Higher Lyrics

[Bridge]
It's not that I can't stop, it's that I won't stop
I'll make it hot (I do it)
I'll be on top, as soon as the beat drop
I'll make the whole club rock (I do it)

[Verse 1]
Lace my Air Ones up, put my gun up
I don't need that, I'm ridin wit Dre
Who don't love us, every hood throwin they dubs up
Who the fuck y'all thought was comin' after Young Buck?
Hip-Hop's worst nightmare
Mr. Gangsta Rap is back in black Nike Airs
You want war, we can settle it right here
I got a squad, E-V-E and Busta Rhymes yeah
Or you could give me ya bitch, her with the light hair
Sit her next to these yellow bottles, yeah right there
Matter fact I'll take you in the back
You in the hat, and you in the blue and the black
Let's have a gangsta party
Somebody lean over and tell Banks to order another case of 40's
Yo Doc give 'em a Coke with that
Wake up the West coast is back

[Hook]
(I can take you higher)
Show you how that low rider bounce off the flo' - You ain't know?
(I can take you higher)
It's the motherfuckin chronic nigga that's whassup - roll that blunt
(I can take you higher)
G-Unit, Shady, Aftermath I'm the motherfuckin Game and
(I can take you higher)
[Bridge]
It's not that I can't stop, it's that I won't stop
I'll make it hot (I do it)
I'll be on top, as soon as the beat drop
I'll make the whole club rock (I do it)

[Verse 2: The Game & (Snoop Dogg)]
Like Dre did
I created a buzz without a single like N.W.A. did

From the hood liquor store to the state pen
This is Gin & Juice to Doc
Make the club R.O.C. without Timberland boots
First nigga to put 'draulics on a Bentley Coupe
You wanna pimp? I'll perm my shit up like Snoop (Ah, Westside)
"Chronic 2005" muh'fucker
Put the purple in the dutch "Let it Burn" like Usher - girl
Drop down, do the eagle, fuck that
Real niggas just pull up they pants and lean back - girl
Make 50 spill his Crist', he'll call you a bitch
I'mma call you and hit
You can call ya girlfriend, we can make it a flick
I got the lollipop if you wanna lick
Or you can take a ride on the magic stick

[Hook]
(I can take you higher)
Show you how that low rider bounce off the flo' - You ain't know?
(I can take you higher)
It's the motherfuckin chronic nigga that's whassup - roll that blunt
(I can take you higher)
G-Unit, Shady, Aftermath I'm the motherfuckin Game and
(I can take you higher)
[Bridge]
It's not that I can't stop, it's that I won't stop
I'll make it hot (I do it)
I'll be on top, as soon as the beat drop
I'll make the whole club rock (I do it)

[Verse 3: The Game & (Dr. Dre)]
Put 25's on a Hummer, why not?
I'mma be here for the next 10 summers
Drop me in the 4th quarter I'm fuckin up they money
I don't need SoundScan I'm doin my own numbers
When that Impala bounce you can see the chrome under
I got 'em in every color, yeah I'm a known stunner
When I hit a switch I get higher than long jumpers
Lowridin with a hood rat or a grown woman
I'll do anything - but I won't fuck Mariah
Even if she had Ashanti butt naked in bed
Cause she got a fo'head just like Tyra

I can say what the fuck I want
You thought Dre retired, left me a six-fo' and his Dayton wires?
These niggas is a waste of rhymin
Doc got somthin to say be quiet
(Look out for Detox)

[Hook]
(I can take you higher)
Show you how that low rider bounce off the flo' - You ain't know?
(I can take you higher)
It's the motherfuckin chronic nigga that's whassup - roll that blunt
(I can take you higher)
G-Unit, Shady, Aftermath I'm the motherfuckin Game and
(I can take you higher)
[Bridge]
It's not that I can't stop, it's that I won't stop
I'll make it hot (I do it)
I'll be on top, as soon as the beat drop
I'll make the whole club rock (I do it)

What did The Game say about "Higher"?
Genius Answer

The Game had this to say to Complex:

Game: “Higher” was 50’s song, I’m talking about the beat. When I walked in the studio and [I heard the beat], I was like, “Who’s shit is this?” I thought the shit was crazy. Dre was like, “I made it for 50, but he ain’t like it, so you can have it if you want.” So I wrote all three of them verses right there. It probably took like a half-an-hour. That shit was too easy to rap over. After every verse, check that shit with Dre because he’ll come in and say the whole song is garbage and make you write that motherfucker again. So I don’t play that game. I lock that shit early man. Dre played me the beat, he left, and then he called me the next day and said, ‘That shit is crazy.’ At that point Dre told me when to stop. He was like, ‘You think we should start sequencing?’ I was like, “Shit, I don’t know.” And he was like, “I’m going to start listening to them, and see if I can put together a good 20 songs.”
