Sublime - Garbage Grove Lyrics






(here they come now, you see that?
yep both of the crews
they look they gonna fight)

We took this trip to garden grove
It smelt like Lou in the van, oh yeah
This ain't no funky reggae party $5 at the door
It gets so real sometimes, who wrote my rhyme
I got the microwave got the VCR
I got the duece-duece in the trunk of my car oh yeah
If you only knew that all the love that I found
It's hard to keep my soul on the ground.
Your a fool, don't fuck around with my dog
All I can see I steal
My folks don't understand
But my mind music from Jamaica
All the love that I found,
pull over there's a reason why my soul is unsound

It's you it's that shit stuck under my shoe
It's that smell inside the van
It's my bed sheet covered with sand
Sitting through a shitty band
Getting dog shit on my hands
Getting hassled by the man
Waking up to an alarm
Sticking needles in your arm
Picking up trash on the freeway
Feeling depressed every day
Leaving without making a sound
Pickin up my dog at the pound
Living in a tweaker pad
Getting yelled at by my dad
Acting happy when I'm not
Finding roaches in the pot

All these things I do,
They're waiting for you.

  4. D.... R....

    Heroins fun

  5. P.... ....

    This sounds like it was recorded during the robbin the hood sessions.

  6. G.... B....

    I guess it's called Garbage Grove for a reason lol

  7. K.... S....

    Whoever says this is a remix, they obviously don't know their Sublime. This is the original version. In some ways I prefer this version but also I prefer Garden Grove in other ways

    K.... S....

    Kaged Storm this is a remix

  8. J.... D....

    Really F'd up when Youtube plays the video you want to see really low and then blasts a commercial over you speakers.  Thanks for that.

  9. k.... ....

    I always loved this version!  We need Second Hand Smoke on colored vinyl!  That'd be dope.

  10. i.... ....

    The original song is a lot better.

    i.... ....

    Music is music, but I don't listen to SWR,it's a joke

    i.... ....

    Hell yeah brother, and I wasn't offended or anything, hope I didn't seem offended. Im from San Diego myself

    i.... ....

    What's SWR? Haha

    i.... ....

    That's how "sublime with rome" post their shit

  11. k.... ....

    dj product 1969 from hed cutting it up on this

  12. M.... S....

    reminds me of old school mario games

  13. G.... ....

    YEEE garden grove baby!!

  14. S.... I....

    so glad you could fill us in on where brad was from and what was going thru his mind.

  15. G.... I....

    Does this song have anything to do with bohemian grove?

    G.... I....

    get with the program

  16. M.... ....

    This is Garbage Grove, Garden Grove has similar lyrics but they're different

  17. J.... T....

    Ahh the sound in the backround at 1:19 reminds me of the same sound in steppin razor i used to get so high back in the day that shit would freak me out for some reason still does little bit i guess

  18. W.... ....

    this tripped me out!!! i thought that i had laced weed!!!... thank god for the description, lol

  19. I.... Z....

    Well, he was born in a suburb, but he lived in a hood by choice, probably because of how fake the world is.

  20. a.... ....

    Thanks wikikidd

  21. c.... ....

    Who cares what it's about? If it's about drugs it doesn't make the song any worse, Brad was expressing himself, it's art. There's nothing wrong with it being as it is.

  22. c.... ....

    gotta love incorrect top comments, comon sublime fans

  23. h.... f....

    yea untrue he grew up on belmont shore's but nice try

  24. A.... P....

    the real sublime fans are the people who knew about sublime before brad died. like nirvana and cobain before him, brad nowell left a legacy in his wake. too bad the "shit" got to him like that... we can all learn from brad... p.s. find a song by KRS-One called "you must learn" and listen for Brad. i'm drunk.

  25. G.... ....

    they look like they gonna fight!

  26. G.... ....

    OH ya, that's shits addicting as fuck I've tried it.

  27. D.... N....

  28. A.... x....

  29. K.... N....

  37. M.... ....

    dont fuck around with my god hahah

  38. w.... ....

    @srgkidd9 you probably know this but "187 on a motherfucking cop" is a snoop quote. he merged styles and made it sound better than most could. a true musical genius

  39. O.... Q....

    @PanicitsToxic 24 / 7 / 1992... Ese dia naci yo : /

  40. L.... W....

    @srgkidd9 tell it how it is bro

  41. B.... J....

    check out phat reggae dub status..if you like sublime~!

  42. n.... n....

    @srgkidd9 brad lived on the beach. kook

  43. D.... G....

    @micloven922 yeah. i was just pissed at sublime/rome. sorry bradley. much love. i owe so much to you. soo many other bands, entire musical genres, and a fiancee. all because of your music. RIP

  44. m.... ....

    @dasgemuse im glad they didnt go "mainstream bullshit" but brad shouldnt of died

  45. D.... G....

    @srgkidd9 that's exactly why i love the REAL sublime. this new sublime/rome is bullshit. turned a tweaker "dirty" band into some mainstream crap. Bradley was never meant to be a star and live a life of luxury. i'm glad he died before sublime turned into mainstream bullshit

  46. S.... D....

    @srgkidd9 go back a few comments and read what vaperbroz sent u 3 days ago that pretty much put the nail on the coffin

  47. S.... D....

    @srgkidd9 jack ass he live four houses from my uncle who is still friends jim to this day... think what u want.... where he live had nothing to do with him being a prodigy at music.... look at dre he raps like hes from da hood when hes not... its not that big of a deal the big deal is that bradley lives on through all of us listening to him

  48. V.... ....

    @srgkidd9
    actually Brad grew up in nice neighborhoods, its when he became a junky that he lives in a tweaker pad. If you watch the STLE DVD their friend Doug talks about how he met up with brad in a middle class neighborhood and they recorded "Garbage Grove" Garbage Grove isnt a remix, its the original. Produced by Brad and Doug in that tweaker pad he talks about. The lyrics got changed to fit the self titled album which they state in interviews is mostly about the 92 riots in LA


  49. A.... Z....

    @srgkidd9
    Woah wtf? Sorry man this isnt me someone must've used my account I mean i don't even know wtf this is.

