(Afroman)
I was gonna clean my room, before I got high.
(Ooo, ooo, ooo.)
I was gonna get up and find the broom, before I got high.
(La, dadadadada.)
My room is still messed up and I know why.
(Why, man?)
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high.
(La, dadadadadadada.)
I was gonna go to class before I got high.
I coulda cheated, and I woulda passed, but then I got high.
I gotta take it next semester and I know why.
(Why, man?)
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high.
I was gonna go to court before I got high.
I was gonna pay my child support before I got high.
They're gonna take my entire paycheck and I know why.
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high.
I wasn't gonna run from the cops until I got high.
I was just gonna pull over and stop but I was high.
(No, you wasn't.)
Now, I'm a paraplegic and I know why.
(Why, man?)
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high.
I was gonna make love to you before I got high.
(Ooooh!)
I was gonna eat your pu**y too, before I got high.
Now I'm jaggin off and I know why!
(WHY, MAN?)
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high.
I messed up my entire life because I was high.
I lost my kids and wife because I was high.
Now I'm sleepin' on the sidewalk and I know why.
(WHY, MAN?)
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high.
I'ma stop singin' this song, because I'm high.
I'm singin' this whole thing wrong because I'm high.
And if it doesn't sell one copy, I'll know why!
(WHY, MAN?)
Because I'm high, because I'm high, because I'm high!
(One voice: La, dadadadada, dadadadada.)
