Amerie Because I Love It Vol 1 Zip Weed
I love weed because it makes my whole life so much better. When i work out, i can smoke a J beforehand, and workout harder and concentrate on technique much better than when im sober. When im studying for a test, i can spark up a bowl and go into deep thought about the literature and get a permanent understanding. When im chilling with my buddys, we smoke and we have a great time no matter what we do and were honest with each other.
And when im with my girl, smoking makes me a much better boyfriend and a hell of a lot nicer person. I don't know what id do without you Mary Jane. I'm new to the forum, let me know why you guys love weed like i do. Marijuana balances me out, something a lot of people can't seem to comprehend.I'm a very angry person at everything but don't show it. I hide behind a facade of being outgoing and funny, but in reality im a dick.Only the closest off friends/girlfriend know this, and because they're still around they still remain closest to me.This plant has given me something.
Even when I'm sober now I don't fall into the flaws of humanity nearly as often.Jealousy, anger, and paranoia, problems I used to have are toned down tenfold.It also helps me eat sometimes haha.

AllHipHop.com praised the album giving it five out of five stars, stating that Amerie has the 'ability to convey excitement without sounding insane' but pointing out that 'doesn't fit neatly into any specific genre anyway, so she might as well leave the standard R&B fare to the army of standard R&B chicks available to sing them.'
