Roll another blunt
Yeah (ooh-ooh-ooh)
(La-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)

(La, ta, ta
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la)

I was gonna clean my room until I got high (ooh)
I was gonna get up and find the broom
But then I got high (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)
My room is still messed up, and I know why (why? Man)

‘Cause I got high, because I got high
Because I got high (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)

I was gonna go to class before I got high (come on y’all, check it out)
I coulda cheated and I coulda passed
But I got high (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)
I’m taking it next semester and I know why (why? Man)

‘Cause I got high, because I got high
Because I got high (got to the next one, got to the next one)

I was gonna go to court before I got high (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I was gonna pay my child support
But then I got high (no, you wouldn’t, yeah)
They took my whole paycheck and I know why (why? Man)

‘Cause I got high, because I got high
Because I got high (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)

I wasn’t gonna run from the cops
But I was high (uh, I’m serious man)
I was gonna pull right over and stop
But I was high (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)
Now I am a paraplegic and I know why (why? Man)

‘Cause I got high, because I got high
Because I got high (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)

I was gonna make love to you, but then I got high (oh, I’m serious)
I was gonna eat yo’ ***** too, but then I got high (oh)
Now I’m jacking off, and I know why (turn this **** up)

‘Cause I got high, because I got high
Because I got high (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)

I messed up my entire life because I got high (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I lost my kids and wife because I got high (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)
Now I’m sleeping on the sidewalk and I know why (why? Man)

‘Cause I got high, because I got high
Because I got high (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)

I’m gonna stop singing this song because I’m high (baby, oh)
I’m singing this whole thing wrong
Because I’m high (yeah, bring it back, bring it back)
And if I don’t sell one copy, I know why (why? Man)

‘Cause I’m high, ’cause I’m high
‘Cause I’m high (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)

(La-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)
(La, ta, ta)
(Get giggy with it)
