Sublime - New Song Lyrics






I heard that payback's a mother fuckin' bitch
But I won't stress and I won't switch
And I would not take my life
Glory please, my God, the only thing on my mind
Takes up all of my time,
And I said, ooh!

Running from a gun
Or some brain that ways a ton
And my God, it hurts to get so low
Searchin' through the cars
Cold, still searchin' through the night
I think I will run, to you, but I refuse to fuss and fight

And God may find a reason
Well I'm sure you'll find a rhyme
Because it takes up nearly all my time
He who stands for freedom
God knows I've got the number
But maybe I just use too much

I was sitting in that bar
I'm sittin' in that stolen car
Cold, still rollin' down the boulevard
Saw you with a gleam
And the microphone scene

'Think I will run, to you
But I know I won't live for me
Cause I know God's got both, the reason and the rhyme
Please tell me, why he takes up all my time
I've been drinking, just like you
And baby, you've got something I can use

Payback's a mother fuckin' blast
But I won't stress and I won't blast
And I would not take my life
Glory please, my God, comin' from heaven above
Takes up all of my time
And I said

"Why must I feel like that"
Running from a gun
And some brain that ways a ton
You know, I did that line for Flava' Flave

But, all the D.J.'s do it
All the D.J.'s use it
I would run, I would switch
But I wanna be the same

And I know I'll find a reason
'Cause I always bust a rhyme
Because it takes up nearly all my time
The "T" hear stands for treason
The "D" hear stands for dove

And maybe I just use too,
Maybe I'm just used too much.

    Garbageville

    I hear your broke and stuck up on the hill.
    The flys got you down.
    The dry creeks, the blue green floaty things.
    The downside of summer.
    And in the rain, in winter, between homes, between gardens and bedside lamps.
    Sleeping bag soggy things wet in my bed.
    Summer eyes.
    Like the creeks and our wallets, high and dry.
    Your sitting up on the hill looking over garbageville, swating flys but you never hit them.
    In the fall we'll find out treason.
    For a while we'll pretend there's good reasons.
    But in the winter I'll be wet, in between gardens and inbetween the people I've met.
    And someone will do someone wrong.
    Broke.
    The end of summer, waiting for the check.
    Swatting flys, working up a sweat.
    Bitch snd moan, stuck on a hill overlooking garbageville at some pretend home.
    Swating at flys, working up a sweat.

  36. G.... ....

    dude train took this song for hey soul sister and got famous with it, while no one has ever heard how good this song is. brad deserves the credit for al that shit

    other than Slow Ride, this has always been my favorite song by Sublime

  58. F.... F....

    My closest, lifelong friend died a couple weeks ago. Back in college, we used to listen to this song, over and over, deep into the night. He would tell me he wanted it played at his funeral. Now, I'm helping his mom plan the music for his funeral. This song will be played, just like he wanted. Miss you, brother....

    F.... F....

    I want this played at my funeral as well. Hopefully that won’t be soon

    F.... F....

    @Cole Strickland not for another 60 years Cole🙏

    F.... F....

    F.... F....

    Thumbs up I'm still here!!!! Timmy

  59. E.... T....

    Damn forgot about this song

  60. S.... C....

    Sad that the only thing you can do with music is to listen to it. I wish I could do something else with this tune that I'm listening ininterruptedly since last week when I discovered it and my awe just grows. What do you do with something that makes you so daringly happy?

    This song is equal parts pain and beauty because there's so much soul it hurts.

    Any singer can be heard, Brad was a singer you felt.

    k.... c....

    King Complex and the Knightowls truth

    k.... c....

    Absolutely man, you FEEL this song, his struggle. Such a sad story, but such is life

    k.... c....

    Bradley sang some of the most painful lyrics I've ever heard and set to reggae it really contrasts quite boldly and I find that beautiful.

    k.... c....

    Louie some of the most painful lyrics and also some of the most beautiful lyrics. I'm 36 but only discovered sublime couple of months ago back when first came out I was stuck on heavy metal rock and old school rap N.W.A eazy e ect so I'm enjoying it now for the first time and I totally love it his voice was amazing clever lyrics with really good beats amazing band

  72. J.... W....

    anyone who dislikes this video can suck my balls... this song is a motherfucking bitch

    J.... W....

