Ruca
Punk Rock changed our lives
(dog barking)
good boy, good boy, good boy
on the east side
that's where I met my Ramona
"I wanna go to a party"
that's what she said
lonely
that's what I've been
here's my telephone number call me
and to a party, a house party
whole loop-a people just rally 'round me
and love
she send a message of love.
she said
"I love up the way you move
I love the way you rap"
bo! bo!
Ramona please step back
now she's my ruca
I'm barely waiting for my heina
she moved from long beach down to L.A.
right now she's selling oranges by the freeway
I wanna know
Ramona am I the only one, tell me
and she said
"you're not the only one but you're the best Bradley"
bo! bo!
and now I'm waiting for my ruca
and I barely pulled up with my heina
I know tonight I'll be behind her
don't fuck around with my heina
Get out!
It's 8:05, this is Phillis in the office. The cat is out on the patio.
If it jumps one more time, your butts are in the street. I am sick and
tired of your activities, and your cat, and your untruths with me. I'm
going to call you tomorrow, when you're home, and you better explain a lot
of things to me because I'm sick and tired of your bull-shit. Good night.
my place is not a home
it don't make no difference
but I have found
that I need a place to stay
I never listen what the landlord man say
you should have seen all the flops in my house
we was jumping on walls and kicking ceilings
nowadays people listen to me when I say... "Get out!"
hold me and don't let go
it don't make no difference that you're a ho
because I need a place to stay
A new disease was just the price I paid
in days of old thats how it used to be
oh yes indeed
that girl is dead to me now
and I sing... "Get out!"
one two three four
lemme bust a freestyle then
fuck you man, I gotta bone to pick
so sit, don't trip
I'm cuttin' hits like Bert Susanka's got the shrimp dip
I get it get it get it get it all the time
people wants to know the meaning of the word Sublime
it's anarchist, man it's the shit you missed
we get the Minutemen loops
and add a Peni twist
cuz we know you love the pit
but this is the shit
that you put in the box
and say, "damn it's a hit!"
and to all the radios and the TV shows
cause we don't kiss no ass or kick down free shows
what you get is the kind no gank no cess
when yellow lover's on the d-r-u-m-s
well let the lovin' take a hold over me
let the lovin' take a hold over me
(follow me long beach posse)
cause all I see is your fussin' and fightin'
it's 1992 so lets all start uniting
put your hands together be the best you can be
let this jam take us to 1993
to stay positive
the love will come back to me
40 Oz to Freedom
you got your hair permed
you got your red dress on
screamin' that second gear was such a turn-on
and the fog forming on my window
tells me that the morning's here
and you'll be gone before too long
who taught you those new tricks?
damn, i shouldn't start that talk
but life is one big question when your starin' at the clock
and the answers always waiting
at the liquor store
40oz. to freedom -
so I take that walk
and I know that
oh, I'm not goin' back
oh not going back
oh god knows
I'm not going back
oh not goin'
Hey man, anyone wanna make a run down to AM/PM with me?
It's like quarter-to right now bro.
Shit, can you like, loan me like, a buck or two dude?
Jai said he was gonna be here around 2:00 I haven't even seen him.
Just totally broke, man owes me twenty bucks man.
Get over it, fuck, sorry.
I'm not dealin' with that fuckin' chince no more.
Take those bottles back Eric
and you look so fine
when you lie, it just don't show
but I know which way the wind blows
a 40oz. to freedom is the only chance I have
to feel good even though I feel bad
and I know that
oh I'm not goin' back
oh, I'm not goin' back
oh, god knows, I'm not going back
oh, I'm...not goin'
oh....I'm not goin' back
oh, I'm not goin' back
oh, god knows, I'm not going back
oh, I'm...not goin'
there's a whole one left in the freezer...
Smoke Two Joints
She was living in a single room with three other individuals.
One of them was a male and the other two, well, the other two were females.
