Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, to the rhythm
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta
[Verse 2]
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta
High like a jet, like a Jet Blue jet
High like a jet, like a Jet Blue jet
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, to the rhythm
High like a jet, like a Jet Blue jet
High like a jet, like a Jet Blue jet
[Verse 3]

[Verse 5]
Can't hide from me, me say me born to be high
I was born to be, born to climb
Can't hide from me, me say me born to be high
I was born to be, born to climb
Gangsta

Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, to the rhythm
[Verse 7]
Oh, what a pity
Smoking and joking until I'm talking stupidity
I am so higher than the city
High in the clouds, what a view, so pretty
I am such a bad boy, P Diddy
We got them notorious like Biggie
You smoke, smoke like a choo choo train
This high grade's going to the brain
To the brain, to the brain, to the brain, to the brain
[Verse 8]
In the sky above the clouds
With the birds, with the birds
Sky above the clouds
With the birds, with the birds
[Verse 9]
Can't hide from me, me say me born to be high
I was born to be, born to climb
Can't hide from me, me say me born to be high
I was born to be, born to climb, oh my
[Verse 10]
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, to the rhythm
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, to the rhythm
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, to the rhythm
[Verse 11]
Put them up, hands up, put them up, hands up
Hands up, put them up, hands up, put them up
Put them up, hands up, put them up, hands up
Hands up, put them up, hands up, put them up
[Verse 12]
High like a jet, like a Jet Blue jet
High like a jet, like a Jet Blue jet
High like a jet, like a Jet Blue jet
High like a jet, like a Jet Blue jet
[Verse 13]
High like a jet, Jet Blue jet
High like a jet, like a Jet Blue jet
High li-ke a Jet Blue jet
High like a Jet Blue jet
You're rockin' with Major Lazer
