Evil, I've come to tell you that she's evil, un-definately,

evil, ornery, scandalous and evil, definately.

The tension, is getting hotter, I'd like to hold her, head underwater, oh

oh, as the livin's easy, on the microphone with ras m.g.

In the dance it's agreed that we'll well qualify to represent the LBC.

(((microphone control... da da-da-da-da da...)))

Get Out! (remix)

[It's 8:05. This is Phillus 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, your cat, and your untruths with me.

I'm gonna call you tomarrow, when your home, and you can explain

some things to me 'cuz I'm tired of your bullshit. Goodnight.]

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've seen the flops in my house.

We were jumping on walls and kicking ceilings.

Now a days people listen to me, when I say.."GET OUT!"

[they're driving me fucking crazy over here chief,

I gotta get rid of these fruitcakes.]

Hold me and don't let go.

It don't make no difference that your a ho.

Cause I need a place to stay.

A new disease was just the price I paid.

In days of old that how it used to be, oh yes indeed.

That girl is dead to me now and I say ....

<<>>

So let the lovin take a hold over me,

Let the lovin take a hold over me.

(Long Beach Possie)

Cause all I see is your fussin' and fightin'

1992 so lets all start uniting.

Put your hands together be the best you can be,

Let this jam take us to 1993.

Stay positive and the love will come back to me.

But some jealous punk, snuck up around the back,

tried to take the lovin' over me.

Oh, I got into a fist fight and wound up in jail all night.

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 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.

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 look me in the eye.

Well I'm looking 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.

Don't Push

Stolen from an African land,

and 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,

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 lord up above

If I was Mike Tyson I'd 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

If rythmes were valiums I'd be comfortably numb

If I had a shotgun, know what I'd do,

I'd point it straight up 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, I can't find the time.

I want a reason, I can't find the rythme.

I want to start some static, but I can't afford,

to hit the ground like I fell off my skateboard, hey.

Now a days as clear as you please,

get straped with protection or straped with disease.

Laughter, it's free, any time just, call me.

438-4836 'cuz your down with Sublime you get

funky fresh lyrics, you get nuff lurics.

Stolen from an african land,

I was chased out of the bar.

And 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, don't slip you knuckle heads.

Racism is scism on a serious tip.

You don't believe me I go and bust your lip. Hey.

I hear the moutain, it hard to climb.

Rougher the rythm, then it must be Sublime.

Listen Bud Gaugh yea he's right on time.

Come listen Eric Wilson drop the funky bassline.

Base........Mmmmm.........Come in Bud.

Lord have his grilled cheese.

This the kinda rythem make you wanna explode.

Not like doin' coke and shooting, not like taking a load.

Beacause I'm one stylee, stand rough and rugged.

I keep my body strong, clean and ....

People wanna come up and they want tell me smokin crack cocaine better than sensi

Somthing sumthing sumthin.....

Slow Ride

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)

Saw Red

(Gwen)

Every day I love him a little bit more,

a litle bit more, a little bit more.

Every day I love him just a little bit more,

and he loves me the same.

(Brad)

Every day I love her a little bit more,

a little bit more, a little bit more,

Every day I love her just a little bit more,

and she loves me the same.

(both)

Baby if ya wanna get on, baby if ya wanna get off.

It makes no sence at all, I saw red. I saw red. I saw red.

One more secret lover that I shot dead.

(Brad)

Every day I wake up, just a little bit more,

feelin' like a dog in the yard because it's just how we are.

(Gwen)

And every day I wonder if it's over,

when I wake up I realize no it isn't, and break down the wall.

(Brad)

You say it's black but I just can't believe you.

(Gwen)

And if I say it's white say I'm just trying to decieve you.

(Brad)

And baby, I'm aware of the high and the low,

and I'll be waithing in the middle, but I just lack control.

(both)

Baby if ya wanna get low, baby if ya wanna get high.

It makes no sence at all, I saw red. I saw red.

One more secret lover that I shot dead.

(Brad)

Girls don't go crazy, girls don't go crazy, oh girls don't crazy when the

men use you.

(Gwen)

Women hold your men tight, if it makes you feel alright,

It's your own life.

Garbage Grove

[here they come now, you see that?

yep both of the crews

they look they gonna fight]

We took this trip to garden grove

It smelt like Lou in the van, oh yah

This ain't no funky reggae party $5 at the door

It gets so real sometimes, who wrote my rhyme

I got the microwave got the VCR

I got the duece-duece in the trunk of my car oh yah

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 God

All I can see I steal

My folks don't understand

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 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

Acting happy when I'm not

Finding roaches in the pot

All these things I do,

They're waiting for you.

April 29th 1992

[I don't know if you can, but can you get an order for Ons, that's O-N-S,

Junior Market, the address is 1934 East Aneheim, all the windows are

busted out, and it's like a free-for-all in here and uh the owner should

at least come down here and see if he can secure his business, if he wants

to...]

April 26th, 1992

There was a riot on the streets

Tell me where were you?

You were sittin' home watchin' your TV

While I was paticipating in some anarchy

First spot we hit it was the liqour store

I finally got all that 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 we hit, it was 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?

(Cuz' as long as I'm alive, I'ma live ill B)

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 much 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 their 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

But not for the white man

But if you look at the streets, it wasn't about Rodney King

It's this fucked-up situation and these fucked-up police

It's about comin' up and stayin' on top

And became 187 on a mother fuckin' cop

It's ain't in the paper, it's on the wall

National guard

Smoke from all around

[Any unit, any unit...]

(Homicide, never doing no time)

Give me my share, my share.

Gimme my share, I want it.

Gimme my share, I need it now, I need it now.

My share.

A wicked one who dosent wanna see me go.

Just gimme my share, I want it. Gimme my share.

But you don't want to give it to me,

you don't wanna see me go.

Gimme my share, I want it, Gimme my share.

But there is a wicked one.

[Units be advised of an attempt 211 to arrest now at 938 Temple, 9-3-8

Temple, many subjects with bats trying to get inside the CB's

house...they're trying to kill him]

Let it burn

Wanna let it burn, wanna let it burn

Wanna wanna let it burn

First you get a manager but what does he do

I'll be the first to tell you baby that I don't have a clue

We're gunna make a phony image for the MTV

Hear it on the radio say damn that's me

Whenever I get over on a 3 peice hog

Jesus and her mom are gonna break your arm

Put your ass in the john to be a superstar

I realize sometimes I feel old design

Oh your reknown position and you just can't hide

Ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff

All over the world you gotta take that trip

And then you never thought you'd see the day you'd act like this

Your rep is getting bigger than a B-52

And then it goes around the world before it gets back to you

Hey our love has started can you believe

Before your eyes this shit just come back to me

Oh my God I take a rest on the side

So long so long so long so long I'll see ya

Oh my God if I'd a let my own

I'd take it turn around and place it home

I realize sometimes I feel old design

Oh your reknown position and you just can't hide

Woah it's the position

Give it a bunch of mine and you just can't miss
