Santeria
Sublime Lyrics
I don't practice Santeria, I ain't got no crystal ball
Well, I had a million dollars but I, I'd spend it all
If I could find that Heina and that Sancho that she's found
Well, I'd pop a cap in Sancho and I'd slap her down
What I really want to know
Ah, baby, mm
What I really want to say
I can't define
Well it's love that I need
Heina of my own
Daddy's gonna love one and all
I feel the break, feel the break
Feel the break and I got to live it up, oh yeah huh
Well, I swear that I, well I really want to know
Ah, baby, what I really want to say, I can't define
That love, make it go, but my soul will have to
Ooh, what I really want to say, ah baby
What I really want to say is, "I've got mine
And I'll make it, ooh yes, I'm coming up"
Tell Sanchito that if he knows what is good for him
He best go run and hide
Daddy's got a new .45
And I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down Sancho's throat
Believe me when I say that I got something for his punk ass
What I really want to know, my baby
Ooh, what I really want to say is there's just one way back
And I'll make it, yeah, my soul will have to wait
Yeah, yeah, yeah

"Santeria"
I don't practice Santeria
I ain't got no crystal ball
Well, I had a million dollars but I, I'd spend it all.
If I could find that Heina, and that Sancho that she's found.
Well, I'd pop a cap in Sancho and I'd slap her down.
What I really wanna know, mah baby, mmmm...
What I really wanna say I can't define.
Well, it's love, that I need. Oh...
My soul will have to wait till I get back, to find a Heina of my own.
Daddy's gonna love one and all.
I feel the break, feel the break, feel the break and I gotta live it up.
Oh, yeah, uh huh.
Well, I swear that I.
What I really wanna know, ah baby.
What I really wanna say I can't define, got love make it go.
My soul will have to...
[Instrumental break]
Oh...
What I really wanna say, mah baby.
What I really wanna say is I've got mine, and I'll make it, oh yes I'm coming up.
Tell Sanchito that if he knows what is good for him he best go run and hide.
Daddy's got a new Forty-Five.
And I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down Sancho's throat.
Believe me when I say that I got somethin' for his punk ass.
What I really wanna know, mah baby.
Oh, what I really wanna say is there's just one, way back, and I'll make it, yeah.
My soul will have to wait, yeah, yeah, yeah.

you know what's sad? every single person on this earth knows who Kurt Cobain is, but not too many people know who Bradley Nowell was. I know they played completely different musical styles but in terms of influence and musical impact they were the same, both defined a generation and inspire many many bands. Bradley deserves so much recognition, such a legend.

this is idiotic kurt cobain had much more impact in music then bradley nowell who had never even made it to the charts if you wanna day ones better that’s one thing but to say that bradley had more impact is not even close to true

I mean I know a lot of people who dont know layne staley, chris cornell and kurt cobain

Recognition doesn't validate an artist's talent.
Besides, it doesn't matter to dead people how widely they're recognised.
