Sublime - 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 all right, 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 easy
oh no
cool and easy
to the sweet reggae music
oh no
feels all right to sweet reggae music
feels all right
sweet reggae music....

Sublime Had A Dat Comments
  1. D.... W....

    This was the first sublime song I heard when I was a kid my cousin and I would listen to this on our CD player and dance around the living room. I played this song one last time with him at his funeral. This song got me through the hardest time of my life

  2. M.... D....

    Oooooowowowowowowowowowooooo

  3. A.... ....

    When you live your life like a show, you've got to take a bow to the people you know...
    God I miss Bradley

  4. L.... B....

    So hard not to sing along but I just wanna hear Brad.

  5. b.... n....

    Sublime is exactly what they were. To damn good for this world.

  6. M.... S....

    I have loved this song for over 20 years! But can anyone explain it to me?

  7. A.... T....

    I miss sublime.

  8. N.... B....

    118 losers don't know good music when they hear it, as evidenced by the dislike button above. RIP Bradley

  9. R.... W....

    Rome blows change isnt always an improvement

    R.... W....

    You do know that Bradley died right? Of a heroin overdose, right when they were starting to get huge. Bud and Eric's careers were just getting started and then he died. All of his former friends and band mates went through years of struggling with depression and drug and alcohol abuse, only to pull through it and get sober and try to re-start their careers. They played in other bands for a decade and then wanted to get back together to play the Sublime songs that everyone loves. So, get over it. Rome isn't Bradley but that doesn't mean he isn't talented, and I've heard him sing recently and he does a great job.

    R.... W....

    Jeez u care too much in not reading that, fuck what u think lmao

  10. R.... H....

    goes in the inner zone - Smiles - finds Sublime

  11. p.... ....

    shout out Little John - Sweet Reggae Music

  12. J.... M....

    I can seriously respect Nirvana not continuing under the same name without Kurt Cobain. Sublime with Rome has killed the legacy of this band. It's nowhere close to the quality of Bradley's voice and lyrics and scat abilities. Even his guitar playing, on albums at least, is irreplaceable.

  13. h.... ....

    That fuckin bass man, tasty stuff

  14. G.... T....

    Driving 90 cliffside windows down flying out the hills beneath the Sierras singing this comes to mind whenever I hear this song.

  15. O.... M....

    Damn this tune rocks!

  16. R.... W....

    Sublime with rome isnt even a sliver of what sublime was with bradley

    R.... W....

    And he was there the whole time

  17. K.... K....

    106 bitch bred dick licking kook fucks thumbs down this... Lame fucks

  18. P.... H....

    its funny that whenever i hear this song i remember mowing the lawn. high school was rough but sublime helped me get through all the bullshit.

  19. J.... W....

    One of my favs from Sublime and it's hard to even pick they made so many amazing songs.

  20. E.... ....

    The way Brad spits at 1:28 is sick.. damn that guy had style.

    E.... ....

    Straight fucking G

  21. G.... b....

    2018 anyone

    G.... b....

    Nah, 2019, old guy. Get with the times

  22. A.... Z....

    Funny how not one of these commenters so far seems to know what a DAT actually is.

  23. S.... V....

    Mucho gusto me llamo..

  24. A.... R....

    Most underrated sublime song. So much soul n fun on nowells vocals rip brad

    A.... R....

    Underrated? Who cares about ‘ratings’
    Who rates any of this

  25. D.... C....

    My favorite sublime song

  30. C.... F....

    Dat Bass

  31. H.... T....

    I feel bad for Rome because the hate he gets but thats what he signed up for..

  32. N.... F....

    Nod out to this at times when im blasted.

  33. D.... C....

    1:15 that part always makes me start speeding lol

  34. A.... Z....

    Product of the times and environment. This song speaks volumes. A few youngsters down the block asked me one day what a DAT was... Kids these days will never know the struggle of Loading the Box and Pumping that Shit!
    "Give me a phat analog signal, Don't go digital" - Brad Nowell.

    A.... Z....

    When Brad was homeless and strung out running the streets here in Long Beach, He had a 8 track recorder... He would record the different elements of a song piece by piece So he could layer them at a later time when recording since he didn't have regular access to a recording studio. He would record Erics bass, Bud's drums, His Lyrics, and other featured artists lyric verses individually, then layer them on top of each other when mixing tracks. Fucking genius man...This is how a lot of the material on Robbin the Hood was recorded over on Anaheim and Ohio where the Secret Tweaker Pad used to be at down the street from Alex's bar and across from the liquor store brad always sung about. Like he said in the song Jailhouse - "You had to be there."

    I think YouTube just puts in ads automatically. Get some adblock bro, you'll never see another youtube ad.

    I.... ....

    @Zumbi Dos Palmares Yeah, actually I am not sure why the ad popped up. Seems Mac has auto ad block

    Z.... S....

    redstone republic

    your magic in detail is just DAT..

