[Intro]
Hey sugar how you doing huh?
Your pretty face don't match that nasty attitude
What you mean where my girl?
Probably with your man
Can we fuck?

[Chorus]
She won't let me fuck (babyyyyy)
I really need to bust a nut (ohhhhhh)
She won't let me fuck (honeyyyy)
I really need to bust a nut (ohhhhhh)

[Verse 1]
It's so flustrating, yeah, being a man
All these sexy women don't understand
Things we need to do yeah
Every other day or two
Like take you home baby yeah
And make sweet love to you
But you you won't let me fuck

[Chorus]
She won't let me fuck (You say the mood ain't right uh)
I really need to bust a nut (I know that pussy's tight)
She won't let me fuck (oh give it to me baby)
I really need to bust a nut (ohhhhh)

[Verse 2]
Her heart is still broken, her emotions are sore
She's trying to recover from the man before
Her ex boyfriend, he probably can't see
That it was easy for him, but, uh, he made it hard for me
Cause she she won't let me fuck

[Chorus]
She won't let me fuck (oh give it to me baby)
I really need to bust a nut (you know just what I need yeah)
She won't let me fuck (girl you eating all my food
Girl drinking all my beer)
I really need to bust a nut (you're smoking all my weed yeah)

[Verse 3]
You rub your ass against me on the disco floor
I asked you for your number and you said hell no
You always hang around me, everyday
Different women wanna kick it, but you scare them away
Now I get up offended when you come around
Cause I'm tired of my organs, going up and down
That sucks, cause she won't let me fuck

[Chorus]
She won't let me fuck (oh give it to me baby)
I really need to bust a nut (don't play with my head again)
She won't let me fuck (let me hit it baby
Yeah let me hit it baby)
I really need to bust a nut (are you a lesbian?)

[Bridge]
Oh let me lick it baby
Yeah let me stick it honey
I'll give you my money
Girl you can have it all
Go ahead and have a ball
If you want you can take em both, baby

[Verse 4]
In the year 2000, I see thousand
Of pretty young women I found arousin
Grocery store shoppin, magazine browsin
Many different ways to keep their hair styles in
Full of boredom, I walk toward em
Get em close to me, cause I'm suppose to be
Male aggressor, female impresser
Say the right things possibly undress her
But that's the post game
This is still the pre game
Silly woman, she game
Baby what's your name?
Even though I'm a freak
I play it off like a college geek
Crack a smile and politely speak
With intellect to the women I select
Hoping that she don't detect
My egotistical chauvinistical lust
I thrust till I scream like Mystikal
YAAAAAAHHHH!
The wrong message I hope I'm not sendin
Laughin and pretendin my dick's not extendin
Can't be over zealous she might discover
She's walking away, BITCH!, blew my cover

[Chorus]
She won't let me fuck (you know I love it)
I really need to bust a nut (please don't change the subject)
She won't let me fuck (we could've fucked all night long)
I really need to bust a nut (but you telephone number is bone)
She won't let me fuck (girl you got a lot to give)
I really need to bust a nut (you dress so provocative yeah)
She won't let me fuck (I can see your lingerie from real far away)
I really need to bust a nut (bitch! you must think I'm gay)

[Outro]
Aw don't make me beg
Baby let me rub your leg
Don't make me cry
Look into my eyes
Girl you so damn pretty
Stop acting so sadiddy
Let me rub some oil on your ti hahaha
Yo I'm up outta here she don't want to fuck cuz

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.
