Waiting For My Ruca
Waiting for My Ruca
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 par-ty"
Whole lotta people just 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, BOP BOP.
Ramona please step back
Now she's my ruca, I'm barely waiting for my heina
She moved from Long Beach down to LA
Right now she selling oranges by the freeway
I wanna know, Ramona am I the only one tell me
and she said "Your not the only one, but your the best Bradley", BOP BOP.
And know now I'm waiting for my ruca and I barely pulled up with my heina
I know tonight I'll be behind her, don't fuck around with my heina.
40oz. To Freedom
40oz. to Freedom
You've got your hair permed
You've 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 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 starin at the clock
And the answers always waiting at the liquor store, 40oz. to Freedom,
so I take that walk.
And I know that ohhhh...I'm not goin back
Oh not going back
God knows not going back
Oh not goin
(babble)
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 ohhhh...I'm not goin back
Oh I'm not going back
Oh God knows I'm not going back
Oh not goin
Whoa I'm not goin back
Oh not goin back
Whoa God knows I'm not goin back
(There's like a whole one left in the freezer)
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 knows 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 smoked 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 all right
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 till the day she died)
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,
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 Whoa
We're Only Gonna Die For Our Arrogance
Early man walked away
As modern man took control
There mind's weren't all the same
(And) To conquer was their goal
So he built his great empire
And he slaughtered his own kind
(And) He died a confused man
(He) Killed himself in his own mind
(repeat) x 4
Let's Go!
Were only gonna die from our own arrogance,
That's why we might as well take our time.
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
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 Boomtown Rats I would be stayin up all night
IF I was the king Ad-Rock i would get stupid dumb
If rhymes were valiums I'd be comfortably numb
If I had a shotgun, you know what I'd do,
I'd point that shit straight 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 rhyme
And I want to start some static, but I can't afford,
Just lay on 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 you get
funky fresh lyrics, you get nothin
Stolen from an africa land
Got chased out of the bar
I saw my best friend tonight so don't push me too far
I'm gonna run come down with the new lyrics,
get hit get hip don't slip you knuckle heads
Racism is schism on a serious tip
You don't believe me that I won't bust your lip.
I hear the mountain, It hard to climb
Ruffle the rhythm and it must be sublime
Listen yellow lover yeah it right on time
We got cricket with the quickness and the bass line
Go and raid the sound and tell the people the news oh, hey
tell them reggae music is on the loose
Here i am from the place where the sun keeps shine new style in a unique fashion
And good good vibes that keep on playin, playin
People wanna come up and they wanna tell me smokin crack cocaine better than sensi
You're pumpin' that shit yo we're sick of it
Teakin' every weekend and we just can't take it
we don't want plastic
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 would listen to 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.
(babble)
Give it to me, one time, Give it to me, two times.. Give it to me, three
times... Give it to me: four times...
People listen up don't stand too near
I got something that you all should hear.
All lies, all the lies she told to me
form a little 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 baby's on the way.
Kiss 'em on the check and life's 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 too close
I got something that you all should know
Holy Matrimony is not for me.
Rather die alone in misery.
Because I was always taught that boy meets girl,
fall in love get married and forget the world.
Nine months later, the sweet baby's 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 institution 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 baby's on the way,
Kiss 'em on the check and life's 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
Badfish
When you grab a hold of me
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 will never end
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 get old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef
Let's Go Get Stoned
I swear sometimes your taking me for granted
I swear sometime 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 sucking someone else's dick, (OH 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 no 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.
New Trash
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
And that's why you gotta kick reality.
So don't tease me and try to say 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 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.
Scarlet Begonias
As I was walkin down rubadub square
Not a chill to the window but a little to the air
From another direction she was calling 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
I knew right away she was not like other girls...like other girls
Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong
As everything 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
It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above
Because the women took a lovin over me
And just to gain her trust, I bought a microbus
Because I sold off all my personal property
A tie-tie-dyed dress , she was a psychedelic mess
We toured to the north, south, east and west
We sold some mushroom tea,
we sold some ecstasy,
We sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin and PCP
And now I hear the police coming after me
Yes 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 begonias 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 by... let her pass by.
Live at E's
Yesterday I saw a whore looking out my door
While she makes my body aches but I walk in and I say:
I'm on the mic doin things you like
The name is ras M.G. and I'm a treat you right
Cause all the ladies and me you see we both agree that I'm going down in world history
Oh she makes my body ache and you know I live 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 rhy-rhyme, I also cut so nice
And all the fightin, perpetratin DJ's want my slice
(bradley rhyme)
(eric)
My name is eric I have nothing to say
because I am not a fucking d.j.