  50. S.... G....

    and if you like sublime you'll go listen to them with rome. you think rome doesnt know who brad was. he loved the music just as much as any of us but now he's making a living and giving a living to eric & bud. and their music still speak more to the soul than most music out there getting publicity like sublime w/ rome.

  51. S.... G....

    @MrUrmother22 cool story. now try to understand mine.

  52. S.... G....

    @Rocklegend953 im not stupid. and ill tell you why. because if you read the whole message i said the same thing you did regarding music. but you guys have to get all defensive and talk shit. and he was poor and he was living in some sketchy ass neighborhoods when he was on h. he sold his instruments. and hung out in stps. so he was born and raised in suburbs, thats not the point of his story. point out flaws all you want.

  53. S.... D....

    @srgkidd9 he grew up in los alamitos in a nice neighboorhood get your shit straight

  54. r.... ....

    I love these guys!

  55. r.... ....

    I love these guys

  56. A.... R....

    @zachh333 yeah and if youll scroll down a little bit youll see that we've talked about that already.

  57. M.... ....

    @TheHillSideMafia pool shark is about herion.

  58. C.... C....

    I came to listen to Sublime and talk about Sublime. Idgaf about who cleans whose dog's shit or when they were fucking born. What the fuck is wrong with you guys?

  59. A.... R....

    @JAWright1984 Yea i think so. not 100% sure but that would be my guess

  60. J.... W....

    @MrSasheto86 "dog groomer" "dog shit picker upper".... same thing :b

  61. J.... W....

    @TheHillSideMafia a couple of the songs reference heroin.... I think really the only one that is about heroin is pool shark, am i rite?

  62. A.... R....

    @drunkenstick scarlet begonias which is really a greatful dead song, but Brad added that part himself

  63. s.... ....

    not a remix! this is the original, done on 4track in a crackhouse.

  64. S.... G....

    brad was addicted to H.
    he mentions how the world is so fake and sometimes it gets so real for him. he didnt live in some suburb or over busy city, he lived in a hood. where things were real. where he lived poverty. its about coming out on top and screaming 187 on a motherfucking cop. about letting the world know about the shit some poeple have to deal with.

  65. D.... S....

    why!? :/

  66. A.... R....

    @Ohidro187 lets not lead people to believe he was nothing but an addict when he was so much more. i agree alot of references were in his lyrics. but that doesnt make the song about it. REFERENCES MAN REFERENCES! by the way herion and all other opiods ruin lives. just to put that out there for the kids that think brad may be glorifying the shit. sure it gives you a good buzz but ask an addict about shitting on themselves when they dont have it. by the way youre fucking insane!! have a nice day

  67. A.... R....

  68. A.... R....

    @Ohidro187 damn im tired of getting comments from this video. He says so much more in his music other than herion. he mentions women herb guns mushrooms NOT JUST HERION. Im sure brad only wanted to be remembered as a guy who advertised herion. so please you morons leave me alone! thanks

  69. K.... M....

    i think this versions better.. especialy when ur blown XD

  70. A.... R....

    @Ohidro187 See what im sayin? no they arent! some have references. not most. but a simple reference isnt what makes a song. im sure thats what he wanted his music to be remembered as! every herion addict i know hates herion and themselves. Im gonna go shoot myself now.

  71. A.... R....

    @k00patr00pa1 you aint koopa troopa motherfuckeer. i wrote a song about herion today i called sublime!

  72. T.... F....

    @TheHillSideMafia every song ever wrote is about smack

  73. T.... L....

    pull over

  74. L.... B....

    MrFagenabler is winning

  79. c.... ....

    @Somekid420 Second-hand smoke

  80. S.... ....

  82. D.... G....

  83. W.... ....

    @MrFagenabler Is this a true story? If thats so, THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME! How high did u get? Bong rips? Come on, share us everything :D

  84. S.... I....

    that story sounds to good to be true

  85. H.... R....

    sorry but this doesn't do Sublime any justice, they were fucking great, this songs nae bad but not worth the time of day!!

  86. K.... F....

  94. S.... ....

    @bmi100 LOL. So true, I want to believe him too.. Sounds like a personal wish to me, though.

  95. S.... Z....

    DOWNERS GROVE IL NIGGA

  96. P.... T....

    @MrFagenabler

    i really want to believe you, but it just seems too good to be true.

  97. T.... O....

    @TheSublime210 Dumbass, this is by Sublime

  98. r.... ....

    i wonder why they actually took the trip to garden grove, cuz there are no white people at all it's a complete Asian town every sign is written in chinese and the whole town smells like sesame oil.

  99. E.... K....

    @willmorrison100

    if any sublime song was purely about heroin use, it would be pool shark without a doubt.