God only know what they were up to in there. And furthermore Susan,
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them habitually
smoke marijuana cigarettes... reefers
I smoke two joints in the morning
I smoke two joints at night
I smoke two joints in the afternoon
it makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
and then I smoke two more
smoked cigarettes 'til the day she died
toke a big spliff of some good sensimilla
Eazy-E were ya ever caught slippin'? Hell no!
daddy he once told me, "son you be hard workin' man"
and mama she once told me, "son, you do the best you can"
but then one day I met a man who came to me and said,
"hard work good and art work fine, but first take care of head"
whoa rock me tonight
whoa-oh Jah say
whoa-ohh
Were Only Gonna Die For Our Own Arrogance
(one, two, three, four)
early man walked away as modern man took control
their minds weren't all the same, to conquer was their goal
so he built his great empire and he slaughtered his own kind
he died a confused man, killed himself with his own mind
early man walked away as modern man took control
their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal
so he built his great empire and he slaughtered his own kind
and he died a confused man and he killed himself with his own mind...
let's go!!

let's go!!
Punks are running wild in the streets and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do.
And there's no end to it. It's like everything, everywhere is going crazy so we don't go out anymore.
We stay in the house, and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller
and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Just leave us alone!"
Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone.
There's got to be something different. [skunk version only]

let's go!!
we're only gonna die from our own arrogance
that's why we might as well take our time
Don't Push
stolen from an Africa land
chased out with a knife
with a face like Bob Marley
and a mouth like a motorbike
oh well, the bars are always open
and the time is always right
and if God's good word goes unspoken
the music goes all night
and it goes
if I were Bob Marley I'd said "could you be loved"
and if I was Half Pint I would ball lord up above
if I was Mike Tyson I would look for a fight
if I was a Boomtown Rat I would be stayin' up all night
if I was the King Ad-Rock I would get stupid dumb
and if rhymes were Valiums I'd be comfortably numb
if I had a shotgun
you know what I'd do?
I'd point that shit straight at the sky
and shoot heaven on down for you
because the bars are always open
and the time is always right
and if God's good word goes unspoken
the music goes all night
and it goes...
I want a lover but I can't find the time
I want a reason but can't find a rhyme
and I want to start some static but I can't afford
to get slammed to the ground like I fall off my skateboard
hey
now a days as clear as you please
get strapped with protection or strapped with disease
laughter, it's free
anytime just, call me
439-O116
when you're down with Sublime

(you get 'nuff lyrics)
stolen from an Africa land
I was chased out of the bar
hmmm

don't push me too far
I'm gonna run come down with the new lyrics
get hit, get hip don't slip
you knuckle heads
racism is scism on a serious tip
you don't believe me then I go an' bust your lip
higher the mountain, it hard to climb
rougher the rhythm, man it must be Sublime

(sung at same time)

5446/Ball and Chain
do you believe I would take such a thing with me
and give it to a police man
I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that
if I did that would you say sir
come down and put the charge on me
I wouldn't do that oohhh I wouldn't do that
I'm not a fool to hurt myself
but I was innocent to what they done to me
they were wrong they were wrong
give it to me one time ohh give it to me, yeah!
give it to me two times
give it to me three times
give it to me four times
oh 5446 was my number, was my number now
right now somebody else has that number
one more time -
5447 was my number, was my number now
right now somebody else has that number
ohh
si-boops-deh, one go with him up, yes!
si-boops-deh, want keep him, keep him in the mix, sing!
si-boops-deh, me want go take off that dress, huh?
