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
