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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
