The Analysis
•    Intro: Can you feel the hit baby? Can you feel the hit
     yes? No... Maybe…Maybe…You’re just getting
     started…but…. All you have to do is…


    The introduction gives the audience hints about what the
    song is about. The word “hit” is a slang term used for
    feeling the effects of weed which is otherwise known as
    “getting high”.

•    Chorus: “Be lifted up high be lifted shut the fuck
     up be lifted tell’em to fuck up be lifted tell’em be
     Lifted so high be lifted so high be lifted”


    The chorus refers to the effects of weed and how people
     would describe “being high” etc “Be lifted” and “up high”.
     The chorus contains swear words such as “shut the fuck
     up” which is commonly used in hip-hop music videos.
•   Verse 1: “White smoke flowing as an ocean,
    after I quit dipping this seem my coach soaking,

    This refers to the smoke that comes from the marijuana.
    Artists normally rate the marijuana by the thickness of the
    smoke and therefore they have referred to theirs as “an ocean”
    because it is wavelike.

•   The sea is open and potion has got me mixing
    important strings like dogs training for best in
    show, playing for best in chosen maybe you’ll
    get to know them, The altered minds blow and
    smoking its threads is hopeless, How can I
    know this a faggot meeting a beating when I’m
    beating they keeping inna this peace and I’m
    planning this spoken, cannibals token, has, has
    handled my token cant, animals cannabis
    something has vandled her vocan feel the
    chamber of smoking aiming straight to your
    throat… Hopeless”

This verse refers to having no control over the effects of cannabis
    for example “smoking its threads hopeless…feel the chamber
    of smoking aiming straight to your throat… hopeless”
Chorus: “Be lifted, ‘Up
 high’ be lifted ‘shut
 the fuck up’ …”
•   Verse 2: “Yeah… Pull it out, tear it up like an animal,
    spitting bars eating rappers like a cannibal, blowing O’s
    in the back like a chimney, got a pound of that kush,
    staying with me,
•   ‘Pull it out, tear it up, like an animal’’ refers to having sex as pull it out refers to
    preparing for sex, tear it up refers to having intercourse and like an animal
    refers to having intercourse roughly. ‘Spitting bars, eating rappers like a
    cannibal’ refers to them being better than other rappers. Spitting bars refers to
    saying lyrics, eating rappers means being better than their competitors and
    they use a simile “like a cannibal” to emphasise how confident they are against
    their competitors. ‘Blowing O’s like a chimney’ refers to them smoking weed
    and blowing out the smoke in an ‘O’ shape which is genuinely done in music
    videos. Like a chimney is another simile used.

•   fill it up lungs never stay empty, and I stay with them birds
    like a 10 piece
•   This refers to smoke always being in their lungs meaning that they are
    constantly high. ‘I stay up with them birds’ refers to birds flying and therefore
    the artist ‘being high’, ‘like a 10 piece’ refers to having a 10 piece chicken meal.
•   keep a heater when them haters getting windy pull it in
    hard blow it gently, they say they know me, I be chilling
    with the homies smoking mari, with the breezies so I know
    she bring the rollies in, don’t be mistaken there’s a lot that
    we been taken , got ma fam out in the east so I know
    that I’m gone make it …
•   Mari is a slanfg term used for marijuana which comes from the song “Mari
    by Vybz Kartel”, ‘I know she bring the rollies in’ refers to having a girl to
    ‘roll’ or make the ‘blunt’ (like a cigarette but containing weed) which is highly
    appreciated and respected in the hip-hop world. ‘Got my fam out in the
    east…” refers to taking the family to the middle east which means that the trip
    would be highly expensive which reflects on how successful the artist is.
•   Hol up yeah I’m gone take it to the sky wear
    ma feet up on the dash imma let the ‘erb dry

•   ‘wear my feet up on the dash imma let the ‘erb dry’ refers to
    resting the artists feet on the dashboard of his car whilst drying
    his weed before smoking it.

•   I’m the last to be surprised, that’s your
    girlfriend when you hear me I’m gone see
    that girl tonight man uh huh oh

•   This refers to the artist threatening someone else by having sex
    with his girlfriend which is emphasised by ‘uh huh oh’.

•   yoo we got like 3 hours coming on the way
    starting from up though get the boy liners
    you know DK, AM “

    This refers to them having 3 hours to get high starting with
    them originally being high, lastly they give themselves a
    shoutout which is commonly used in hip-hop; to remind the
    audience who is on the track.
• Chorus: “Be lifted up
  high be lifted shut the
  fuck up be lifted return
  the fuck up Be lifted
  tell’em Be Lifted so
  high Be lifted so high
  Be lifted”

• “Ugh return the fuck
  up…. Return the fuck up”