    @Andrea Krist hahaha

    J.... W....

    Lol. I was just shown a video just this minute of a tranny pulling his dick and balls up his ass inbetween his fake butt cheeks. After sreing that im pretty sure a titty wouldnt bother me at all lol

    J.... W....

  80. 1.... ....

    Just a happy song

    1.... ....

    Yes its a fantastic song but its far from being happy, unless that is you find the lifestyle and fucked up things addicts do when using hard drugs happy ? So what the hell do you think is always on Brads mind and takes up all his time ?

    1.... ....

    Sarcasm.

    1.... ....

    we are all addicts in one form or another.

  81. K.... L....

    try this song with a phenethylamine sometime.

    K.... L....

    listening to this again tonight. show my wife this comment and she's demanding I delete it. lol

  82. S.... ....

    sick playlist bro

  83. E.... C....

    THIS IS THEIR SONG I CAN NOT GET THIS SONG OUTTA MY HEAD..... FOR YEARS AND YEARS

    E.... C....

    i listened to robin the hood driving thru the grimey part of hollywood while frying on acid one morning and it changed my life....well kinda--real shit tho

    E.... C....

    Eddie Castillo haha cisco kid plays in my head every single time i take a shower. i have no idea why

    E.... C....

    its fucking crazy i feel the same way

    E.... C....

    @TrEv- daWG hell yeah acid is a weird ass drug 😂

    E.... C....

    Done alot of acid...its weird but it's the greatest of them all and I've done heroin and crystal and they just dont give you the high your truly looking for

  84. G.... B....

    This song's not so new anymore, Sublime.

  85. M.... M....

    this is easily one of their most underrated songs.. it's crazy tho how he says he wouldn't take his own life in this song.. it's pretty sad

    M.... M....

    He wasn't big enough at the time for illuminati to even spectate him.

    M.... M....

    It was an accident he didn't try and kill himself

    M.... M....

    @jdouble dizzle idk they were growing pretty quick the government could've wacked him who knows. I still think he overdosed but his death like others could have involved foul play

    M.... M....

    UNDERRATED since when by whom ???only you

    M.... M....

    Mike...i'll be number 50 but not the 5.0✌

  86. J.... B....

    I know that sublime sampled alot, borrowed a little and I love them for it sublime my favorite band by far, ever. However it would have been so much cooler if the "running from a gun, or some brain that weights a ton" was originally brads. I mean they do that line so much better than flava flav hahah. This song is dope by the way one of my favorites.

    J.... B....

    all the dj's do it. all the dj's use it...

    J.... B....

    there's a DJ here on YouTubes that goes by the name DJ Funktuall and he did a 4 part series on all of Sublimes tracks and their samples and plays the original the sample came from. the series really opened my eyes to how much of a genius Brad was. he did it so well and there was way more than I could hear. if it weren't for the Samps I wouldnt have heard half of the originals. check out the series really fun and cool youtuber.

    J.... B....

    +jkuebler89 check out Sublime Rewind Selector...

    J.... B....

    He says it himself in this song . " all the dj's do it , all the dj's use it -- " I wanna be the same"

    J.... B....

    Remember dude in STP, Brad has lyrics Flavor Flav and ICE once said something that me, want to burn my liquor store to the ground. He's always been influenced by Public Enemy.

  87. A.... B....

    The beauty of Sublime is that they sampled so many different artists, covered their songs, but they had a craft in making covers their own.

    A.... B....

    Your so right brah....I have a lot of the reggae they sampled ...no one can do it like them.they made it their own..and I'm ok with that..so irie def.one of my favorite band .just like Bradley I'm a big reggae head ..brad was a genius in his own way .. Much respect from the central coast California....pahh pahhh rasta stylee

  88. J.... J....

    this is probably my favorite sublime song.

  89. C.... T....

    This isn't a new song to anyone who listened to Sublime in the 90s. Great song though. My favorite is Miami April 1992. Anyone who likes sublime should check out longbeach dub Allstars. It's the band after thier sing died. Same chill sound.

    C.... T....

    Of course I love sublime and anything affiliated with it. I was just adding to your list of bands to listen to if you like sublime. Long Beach Shortbus was formed after the LBDA. If you haven't heard any of their stuff, check em out! There's some good stuff floating around right here on YouTube.

