Waiting for My Ruca [2:20] lyrics

On the East side,
That's where I met my Ramona,
"I wanna go to a party,"
That's what she said,
"Lonely, that's what i've been,
Here's my telephone number call me"

And to a party, a house party,
Whole loop a people just rally 'round me
And love, she send a message of love

She said,
"I love up the way you move, I love the way you rap"
bo bo
Ramona please step back

40 Oz. To Freedom [3:02] lyrics

You got your hair permed,
you got your red dress on
screaming,
"That second gear was such a turn on!"
And the fog forming on my window
tells me that the morning's here
and you'll be gone before too long.
Who taught you those new tricks?
Damn! I shouldn't start that talk.
But life is one big question when
your staring at the clock.
And the answer's always waiting
at the liquor store.

Smoke Two Joints [2:53] lyrics

She was living in a single room with
three other individuals one of them was
a male and the other two,well The other two were females
god only knows what they were up to in there
and further more Susan I wouldn't be the least bit surprised
to learn that all four of them habitually smoked marajuana cigarettes.
Reefers!

i smoke two joints in the morning
i smoke two joints at night

We're Only Gonna Die for Our Own Arrogance [3:07] lyrics

Early man walked away as modern man took control

Their minds weren't all the same, to conquer was their goal

So he built his great empire and he slaughtered his own kind

He died a confused man killed himself with his own mind

Early man walked away as modern man took control

Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal

Don't Push [4:18] lyrics

Sublime
40 Oz. to Freedom (1992)
Don't Push

Stolen from an africa 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 the music goes all night

And it goes...
If i was Bob Marley I said could you be loved

54-46 That's My Number/Ball and Chain [5:17] lyrics

Do you believe I would take such a thing with me,
And give it to a police man?
I wouldn't do that, mmhmm
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, oohhh
I wouldn't do that

I'm not a fool to hurt myself,
But I was innocent to what they done to me.

They were wrong, they were wrong

Badfish [3:04] lyrics

(party in the background)
How's it goin dude?
Hey man, what's up?
Tell Todd he can turn the radio back on.

When you grab ahold of me
You tell me that I'll never be set free
But I'm a parasite
Creep and crawl I step into the night

Two pints of booze
Tell me are you a badfish too
(Are you a badfish too)
Ain't got no money to spend
I hope the night would never end

Lord knows I'm weak

Let's Go Get Stoned [3:32] lyrics

I swear sometimes your taking me for granted
I swear sometimes that your a whore
I swear but I know there ain't no reason
'Cause everything is such a bore

Last night I had a dream,
Though it made me sick,
Saw you in your bedroom
Suckin' 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

New Thrash [1:30] lyrics

I got so much trouble on my mind,
That It feels just like I'm always sleeping with the enemy
But I know the real world always gets the last word in
And that's why you gotta kick reality.
So don't tease me and try to say that I should care.
I might as well go out for mine
'cause everybody's going out for theirs.

So don't tell me about a fake drug war
Go cut education so much more

Scarlet Begonias [3:31] lyrics

As I was walkin' down rubadub square
not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air
from another direction she was callin' my eye
It could be an illusion but I might as well try
might as well try

she had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes
and I knew without asking she was into the blues
she wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls

Live at E's [3:08] lyrics

Yesterday I saw a whore,
Lookin' out for more
While she makes my body ache,
Still I walk in then I say

A Well, uh
I'm on the mic doin', uh
The things you like and I'm, uh
Ras M.G. and I'm, uh
Treat you right

'Cause all the ladies and me,
You see we both agree,
That, uh, I'm goin' down in world history, well yo

Whoa, she makes my body ache
And you know I live for more

D.J.S [3:18] lyrics

All of the DJs surely have taken a lesson
Start talkin' trash and I'll come with my Smith and Wesson

A little competition comes my way
Badaba
And it always winds up the same
But the stone that the builder refused
Shall be the head cornerstone
Oh, but there ain't nothin' wrong
Ain't nothin' right
And still I sit and lie awake all night
Oh

