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)