si-boops-deh, I've kissed and caressed
'cuz we're chillin' and we're chillin' into the club all night
we're chillin' and we're chillin' into the club all night
'cuz hear the dub, hear the beat, in the dog pound DJ
lord have his grilled cheese
some jealous punk snuck up around my back
tried to take the lovin' over me
lord I got into a fist fight
and wound up in jail all night
give it to me one time ohh yes, ooh my pussy
give it to me two time
give it to me three time
give it to me four time
[start Ball and Chain]
people listen up don't stand too near
I've got somethin' that you all should hear
all lies, all the lies told to me
form a little part of history
I was always taught that boy meets girl
fall in love get married and forget the world
nine months later the sweet baby's on the way
kiss him on the cheek and life's okay
I don't feel no pain
I don't have no time
to listen to conflicting points of view, oh
it's a crazy world to live alone
a ball and chain I call my own
a-ba-na-na-na-na, whooo
people listen up don't stand too close
I've got somethin' that you all should know
holy matrimony is not for me
I'd rather die alone in misery
because I was always taught boy meets girl
fall in love get married and forget the world
nine months later sweet baby's on the way
isn't that what they used to say
with a girl you knew
and the bonds that we grew
turned into a ball and chain
I step into the great unknown
and a ball and chain I call my home
a-ba-na-na-na-na, whooo
crazy world to live alone
with a girl that you knew
and the bonds that we grew
turned into a ball and chain, ohh
I step into the great unknown
and a ball and chain I call my own
because marriage doesn't work in the world today
it's an institution that is in decay
and if I have love I wish to portray
I will surly find another way
because I was always taught that boy meets girl
fall in love get married and forget the world
nine months later the sweet baby's on the way
kiss him on the cheek and life's okay
I don't feel no pain
I don't have no time
to listen to conflicting points of view, whoa
I step into the great unknown
with a ball and chain I call my own
a-ba-na-na-na-na, whoooo
Badfish
... I'm gonna find him man! ...
How's it goin' dude?
Hey man, what's up?
Tell Todd he can turn the radio back on
when you grab ahold of me
you tell me that I'll never be set free
but I'm a parasite
creep and crawl I step into the night
two pints of booze
tell me are you a badfish too?
(are you a badfish too?)
ain't got no money to spend
I hope the night will never end
lord knows I'm weak
won't somebody get get me off this reef?
baby you're a big blue whale
grab the reef when all duck divin' fails
I swim but I wish I never learned
the water's too polluted with germs
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
grab the reef underneath my bed
(underneath my bed)
ain't got no quarrels with God
ain't got no time to grow old
lord knows I'm weak
won't some-body get me off this reef?
I gotta go dude.
ain't got no quarrels with God
ain't got no time to get old
lord knows I'm weak
won't somebody get me off of this reef?
Let's Go Get Stoned
I swear sometimes you're taking me for granted
I swear, sometimes that you're a whore
I swear but i know there ain't no reason
'cuz everything is such a bore
last night I had a dream
lord it made me sick
saw you in your bedroom suckin' someone else's dick my goodness
my friends all laughed
said it was my fault
said it's time that it happened to me
but I know that the show
was much more than a blow
so I'm waiting for the tide to get low
waiting for the tide to get low
damn, now lick my balls
the rhythm, the rebel
the young heifer
the rhythm, the rebel
I said suck the mother fucker you're bitin' it, shit!
if I was an ant crawlin' upon the wall
tell me baby would it make no difference at all?
if I was a roach on a tree tell me would you smoke me?
bright lights put me in trance
but it ain't house music makes me wanna dance Word!
I don't gamble but I bet
I'm gonna die if I don't get a cigarette
just because I always play the mack
put the monkey on my back
Let's. go. get. sto-oned. [skunk version]
"There is is... Kick it!
