Intro/Fighting Blindly

Intro:  
This is about the drunkest I've ever been.   Can't get
nothing to work.  But, I think I am going to play one of my favorite
songs.  Well, I'm gonna wait for the duct tape, but it goes like this.

Fighting blindly:  
Hey hey hey hey.  Ahhhhhhhhhhh.  
Why must we fight against each other?  
Why must we lie around vain?
Do we truly need our brothers?

Romeo

I have a secret place inside my mind, 
where I keep hidden inspiration you will find. 
And when my petty anger goes to my head, 
you'll find I'm better off dead. 
Oh, and I don't hold the key, 
to find out what is killing me, its,
been so long but somehow i just still care,

I am a Romeo, am a Romeo, with no place to go

Sometimes I think you hate me, hang up the phone, 
but take a closer look, this hate I feel is my own. 
So many times I've loved you, more than myself,
it's time to take that love and put it on the shelf.
Oh, and when I hold you tight, 
it makes me want to scream and fight. 
Love turned to hate, 
some how it's just, how it's just, 
how it's just to late.

I am a Romeo, am a Romeo with no place to go 

Rock the reggae music, cuz it sounds so fine, right! 
When I hold you tight, in my arms you are mine, 
but in the morning when I wake up and I still feel the same, 
I know something goin on and I know who's to blame. 
Everytime I tell you I'm the real Romeo, 
it fills my soul and heart with anger, pain, and sorrow. 
Cuz' somthings going on and I think you should know, 
so listen to my rhyme, cuz this is how it goes:

In a tight mini short in a short mini skirt, 
it feels so wrong and it feels so right. 
the more I think about it your a pain in the ass, 
I told you many times, this time it's gonna last. 
Want the kind of woman who can make me feel right,
not sloppy drunk sex on a Saturday night. cuz,

I am a Romeo, am a Romeo with no place to go

Pull up your honey if you gotta one see, 
because your down with the style, cuz your down with me. oh, 
rig the selector when your on the mixer, 
along with Peter Mitchell upon the echo chamber. Two, one, 
no they must see but no, they can't test me. 
Two, three of them come and say you cant test me.
Because me rock the reggae music in a different stylee. 
Me rock the kinda reggae music right on time, because your down with the
band that they call Sublime, right?

Don't take it too slow, don't take me wrong, 
me know which way to go, me, me, me, me alright, 
me rock the reggae music day and all night.

Makes you wanna explode,
makes me wanna explode,
makes me wanna explode,
makes you wanna explode,
sometimes it makes you wanna explode.

Ebin

Out my window cool and bright
Fade so slowly into night
Funny how things look the same
Now that my friend Ebin's changed

Ebin was a cooly that I used to know
Now he's down with the PLO
He's cold kickin it live with the KKK
No xxx, No JFA

Cooly was sportin' black denium shoes
Dealing he was looking for something to use
With a pistol in his pocket and a bottle of boose
Well, it could be me or it could be you
Oh feels like my whole life is rearragned

Oh Ebin you changed
Ebin, Ebin, Ebin, Ebin you...
Oh how 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
It's plain to see my friend Ebin is a Nazi
He was a Nazi yeah, yeah, yeah

Hooked on crack just the other day
Now he's down with the CIA
We got covert operation in Vietnam
Making hits and assaination he's long gone

He went down to protect his country
Eat Mexican food and makes lots o' money
Come back a God 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
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

New Realization

The time has come, to reach a new realization 'tween me and you, 
time to clear the rumors, sensations, and things that just are untrue.

Well I thought I heard you behind me, 
with a knife stright for my back.
It's quite clear that I'm back in the swing of living, 
although I might not be on the right track.

Oh, thought I might drown but its hard to be givin'. 
Downtown's wheres you'll find me, do some and got a hand. 
Although I never listen girl, I damn well understand. 
And you think, I'm so damn feeble. 
I can't see through your lies, you'r just a crock of shit, 
with a pretty smile, and I refuse to compromise.
 
Oh, don't give me such a heavy, heavy, heavy load 

You may hold some vision of truth, if truth can found in a lie. 
Maybe some grain of inspiration, for song thats deep inside. 

Oh, tears running down your face, 
just screaming lick me in the eye. 
Well I'm licking straight at your twisted face, 
and it's enough to make me cry.

Oh, I payed the price of loving you, 
in more ways than one. 
Wrapped around your finger but I think my time has come,
but I never can be too sure cuz I like to have a little fun.

Oh, what fun it would be to blow my mind and fall into the sun. 

A mind is a precious thing to taste.

Roots of Creation

Don't Push

Stolen from an african land 
Chased out with a knife
With a face like Bob Marley and a mouth like a motor bike
Oh well the bars are always open and the time is always right
And if God's good word goes unspoken well the music goes all night

And it goes...
If i was Bob Marley I said could you be loved
If I was half pint I'd ball the lord up above
If I was Mike Tyson I'd look for a fight
If I was a BoomtownRats I would be stayin up all night
IF I was the king Ad-Rock i would get stupid dumb
If rythmes were valiums I'd be comfortably numb

If I had a shotgun, know what I'd do,
I'd point that shit straight up at the sky
and shoot heaven on down to you
Oh well the bars are always open, and the time is always right
And if God's good word goes unspoken, well the music goes all night

I want a lover, I can't find the time 
I want a reason, I can't find the rythmec
I want to start some static, but I can't afford,
to hit the ground like I fell off my skateboard
Now a days as clear as you please, strap with protection or strap with
disease.
Laughter, it's free any time just call me
439-0116 when your down with Sublime you get
funky fresh lyrics, you get nothin