  78. W.... ....

    lets be honest... this song sucks

    W.... ....

    Let's be truthful... this song rocks

    W.... ....

    @wkstearns91 aww.

    W.... ....

    @Nodog799 was talking to the other guy fyi

    W.... ....

    @wkstearns91 Nice use of faggot :D :D :D hahah.... This song does kinda suck though.

    W.... ....

    Zumbi Dos Palmares *leans into mic* Wrong.

  79. f.... ....

    Best song from sublime

    Long Beach Ca.

    f.... ....

    yup yup how lucky are we! haha

    f.... ....

    @Jose Donis 4th and cedar in the house

    f.... ....

    Dam, I live right here by Burnett and cedar

    f.... ....

    i wish lived there !! chicago is always home for me but it sucks at times. fucked up shit

  80. p.... ....

    Damn if this song doesn't bring back some good memories though... Reminds me of getting stoned with my highschool buddies in the late 90s and going to the county fair. Great memories that were now half a lifetime ago...

    p.... ....

    @phubans I feel the exact same dude. Don't get to see my old friends much anymore but sublime always refreshes the good old days.

    p.... ....

    phubans- beutiful my brother BRAD NOWELL LIVE 4EVER. IN US

    p.... ....

    so dope

    p.... ....

    You can still get stoned and go to the fair.

    p.... ....

    I'm 36 in January but somehow I missed out on sublime back then was listening to heavy metal rock and old school rap N.W.A eazy e ect but it means I get to enjoy this for the first time now instead, I only actually discovered sublime a couple of months ago and I totally love it, so sad about Bradley though!!, I'm battling addiction myself weed and drinking since 13 heroin since 23 and I'm now 30'odd days clean with my girlfriend who I met through heroin we are doing it together she's only 22 and has already wasted 4 years on that shit, we wouldn't have met if we wasn't both addicts so one good thing came from it now we just need to get clean together to be together properly. It's evil shit taken alot of good people and a few close friends I hate the stuff

  81. p.... ....

    What is Brad saying at 0:51? In all the lyrics I've found for this song, they have it as "lying under a process tree." That doesn't make any sense. A process tree is a bunch of processes in Windows operating system and I highly doubt he was singing about that. There is ONE page that has the lyrics as "lying under across the street," which makes a lot more sense, but it does sound like he's saying "tree" and not "street" ... Crosses Tree? I have no idea...

    p.... ....

    It is process tree.  He is talking about lying to the cops.  He would be processed if he were to be caught on mushrooms.  That is why its lying under the process tree.

    p.... ....

    @phubans i said lie for me, lying under a process tree all engrossing in my brain...

    p.... ....

    phubans how about in caress me down? he is speaking fluent Spanish but its utter nonsense.

  82. A.... M....

    ...and his reflection of the experience, this song is about

  83. A.... M....

    bradley tripping on mushrooms

    A.... M....

    haaaa!season coming in by thebwY

    A.... M....

    Albert Mariano songs about his dope addiction im pretty sure

    A.... M....

    Lmao I’ve listened to this song on shrooms before. Shit tripped me out so hard.

  84. S.... R....

    alot of comments about rome in here, all i can say is that rome makes good music,  but let him do it as rome and not sublime, because rome is not suppose to sound like bradley k, but sublime is not suppose to sound like rome, so rome will never be up to the task, bradley is sublime

    S.... R....

    Santiago Rojas. I TOTALLY AGREE. BRADLEY IS SUBLIME. SUBLIME. PERIOD. BRADLEYANDLOUIEDOG. SUBLIMEFANFOREVER.😎❤❤✌

    S.... R....

    Then it’s not sublime. No hatred but sublime is sublime and not with rome

    S.... R....

    Great voice he absolutely has but it’s not the same. Same as 0 nirvana without kurt

    S.... R....

    @james vauhn I was going to put the exact same two words up here !

    S.... R....

    Rome is a faggot

  85. A.... B....

    Great bass line, creepy feel to this song, but it's awesome nonetheless.  "Feels like I'm going insane!"  Pretty sure this is about some kind of bad drug trip.

    A.... B....

    Andrew Brunelle H addiction i think idk

  86. 4.... ....

    smoke weed everyday

  87. C.... H....

    i love the bass
    line A LOT

  88. E.... M....

    I love brad and I love this song

  89. g.... b....

    fuck everybody that dislikes sublime, brad was a muthaaaf*cccckkkinnnn geuis!!!

  90. F.... ....

    Oh, I did.

  91. F.... ....

    Yes, but Kaleo Wassman could never put the emotion into the songs that Bradley did.

  92. I.... ....

    check out this song by ISON - No life

  93. T.... ....

    Please don't.

  94. B.... B....

    romes not suppose to sound like brad..
