum in the 2000’s, then it spread to Twitter in the 2010’s. People used to say they wanted Rick Ross or Game to pick all the beats for Nas albums. Vlad is just the biggest person to say it recently but it’s been barbershop talk for the longest. Not saying i agree tho

  43. E.... ....

    edsco let's go!

  44. H.... ....

    The flow is perfect.

  45. m.... p....

    ahead of his time...as always

  46. M.... ....

    nobody scores...

  47. T.... M....

    this cut is old but definitely hittin from a heavy hitta , I first heard it In the early 90's

    T.... M....

    T McMath This track isn't from the early 90s.

    T.... M....

    And Ell 😂

  48. G.... I....

    I love this Nas jam G.O.A.T

  49. V.... ....

    When was this recorded?

    V.... ....

    Nintendonix b4 illmatic dropped

    V.... ....

    V.... ....

    Jonathan Sokolowski I'm not certain either bro I just assumed by his delivery/tone. Sounds closer to Barbecue style

    V.... ....

    Nah, this was probably around 97'

    V.... ....

    jordan Nah, this sounds more like a late 90s track.

  50. B.... D....

    I'm getting arrested now and I'm bumpin some nasty nas, last time Ima hear the lyrics of a genius for a wile.

  63. B.... S....

    Damn...I never heard this jawn before.  This man could make hella "Lost Tapes" if he wanted to.

    B.... S....

    Yea, there were a lot of tracks that leaked or were never officially released on "I am" and "The Firm" album. I had the leaked version of I am, there were so many dope tracks on there. Some made it on the Lost Tapes but some didnt.

    B.... S....

    @madhash83
    what are some ill ones in your possession, i'd like to look em up

    B.... S....

    @jordan
    That shit went missing a while ago, I got it back in 97', 98'. It was at my parents house but when I went back to look through my old shit it wasnt there. "Sometimes I Wonder" was a great track but I think it ended up on Natures album. The original "Fetus" had different lyrics and was called "Belly Button Window".

    B.... S....

    This is nuts

  64. b.... g....

    KHAW8608, ur name is straight trash for one and your opinion on rap is nothing more than that either. Jadakiss better than AZ? That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. Sounds like some stupid whiteboy opinion who went out to Best Buy and bought the first CD you could find in the rap section. HAHAHAHAHA Jadakiss?? Just look at how whack that rap name is for one, JADAKISS?? Are you fuckin for real man, or are you on drugs?? You must have some kind of attraction to that nappy headed nigga if you're really wasting your money on some money on Jadakiss HAHAHAHA, wow.

    b.... g....

    Nigga u buggin AZ is better than jadakiss but jadakiss is still a beast

  65. J.... G....

  72. A.... L....

    the trife life is most influential

  73. T.... A....

    Wish it was longer miss old nas

  74. w.... ....

    This nigga better than pac & biggie if u disagree u dont understand hip hop so your opinion is irrelevent

    w.... ....

    wizkid8205 can’t say who better cause they were all great at what that did. Bad was definitely smooth but big also was smooth at what he did. Pac word play was sharp and underhandedly meticulous. Most people really didn’t understand Pac’s genius with his wordplay. Analyze ambitionz. They all was nice in their own way.

    w.... ....

    Biggie > Nas >Pac

    w.... ....