Stolen from an african land
Got chased out of the bar
I saw (Ice is) my best friend tonite so don't push me too far

I gonna run come down with the new lyrics,
get hit get hip you knuckle heads
Racism is scism on a serious tip
You don't believe me I go and bust your lip.
I hear the moutain, it hard to climb
Rougher the rythm, then it must be sublime
Listen yellow lover you got it right on time
We got cricket with the quickness and the bassline

Go and raid the sound and tell people the news oh, hey
tell them regaee music is on the loose
Here i am from the place where the sun shine down in a unique fashion
Good good vibes that keep on playin, playin

People gonna come and try tell me smokin crack cocaine better than sensi
You're pumpin' that shit and I'm sick of it 
Teakin' every weekend we just can't take it

Ball and Chain

People listen up don't stand to near 
I got something that you all should hear. 
All lies, all the lies she told to me 
make a litte 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 babys on the way. 
Kiss 'em on the check and lifes ok. 
I don't feel, no pain. I don't have, no time 
to listen to conflicting points of view. 
It's a crazy world to live alone, 
a ball and chain I call my own 

People listen up don't stand to close 
I got something that you all should know 
Holy Matrimony is not for me. 
Rather die alone in misery. 
I was always taught that boy meets girl, 
fall in love get married and forget the world. 
Nine months later, the sweet babys on the way. 
Isn't that what they used to say? 
With a girl that you knew, 
and the bonds that we grew. 
Turned into a ball and chain. 
I step into the great unknown, 
a ball and chain I call my own.
Crazy world to live alone 

With a girl that you knew, 
and the bonds that we grew, 
turned into a ball and chain. 
I step into the great unknown, 
with a ball and chain I call my own. 
Because marriage doesn't work in the world today 
It's an instiution that is in decay. 
And if I have love I wish to portray, 
I will surely find another way. 

Because I was always taught boy meets girl, 
fall in love get married and forget the world. 
Nine months later the sweet babys on the way, 
Kiss 'em on the check and lifes ok. 
I don't feel no pain, I don't have no time 
to listen to conflicting points of view 
I step into the great unknown, 
with a ball and chain I call my own

Slowride

She takes her time when it's time to get ready.
Always has her way.
Always leaves me waiting by the phone.
She told me more than once to take it slow,
and I said OK.
But lately i've been sleeping all alone.

I'm not breaking up inside, 
I'm much to proud to moan.
Baby please come home.

I feel a little lucky so I try to play it cool.
I think she laughs inside.
With the words that burn like fire in my mouth.
Try to be a man like i got the master plan, night out on the town.
Drink and dance and we can turn it out.

Whoa, Maybe it's how your body moves I just don't know,
Maybe it's just the way you move so slow.

(Phone Dialing)

[Hello?]
[Hi it's me]
[I thought I told you not to call me here]
[I know I just really needed to talk to you]
[Get a clue babe, there's nothing to talk about.]

(Click!)

Ask me why I play myself play myself for a fool.
Swear I would do most anything.
Walk a mile to see her smile.
Walk a mile just to rock for a while.
Babe I'm thinking with my ding-a-ling.

Whoa, I've been doing some thinking,
now I just don't know.
Maybe just the way you move so slow.
Maybe cuz you move so slow.
Maybe cuz you move so slow.

But sitting on the verge of tears does not become my 22 years.
You took my shame, and you took my pride,
and now you gonna take me for a slow ride.

but uh, uh. Waiting, waiting on the phone.
Got the words that burn like fire in my mouth.
Come on down reggae style,
wind up your body like a bass line wild,
drink and dance and we can turn it out.

Whooooaaaa, I'm not going crazy but I just dont know,

Maybe cuz you move so slow. (x3)

Like love,
move nice and low.

Slowride! (x3)

Had A Dat

Raging and Swirling,
getting inside,
I feel Like I'm going to Break!

Bright sun sinking low,
I never feel afraid to let emotions show.
Well I did.
Now take a look at me,
I had a close brush before your destiny.

Before I end, and you'll be victims of
my stories, tales, lies, and exaggerations.
I'm gonna
When your living life like a show
you gotta
take a bow to the people you know

I said lie, for me
lying under a process tree
oh engrossing in my brain
feeling like I'm going a little insane.

a little close inside
feels like I'm going Insane!

Red Lights
are
sinking low

I grab another beer cuz it's time to go...

I feel my head burst, I head out to your car
And I pray to Jesus Christ, but you won't get too far

I say uh, headlights and uh second gear
I run the road of like and skip the things you fear 
I said that you might, that you might find a better way
to justify- the evil things that you say

Ah, help me please, ah help me please
because I'm going up on my knees

I said, I said
going down to my knees
I pray to the Lord up above!

Help me,
I'm falling down
feeling now the cold, cold, cold, hard ground

haunting faces, and moving lines
slumber party for tonight

Pound it hard, your gonna pound it again 
but please just do not pump up my friend
cuz it seems alright, gonna push him around
but I can't be taken for no clown.

Because,
when I am on the ground I Cry!

wowowowowowo.. Don't Stop

oh, cool and eazy
oh no
cool and easy
to the sweet reggae music
oh no
feels alright to sweet reggae music
feels alright

What I Got (demo)

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, 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, take a tip from me 
Take all of your money, give it all to charity
Love is what I got
It's within my reach
And the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you, you'll finally 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'll feel it when the dance gets hot

[CHORUS]

(That's) 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 the bottle and goes right to the rock
Fuckin' and fightin', it's all the same
Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane
Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me
