Roll another blunt, yeah (ooh ooh ooh)
La la da da da da, la da da
La da da da, la da da da, la da da da

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?)
Yeah, hey
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high

La da da da da da da

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
I am taking it next semester and I know why (why, man?)
Yeah, hey
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high

(Go to the next one, go to the next one, go to the next one)

I was gonna go to court before I got high
I was gonna pay my child support but then I got high (no, you wasn't)
They took my whole paycheck and I know why (why, man?)
Yeah, hey
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high

La da da da da da

I wasn't gonna run from the cops but I was high
(I'm serious, man)
I was gonna pull right over and stop but I was high
Now I am a paraplegic, and I know why (why, man?)
Yeah, hey
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high

La 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 (turn this shit off)
Yeah, hey
'Cause I got high (keep going)
Because I got high (ayy, do that over again)
Because I got high (come on, man, come on)

La 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 (say what, say what, say what, say what)
Now I'm sleeping on the sidewalk and I know why (why, man?)
Yeah, hey
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high

La da da da da da

I'ma stop singing this song because I'm high (present tense, baby, oh)
I'm singing this whole thing wrong because I'm high (bring it back, bring it back)
And if I don't sell one copy I'll know why (why, man?)
'Cause I'm high
'Cause I'm high
'Cause I'm high (are you really high though, man?)

La da da da da da

La da da da da da, la da da da
He really is high, man
Shoop shooby doo wop
Get jiggy wit it, skibbidy bee bop diddy do wah

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
