HBA Lyrics
[Intro]
Uh, you gotta get high like this
You gotta get high like me
You gotta get high like this
You gotta get high like me
You gotta get high like this
You gotta get high like me
You gotta get high like this
You gotta get high like me
[Verse 1]
I’m fuckin’ these bitches, alright
I’m havin’ my way, alright, uh
My fingers, they muhfuckin’ tight
My eyes are open, I’m high
I can’t believe I can die
I just realized I was high
I was seventeen on the mic
I’m tryna be Carti, not Mike
I’m a gigolo, ho, I bite
My whole career, they bitin’
Some niggas, they thinkin’ they faster than me
Somebody should tell them they dyin’
I’m done with these niggas and dissin’
I just be pissin’, I don’t give a fuck
I know when you move, boy
Bitch, I’m tryna tell, your ho gon’ fuck?
All you ever do is copy, all you ever do is mock
Why you talkin’ about me?
If you really got a problem, we can handle that problem, yeah, body to body
Buffie the body, my bitch got body, Buffie the body
My bitch got body, yeah, my bitch got body, yeah, my bitch got body
She screech like a hyena when I get her body
[Bridge]
Travel the world, huh, huh, schyeah, hol’ up
On tour with your girl
It’s not my world, it’s Mali world
And she’s not my girl, she’s Mali’s girl
You play with my top, get a referral
Put him in a smoke, he reefer
[Verse 2]
Put ’em in a coffin, put ’em in a coffin
Put ’em in a, uh, put ’em in a, uh, put ’em in a coffin
I jump out the Lamb’ truck, she thought that I lost it
I jump off my red eye, push out, then I go to Boston
I stay with like ten thots often
Everything is awesome, F-A, Fucking Awesome
Make sure you tell them niggas, “Watch me”
They don’t know how I cross over
Double 0, yeah, the biggest ever, we just gettin’ ready for the crossover
Tell the driver he need to pull over, let this bitch come top, then over
Nosebleed, yeah, high speed, huh, I can get the rollover
You been actin’ funny and you fake poppin’, yeah, just like hot soda
Y’all niggas don’t know how to grow up, I been a OG since I was younger
All of my friends are dead, leave ’em in the cold, put ’em in the tundra
I go Ray Charles, I cannot see her, I make her fumble
I was just in Texas with Aliyah, her pussy a jungle
They wanted this album to be offset, but I told them, “I’m comin’ normal”
When you play this shit, wear a white tux’, young nigga, like you in a formal, hot
It’s hot, bitch, it’s scorchin’
On the porch, New Yorkin’
She still tryna find young Jordan
[Outro]
I was twenty-four when I had lil’ Onyx
(Then I had a daughter, I had a daughter too)
Twenty-seven when I had Yves
Now I can finally sleep
I let the sun
I let the sun let me down
I let the moon
I let the moon set me up
HBA Meaning
[Intro]
In the intro, Carti repeatedly expresses the need to “get high like this,” which sets the tone for the rest of the song. This repetition emphasizes the importance of escapism through drug use, suggesting that Carti’s elevated state of mind is crucial to his identity. The phrase also reinforces the idea that this lifestyle is an essential part of his image, a trait that others may aspire to but can’t truly replicate.
[Verse 1]
In this verse, Carti exudes confidence as he narrates his life of excess. He mentions his control over women (“I’m fuckin’ these bitches, alright”) and asserts that he’s in full command of his life. The line “My fingers, they muhfuckin’ tight” implies his grip on his career and wealth. Carti’s mention of his vulnerability, realizing he could die, suggests a brief moment of introspection, but it quickly fades as he reverts to his confident, almost untouchable persona. He reflects on his rise in the music industry, making it clear that his path is different from others who try to imitate him. He hints at the competitive nature of his world, where others attempt to replicate his success (“some niggas, they thinkin’ they faster than me”), but Carti stands firm in his belief that no one can surpass him.
[Bridge]
The bridge highlights Carti’s global reach and his connection to the world through his career. The mention of “tour with your girl” contrasts Carti’s lifestyle with that of his competitors, reinforcing his sense of detachment and superiority. Carti shifts the focus to his personal world with the lines “it’s not my world, it’s Mali world,” showing that he operates on his own terms, and the women he interacts with belong to this lifestyle rather than being emotionally attached to him. The line “Put him in a smoke, he reefer” reinforces his indifference to those who oppose him, reducing them to mere obstacles that he dismisses without hesitation.
[Verse 2]
In this verse, Carti continues to boast about his extravagant lifestyle. The repetition of “put ‘em in a coffin” signals his readiness to eliminate his enemies, metaphorically suggesting that anyone who stands in his way is quickly disposed of. Carti describes his high-speed, luxurious lifestyle (“jump out the Lamb’ truck” and “high speed”), emphasizing his success and the fast-paced nature of his life. He juxtaposes his life of thrill and excess with his assertion of being a “real OG” and how he has been at the top since his youth. Despite his success, Carti seems to acknowledge the transient nature of his world, noting that “all of my friends are dead” and referencing his emotional detachment from relationships.
[Outro]
In the outro, Carti reflects on personal milestones, particularly in terms of family and growth. The mention of his daughter and other family members represents a more personal and human side of Carti, giving listeners a glimpse into his life beyond the party and the fame. The outro’s soft and reflective tone contrasts with the energy of the rest of the track, offering a moment of introspection before the song fades out. This shift in tone brings a sense of closure, signaling a balance between Carti’s reckless lifestyle and his responsibilities.
