GARDEN LOVE
We took this trip to garden grove.
It smelt like Lou-Dog inside the van.
Oh yeah, This ain't no funky reggae party,
Five dollars at the door.
It gets so real sometimes,
Who wrote my rhyme?
I've got the microwave, got the vcr.
I got the duece duece in the trunk of my car.
Oh yeah, If you only knew 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 dog.
All that I can see I steal.
I fill up my garage.
Cuz in my mind,
Music from Jamaica all the love that I found,
Pull over there's a reason why my soul's 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 up at the pound
Livin in a tweeker pad
Gettin yelled at by my Dad
Saying I'm happy when I'm not
Finding roaches in the pot
Oh, all these things I do.. They're waiting for you
WHAT I GOT
Early in the mornin',
risin' to the street,
Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet.
Got to find a reason,
reason things went wrong.
Got to find the 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 run over
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 and give it up to charity.
Lovin's what I got,
It's within my reach
(and the sublime style is still straight from Long Beach)
It all comes back to you you're bound to 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.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, and remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I got, I got
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 bottle and goes right to the rock.
Fuckin and fighting, it's all the same.
To live with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane.
Let the lovin',
let the lovin' come back to me
THE 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,
But 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 her lips
But 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,
It's the wrong way.
The only family that she's ever had
Is her 7 horny brothers
And her drunk-ass dad.
He needed money
So he put her on the street,
Everything was going fine until the day that she met me.
Happy are you sad,
Wanna shoot your dad
I'll do anything I can
The wrong way.
We talked all night and
Tried to make it right,
Believe me shit was tight,
It was the wrong way.
Don't run away if you wanna stay,
Cause I ain't here to make ya', oh no
It's up to you what you really wanna do
Spend some time in America, dub-style
She'll give you all that she got to give,
But I'm gonna make it hard to live.
Big salty tears rolling down to her chin
And it smears up her makeup
I never wanted
So we ran away
And I'm sorry when I say
That straight to this very day
It was the wrong way.
She took a hike,
Don't matter if I like it or not
Because she only wants
The wrong way.
I gave her all that I had to give,
But she still wouln't take it, oh no.
Her two brown eyes only get larger still,
And it still ruins her makeup
I never wanted
SAME IN THE END
Down in Mississippi where the sun beats down from the sky.
They give it up,
and they give it up,
and they give it up,
but they never ask why.
Daddy was a rollin',
rollin' stone, oh,
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.
ooh, In my mind,
and in my brain I roll it over like a steamin' freight train,
It ain't hard to ascertain.
You only see what you want to believe
when you light up 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
that I shut my mouth and put down my guitar.
Sunday morning hold church down at the bar.
Get down on your knees and start to pray,
oh, Pray my itchy rash will go away, ow!
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 am what you told me to be,
I'm a backward ass hillbilly,
I'm dick butkiss.
You know I lie,
I get mean,
I'm a thief in the dark,
I'm a raging machine.
I'm a triple rectified ass son of a bitch,
Rec-tite on my ass and it makes me itch.
I can see for miles and miles and miles, oh ..
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 I make you cry,
I might, be your daddy at the end of the night.
Take a load from my big gun.
You only see what you want to believe,
When you creep from the back I got tricks up my sleeve,
24/7 the devils best friend,
Makes no difference it's all the same in the end
APRIL 29, 1992
I don't know if you can,
but can you get an owner 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 my 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 that window drop.
Finally we got our own P.A.
Where do you think I got this guitar that you're hearing today?
Hey!
(call fire, responde mobile station.
alamidos in Anahiem,
its uhh flamin up good.
10-4 Alamidos in Anaheim)
Never doin' no time
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 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 thier 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,
and 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 these fucked up police.
It's about coming up and staying on top
and screamin' 187 on a mother fuckin' cop.
It's not written on the paper it's on the wall.
National guard??!
Smoke from all around,
bo! bo! bo!
(units, units be advised there is an attempt 211 to arrest now at 938 temple,

SANTERIA
I don't practice Santeria
I ain't got no crystal ball.
I had a million dollars but I'd,
I'd spend it all.
If I could find that heina and that sancho that she's found,
well I'd pop a cap in sancho and I'd slap her down.
What I really wanna know,
my baby, what I really want to say I can't define.
Well it's love,
that I need, oh ,
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,
feel the break,
feel the break and I got to live it up,
oh, yea huh, well I swear that I.
What I really wanna know, baby,
what I really want to say I can't define.
that love make it go,
my soul will have to...
What I really wanna say,
my baby,
What I really wanna say is I've got mine.
and I'll 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 stick that barrel straight down sancho's throat.
Believe me when I say that I got somethin for his punk ass.
What I really wanna know, my baby,
what I really wanna say is there's just one,
way back,
and I'll make it, yea,
but my soul will have to wait.
yea, yea, yea
SEED
Janie always said I was a mess,
I'm sorry bout that mess,
I made her bleed.
I'm planting my seed.
Still I knew she could take it
If I opened up the rhythm
I knew it could make it,
but I hope her parents love her, so.
Feelin the acid on the brain,
If 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 live it up, you get old,
But if you got to know my place,
And if you don't it smacks you in your face,
But, I know her parents love her,
and I hope her parents love her,
I hope her parents love her so...
Billyed back in 1983,

I made her bleed,
well I'm lovin',

I knew we could make it, but,
I only knew that the bitch would break it, yeah,
I hope her parents love her so,
my God look at me,
If he had to go I know
I'm barely lovin' my holy creed,
You never knew that was what you need,
Oh my god, honestly,

I, I hope her parents love her,
I hope her parents love her so...

WHAT I GOT (Reprise)
Early in the mornin'
Risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette
And I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason
Reason things went wrong.
Got to find the 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 run over or you might get shot.
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest.
Never start no static I just get it off my (chest).
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 within my reach
(And the sublime style is still straight from Long Beach)
It all comes back to you you're going to 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.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
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 bottle and goes right to the rock.
Fuckin and fighting, it's all the same.
To live with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane.
Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that.