New Thrash
I've got so much trouble on my mind
that it feels just like I'm always sleepin' with the enemy
but I know the real world always gets the last word and
that's why I gotta kick reality
so don't tease me, and try to say that I should care
might as well go out for mine 'cuz everybody's going out for theirs
(ain't no life nowhere)
so don't tell me about a fake drug war
cut education programs more
the people will one day learn and rise
'cuz not everyone is out to score
people always ask me why people are all fucked up -
at every corner there's a liquor store
peace
Scarlet Begonias
as I was walkin' down rubadub square
not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air
from another direction she was caught in my eye
it could be an illusion but I might as well try
might as well try
she had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes
and I knew without asking - she was into the blues
she wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls
I knew right away she was not like other girls
like other girls
well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong
as heaven works out the way it does in this song (hey)
'cuz once in awhile you get shown in the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right
it was the summer of love and I thank the stars above
because the woman took a lovin' over me
and just to gain her trust I bought a microbus
because I sold off all my personal property
a tight tie-dye dress she was a psychedelic mess
we toured to the north, south, east, and west
we sold some mushroom tea, we sold some ecstasy, we sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin, and PCP
and now I hear the police comin' after me
yes now I hear the police comin' after me
the one scarlet with the flowers in her hair she's got the police comin' after me
but there ain't nothin' wrong with the way she moves
all scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues
and there ain't nothin' wrong with the love that's in her eye
I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by
let it pass by
oh just let her pass by
Live at E's
yesterday I saw a whore
lookin' out for more
while she makes my body aches
when I walk in then I say
well uh-
I'm on the mic doin' uh-
the things you like and I'm uh-
Pleasy G and I'll uh-
treat you right
'cuz all the ladies and me
you see we both agree
that uh- I'm goin' down in world history
well yo-
whoa she makes my body ache
and you know I yearn for more
I won't flake or perpetrate
I won't front no funky ho
don't get me wrong I'm just
uh- singin' my song
I'm just like you
I like to ball my freaks all night long
not only do I rhyme
I also cut so nice
and all the fightin' perpetratin' DJs want my slice
cause I'm select
perpetratin' DJs, come and look for me
rock me rubadub rock and roll MC
so sweet and so nice
they call me delight
go go go go go go go
go Eric
think of somethin'
sing somethin'
my name is Eric I have nothing to say
cuz I'm not a fucking DJ
and if you wanna come talk to me
then you've gotta talk to my man Bradley
ha ha ha ah ah yeah
(rasta banter..)
uh- uh- elected
my rhyme's have been perfected
the fightin' MCs will be dissected and rejected
I am the most suppressive
aspective and progressive
motivating innovating chillin' and digested
it's obvious as ever
it will be specialized
if you're trying to prevent uh-
it can't be compromised
I am a fresh MC
as you can plainly see
you won't regret a DJ, a fresh MC you'll soon agree
so take a seat and feel the beat
of course it is okay uh- uh-
yes thats the RAS MG
yo! on judgement day
that's right we outta here
5000 G, 5000 G
we outta here, we outta here
peace
nothing but peace and unity...
alright
D.J.s
all of the DJs surely have taken a lesson
start talkin trash and I'll come with my smith and wesson
a little competition comes my way
and it always winds up the same
but the stone that the builder refused
shall be the head cornerstone
but there ain't nothin' wrong ain't nothin' right
and still I sit and lie awake all night
all of the DJs surely have taken a lesson
try talkin trash and I'll come with my Smith and Wesson
enough DJs come with enough, enough stylee
but when I bust my lyrics we all know it's wicked and wiley
ain't nothin' wrong ain't nothin' right
and still I sit and lie awake all night
oh, you better strapped with your gat if you wan' walk with me
I'm bound to come down with the new stylee
rockin' rubadub known as reggae music
gonna come down with the new lyrics
'cuz it just ain't no thing
oh I said its been a real long time
oh but there ain't nothin' wrong ain't nothin' right
and still I sit and lie awake all night
oh yea

I am the one DJ with enough flavor
it go-
here I go, hear my dub
heara the dubbed down DJ
lord have his grilled cheese
I mean ah,
I am Jamaican but I ain't no freak
I caught the man Eno with a ten pound bag of tweak
(ha ha ha)
hold on, though we call it ghost rider damn
every time we see them you fulfill the danger
ain't nothin' wrong ain't nothin' right
and still I sit and lie awake all night
oh, oh yea
dreddy got a job to do
and we might fulfill his mission
to see his pain would be his greatest ambition
but ah, we will survive in this world of competition
shooting guns and our ammunition
bo bo bo bo bo bo bo
go go go go go go go go go go go go
I won't wait so long
I said
I won't wait so long for you
oh oh yeah
mmm mmm
ooh oh

mmm mmm
stop your messing around
ahahah ah
better think of your future
ahahah ah
time you straighten right out
ahahah ah
or you'll wind up in jail
Chica me Tipo
no me importa que se lleva, por que todo se quitara,
hay no puedo verlo, ni en pintura.
