Back and forward, back and forward

I never move in, with a bitch
I've got my own place, coz' bitch I'm rich
(Say what?)

Keep bitchin' you bitch, that's fine
Push eject outta my Alpine
Look up in the sky
There's plenty of stars
You ain't the only person with some cars

I wouldn't even look at you, i wouldn't get involved
You're nothing but a problem that i've already solved
You got me twisted

I know all about you bitch
I know all about you bitch
Your attitude is too shitty, you ain't got no ass and no titties
Bitch
I know all about you bitch
I know all about you bitch
Your attitude is too shitty, you ain't got no ass and no titties
Bitch

My dick's in your mouth, back and forward back and forward
Back and forward, back and forward
My dick's in your mouth, back and forward back and forward

So go ahead and shut up
Pour some Colt 45 in my cup
Oops, i bet you didn't know
We don't tolerate bitches like you, hoe
You little stupid bitch
Thinkin' you're the only person rich
Drop on down to your knees
Hurry up and get these N-U-T-S

I know all about you bitch
I know all about you bitch
Your attitude is too shitty, you ain't got no ass and no titties
Bitch
I know all about you bitch
I know all about you bitch
Your attitude is too shitty, you ain't got no ass and no titties
Bitch

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.
