One Hit WonderAfroman

Released: November 25, 2014

Songwriter: Afroman

Producer: Afroman

Chorus:
As, I hit the bong
I wonder, what went wrong
With my mainstream hip hop fans
As, I toke along reminiscing weed we smoked on all day, and all night long

I'm the rap star Afroman, off the charts and I feel the pain
Wishing I wouldn't rack my brain, 2 Chain and Little Wayne
I wonder, wo.wo.wo.wo.wonder
Why, is it because I got high you don't think I'm fly
Call me one hit wonder, curse me to the day I die
One hit wonder, I hit the blunt and just wonder

Verse: 1
How can I be just a one hit Wonder
83 albums, hitting like thunder
You think 1 hit is all I got
But I play 90 minutes or a 3 hour slot
1 hit that's 1 song, the average song 4 minutes 20 seconds long
Explain how I entertain for hours, drunk and hot, supernatural powers
Afro fans would act a fool, If I don't sing hits like "Back to School"
I get complaints from my fans, If I don't sing hits like Tall Cans
Afroman you suck, if you don't sing "She Won't Let Me Fuck"
I might have to fight, If I don't sing "Lets Get Drunk Tonight"
I can't leave alive if I don't sing "Colt 45"
Colt 45 and two zig zags, baby that's all we need

Chorus:
As, I hit the bong
I wonder, what went wrong
With my mainstream hip hop fans
As, I toke along reminiscing weed we smoked on all day, and all night long

I'm the rap star Afroman, off the charts and I feel the pain
Wishing I wouldn't rack my brain, 2 Chain, and Little Wayne
I wonder, wo.wo.wo.wo.wonder
Why, is it because I got high you don't think I'm fly
Call me one hit wonder, curse me to the day I die
One hit wonder, I hit the blunt and just wonder

Verse: 2
Afro, Afroman, sing "I Live in a Van"
Come on don't be no wussy
We wanna here "In Your Pussy"
Afroman, I'm bomb as hell, I wrote songs like "Palmdale"
Leave the stage they yelling no
They wanna here hits like "Sell Your Dope"
Hush, the crowds callin my name
Hits like "Hush" bring me fame
How can I be just a one hit wonder
I hit the blunt just wonder

Chorus:
As, I hit the bong
I wonder, what went wrong
With my mainstream hip hop fans
As, I toke along reminiscing weed we smoked on all day, and all night long

I'm the rap star Afroman, off the charts and I feel the pain
Wishing I wouldn't rack my brain, 2 Chain, and Little Wayne
I wonder, wo.wo.wo.wo.wonder
Why, is it because I got high you don't think I'm fine
Call me one hit wonder, curse me to the day I die
One hit wonder, I hit the blunt and just wonder

Verse: 3
Encore, yes indeed they like my hit song "Tumbleweed"
I made another hit for yah, "Just My Paranoia"
Your party is live, but my party is live(er)
When I say "Colt 45", the gangster, the frat boy and the Hippie
Wanna here that hit song "Mississippi"
Pass me the spliff, I wrote a hit song "Graveyard Shift"
Everywhere I go people make a fuss, I wrote "Back on the Bus"
They pay me green baby, know what I mean baby
I wrote that hit song I'm a "Dope Fiend" baby
How can I be just a one hit wonder
I hit the blunt just wonder

Chours:
As, I hit the bong
I wonder, what went wrong
With my mainstream hip hop fans
As, I toke along reminiscing weed we smoked on all day, and all night long

I'm the rap star Afroman, off the charts and I feel the pain
Wishing I wouldn't rack my brain, 2 Chain, and Lil Wayne
I wonder, wo.wo.wo.wo.wonder
Why, is it because I got high you don't think I'm fly
Call me one hit wonder, curse me to the day I die
One hit wonder, I hit the blunt and just wonder

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.
