Damn I should'nt start that talk,

And the answers always waiting

so I'll take that walk.
And I know that ohhhh...I'm not

Ohh not going back
God knows not going back
You look so fine when you lie it

That I know which way the wind
blows
40 oz to freedom is the only chance
I have to feel good,
even though I feel bad
And I know that ohhhh...I'm not
comin back
Ohh not going back
God knows I'm not going back
God knows I'm not going back
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
Daddy he once told me,
"Son, you be hard workin' man"
And momma she once told me,
"Son, you do the best you can"
Then one day I meet a man,
He came to me and said,
"Hard work good and hard work fine,
but first take care of head"
Whoa rock me to the night
Ja say
Were only gonna die for our own
arrragence,
so we might as well take our time.
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

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
I hear the rythm and 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

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

You're pumpin' that shit and I'm
sick of it
Teakin' every weekend we just can't
take it (WORD)
5446 that's my number/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, no I wouldn't
do that.
I'm not a fool to hurt myself,
but I listened what they done to me,
they were wrong, they were wrong.
Give it to me, one time, Give it to me, two times,, Give it to me, three times,,, Give it to me: four times,,,,
Oh 5446 what's my number? what's
my number now?
Right now somebody else has that
number.
One more time 5447 what's my number?
what's my number now? Right now somebody else has that number.
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
Baby your a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck diving
fails
I swim but wish I nevered learned
The water's too polluted with germs
I dive deep when it's ten feet
overhead
Grab the reef 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 somebody get me off of this
reef
Ain't got no quarrels with God Ain't
got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this
reef
Last night I had a dream, though
it made me sick
Saw you in your bedroom sucking
someone elses 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 low
So I'm waiting for the tide to
get low
If I was an ant liven upon the wall
tell me baby would it make any
difference at all
If I was a roach on a tree tell
me would you smoke me?
Bright lights put me in a trance
But it ain't house music, makes
me want to dance. (WORD)
I don't gamble but I bet,
I'm gonna die by my last cigarette
Hold me close I always play the
mack
with this monkey on my back.
So don't tell me about a fake drug
war
Go cut education some more
The people will one day learn and
rise
Cause not everyone is out to score.
People always ask me why people
are all fucked up
At every corner liquor store.
She had rings on her fingers and
bells on her shoes
And I could tell 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
Well I ain't never been right as
I ain't never been wrong
As everthing works out the way
it does in this song
Cause once in a while you get shown
in the light
In the strangest of places if you
look at it right
(rap) She was the summer of love
and I thank the lord above
Because the women took the lovin
over me
And just to gain her trust, I bought
a microbus
Because I sold off my personal
property
A tie-dyed dress , she was a psychadelic
mess
We toured to the north, south,
east and west
We sold some mushroom tea,
Sold some ectacy,
Sold nitrus, opium, acid, herion
and PCP
Now I hear the police coming after
me
Now I hear the police coming after
me
The one scarlet with the flowers
in her hair,
She's got the police coming after
me
Well there ain't nothing wrong with
the way she moves
All scarlet begoinas and a touch
of the blues
And there ain't nothin wrong with
the love that's in her eyes
I had to learn the hard way just
to let her pass bye.
uh-uh elected, my rhymes will be
perfected.
the mighty MC's will be disected
and rejected
I am the most impressive- aspective
and progressive-
motivating, inovating, chillin
and digested
Its obvious as ever it will be
specialized
Your trying to proclaim-uh- cant
be compromized
I am a fresh MC
As you can plainly see
You won't regret a DJ fresh Im
sure you'll soon agree
So take a seat n' feel the beat
of coarse it is OK, Uh-Uh
Oh she makes my body ache and you
know I paid for more
I won't flake or perpetrate, I
won't front no funky whore
Don't get me wrong I'm just singing
my song
I'm just like you I like to ball
my freaks all night long
Not only do I rythme I also cut
so nice they call me delight
My name is eric I have nothing to
say
because I am not a fucking d.j.
And if you want to talk to me,
then you'll have to talk to my man Bradlee
5000 G, we outta here, peace, unity.
Ain't nothin wrong, ain't nothing
right
But still I set and lie awake all
night
All of the d.j.s surely have taken
a lesson
Try talkin trash and we'll come
with a smith & wesson
Enough d.j.s come with enough style
but when I bus my lyrics we all
Know it's wicked-wily.
Ain't nothin wrong, ain't nothing
right
But still I set and lie awake all
night
You better strap with the gat
If you wanna walk with me, bound
to come down
With the new stylee, rockin rubadub
know as reagee music
Gotta come down with some new lyrics
It just ain't nothing, it's been
a real long time
Ain't nothin wrong, ain't nothing
right
But still I set and lie awake all
night
Rubadub blender a new mixer
I am the one with d.j. with enough
flavor
Hear the dub and say lord have
his grilled cheese.
I ain't jamican, but I ain't no
freak
Caught the man eno with the one
pound bag o' tweak
And called him ghost rider everytime
you see him he fulfill the danger
Ain't nothin wrong, ain't nothing
right
But still I set and lie awake all
night
Dred gotta a job to do and he might
fulfill his mission
To see his pain would be his greatest
ambition
We will survive in this world of
competition
To make sure that till the ..is
done
