I have a secret place inside my mind, where I keep hidden inspiration you won't find. And when my petty anger goes to my head, you'll find I'm better off dead. Oh, and I don't hold the key, to find out what is killing me, its, been so long but somehow i just still care.
I am a Romeo, am a Romeo, with no place to go. H-, h-, h-, h-, h, h, h-, h-, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, he-, he-, he-, hey...
Sometimes I think you hate me, hang up the phone, but take a closer look, this hate I feel is my own. So many times I've loved you, more than myself, it's time to take that love and put it on the shelf. Oh, and when I hold you tight, it makes me want to scream and fight. Love turned to hate, some how it's just, how it's just, how it's just to late.
I am a Romeo, am a Romeo with no place to go. H-, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, h-, h-, h-, h-, pick it up, pick it up, h-, h-, pick it up h-, pick it up, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, h-, hey...
Rock the reggae music, cuz it sounds so fine, right! When I hold you tight, in my arms you are mine, but in the morning when I wake up and I still feel the same, I know something goin' on and I know who's to blame. Everytime I tell you I'm the real Romeo, it fills my soul and heart with anger, pain, and sorrow, cuz' somthings going on and I think you should know, so listen to my rhyme, cuz this is how it goes:
In a tight mini short in a short mini skirt, it feels so wrong and it feels so right. The more I think about it your a pain in the ass, I told you many times, this time it's gonna last. Want the kind of woman who can make me feel right, not sloppy drunk sex on a Saturday night, cuz.

Pull up your honey if you gotta one see, because your down with the style, cuz your down with me. Right! Right!. I'll rig the selector when your on the mixer, along with Peter Mitchell upon the echo chamber. Two, one, no they must see but no, they can't test me. Two, three of them come and say you can't test me. Because me rock the reggae music in a different stylee. Me rock the kinda reggae music right on time, because your down with the band that they call Sublime, right?
Don't take it too slow (right), don't take me wrong, me know which way to go me, me, me, me alright, me rock the reggae music day and all night.
Makes you wanna explode, makes me wanna explode, makes me wanna explode, makes you wanna explode, sometimes it makes you wanna explode... ah, hahaha.

I'm really surprised that they didn't release this song on any of their first 3 albums. This one and Trenchtown Rock. I know TTR was supposed to be on 40 oz., but there wasn't enough room on the CD/cassette. This song should have been on 40 oz, but it wasn't, so they threw it on SHS. It's definitely a great song and has the feel of Roots of Creation at the end, plus a little Don't Push. It's a shame Brad had to die, because now there's Mr. Sellout Rome running the band, and I could never see him create anything close to this, or any Sublime song for that matter. He's a fat douchebag who is only in it for the money. And it seems to have paid off really well for him. He's got a solo career as well now. He very well could end being the next Justin Bieber. ;)
yeah, this song is one of the coolest songs I've ever heard. the sound quality's kinda whack, but hell it kinda makes the song all the more mind-blowing - this guy should have been making millions, on the cover of rolling stone, interviews on vh1... not that that's what he was all about, but he definitely deserved it more than half these fucking horrible run-of-the-mill bands that i hear on the radio these days. gheeeze. bradley is simply brilliant on this track... great lyrics, some of his best guitar work, and the vocals at the end make it impossible not to bob your head. fuckin' eh... no disrespect to kurt but bradley was the brightest musical talent of the nineties IMO, and it's not even close.
Amen brother! Too bad both of them died before their time. Brad's death was inevitable, but at least he left quite a legacy. Nirvana is always recognized as the more popular band, the better band, because nobody talks about Sublime in the mainstream unless they have truly heard his full catalog. I've heard 3 Nirvana albums and he's nowhere near the talent of Brad and his band, but it was popular because that's what was being played on MTV, not Sublime and his DIY songs.

This is one of their best songs...i love it
true story
this song is so damn good. i'm gonna stop saying one song's my favorite by sublime though, cause i've said that for like 3 of their other songs, and my favorite changes weekly. but this song really does rock. the second verse is pure lyrical genius.
He's idealized this woman to be his "juliet", but his perfect relationship exists only in his head. He's beginning to realize that it's fake and each one of them living in a different reality drives them crazy.
I love to blaze and then listen to this song... amazing song.. i love it

I think he enjoyed a relationship with a girl but to ralationship was based on a dirty way of life.

This was a contradiction with the way of thinking of reggae music.. Love and respect. And in the morning he felt guilty to see he is not true to himself.. "Rock the reggae music, cuz it sounds so fine, right! When I hold you tight, in my arms you are mine, but in the morning when I wake up and I still feel the same"
"love turned to hate
What a great line!
