Sublime Music from Long Beach, CA

1. Garden Grove

We took this trip to garden grove It smelt like lou-dog in the van This ain't no reggae party $5 at the door Get so real sometimes who wrote my rhymes I got the microwave got the vcr I got the duece duece in the trunk of my car oh yea If you only knew that all the love that I found It's hard to keep my soul on the ground Your a fool don't fuck around with my dog All I can see I steal as I fill up my garage cuz in my mind music from Jamaica All the love that I found pull over there's a reason why my soul is unsound It's you it's that shit stuck under my shoe It's that smell inside the van It's my bed sheet covered with sand Sitting through a shitty band Getting dog shit on my hands Getting hassled by the man Waking up to an alarm Sticking needles in your arm Picking up trash on the freeway Feeling depressed every day Leaving without making a sound Pickin up my dog at the pound Livin in a tweeker pad Getting yelled at by my Dad Saying I'm happy when I'm not Finding roaches in the pot All these things I do They're waiting para tu.

2. What I Got

Early in the morning risin' to the street Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet Got to find a reason things went wrong Got to find a reason why my money's all gone I got a dalmation and I can still get high I can play the guitar like a mother fucking riot Life is too short so love the one you got cause you might get runover or you might get shot Never start no static I just get it off my chest Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest Take a small example A tip from me take all of your money and give it up to charity Lovin's what I got It's withing my reach and the sublime style's still straight from long beach It all comes back to you you're gonna get what you deserve try and test that you're bound to get served Love's what I got don't start a riot You feel it when the dance gets hot Lovin' is what I got I said remember that why I don't cry when my dog runs away I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay I don't get angry when my Mom smokes pot, hits that botte and goes back to the rock Fuckin and fighting it's all the same Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane Let the lovin come back to me

3. Wrong Way

Annie's 12 years old in two more she'll be a whore Nobody ever told her it's the wrong way Don't be afraid with the quickness you get laid for your family gets paid It's the wrong way I gave her all that I had to give I'm gonna make it hard to live Big salty tears running down her chin And it ruins up her make up I never wanted a cigarette pressed between het lips but I'm staring at her tits It's the wrong way strong if I can but I am only a man so I take her to the can it's the wrong way The only family that she ever had was her 7 older brothers and her drunk-ass dad He needed money so he put her on the street everything was going fine till the day that she met me Happy are you sad, wanna shoot your dad I'll do anything I can the wrong way We talked all night and tried to make it right Believe me shit was tight It's was the wrong way Go run away if you don't wanna stay Cause I ain't here to make ya' It's up to you what you really wanna do Spend some time in America dub-style So we ran away and I'm sorry when I say that to this very day It was the wrong way She took a hike it don't matter if I like it or not cause she only wants the wrong way

4. Same In The End

Down in Mississippi where the sun beats down from the sky They give it up but they never ask why Daddy was a rollin' stone He rolled away one day and he never came home It ain't hard to understand this ain't Hitler's master plan What it takes to be a man In my mind and in my brain I roll it over like a steamin' frieght train It ain't hard to ascertain You only see what you want to believe When you light up in the back with those tricks up your sleeve That don't mean I can't hang But the day that I die will be the day I shut my mouth and put down my guitar Sunday morning hold church down at the bar Get down on your knees and start to pray Pray my itchy rash will go away Back up y'all it ain't me Kentucky Fried Chicken is all that I see It's a hellified way to start your day If I make you cry all night Me and daddy are gonna have a fist fight It ain't personal it ain't me I only hear what you told me to be I'm a backward ass hillbilly I'm dick butkiss You know I lie I get mean I'm a thief in the dark I'm a ragin machine I'm a triple rectified ass son of a bitch Rec-tite on my ass and it makes me itch I can see for miles and miles and miles My broken heart makes me smile In my mind in my brain I go back and go completely insane It ain't personal It ain't me If I make you cry I might be your daddy at the end of the night Take a load from my big gun You only see what you want to believe When you creep from the back I got tricks up my sleeve 24/7 the devils my best friend Makes no difference it's all the same in the end

5. April 29, 1992

April 26th, 1992 there was a riot on the streets Tell me where were you You were sittin' home watchin' your tv I was paticipating in some anarchy First spot we hit it was my liqour store I finally got all the alcohol I can't afford With red lights flashin' time to retire And then we turned that liquor store into a structure fire Next stop as the music shop, It only took one brick to make the window drop Finally we got our own p.a. Where do you think I got this guitar that you're hearing today When we returned to the pad to unload everything It dawned on me that I need new home furnishings So once again we filled the van until it was full Since that day my livin' room's been more comfortable Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here It's getting harder and harder and harder each and every year Some kids went in a store with thier mother I saw her when she came out she was gettin some pampers They said it was for the black man They said it was for the mexican and not for the white man But if you look at the streets it wasn't about Rodney King It's bout this fucked up situation and the fucked up police It's about coming up and staying on top and screamin' 187 on a mother fuckin' cop It's not written on the paper it's on the wall National guard smoke from all around

6. Santeria

I don't practice santeria I aint got no crystal ball I had a million dollars but I'd I'd spend it all I could find that heina and that sancho that she's found well I'd pop a cap in sancho and I'd slap her down What I really wanna know, my baby what I really want to say I can't define Well it's love that I need but my soul will have to wait till I get back and find heina of my own Daddy's gonna love one and all I feel the break and I got to live it up well I swear that I really wanna know baby what I really want to say I can't define that love make it go my soul will have to... What I really wanna say baby What I really wanna say is I've got mine and I'll make it Yes, I'm comin' up Tell sanchito that if he knows what is good for him he best go run and hide Daddy's got a new .45 And I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down sancho's throat Believe me when I say that I got somethin for his punk ass What I really wanna know my baby what I really wanna say is there's just one way back and I'll make it yea but my soul will have to wait

7. Seed

Janie always said I was a mess Sorry bout that mess I made her bleed I'm planting my seed Still I knew she could take it if I opened up the rhythm I knew it could make it but I hope her parents love her So feelin the acid on the brain if I got that frame I made her bleed yeah she wants that lovin you see Well if you live you wanna give or get old And if you never knew that we get old you live it up you live it up you get old believe me when I say It's the same shit everyday but if you got to know my place And if you don't it smacks you in your face but I know her parents love her I hope her parents love her I hope her parents love her so... Billyed back in 1983 what did you do for me I made her bleed well I'm lovin' I'm planting my seed babe I knew we could make it I only knew that the bitch would break it I hope her parents love her So my God look at me If he had to go I know I I'm barely lovin' my holy creed You never knew that was what you need Oh my god honestly believe it or not its a disease I hope her parents love her I hope her parents love her so...

9. Pawn Shop