    C.... T....

    Wow. I'm surprised I've never heard of em. I'm glad you said something

    C.... T....

    "new song" IS the title of the song. if you were ironic excuse me.

    C.... T....

    Ya I was trying to be candid

    C.... T....

    @Cozmo Teckla Yea, some of the realest fans sometimes don't know what the name of some songs, jamming it in a cd and not looking up the title haha, But shit the thread everybody knows their shit, Sublime turned into another band after Bradley passed called LBDA, that people were just talking about earlier in this online convo haha, but nah Sublime all day, not Rome though, he sings good, but don't call yourselves SUBLIME when y'all made one of Bradley's guitars into a sculpture engraved with "Like Nirvana with Kurt Cobain, Sublime died with Bradley James Nowell." and gave it away as a gift to Bradley's father. If any body should have took up the name "Sublime" in the first place it should have been LBDA, that band had everybody in and around Sublime besides Bradley. Namaste. 

  90. F.... D....

    rolled up by the long beach dub allstars reminds me alot of this song

    F.... D....

    @Francis Dirte That's because the members of sublime joined them after Brad passed

    F.... D....

    Your too young to understand then

  91. T.... N....

    I bought an old car from someone and he left a CD in the radio. This song came on.
    I thought it was a big joke. This is horse shit.

    T.... N....

    Lol ok, one love!

    T.... N....

    Peace, love, and corndogs.

    T.... N....

    @Tatiana Ludocat Shouldn't you be complaining about the patriarchy on tumblr about now?

    T.... N....

    Get over it, worm.

  92. D.... J....

    i love this song so much.. its got such a happy beat

    D.... J....

    Sad lyrics though..

    D.... J....

    Many sublime songs are contrasted like this.

    D.... J....

    +yost112ty preach it bro

    D.... J....

    such a sad song rip bradley :(((

    D.... J....

    Fuck yes I am
    Bradley knows which way the wind blows 😎

  93. D.... L....

    Word play without we even knowing. Such a UNDERGROUND HIT. MICA I love you GIRL

  94. A.... S....

    One of my favorite, too. It's a super intricate bassline and I know Eric keeps a flask in his back pocket and they were always fucked up at shows so maybe that's why they didn't play it live. And yeah, "I did that line for Flava Flav" to me means he was admitting he was trying to be like other artists so much! That's why he "experamented" with heroin

    @***** Cheers. It just seems to fit more to me.

    "You know I bit that line from flava flav" is what he says

    A.... S....

    Hes pretty much saying. "You know I copied that phrase from flava flav

    A.... S....

    Exactly. I dont get how this is even a misconstrued lyric. I guess the person I was commenting with deleted their account.

    i heard that payback's a motherfuckin' bitch
    But I won't stress and I won't switch
    And I would not take my life
    Glory please have God the only thing on my mind
    Takes up all of my time and I said, "Ooh"

    Running from a gun or some brain that weighs a ton
    And my God it hurts to get so low
    Searchin' through the cars cold still searchin' through the night
    I think I will run to you but I refuse to fuss and fight

    And God may find the reason well I'm sure you'll find a rhyme
    Because it takes up nearly all my time
    He who stands for freedom God knows I've got the number
    But maybe I just use too much

    I was sitting in that bar now I'm sittin' in that stolen car
    Cold still rollin' down the boulevard
    Thought you was clean on the microphone scene
    Think I would run to you but I know I won't fit for me

    'Cause I know God's got both the reason and the rhyme
    Please tell me why it takes up all my time
    I've been drinking just like you
    And baby you've got something I can use

    Payback's a mother fuckin' blast
    But I won't stress and I won't blast
    And I would not take my life
    Glory please my God comin' from Heaven above
    Takes up all of my time and I said

    Why must I feel like that?

    Running from a gun and some brain that weighs a ton
    You know I bit that line from Flavor Flav
    But all the D.J.'s do it, all the D.J's use it

    I would run, I would switch but I wanna be the same
    And I know I'll find a reason 'cause I always bust a rhyme
    Because it takes up nearly all my time

    "T" it stands for treason, the "D" it stands for dub
    And maybe I just use too, maybe I'm just used too
    And maybe I'm just use too much