I won't wait so long
For you
Stop your messin around,
Better think of your future
Time to straighten right out or
you'll wind up in jail
Chorus
Cuando empezemos, (When we started)
No lo dia cuento, (I didn't notice)
De que luego, Tu viera que pagar
(That after, You would have to pay)
Pero, tuviste tambien (but, you
did it anyways)
Me muero acostame con ti, (I die
to lay down with you)
Con ti. (with you)
No me propongo deriacad, (I dont
plan to dedicate)
Vive en vejar vivir, (Live and
let live)
Pero el amigo (But the friend)
Tienes un condon en el bolsio,
(Has a condom in his pocket)
Yo no soy medico, (I'm not a doctor)
No soy chapusero, (I'm not a joker)
Solamente soy pobre, y ya estoy
tan solo (I'm just poor, and now im so alone)
Pero si se camia, ella seria mia
(But if i change, she would be mine)
Para ser poseido en propeidad,
(To be possesed in property)
En propeidad. (In property)
I 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
Sometimes right now since I've
left the pen
I feel like I'm right back in it
again
Sometimes I play, waiting waiting
for some bright holiday
So I got 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 play, waiting waiting
for some bright holiday
So I got myself a gun and I'm right
back right back where I'm from
Don't tease me, don't tease me,
don't tease
Sometimes I play, waiting waiting
for some bright holiday
So I got myself a gun and I'm right
back right back where I'm from
There's no recollection
of the evil things I've done
My head feels like I musta' had
some fun
What happened?
Last thing I remember
I was chillin at a party
Pinching grily'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 say me
What happened?
What I'm I doing here
Who is this girl in my bed
What is this shit on my face
My God, what is that awful smell
(Chorus)
She may be an angel
She may be a queen
She might be black, white, Amercian,
Indian or Japanese
Thru a bottle at a bouncer
Didn't think that he was cool
Pissed in someones drink
And thru a bike into a pool
Driven down the side walk
Like a crazy possed fool
I broke every single traffic rule.
What happened?
What happened?
Let's go
(Chorus)
Running from a gun
Or some brain that ways a ton
And my God, it hurts to get so
low
Searchin' through the cars
Cold, still searchin' through the
night
I think I will run, to you, but
I refuse to fuss and fight
And God may find a reason
Well I'm sure you'll find a rhyme
Because it takes up nearly all
my time
He who stands for freedom
God knows I've got the number
But maybe I just use too much
I was sitting in that bar
I'm sittin' in that stolen car
Cold, still rollin' down the boulevard
Saw you with a gleam
And the microphone scene
'Think I will run, to you
But I know I won't live for me
Cause I know God's got both, the
reason and the rhyme
Please tell me, why he takes up
all my time
I've been drinking, just like you
And baby, you've got something
I can use
Payback's a mother fuckin' blast
But I won't stress and I won't
blast
And I would not take my life
Glory please, my God, comin' from
heaven above
Takes up all of my time
And I said
"Why must I feel like that"
Running from a gun
And some brain that ways a ton
You know, I did that line for Flava'
Flave
But, all the D.J.'s do it
All the D.J.'s use it
I would run, I would switch
But I wanna be the same
And I know I'll find a reason
'Cause I always bust a rhyme
Because it takes up nearly all
my time
The "T" hear stands for treason
The "D" hear stands for dove
And maybe I just use too,
Maybe I'm just used too much.
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
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 drove 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 will 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 and 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 his 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,
look up her local attorney at law,
went to the phone and filed the
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 hearted is filled with
tears.
That 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 his kind,
even though he now takes it in
the behind.
DATE RAPE
She didn't want to TAKE IT!
So now you wait for a spark, you
now it will turn you on.
He's gonna make you feel the way
you want to feel.
When he starts to lie, when he
makes you cry you'll now I'll be there.
My day will come , I know someday
I'll be the only one.
Call me selfish, call it what you
like I think it's right.
To want someone for all your own
and not to share their love.
But I'll have my way.
You don't stand a chance anyway.
Cause I got to you, you don't stand
a chance.
So now you wait for his cock, you
know it will turn you on.
He's gonna make you feel the way
you want to feel.
When he starts to lie, when he
makes you cry you'll now I'll be there.
My day will come, I know someday
I'll be the only one.
My day will come, I know someday
I'll be the only one.
You say you want perfection, that's
your self-destruction.
You don't know what you want, it's
gonna take you a year to find out.
I am not givin up.
And when you've had enough, you
take your bruised little head
and you'll come running back to
me
I know that I will be the only
one.
Because he's droppin', dropin',
dropin' science, droppin history
With a whole leap of style and
intelligency
Yes, I know.
I know because of KRS-ONE.
Yeah, and I know
And I know.
Because we don't want to pay money
to hear the same old sounds.
Watch him, he'll take hip-hop to
a higher ground.
And I know
How do I know?
And I know because,
And I know
And I know because of KRS-ONE.
And I know
And I know
Oh from wicked, carry us away from
captivity
Required from us a song
How can we singing out for song
in a strange land.
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight
O-verride
By the rivers of Babylyon
Where he sat down
And there he wept when he remebered
Zion.
Oh from wicked, carry us away from
captivity
Required from us a song
How can we singing out for song
in a strange land.
How can we singing out for song
in a strange land.