cuando empezemos, no me di yo cuenta,
de que luego tuviera que pagar
pero, si se cambie, me muera a acostarme con ti, con ti
no me propongo predicar, vive y dejar vivir
pero el amigo es un condon en el bolsillo
yo no soy medico, no soy chapusero,
solamente estoy pobre, y ya estoy tan solo,
pero si se cambie, ella seria la mia
para ser poseido en propiedad, en propiedad
translation:
it doesn't matter what you wear, because you're going to take it all off
I can't even stand to see your face, even if it's a painting
when we began, I did not realize
that afterwards I would have to pay
but if things change, I'm dying to lay down with you with you
I'm not trying to preach, live and let live
but a man's best friend is a condom in his pocket
I am not a doctor, I am not a lazy bum
I am only poor, and now I am so alone
but if things change, she will be mine,
to have as my property, property
I've got to get it on for you, oh what can I do?
I would lay down anytime with her, with her
Right Back
sleepin' by yourself at night can make you feel alone
your girlfriend said so, but I don't really know
that don't mean we fucked around
that night last week when you left town
was tweakin' by myself one night that's when I wrote this tune
didn't have no need for that bed in my hotel room
uh-huh, sometimes right now since I've left the pen
feels like I'm right back there again
sometimes I pray
waitin, waitin for some bright holiday (holiday)
so I bought myself a gun
and I'm right back, right back where I'm from
sleepin by yourself at night can make you feel alone
my girlfriend said so, she's a little ho
that don't mean I fuck around
I like to keep that higher ground
sometimes I pray
waiting waiting for some bright holiday
so I bought myself a gun
and I'm right back, right back where I'm from
oohhh don't tease me
ohhh don't tease me
don't tease me oh
sometimes I pray
waiting waiting for some bright holiday
so I bought myself a gun
now I'm right back right back where I'm from
What Happened?
three, four!
wake up in the morning
clock says half-past one
I have no sunglasses as I step into the sun
there's no recollection
of the evil things I've done
it feels like I must have had some fun
what happened?
last thing I remember
I was chillin' at a party
pinchin' girlie's asses
I was drinking recklessly
I know I did something
lord what could it be?
woke up in the morning
and all my friends hate me
what happened?
oh yeah, play it for them wonder
what am I doing here?
who is this girl in my bed?
what is this shit on my face?
my god, what is that awful smell?
she may be an angel
she may be a queen
she might be
Black, White, American, Indian or Japanese
what happened?
threw a bottle at the bouncer
didn't think that he was cool
pissed in someones drink
and threw a bike into a pool
drivin' down the side walk
like a drunkin' possessed fool
I broke every single traffic rule
oh, what happened?
what happened?
let's go!!!
she may be an angel
she may be a queen
she might be
Black, White, American, Indian or Japanese
New Song
I heard that payback's a mother fuckin bitch
but I won't stress and I won't switch
and I would not take my life
glory please have God
the only thing on my mind
it takes up all of my time
and I said oh-
running from a gun
or some brain that weighs a ton
oh my got it hurts to get so low
searching through the car
cold stone searchin' through the night
I think I would run to you
but I refuse to fuss and fight
and God may find the reason
well I'm sure you'll find the rhyme
because it takes up nearly all my time
P it stands for Freedom
god knows I've got the number
maybe I just use too much
I was sitting in a bar
now I'm sitting in that stolen car
cold stone rollin down the boulevard
thought you was clean
on the microphone scene
think I would run to you
but I know I won't fit for me
cuz I know Gods got the reason and the rhyme
and please tell me why it takes up all my time
I've been drinking just like you
and baby you got something I could use
paybacks a mother fucking blast
I won't stress and I won't blast
and I would not take my life
glory please have God
coming from heaven above
takes up all of my time
and I said
(guitar solo)
Why must I feel like that?
