Mike WiLL Made-It’s new single “high3r,” featuring Lil Yachty and Lil Wayne, is a bold anthem of unapologetic living, celebrating the highs and navigating the lows of a fast-paced lifestyle. From the opening declaration, “But right now, I’m feelin’ alive again, I’ve been up for three days, still do not feel tired,” the track establishes its relentless energy and defiant spirit.
Lil Yachty’s verse is a vivid portrayal of indulgence and passion, “I wanna live inside her, it’s like a fire, feelin’ inspired, I wanna take you higher.” His lyrics are filled with imagery that captures the essence of living life to the fullest, even if it means burning the candle at both ends. The verse transitions into a more cautious tone, “Hopin’ she’s not a liar, movin’ just like Michael Myers,” reflecting the uncertainty that often accompanies such a lifestyle.
The chorus, a collaboration between Lil Yachty and Lil Wayne, encapsulates the track’s core themes, “Ain’t no competition, two Perkies in my hand, she just washed ’em back, already off a Xan’.” It’s a stark depiction of excess, yet there’s an introspective undercurrent, “Right now, I do not know who I am, look at my eyes, how high I am.” This duality adds depth to the song, highlighting the tension between euphoria and self-doubt.
Lil Wayne’s verse is a standout moment, blending humor, bravado, and vulnerability. Lines like, “I wanna date Shania, I wanna date Zendaya,” showcase his playful side, while “Tweakin’, I feel like I’m flyin’, lately, been thinkin’ ’bout dyin'” reveal a more introspective and vulnerable aspect of his persona.
“high3r” is a testament to Mike WiLL Made-It’s ability to create compelling soundscapes that amplify the lyrical narratives of his collaborators. The track is a high-energy celebration of life’s peaks, tempered by the acknowledgment of its valleys, making it a compelling and resonant anthem for listeners.
