I was gonna clean my room
Until I got high (ooh)
I was gonna get up and find the broom
But then I got high (la, da, da)
My room is still messed up
And I know why (why, man?) yeah, hey
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I was gonna go to class
Before I got high (come on, y'all, shake it up)
I coulda cheated and I coulda passed
But I got high (ahn, ahn)
I'm taking it next semester
And I know why (why, man?) yeah, hey
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high (go to the next, go to the next)
I was gonna go to court
Before I got high (ooh)
I was gonna pay my child support
But then I got high (no, you weren't)
They took my whole pay check
And I know why (why, man?) yeah, hey
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high (la, da, da, da, da)
I wasn't gonna run from the cops
But I was high (I'm serious, man, ooh)
I was gonna pull right over and stop
But I was high
Now I'm a paraplegic
And I know why (why, man?) yeah, hey
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high (la, da, da, da, da)
I was gonna make love to you
But then I got high, I'm serious (ooh)
I was gonna eat your pussy, too
But then I got high
Now, I'm jacking off and I know why (turn this shit on)
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high (la, da, da, da, da)
I messed up my entire life
Because I got high (go, go, go)
I lost my kids and wife
Because I got high (say what, say what?)
Now I'm sleeping on the sidewalk
And I know why (why, man?) yeah, hey
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high (la, da, da, da, da)
I'm gonna stop singing this song
Because I'm high
I'm singing this whole thing wrong
Because I'm high (bring it back, bring it back)
And if I don't sell one copy
I'll know why (why, man?) yeah, hey
'Cause I'm high
Because I'm high
Because I'm high (la, da, da, da, da)
