(Intro)
Yeah, how you doin?
Haha, right
Guess I'mma go ahead and break this weed down, hell yeah
No seeds, just crumble it wit'cha fist
Aww yeah, fresh blunts man
I love it when they split down the middle like a brand new fresh baked brownie.. just ugh
I know they don't smoke weed in town though
The blunts be crackin like fall leaves n shit, know what I'm sayin?

(Hook)
I smoke two blunts in the morning
I smoke two blunts at night (Smoke two blunts at night)
I smoke two blunts in the afternoon
It makes me feel alright (Makes me feel alright)
I smoke two blunts in the time of peace
I smoke two in the time of war (Two in the time of waaar)
I smoke two blunts before I smoke two blunts
And then I smoke two more (Then I smoke two moooore)

(Verse 1)
Gotta stay calm (Calm) gotta stay cool (Cool)
Can't blow up and act a fool
Wisdom, reason, login, sense
Gotta be relaxed, not tense
I can't overreact (Overreact)
Cause It's over if the wrong person overreact, back (BLat!)
One puff, one day at a time (Day at a time)
One forty ounce, one big fat dime (Big fat dime)
One nation, under a groove (Under a groove)
Nothin to prove
Hit the blunt, don't move (Bucauwk, yeah)
Soothe me baby
Before life, drive me crazy

(Hook)
I smoke two blunts in the morning
I smoke two blunts at night (Smoke two blunts at night)
I smoke two blunts in the afternoon
It makes me feel alright (Makes me feel alright)
I smoke two blunts in the time of peace
I smoke two in the time of war (Two in the time of waaar)
I smoke two blunts before I smoke two blunts
And then I smoke two more (Then I smoke two moooore)

(Verse 2)
Early in the mornin 'fore my day gets started (Day gets started)
I grab a knife and my blunt gets parted (Parted)
Grab the trash, if you know what I mean (Know what I mean)
My blunt need to get its colon cleaned (Its colon cleaned)
Tobacco gone, no hesitation (Hesitation)
Restore the blunt with good vegetation (Vegetation)
I got a personal lighter (Personal lighter)
If you steal it, hope you a good fighter
Spark, flick, flaaaame (Flaaaaame)
Hit the blunt real slow with no shaaame (Shaaaaame)
Get lifted, spliffted, I feel gifted (Bucaulk)
I only smoke it, I never sniffed it

(Hook)
I smoke two blunts in the morning
I smoke two blunts at night (Smoke two blunts at night)
I smoke two blunts in the afternoon
It makes me feel alright (Makes me feel alright)
I smoke two blunts in the time of peace
I smoke two in the time of war (Two in the time of waaar)
I smoke two blunts before I smoke two blunts
And then I smoke two more (Then I smoke two moooore)

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.