All of the DJs surely have taken a lesson

Chica Me Tipo [2:16] lyrics

No importa que que se lleva (It doesnt matter what you wear)
Porque todo se quitara, (Because you will take it all off)
Ay no puedo ver lo (but I can't look at you)
Ni el figura (Not even your figure)

Cuando empecemos, (When we started)
No me dio cuenta, (I didn't realize)
De que luego, Tuviera que pagar (That after, I would have to pay)
Pero, si se cambie(but, if things change)

Right Back [2:49] lyrics

Sleepin' by yourself at night can make you feel alone
Your girlfriend said so, but I don't really know
That don't mean, we fucked around
That night last week when you left town

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
A Uh huh, sometimes right now
Since I've left the pen
Feels like I'm right back there again

What Happened [3:27] lyrics

Three, four

Wake up in the morning
Clock says half past one
I have no sunglasses as I step into the sun

There's no recollection
Of the evil things I've done
Head feels like I must have had some fun

what happened?

Last thing I remember
I was chillin' at a party
Pinchin' girlie's asses
I was drinking recklessly

I know I did something
Lord what could it be?

New Song [3:14] lyrics

I heard that payback's a mother fuckin' bitch,
But I won't stress and I won't switch,
And I would not take my life

Glory please, my God
The only thing on my mind
Takes up all of my time

And I said, oh

Runnin' from a gun
Or some brain that weighs a ton
And my God, it hurts to get so low

Searchin' throgh the car
Cold, still searchin' through the night
I think I would run, to you

Ebin [3:32] lyrics

You can hear the fuckin' fleas crawlin on my nutz, haha

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 JVC, No JFA

Cooly was sportin' black tennis shoes
Dealing, he was looking for something to use

Date Rape [3:37] lyrics

Let me tell you about a girl I know,
had a drink about an hour ago
sittin in a corner by herself,
in a bar in downtown hell.

She heard a noise and she looked to the door
and saw a man she never seen before.
Light skin, light blue eyes,
a double chin and a plastic smile.
Well, her heart raced as he walked in the door
and took an empty seat next to her at the bar.

Hope [1:43] lyrics

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

KRS-One [2:23] lyrics

In school they never taught 'bout hamburgers or steak
Elijah Muhammed or the welfare state
But I know
And I know because of KRS-One
Yeah and I know
And I know because of KRS-One
Because he's droppin droppin droppin science droppin history
With a whole heap of style and intelligency
Yes, I know
And I know because of KRS-One
Yeah, and I know
I know because of KRS-One

My Ruca lyrics

On the eastside, that's where I met my ramona,
I wanna go to a party that's what she said
Lonely that's what I been,
Here's my telephone number call me
.and to a party a "house party"
Whole lotta people jus rally-roun-me and love,she send a message of love
she said I love up the way you move, I love the way you rap ,bopp bopp.
Ramona please step back

Get Out! lyrics

"It's 8:05, this is Phillis 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 going to call
you tomorrow, when your home, and you better explain a lot of things to me
because I'm sick and tired of your bull-shit. Good night."

5446 / Ball And Chain lyrics

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

Thanks Dub (Hidden Track 2) lyrics

Alright, before we get it started when we did smoke two joints
that was jack from the toys and that song rivers of Babylon
was written by Brent dowe and Trevor McNaughton. alright now,
crucial thanks out to the happolt, nowell, and wilson families for
their patience and support, we love ya'll.
to all the players who made this possible thank you very much!

Rivers Of Babylon lyrics

"Rivers of Babylon"

By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept when he remembered 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.

So let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight
O-verride

By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down

Krs-one lyrics

In school they never taught 'bout hamburgers or steak
Elijah Muhammed or the welfare state
But I know
And I know because of KRS-One
Yeah and I know
And I know because of KRS-One
Because he's droppin droppin droppin science droppin history
With a whole heap of style and intelligency
Yes, I know
And I know because of KRS-One
Yeah, and I know
I know because of KRS-One

Hope lyrics

How can you say, "You torture me"?
You're already thinkin' about someone else
When he comes home, you'll be in his arms and I'll be gone
But I know my day will come
I know someday, I'll be the only one

So now you wait for a spark,
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 know I'll be there
