Guess what day it is?
“Because I Got High” is a song by American rapper Afroman from his album of the same name. The lyrics of the song describe how cannabis[citation needed] use is degrading the narrator’s quality of life. The song, which was written in only a few minutes, rose from obscurity to popularity after it was circulated around the Internet and was featured on The Howard Stern Show.
You’re g damn right we need a citation that cannabis degrades one’s life.
The music video was directed by Kevin Smith and featured Jay and Silent Bob smoking with Afroman, a cameo by ‘Beer Man’, as well as a glimpse of the Quick Stop where Clerks was filmed.
Let’s check that out, shall we?
Because I Got High by Afroman
Because I Got High by Afroman Lyrics
I was gonna clean my room until I got high
I was gonna get up and find the broom but then I got high
My room is still messed up and I know why
‘Cause I got high
I was gonna go to class before I got high
I coulda cheated and I coulda passed but I got high
I am taking it next semester and I know why
‘Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I was gonna go to work but then I got high
I just got a new promotion but I got high
Now I’m selling dope and I know why
‘Cause 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 but then I got high
They took my whole paycheck and I know why
‘Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I wasn’t gonna run from the cops but I was high
I was gonna pull right over and stop but I was high
Now I am a paraplegic, and I know why, ’cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I was gonna pay my car note until I got high
I wasn’t gonna gamble on the boat but then I got high
Now the tow truck is pulling away and I know why
‘Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I was gonna make love to you but then I got high
I was gonna eat yo pussy too but then I got high
Now I’m jacking off and I know why
‘Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I messed up my entire life because I got high
I lost my kids and wife because I got high
Now I’m sleeping on the sidewalk and I know why
‘Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I’m gonna stop singing this song because I’m high
I’m singing this whole thing wrong because I’m high
And if I don’t sell one copy I know why
‘Cause I’m high
Because I’m high
Because I’m high
Get High
