All the fellas roll a fat blunt and
Smoke some green, smoke some green, smoke some (green)
All the ladies rub on your cunt and
Smoke some green, smoke some green, smoke some (green) x2

Because I got high in this bitch
You can't see my burgundy eye in this bitch
T burg Mississippi p-dale in this bitch
T-shirt, cds for sell in this bitch
Inhale and get high, my my my
You need to give beer and marijuana a try
I ride thirteens and hit the three will switch
I'm from Eastside Palmdale Cali, Biaatch
Hungry Hustler records with the marijuana leaf
Still pimpin' poor bitchs even though we got beef
Get an ounce, Get an ounce
Now I'm about to smoke some green
Flick my ashes, drink my glasses, and I keep my clothes clean
Two or three hoes wanna pose with Afroman
Marijuana, malt liquor, butt cheeks in my hand
Real women groping me
Cheater haters scoping me
Cops know I got some liquor plus I got some dope on me

All the fellas roll a fat blunt and
Smoke some green, smoke some green, smoke some (green)
All the ladies rub on your cunt and
Smoke some green, smoke some green, smoke some (green) x2

First my head start ta spin then my beer cup falls
Falls on all y'all. Oh shit ah nah
Started slapping hoe bitch
Took that bitch to berlin
Told that bitch to suck my dick till' the fucking world ends
All my homies got some bitches
All them bitches bring me riches
Put them riches in my britches
Leave them bitches in some ditches
Beers, blunts, bag of weed
Everything a brother need
No stems no seeds roll it up with speed
Palmdale cali anti-dope alley
So much weed my house look like a galley
I'm never on MTV, I'm never on BET
I talk too much about W-EED
Love me a sugar bear, great big derriere
Real long pretty hair, marijuana everywhere
Ride cross country, smokin' in the country
At the waffle house *chicken* I got the muchies

All the fellas roll a fat blunt and
Smoke some green, smoke some green, smoke some (green)
All the ladies rub on your cunt and
Smoke some green, smoke some green, smoke some (green) x2

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.
