Until I got high (ooh)

And I know why (why, man?) yeah, hey
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high

I was gonna go to class
Before I got high (come on, y'all, shake it up)
I coulda cheated and I coulda passed
But I got high (ahn, ahn)

And I know why (why, man?) yeah, hey
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high (go to the next, go to the next)

I was gonna go to court
Before I got high (ooh)

But then I got high (no, you weren't)
They took my whole pay check

Because I got high
Because I got high (la, da, da, da, da)

I wasn't gonna run from the cops
But I was high (I'm serious, man, ooh)

I messed up my entire life
Because I got high (go, go, go)

'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high (la, da, da, da, da)

I'm gonna stop singing this song
Because I'm high

'Cause I'm high
Because I'm high
Because I'm high (la, da, da, da, da)
