Before I hit the party (baby)
You know i need (what you need man, what you need man, what you need man)
Some coke 45 (baby), and a bag of weed (a bag of weed man, a bag of weed man, a bag of weed man) chorusx2

Friday night, time to party
Smoke marijuana, drink bacardi
Get drunk and I,before I leave
Put my hand on my wrist, push back my sleeve
Look at the time, i'm on my marijuana watch
Got a big thick girl rubbin on my crotch
My marijuana watch reads, 4ro:20
I'm getting fucked up while i make mo' money
The party don't start till 11:30 (porno time, watch so nerdy)
Thin girl with me got a big ol' butt
Whenever i want i can bust a, what
Jump off in the shower, 30 minutes to an hour
Stop out the shower on a thick white cloth
Big boodie bastray tryin me out

Before I hit the party (baby)

You know i need (what you need man, what you need man, what you need man)
Some coke 45 (baby), and a bag of weed (a bag of weed man, a bag of weed man, a bag of weed man) chorusx2

I turned on the music to help me pick, something sick
To keep the girls on my dick
Looked in the closet what did i see, hemp suits lookin back at me
Afroman be dressin pimpalicious, and women find me magicly delicious
Turn up the sterio, hit the blut, slick the fo' fo'
Weed, beer, plastic cup, afroman's pre-game warm up
Do it till the liqor and the weed kick in
My sight get blurry and my edge spin
Now i am offially fucked up
Pour the rest of the beer in my styrofoam cup

Before I hit the party (baby)
You know i need (what you need man, what you need man, what you need man)
Some coke 45 (baby), and a bag of weed (a bag of weed man, a bag of weed man, a bag of weed man) chorusx2

Afroman

Joseph ‘Afroman’ Foreman began writing songs and handing them out to his friends on cassette while in the eighth grade. At 25 years old, he released his first album, 1999’s Sell Your Dope. Soon after, he moved from LA to Mississippi with the mission to ‘get away from competition and sell to actual people’, releasing his sophomore album Because I Got High in 2000 on T-Bones Records. Its title track, written hastily after a friend showed up and interrupted him on an ambitious day and insisted they instead get high, was the last song he had recorded for the album. Soon after, Afroman left the music business.

At the same time, the file-sharing software Napster – heavily used at the time to share and distribute music for free – was at its peak of popularity, and the album’s title track became popular with its users. Universal Records caught wind and signed Afroman to a six album deal and released it as a single on July 6, 2001.

“Because I Got High” immediately became one of the most-requested songs across the nation, growing even larger after syndicated morning radio show host Howard Stern began airing it regularly, helping to make it ‘the most requested song on the radio in the country’. Further boosting its popularity was its inclusion in the film (and soundtrack to) Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back and MTV’s eventual agreement to air a modified, less-controversial music video for the song. It peaked at #13 in the US, and topped the charts in ten countries overseas. Its album The Good Times reached #10 in the US.
