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
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 you fuck around
with my dog
All I can see I steal as I fill
up my garage
But 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 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.

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 the money's
all gone
But I got a dalmation and I can
still get high
I can play the guitar like a mofo
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
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 that botte and goes back to
the rock
Fuckin and fighting it's all the
same
Livin' with loui dog's the only
way to stay sane
Let the lovin come back to me
up to top
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
When 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
The only family she ever had
Was her 7 older brothers and her
drunk-ass dad
He needed $ so he put her on the
street
Everything was going fine till
the day that she met me
Happy are you sad, wanna shot your
dad
I'll do anything i can it's the
wrong way
We talked all night and tried to
make it right
Believe me shit was tight
It's the wrong way
So run away if you don't wanna
stay
Cause I ain't here to make you
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
it I like it or not
Cause she only wants the wrong
way
up to top
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's 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 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 my 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 me an I'm a thief in the
dark
I'm a rain machine I'm a triple
rectified ass s.o.b
Rec-tite(tm) 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 ain't me
If I make you cry I might be your
daddy at the end of the night
Take a loadfrom my big gun
You only see what you want to believe
When you creep from the back
You got tricks up my sleeve
24/7 the devils my best friend
Makes no difference it's all the
same in the end
up to top
April 29, 1992
April 29th, 1992 there was a riot on
the streets
Tell me where were 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
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' romm's
been more comfortable
Cause everybody in the hood has
had it up to here
It's getting harder and harder
every year
Some kids went in a store with
thier mother
When she came out she was gettin
some pampers
They said it was for the black
man
They said it was for the mexican
But 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 fuckin police
It's about coming up and staying
on top or screamin' 187 on a mofo cop
It's not written on the papers,
but its written on the wall
National guard smoke from all around
up to top
Santeria
I don't practice santeria got no crystal
ball
I had a million dollars but I'd
spend it all
I could find that heina and that
sancho that she's found
I'd pop a cap in sancho and I'd
smack her down
All I really wanna say
I can't say it's love 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 out
I swear that I really wanna know
All I really wanna say is I got
mine and I 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 put
that barrel straight down sancho's
throat
Believe me when I say that I got
somethin for his punk ass
What I really wanna say is there's
just one way back
And I'll make it but my soul will
have to wait
up to top
Seed
Janie always said I was a mess
Sorry bout that mess
I made her bleed
I'm planting my seed
Still I knew it could take it if
I opened up the rhythm
I knew it could make it
I hope her parents love her
So feelin the acid on the brain
Still 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 get old believe me when I say
It's the same shit everyday
But I got to know my place
And if you don't it smacks you
in your face
I know I know her parents love
her
So billyed back in 1983 what did
you do for me
I made her bleed
I'm planting my seed
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 know 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.

Jailhouse
Jailhouse gets empty
Rudy gets plenty
Baton stick gets shorter
Rudy gets taller
Can't fight against the youth
Cause we're strong
Them are rude rude people
Can't fight against the resistance
up to top
Pawn Shop
Down there at the pawn shop
It's a nifty place to shop
What has been sold is not strickly
made of stone
Please remeber its flesh and bone
up to top
Paddle Out
I never thought that when I grew up
I would be in a band
And travel all the best spots in
the land
I'm not here to brag or boast
I'm here to tell you about the
spots I love the most
Natural bridges on a clean west
swell
Breaks over the reef like a bat
out of hell
Stockton ave gets hollow and mean
And on a big day it works i

Burittos
I don't wanna go and party
I don't wanna shoot the pier
I don't wanna take the doggie out
for a walk

go and wrench on the car
I don't wanna go and hose the dogshit
