High (Feeder song)
"High" is a song by Feeder, released as the band's fourth and final single from the album Polythene. This track was not included on the album until its re-issue in October of the same year, and is seen as a fan anthem.
Reception
It was the first Feeder single to be playlisted on BBC Radio 1, reaching #24 in the UK making it their first top 40 hit. It also got extensive radio play, and made the B-list. Frontman Grant Nicholas was once quoted saying that the song is about friendship and the drawbacks of relationships. It's been strongly hinted that the line "I'm going out for a while, so I can get high with my friends" is a reference to marijuana. It also is regarded as the song that kept the band in the USA for 11 months during 1998, touring with Everclear.
The track was featured in the film Can't Hardly Wait in 1998, and reached #24 and #36 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts. Because of Billboard chart rules at the time, the song was ineligible to chart on the Hot 100 due to a lack of commercial single release. The soundtrack album of "Can't Hardly Wait", was however certified gold by the RIAA for 500,000 units shipped, and "High" was one of the most requested tracks on US college radio during the summer of 1998.
High (David Hallyday song)
"High" is a 1988 song recorded by French artist David Hallyday. It was the second of the four singles from his debut studio album True Cool. Released in November 1988, the song was a hit in France, becoming David Hallyday's first number-one single.
Song information
The song was composed by Lisa Catherine Cohen and the music composed by the singer himself. As for the rest of the album, lyrics are in English-language. The music video was shot in a church, Hallyday playing the organ, while a chorus composed of women chanted 'high' during the refrains. With this vigorous song, Hallyday presents "a musical style at the joint of Californian rock and pop".
In France, the single debuted on the singles chart at #45 on November 19, 1988, climbed quickly and entered the top ten in its fourth week. It topped the chart for five consecutive weeks, then almost didn't stop to drop on the chart and totaled 15 weeks in the top ten and 23 weeks in the top 50. Although it was not certified by the SNEP, the French certifier, its sales made the song the 440th best-selling single of all time in France. The song was the most successful from the album True Cool and the second one in Hallyday's career, behind "Tu ne m'as pas laissé le temps".

Must Be High
by: MC RenVerse 1:
These niggas be actin' like I fucked
And didn't call 'em for weeks
Like they wantin' a nigga dick
In between they butt cheeks
They staight bitchy
Without their bleedin' and kotexes
The villain that go to texas
Nigga got a plan full of o's and x's
What's yo' game plan?
Niggas be sayin' you sabotagin' me
But yo' bitch be suckin' my dick,
She be tellin me that you dodgin' me
Like piazza, a nigga gots ta,
Keep my roster, with bitches slidin' home,
No lickin' yo' shit, yo' bitch is gone
Niggas be thinkin' they makaveli,
Tryin' to bring drama
Soon as these niggas whoop that ass,
You talkin' dear mama...
But face to face, these niggas be cheesin' like velveeta,
Lookin smoked out,
Hitin mo' pipes than peter
Stuck with broke hoes, broke ? ? and ? ?
Pussies that they be fuckin',
Used up and sideways
Stretck marks for days,
She about two-hun,
Gotta get pissy drunk,
To fuck her and have fun
[chorus]
These niggas and hoes act the same,
Can't tell em apart,
Always runnin 'round
Lookin for some shit to start.
These bitches run they mouth,
Nigga, constantly
All in mine, nigga
All the time
It ain't my fault
That yo' punk ass broke
Mad, 'cause you only got
Stress to smoke.
I heard that shit that you was plottin'
Nigga you can try
To fuck with mc ren,
But you must be high
Verse 2:
Niggas be high because
They workin 9 to 5
But the villain be hibernatin'
Wakin up at 5... pm
You see them niggas be bitchy because
I wont let 'em up on my team
And give 'em a title like hakeem,
I'm peelin' caps like tangerines
Tellin' niggas I should
Break 'em off chips
Get 'em in clubs free
And take 'em on trips
Free-loadin' ass niggas
Lose all they sense
When they think they gon' floss
Off my expense
Niggas be goin' corner to corner
Bringin' up the bill
Askin questions like the popos
Tryin to see if I made a mill'
Then they take that weak shit
Back to they home fo' pillow ? ?
She shakin' her head like you tellin the truth
But she want yo' ass to walk
What the fuck you expected?
Always bitchin' at me
When she fuckin' yo' ass,
Nigga she be seein me.
Go look in the room,
A costume, fo' haloween,
Of that black nigga, you know who
So you can live yo' dream
*chorus*
Verse 3:
I hear yo' ho punk bitches talkin' shit,
Tryin' to have some say
Tellin' other hoes they wouldn't
Give me no time of day
Still livin with they mommy
She babysittin' while you fuckin
Gettin county cheques and money
From them niggas that you dick suckin
But nigga, why these bitches all in mine?
Why, nigga, hearin bullshit all the time?
Hoes from high school be wishin
They coulda got wit this dick
You know how they be in the car-hop clicks,
Muthafuckin' tricks
Now these hoes jockin'
Like all up on my style
You broke bitches,
How you like me now?
Actin' like makin' cheese is a muthafuckin' crime
If I said "drop yo' panties",
Bitch you drop em in a dime
