Had A Dat Lyrics

Raging and swirling, getting inside, I feel Like I'm going to Break!
Bright sun sinking low,
I never feel afraid to let emotions show.
Well I did.
Now take a look at me,
I had a close brush before your destiny.

Before I end, and you'll be victims of
my stories, tales, lies, and exaggerations.
I'm gonna
When your living life like a show
you gotta
take a bow to the people you know

I said lie, for me
lying under a process tree
oh engrossing in my brain
feeling like I'm going a little insane.

a little close inside
feels like I'm going INSANE!

Red lights
are
sinking low

I grab another beer cuz it's time to go...

I feel my head burst, I head out to your car
And I pray to Jesus Christ, but you won't get too far

I say uh, headlights and uh second gear
I run the road of like and skip the things you fear
I said that you might, that you might find a better way
to justify the evil things that you say

Ah, help me please, ah help me please
because I'm going upon my knees

I said, I said
going down to my knees
I pray to the Lord up above!

Help me,
I'm falling down
feeling now the cold, cold, cold, hard ground

haunting faces, and moving lines
slumber party for tonight

Pound it hard, your gonna pound it again
but please just do not pump up my friend
cuz it seems alright, gonna push him around
but I can't be taken for no clown.

Because,
when I am on the ground I CRY!

wowowowowowo.. Dub Style!

oh, cool and eazy
oh no
cool and easy
to the sweet reggae music
oh no
feels alright to sweet reggae music
feels alright
sweet reggae music....

I truely think its about his addiction problem.

"Ah, help me please, ah help me please because I'm going upon my knees

I said, I said going down to my knees I pray to the Lord up above!

Help me, I'm falling down feeling now the cold, cold, cold, hard ground "

This song is so powerful to me, I love it, I don't understand how anyone couldn't like it. To me this isn't even a song its like audio art, Bradley is truely letting out his demons in this.

Lemme clear the confusion. Had A DAT- Digital Audio Tape.

Now for the lyrics, "raging, swirling getting inside, feeling like i'm going insane" -He's watching the flame as he hits a pipe.

"Never felt afraid to let emotions show, but i did Now take a look at me, I had a close brush before your destiny." -He's beginning to have a bad trip.

All the rest of the song is like him leaving a party all wrecked and tripping/drunk as he drives around and stop and he falls out of the car and has a breakdown.

Then at the end of his bad trip the cool and easy, sweet reggae music calms him out of his trip. All he ever needed was his music.

-Just my two cents

This is Brad's life story put in a song. He sings with such conviction an awesome example of Sublime. A Sublime classic.
