In 2013, New York City duo Lion Babe turned in a Childish Gambino-assisted second single, “Jump Hi” off their 2014 self-titled EP. The track would also appear on their full-length album Begin released in 2016.

[Intro: Lion Babe]
Jump so high
[Verse 1: Lion Babe]
Tie me down, try to hold me up
But the walls ain't high enough
They play so hard
In a game so rough
But I still can't
Give it up
[Hook: Lion Babe]
I'm out here on my own
Work what I've got to get some
Run right into the sun
Ohhh (jump so high)
(so high)
I jump so high (so high)
I jump so high (so high)
I got it right (so high, high, high)
(so high) I jump so high
(so high) I jump so high
(so high) I got it right
[Verse 2: Lion Babe]
Find your light
In the darkest sky
And the stars burn
Inside our eyes
Cutting through the haze
To our glory days
We won't give up
Never too late
[Hook: Lion Babe]
I'm out here on my own
Work what I've got to get some
Run right into the sun
Ohhh (jump so high)
(so high)
I jump so high (so high)
I jump so high (so high)
I got it right (so high, high, high)
(so high) I jump so high
(so high) I jump so high
(so high) I got it right
[Verse 3: Childish Gambino]
Yeah, we finally made it, you know they hate it, I swear to God
Knowing where you are made you into a star
Made you into the man, no one else like this
Before the house was a house, it was on my wrist
It's the island life, yeah mahalo bitch
Went from ashy to classy, I'm aloe rich
I stay Aloe Blacc, man, Bino back
Man he never left, I smoke loud, I'm deaf
Your smoke plead the fifth, I know the glory
They hate on your shine because they know the story
Thrown to the wolves but your drive so Mowgli
I could drive through the hood and them, boys, they know me
Is he one of the greatest? Time will tell
But time is relative, they assume the melanin
And they kill the culture, this might insult ya
White man can't jump, and I (jump so high)
[Hook: Lion Babe]
(so high)
I jump so high (so high)
I jump so high (so high)
I got it right (so high, high, high)
(so high) I jump so high
(so high) I jump so high
(so high) I got it right
