Because I Got High Lyrics
Hmm
It's like... I don't care about nothin' man
Roll another blunt... Yeah (ohh ohh ohh)
La da da da da da La, Da Daaa
La da da da, La da da da, La da da daaa
I was gonna clean my room until I got high
I was gonna get up and find the broom...
but then I got high
My room is still messed up and I know why (Why man?)
Yea heyy
Because I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
(La da da da da da da da da)
I was gonna go to class before I got high
I coulda' cheated and I coulda' passed... but I got high
I am taking it next semester and I know why (Why man?)
Because I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
(La da da da da da da da da)
I was gonna go to work but then I got high
I just got a new promotion but I got high...
Now I'm selling dope and I know why (Why man?)
Because I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
(La da da da da da da da da)
I was gonna go to court before I got high
I was gonna pay my child support but then I got high (No you ain't!)
They took my whole paycheck and I know why
Cause I got high
Cause I got high
Cause I got high
(La da da da da da da da da)
I wasn't gonna run from the cops but I was high
I was gonna pull right over and stop... but I was high
Now I am a paraplegic and I know why (Why man?)
Because I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
(La da da da da da da da da)
I was gonna pay my car note until I got high
I wasn't gonna gamble on the boat but then I got high
Now the tow truck is pulling away and I know why (Why man?)
Because I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
(La da da da da da da da da)
I was gonna make love to you but then I got high
I was gonna eat yo' pussy too but then I got high
Now I'm jacking off and I know why
Because I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
(La da da da da da da da da)
I messed up my entire life because I got high
I lost my kids and wife because I got high
Now I'm sleeping on the sidewalk and I know why
Because I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
(La da da da da da da da da)
I'm gonna stop singing this song because I'm high
I'm singing this whole thing wrong because I'm high
And if I don't sell one copy I know why (why man?)

Meaning of Because I Got High
Hmm… It’s like I don’t care about nothin’ man. Afroman’s “Because I Got High” is a darkly humorous, self-deprecating anthem about the disastrous consequences of getting stoned repeatedly. The song revels in a cycle of procrastination and poor decisions fueled entirely by marijuana use – from neglecting responsibilities like cleaning, school, work, and even legal obligations to ultimately landing himself as a paraplegic. The repeated “Why man?” questions highlight a sense of bewildered acceptance and a frustrating inability to control his actions. It’s not a celebration of drug use, but rather a cynical observation about how easily one can derail their life when prioritizing getting high over everything else, wrapped in an absurd, almost cartoonish narrative.
