DJ's

Originally Recorded On 40 Oz. To Freedom / Skunk Records / 1992
Band Brad : Vocals, Guitar
Bud : Drums
Eric : Bass
Notes The lyrics in lines 5 and 6 are from the Bob Marley song Cornerstone, part of Marley Medley on Sublime Acoustic : Bradley Nowell and Friends.  They are most likely sung by Marley as a reference to his religious beliefs, as the subjects of stones and head cornerstones can also be found in the Holy Bible.

"Lord have this grilled cheese" is also a lyric in 5446 and Dont Push.

 

*In most live versions the intro is as follows:

Tellin' you right now
Soon there will nothing to plow
Soon there'll be nothin' natural
And everything will be artificial

In the future I say
In the future I say
In the future I say


All of the D.J.s surely have taken a lesson
Start talking trash and I'll come with my Smith & Wesson

A little competition comes my way (billy bye)
But it always winds up the same

But "the stone that the builder refused,
shall be the head cornerstone"

Ah, but there
Ain't nothin' wrong
Ain't nothin' right
And still I sit and lie awake all night

Oh, all of the D.J.s surely have taken a lesson
Try talkin' trash and I'll come with my Smith and Wesson

Enough D.J.s come with enough, enough stylee
But when I bust my lyrics we all know it's wicked and wily

Ain't nothin' wrong
Ain't nothin' right
And still I sit and lie awake at night

Oh, You better strapped with your gat if you wan' walk with me
I bound to come down with the new stylee
Rockin' rub a dub known as reggae music
Gonna come down with the new lyrics
'Cause it just ain't no thing
Oh, I said it's been a real long time

Oh, but there
Ain't nothin' wrong
Ain't nothin' right
And still I sit and lie awake all night

Oh yeah

Oh yeah Rubadub blender
A new mixer, go,
I am the one DJ with enough flavor, it go
Here I go, here I'm come, hear a the dubbed down D.J.
Lord have this grilled cheese

I mean ah, I am Jamican but I ain't no freak
I caught the man Ino with a ten pound bag of tweak
("ha ha ha-tweaking") -(Eazy E - "damn.")

Hold on, though we call it ghost rider
Every time we see them you fulfill the danger

Ain't nothin' wrong
Ain't nothin' right
And still I sit and lie awake all night

Oh, oh yea

Dreddy got a job to do,
And we might fulfill the mision
To see his pain would be his greatest ambition
But ah, we will survive in this world of compition
Using guns and our ammunition

Bo,bo,bo,bo,bo,bo,bo
go,go,go,go,go,go,go,go,go,go,go,go

I won't wait so long mm,
I said I won't wait so long for you
Oh, oh, yeah mmm ooh oh

Hard to get so much

Hmm

Stop your messin' around
Better think of your future
Time you straighten right out
Or you'll wind up in jail
