High altitude, smokin proud, sittin on a cloud
(Corleone, Baby G an Kartel, higher dan before)
(Knock knock knockin on heavens door)
Thats right, Babylon nah nuh coke out if dem get one a this
(Hey, mi nuh know bout yuh) Lawd a mercy
(But mi know bout mi)
[Chorus-Baby G:]
When I smoke, I get so high (High Altitude)
It makes mi feel like I wanna fly {Christly}
Can yuh look and see the red in my eyes
In my eyes, my eyes
[Verse 1-Vybz Kartel & (Bounty Killer)]:
Hey, weh di weed (Mek mi billy)

Inna roll (Dis philly)

(Lighta nuh tack it weh mi push inna di racket)