And if you want to come talk to me, then you've got to talk to my man Bradleeey
uh-uh elected, my rhymes will be perfected.
the mighty MC's will be dissected and rejected
I am the most impressive- aspective and progressive-
motivating, innovating, chillin and digested
Its obvious as ever it will be specialized
If your trying to proclaim-uh- cant be compromised
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 course it is OK, Uh-Uh
5000 G, we outta here, peace, unity.
DJ's
All of the d.j.s surely have taken lessons
Start talkin trash and I'll come with my smith & wesson
A little competition comes my way but it always winds up the same,
"the stone that the builder refuse shall be the head cornerstone"
Ain't nothin wrong, ain't nothing right
And still I set and lie awake all night
All of the d.j.s surely have taken lessons
Try talkin trash and I'll come with my smith & wesson
Enough d.j.s come with enough stylie
but when I bust my lyrics we all know it's wicked-wily.
Ain't nothin wrong, ain't nothing right
But still I sit and lie awake all night
You better be strapped with the gat
If you wanna walk with me, bound to come down
With the new stylie, rockin rubadub know as reggae music
Gotta come down with some new lyrics
Cause it just ain't nothing, oh I said it's been a real long time
Ain't nothin wrong, ain't nothing right
And still I sit and lie awake all night
Rubadub blender a new mixer
I am the one with d.j. with enough flavor
Hear my dub... lord have his grilled cheese.
I ain't jamaican, but I ain't no freak
Caught the man eno with the one pound bag o' tweak
And called him ghost rider every time you see him he fulfill the danger
Ain't nothin wrong, ain't nothing right
And still I sit 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 we have our ammunition...BO BO BO BO...GO GO GO GO...
I won't wait so long
I said 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
Chica Me Tipo
No importa que seriada (It doesnt matter what happens)
Porque todo se quitara, (Because everything will go away)
Ay no puedo ver lo (I cant see you)
Ni en pintura (Not even with paint)
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 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 possessed in property)
En propeidad. (In property)
(babble)
Right Back
Sleepin by yourself at night can make you feel alone
Your girl friend said so but I don't really know
That don't mean we fucked around that night last week when you left town
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
Feels like I'm right back there again
Sometimes I pray, waiting waiting for some bright holiday
So I bought 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 hoe
That don't mean I fuck around, I like to keep that higher ground
Sometimes I pray, waiting waiting for some bright holiday
So I bought 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 me
Sometimes I pray, waiting waiting for some bright holiday
So I bought myself a gun and I'm right back right back where I'm from
What Happened
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
My head feels like I musta' had some fun
What happened?
Last thing I remember
I was chillin at a party
Pinching girlie'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 am I doing here
Who is this girl in my bed
What is this shit on my face
My God, what is that awful smell
She may be an angel
She may be a queen
She might be black, white, American, Indian or Japanese
What happened?
Threw a bottle at the bouncer
Didn't think that he was cool
Pissed in someone's drink
And threw a bike into a pool
Driven down the side walk
Like a drunken possessed fool
I broke every single traffic rule.
What happened?
What happened?
Let's go
She may be an angel
She may be a queen
She might be black, white, American, Indian or Japanese
New Song
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, ooh!
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
Now 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
And maybe I just use too much.
Ebin
(You could hear the fuckin' fleas crawlin' on my nuts)
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 coolie 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
Coolie was sportin' black denim shoes
Dealing he was looking for something to use
With a pistol in his pocket and a bottle of booze
Well, it could be me or it could be you
Oh feels like my whole life is rearranged
Oh Ebin you've changed
Ebin, Ebin, Ebin, Ebin you've...
Oh how you've changed
Oh you've changed,
Oh how you've 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 assassination 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've changed
Ebin, Ebin, Ebin, Ebin you've
Oh you've changed,
Oh you've changed,
Oh how you've 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
Date Rape
Let me tell you about a girl I know,
had a drink about an 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 eyebrow raised 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 they drove away 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 Stylie.
The next day she went to her drawer, looked 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 heart 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.
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!
Hope
How can you say. "You torture me", when you're already thinking 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 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.
KRS-One
In school they never taught 'bout hamburgers or steak,
Elijah Mohammed 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 leap of style and intelligency
Yes, I know.
And I know because of KRS-ONE
Yeah, and I know
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 of KRS-ONE.
Yeah, and I know
And I know because
And I know
And I know because of KRS-ONE.
And I know
And I know
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 meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight
O-verride
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept when he remembered Zion.
