[Chorus: Jack Met]
Oh, I didn’t smoke no grass today
But that’s ‘cause I’m the one on stage
So who am I to take away
What makes you feel this great
I didn’t smoke no grass today
But that’s because I love to play
So who am I to take away
What makes you feel this great

[Verse 1: Jack Met]
Does the grass look greener (Greener)
On my side of the speakers (Speakers)
I tried a couple weekends
But that green’s not for me
I thought I’d get clever
Make my lyrics come out better
But at 7/11’s where you would find me

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
Don’t wanna get paranoid
Just wanna be making noise
You want a hit, it’s your choice
But please enjoy the show

[Chorus: Jack Met]
I didn’t smoke no grass today
But that’s ‘cause I’m the one on stage
So who am I to take away
What makes you feel this great
I didn’t smoke no grass today
But that’s because I love to play
So who am I to take away
What makes you feel this great

[Verse 2: Jack Met]
Last night at the concert (Concert)
The audience, it flickers (Flickers)
They’re lighting up like Christmas
Still, that green’s not for me
On corners people cursing
To legalize their burning
But that ain’t no concern of mine
I keep doing me

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
Don’t wanna get paranoid
Just wanna be making noise
You want a hit, it’s your choice
But please enjoy the show

[Chorus: Jack Met]
I didn’t smoke no grass today
But that’s ‘cause I’m the one on stage
So who am I to take away
What makes you feel this great
I didn’t smoke no grass today
But that’s because I love to play
So who am I to take away
What makes you feel this great

[Bridge: Ryan Met & Jack Met]
I’m not narcissistic
I’m just high off the music
And I don’t wanna miss it
But I wouldn’t stop you
I’m not narcissistic
You light up if you like it
And though I may not like it
You just keep doing you
(You just keep doing you, like)

[Interlude]
N-no grass today
N-no grass today
Keep-keep doing, keep doing me
Keep doing keep doing me
N-no grass today
Keep-keep doing, keep doing me
Keep doing, keep doing me
Keep-keep doing, keep doing me
Keep doing, keep doing me
N-no grass today

[Chorus: All]
I didn't smoke no grass today
But that’s ‘cause I’m the one on stage
So who am I to take away
What makes you feel this great
I didn’t smoke no grass today
But that’s because I love to play
So who am I to take away
What makes you feel this great

The indie-pop band AJR—three brothers born and raised in New York City—achieved a startlingly quick level of success with 2013 track “I’m Ready", a buoyant electro-pop smash that was featured in the trailer for Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck and became certified US Platinum in 2015.

Adam Met (bass/vocals), is the oldest brother, a Columbia University graduate. Ryan Met (ukulele/piano/vocals), a bespectacled ‘94 kid is the band’s main songwriter, also having co-written Andy Grammer hits “Back Home” and the certified gold “Good To Be Alive”. Jack Met (vocals/guitar), is the lead vocalist who splits time between the band and attending Columbia.

AJR began in 2005, busking on the streets and in the parks of New York. Raised on vinyls from the 50s and 60s, AJR was initially inspired by the likes of The Beach Boys and Frankie Valli, but the original sound they’ve now created resembles a modern mix of those classic sounds, with flavors of Imagine Dragons, fun., and hip-hop production elements pointing towards Kanye West.
