1.40 Oz To Freedom

You got your hair permed,
You got your red dress on,
Screamin' that second gear was such a turn-on.

And the fog forming on my window
Tells me that the mornings 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 starin' at the clock.

...and the answers always waiting at the liqour store 40oz to
freedom
So i take that walk

And i know that
Ooohhh.... i'm not goin' back
Ohhh, not going back
Ohh, god knows, i'm not going back
Oooohhhh, not goin'

(hey man, anyone wanna make a run down to am/pm with me? it's
like quarter-to right
Now bro. shit, can you like, loan me like, a buck or two dude?
jai said he was gonna be
Here around 2:00 i havn't even seen him. just totally broke, man
owes me twenty
Bucks man. get over it, fuck, sorry! i'm not dealin' with that
fuckin chince no more.
Take those bottles back eric?)

And you look so fine
When you lie, it just don't show
But i know which way the wind blows

A 40oz to freedom is the only chance i have
To feel good even though i feel bad

And i know that
Ooohhh.... i'm not goin' back
Ohh, i'm not goin' back
Ohh, god knows, i'm not going back
Ohhh, i'm...not goin'

Ooohhh....i'm not goin' back
Ohh, i'm not goin' back
Ohh, god knows, i'm not going back
Ohhh, i'm...not goin'

I got a whole one left in the freezer


2.Badfish

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.
Won't somebody get get me off this reef?

Baby your a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck divin' fails
I swim, but i wish i never learned,
The water's too polluted with germs.
I dive deep when it's ten feet over head.
Grab the reef underneath my bed.
(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 this reef?

I gotta go dude


3.Date Rape

let me tell you about a girl i know,
Had a drink about a hour ago.
Sitting in a corner by herself, in a bar in downtown hell.

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!


4.Doin' Time

Summertime and the livin's easy,
And bradley's on the microphone w/ ras m.g.

That we're well qualified
To represent the lbc,
Me and louie,
Run to the party dance to the riddim it gets harder.

On lock down like a penetentury.

5.Pool Shark

They say in this song brad predicts his own death from heroin

Lying in my plasic bed,
Thinkin' how things were so cool to me
My baby likes to shoot pool
I like lying naked in my bedroom

Tying on the dinosaur
Tonight it used to be so cool

Now i've got the needle
And i can't bleed, but i can't breathe.
Take it away and i want more and more
One day i'm gonna lose the war

Lying in my plasic bed
Thinkin' how things were so cool to me
My baby likes to shoot pool
I like lying naked in my bedroom

Tying on the dinosaur
Tonight it used to be so cool

Now i've got the needle
And i can't shake
But i can't breathe

Take it away and but i want more and more
One day i'm gonna lose the war


6.Santeria

I don't practice santeria
I aint 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


7.Saw Red

Girls don't go crazy

Woman, hold your man tight

Every day i love him just a little bit more,
A little bit more, a little bit more
Everyday i love him just a little bit more
And he loves me the same

Every day i love her just a little bit more,
A little bit more, little bit more
Everyday i love her just a little bit more
And she loves me the same

Baby if you wanna get on

Oh baby if you wanna get off

It makes no sense at all

I saw red

I saw red, i saw red, one more sacred lover that

I shot dead

Everyday i wake up just a little bit more
Feelin' like a dog out on the yard
Because that's just how we are

Everyday i wonder if it's over
When i wake up realizin' that we hate
And brake down the war

You say it's black, but i can't believe you

And if you say it's white,
You say i'm tryin to deceive you

And i'm aware of the high and the low,
And i'd be waiting for you in the middle but i just lack control

Baby if you wanna get low

Oh baby if you wanna get high

It makes no sense at all

I saw red

I saw red, i saw red, one more sacred lover that

I shot dead

Girls, don't go crazy,
Girls, don't go crazy,
Oh girls, don't go crazy when the men use you, oh

Oh, woman hold your man tight
If it makes you feel right, it's your own life


8.Smoke Two Joints

(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 know what they were up to in there.
And furthermore susan, i wouldn't be the least bit surprised to
learn that all four of them
Habitually smoke marijuana cigarettes... reefers)

I smoke two joints in the morning.
I smoke two joints at night.
I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright
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

Smoked cigarettes 'til the day she died
Toke a big spliff of some good sensimillia
Smoked cigarettes 'til the day she died
Toke a big spliff of some good sensamill...'
'easy-e were ya ever caught slippin'?' 'hell no!'

Daddy he once told me 'son you be hard workin' man'
And momma she once told me 'son you do the best you can'
But, then one day i met a man who came to me and said
'hard work good, and hard work fine but first take care of head'

(guitar solo)

Whoa, rock me tonight,
Whoa-oh, jah sake,
Whoa-ohh


9.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


10.Wrong Way

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'll get laid
For your family get paid
It's the wrong way.

I gave her all that i had to give,
I'm gonna make it hard to live.
Salty tears running down her chin
And it ruins up her make up
I never wanted

A cigarette,
Pressed between her lips
While 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 are leaking like a silve,
And it still ruins her makeup
I never wanted
