hide
as they bear a load
and all they said
guns came from the cops
robbin' the hood
get in our apartment
and if we live here we'll be rushin' the place
it will be all over when we get free don't fuss to fake it
when they'd bust through the roof
within they couldn't break it
and leave it alone ay
and leave it the low ey
leave it the load
and leave it all the love
leave me the load
under your radio
reople comin' over in from westside
and you really really really really shouldn't be over
people prancin' all around
because of crack cocaine out all over the
on the order of a officer

shoot!
let the dogs go!
let the diggity-dog dogs go!
let the dogs go!
let the dogs go!
let the dog dogs
let the dogs go
me people pity
thee pleople
fooled
it wasn't like bdp
they let the dogs go!
they let the dogs just go!

and all of a sudden
turned into a stage show
and it all bud was grabbin' it
and flew in the air
and everybody looked
and then they started to declare
i never seen a doggie that could get so high
and then we busted
and did it even and
oh why did we did it
'cause it was real ay
they sent me with a hospit-tital bill
it wasn't needed
like i had to get still
more flat
or even go to the ma-ma-man
i knew the tec was within' my reach
zoom
louie doggie is such a life
sweet
peep peep peep
she loved the lovin' and i
i'm learnin'
it's not so easy
to let the dogs go
now i know

there is a train coming in
it is a train coming down
he didn't even notice
and then downed 'cause sound
because he's deaf
not stupid or dumb
he's just a diggity-dig
dog runt
he limped into the middle of the track
he didn't hear the train coming going clack clack clack clack
it was an ift it was a track from the sky
it was straight to the ear
and it went out through his backside
he be livin' 'cause we ought to leap
all good doggies not gonna get no funky sleep
because they're up all night practicin'
they get how men can get macked and
oh and then oh i'm in
bust a whole
car opcomin'
bo!
mm

let the dogs know...

    Finally, this song got on here. It doesn't have any profound meaning, but it is a sick bass line and a really rare bootleg of Sublime's. When I first heard this, I was like, "Wow, this is an awesome groovy dub tune!" Bradley is a little hard to understand in some parts, but his amazing voice still makes the song shine. I'm glad someone figured out the lyrics, because there was no way I could understand everything he was saying, but the overall sound of this song, with the bass, drums, and guitar make it one of my favorite Sublime dubs/freestyles.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
