Because I Got High
Afroman Lyrics

Roll another blunt, yeah (ooh ooh ooh)
Let's prepare to smoke more marijuana

I was gonna clean my room until I got high
I planned to tidy up my room, but after smoking marijuana, I didn't follow through

I was gonna get up and find the broom but then I got high
Instead of cleaning, I got distracted and forgot why I got up

My room is still messed up and I know why (why, man?)
I understand that my room is still untidy because I got high and didn't do what I intended to

'Cause I got high
The reason why I didn't do what I planned is that I got high

I was gonna go to class before I got high (come on, y'all)
I planned to attend my class, but marijuana changed my mind

(Check it out)
Listen carefully

I coulda cheated and I coulda passed but I got high
I had the chance to cheat and pass, but I didn't care because I was high.

I am taking it next semester and I know why (why, man?)
Since I got high, I didn't pass the test as given, and I have to take the course again next semester.

'Cause I got high

I was gonna go to court before I got high
I had some legal matters to take care of before using marijuana.

I was gonna pay my child support but then I got high (no, you wasn't)
I thought of paying my child's support, but once high, it slipped my mind.

They took my whole paycheck and I know why (why, man?)
I was punished by wage garnishment due to the unpaid child support I forgot to handle because I got high.

'Cause I got high
The reason why I lost my entire payment is that I got high and forgot to pay.

I wasn't gonna run from the cops but I was high
I didn't intend to avoid the police, but my altered state of mind changed my decision.

(I'm serious, man)
I'm not joking

I was gonna pull right over and stop but I was high
Despite my intentions to pull over, my marijuana use affected my reaction time, and the resulting actions led to further consequences.

Now I am a paraplegic, and I know why (why, man?)
I was in an accident because I was high, and it affected me for life.

'Cause I got high

I was gonna make love to you but then I got high
I intended to engage in sexual activities with you, but I got high instead.

I was gonna eat yo pussy, too, but then I got high
I had plans to perform oral sex on you, but because of marijuana use, I was no longer interested.

Now I'm jacking off and I know why (turn this shit off)
I'm masturbating now because I changed my mind after getting high.

'Cause I got high (keep going)
The reason why I'm masturbating now is that I got high and lost my desire for sex.

Because I got high (ayy, do that over again)
The cycle repeats because I'm getting high again.

I messed up my entire life because I got high
My life fell apart because of the effects of marijuana on my behavior and decision-making.

I lost my kids and wife because I got high (say what, say what, say what, say what)
My cannabis use led to the loss of my family, and I'm in disbelief.

Now I'm sleeping on the sidewalk and I know why (why, man?)
I'm homeless because I lost my family, job, and home due to marijuana use.

'Cause I got high
The reason behind my homelessness, joblessness, and loss of family is that I got high.

I'ma stop singing this song because I'm high (present tense, baby, oh)
I will stop singing this song now because I'm high right now.

I'm singing this whole thing wrong because I'm high (bring it back, bring it back)
I'm not singing this song correctly because I'm high, and my mind is wandering.

And if I don't sell one copy I'll know why (why, man?)
I won't sell any copies of my music because my mind isn't in the right space due to marijuana use.

'Cause I'm high
The reason why I won't prosper through music is that I'm always high.
