Proud to Be a Stoner

Yeah

You know, sometimes it's a little confusing to me

All these people sitting on their high horses

Looking down on us for smoking a plant or growing a plant

Well, I believe in nature's laws, and I just wanna be free

From the mountaintops, where the wind blows

To the green valleys down below

Where the snow melts and the rivers flow

I just want to live my life

When the trees grow, and the air is clean

Where nature's free to do her thing

Everything is one, if you know what I mean

I just want to live my life

I'm proud to be a stoner (I'm proud to be)

I'm proud to be a stoner (I'm proud to be)

I'm proud to be a stoner, yes I am (for the rest of my days)

I started smoking weed at the age of 18

I moved out of my house, started writing rap beats

I moved to Hollywood, we was up in the scene

It was Dloc, Johnny Rich, and my homeboy Steve

We was teenagers, yeah, living a dream

Lookin' up to Daddy X, tryin' to do this rap thing

Wrote the first couple songs, it was "Bump, bump"

We was so High, gettin' blown off the skunk

At the 15's in the trunk down Melrose

Bitches in the club, gettin' drunk, spittin' flows

Tryin' to get a record deal, we gettin' signed

I was broke with no money, but that was back in '95

I'm proud to smoke weed, and I'm proud of what we've done

I'm proud of the kings, and I'm proud of everyone

I'm proud, my name is Dloc, no joke, son

And I'll be proud when I'm a dad, when I have a daughter or a son

From the mountaintops, where the wind blows

To the green valleys down below

Where the snow melts and the rivers flow

I just want to live my life

Where the trees grow, and the air is clean

Where nature's free to do her thing

Everything is one, if you know what I mean

I just want to live my life

I'm proud to be a stoner (I'm proud to be)

I'm proud to be a stoner (I'm proud to be)

I'm proud to be a stoner, yes I am (for the rest of my days)

It's those lazy days, and the hazy days

And the days we get stoned for just days and days

It's amazing when we get to live this way, like every day is a holiday

At the harvest time, when the work is done

And I celebrate by worshiping the earth and the sun

We always give thanks for life and the gifts

The higher you climb, it's the higher you get

You gotta disconnect from all the pressure and stress

The traffic, the smog, and the pains of rent

Well, if that's real livin', it's not for me

I wanna be free and live in peace, come on

From the mountaintops, where the wind blows

To the green valleys down below

Where the snow melts and the rivers flow

I just want to live my life

Where the trees grow, and the air is clean

Where nature's free to do her thing

Everything is one, if you know what I mean

I just want to live my life

I'm proud to be a stoner (I'm proud to be)

I'm proud to be a stoner (I'm proud to be)

I'm proud to be a stoner, yes I am (for the rest of my days)

I'm proud to be a stoner (I'm proud to be)

I'm proud to be a stoner (I'm proud to be)

I'm proud to be a stoner, yes I am (for the rest of my days)

Another version of life lived, a different set of meanings

Another way of thinking, a different kind of me

A brand-new religion, one that's never been rehearsed

But it's cursed, and this curse comes in the end of this earth

So many people worry about the troubles that they got at hand

Too many simple solutions to restoring this land

And when it's all said and done

We're gonna tell our kids that we did the best we could

But we know that we didn't

It's gettin' crazy, summer's hot when it's freezin'

Hurricanes getting stronger, tearin' up the southern regions

Big fires taking lives, it's pure destruction

We're at a fork in the road, time to choose the right junction

Before there's nothing left, we need to stop this regression

Get all the leaders of the world together in a session

Only thing, if there's a shot, that if our kids would thrive

In a world that is growin', I just wanna survive

From the mountaintops, where the wind blows

To the green valleys down below

Where the snow melts and the rivers flow

I just want to live my life

When the trees grow, and the air is clean

Where nature's free to do her thing

Everything is one, if you know what I mean

I just want to live my life

I'm proud to be a stoner (I'm proud to be)

I'm proud to be a stoner (I'm proud to be)

I'm proud to be a stoner, yes I am (for the rest of my days)

I'm proud to be a stoner (I'm proud to be)

I'm proud to be a stoner (I'm proud to be)

I'm proud to be a stoner, yes I am (for the rest of my days)