running from a gun
and some brain that weighs a ton
you know I bit that line from Flavor-Flav
but all the DJs do it
all the DJs use it
I would run I would switch
but I wanna be the same
and I know ill find a reason
'cause I always bust a rhyme
because it takes up nearly all my time
T it stands for treason
the D it stands for dub
and maybe I just use too
maybe I just used too
maybe I just use too much
Ebin

with a hit man assassin like a long strong arm
he went down to protect his country
eat Mexican food and make lots o' money
come back up north and drive a big white car
and take himself a plane down to Nicaragua
well it feels like I'm the only one to blame
oh Ebin you changed
Ebin, Ebin, Ebin, Ebin you oh you changed
oh you changed oh how you changed
I give you a hard time, didn't want to stay
got outta jail just the very next day
now it's plain to see, my friend Ebin is a Nazi
he was a Nazi, yeah, yeah, yeah
out my window cool and bright
day so slowly into night
funny how things look the same
now that my friend Ebin's changed
Date Rape
let me tell you about a girl I know
had a drink about a hour ago
sitting in a corner by herself
in a bar in downtown Hell
she heard a noise and she looked through the door
and saw a man she'd never seen before
light skin, light blue eyes, a double-chin and a plastic smile
well
her heart raced as he walked through the door
and took an empty seat next to her at the bar
"My brand new car is parked right outside,
how'd ya like to go for a ride?"
and she said,
"Wait a minute, I have to think."
he said, "That's fine, may I please buy you a drink?"
one drink turned into 3 or 4
and they left and got into his car
and they drove away someplace real far
"Now babe, the time has come.
How'd ya like to have a little fun?"
and she said,
"If we could only please be on our way
I would not run."
that's when things got out of control
she didn't want to, he had his way,
she said, "let's go" he said, "no way!"
"Come on babe it's your lucky day.
Shut your mouth, were gonna do it my way.
Come on baby don't be afraid,
if it wasn't for date rape I'd never get laid."
- - -
he finished up, he started the car
he turned around and drove back to the bar
he said, "Now baby don't be sad,
in my opinion you weren't half-bad."
she picked up a rock, threw it at the car,
hit him in the head, now he's got a big scar
come on party people won't you listen to me
date rape stylee!
the next day she went to her drawer
looked up her local attorney at law
went to the phone and filed a police report
and then she took the guy's ass to court
well
the day he stood in front of the judge he screamed,
"She lies, that little slut!"
the judge knew that he was full of shit
and he gave him 25 years
and now his heart is filled with tears
one night in jail it was getting late
he was butt-raped by a large inmate
and he screamed
but the guards paid no attention to his cries
that's when things got out of control
the moral of the date rape story-
it does not pay to be drunk and horny
but that's the way it had to be
they locked him up and threw away the key
well I can't take pity on men of this kind
even though he now takes it in the behind
but that's the way it had to be
they locked him up and threw away the key
well I can't take pity on men of this kind
even though he now takes it in the behind
date rape!
nananana nananana bananana lalalala
she didn't want to
she didn't want to
she didn't want to
she didn't want to, take it!

Rivers of Babylon
by the rivers of Babylon
where he sat down
and there he wept
when he remembered Zion
Alpha the wicked carried us away
captivity required from us a song (yeah)
how can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
so let the words of our mouths
and the meditation of our hearts
be acceptable in thy sight
over I
by the rivers of Babylon
where he sat down
and there he wept
when he remembered Zion
Alpha the wicked carried us away
captivity required from us a song
how can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
