Lyrics

Hell and High Water

[Intro] Major Lazer [Verse 1] I had to pay my dues I've hit all my rock bottoms I fell right through the roof I swim through heavy waters [Pre-Chorus] And life can get difficult I know, I know it But one thing I know for sure Is I'm still breathing, yeah-yeah [Chorus] I'm falling from the sky but it don't mean nothing Bring on the hell and high water I went and lost my mind but you know I'm still runnin' Runnin' right through the fire And life is but a ride and the downs get ugly I had to face some monsters But I'm alive and it counts for something So here's to hell and high water Hell and high water [Verse 2] The world try to take me down I've been thrown off my axis It chewed up and spit me out My rose-colored glasses blackened [Pre-Chorus] Far from clean getaways Oh, I'll admit it, mm But I'm doing okay The kid's still kickin', yeah-yeah [Chorus] I'm falling from the sky but it don't mean nothing Bring on the hell and high water I went and lost my mind but you know I'm still runnin' Runnin' right through the fire And life is but a ride and the downs get ugly I had to face some monsters But I'm alive when it counts for something So here's to hell and high water Hell and high water [Post-Chorus] I'm falling from the sky but it don't mean nothing (I'm falling from the sky, woah) I went and lost my mind but you know I'm still runnin' (Running through the fire) [Outro] So here's the hell and high water
