Proud To Be A Stoner
Kottonmouth Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
All these people sitting on their high horses,
Looking down on us for smoking a plant or growing a plant.
Well I believe in natures laws, and I just wanna be free.
From the mountain tops, where the wind blows
To the green valleys down below.
Where the snow melts and the rivers flow
I just want to live my life.
Where the trees grow, and the air is clean.
Where nature's free do to her thing, everything is one if you know what I mean.
I just want to live my life.
I'm proud to be a stoner, I'm proud to be a stoner, I'm proud to be a stoner.
Yes I am, for the rest of my days.
I started smokin weed at the age of eighteen,
I moved out my house started writing rap beats.
I moved to Hollywood, we was up in the scene,
It was Dloc, Johnny Rich, and my home boy Steve.
We was, teenagers, yeah living a dream.
Lookin up to Daddy X, tryin' to do this rap thing.
Wrote the first couple songs it was "bump bump" we was "so high" gettin' blown off the skunk.
15's in the trunk down Melrose,
Bitches in the club, gettin' drunk spittin' flows.
Tryin' to get a record deal, we gettin' signed.
I was broke with no money, and that was back in 95.
I'm proud to smoke weed, and I'm proud of what we've done.
I'm proud of the kings, and I'm proud of everyone.
I'm proud my name is Dloc, no joke son,
And I'll be proud when I'm a dad, when I have a daughter or a son.
From the mountain tops, where the wind blows
To the green valleys down below.
Where the snow melts and the rivers flow
I just want to live my life.
Where the trees grow, and the air is clean.
Where nature's free do to her thing, everything is one if you know what I mean.
I just want to live my life.
I'm proud to be a stoner, I'm proud to be a stoner, I'm proud to be a stoner.
Yes I am, for the rest of my days.
Its those lazy days
And the hazy days and the days we get stoned for just days and days.
Its amazing when we get to live this way, like every day is a holiday.
At the harvest time, when the work is done.
And I celebrate by worshiping the earth and the sun
We always give thanks, for life and the gifts.
The higher you climb, its the higher you get.
You gotta disconnect, from all the pressure and stress.
The traffic, the smog and the pains of rent.
If that's real livin', its not for me,
I wanna be free, and live in peace, come on.
From the mountain tops, where the wind blows
To the green valleys down below.
Where the snow melts and the rivers flow
I just want to live my life.
Where the trees grow, and the air is clean.
Where nature's free do to her thing, everything is one if you know what I mean.
I just want to live my life.
I'm proud to be a stoner, I'm proud to be a stoner, I'm proud to be a stoner.
Yes I am, for the rest of my days.
I'm proud to be a stoner, I'm proud to be a stoner, I'm proud to be a stoner.
Yes I am, for the rest of my days
Another version of life lived, a different set of meanings
Another way of thinking, a different type of me.
A brand new religion, one that has never been rehearsed
But its cursed, and this curse could mean the end of this earth.
So many people worry about the troubles that they got at hand
To many simple solutions to restoring this land
And when its all said and done,
And were gonna tell our kids that we did the best we could,
But we know that we didn't.
Its gettin' crazy, summers hot, when its freezin'.
Huricans getting stronger tearin' up the southern regions.
Big fires taking lifes, its pure destruction.
Were at a fork in the road, time to choose the right junction.
Before theirs nothing left,
We need to stop this regression.
Get all the leaders of the world together in a session.
Only thing, if theirs a shot that if our kids would thrive in a world that is growin',
I just wanna survive.
From the mountain tops, where the wind blows
To the green valleys down below.
Where the snow melts and the rivers flow
I just want to live my life.
Where the trees grow, and the air is clean.
Where nature's free do to her thing, everything is one if you know what I mean.
I just want to live my life.
I'm proud to be a stoner, I'm proud to be a stoner, I'm proud to be a stoner.
Yes I am, for the rest of my days.
Kottonmouth Kings’ song Proud To Be A Stoner is an ode to the lifestyle that they embrace, despite the judgment and criticism of others. The first verse touches on the hypocrisy of people who look down on them for using a plant that grows naturally. The band believes in the laws of nature and the freedom to live their lives as they choose, in harmony with the environment. The second verse is a reflection of their journey as musicians and the hardships they faced to get where they are today. The band members started smoking at a young age and used music to express themselves. They sought a record deal and worked hard to achieve their dreams. The chorus repeats the central message of the song – that they are proud to be stoners and embrace this lifestyle, and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives.
The third verse brings attention to environmental issues and the importance of living sustainably. They celebrate being able to escape the pressures of society and modern life by being able to live in harmony with nature, creating a new kind of religion that acknowledges the importance of taking care of the earth. They argue that society is at a crossroads where it must make a decision to move towards a more sustainable future or risk destruction. In the end, they simply want to survive in a world that is growing more complex and dangerous, and to live their lives on their own terms.

Summer of 2010 was my nostalgic time. Smoked out of a bong until sober w/ three friends on the auditorium of my high school in the middle of the night. Spent the night, woke up to cheerleaders walking passed as we had slept in on this mat in a wall ball court between the gym and football field.
