Ah oh
You say it's black
And I say it's white
And you say it's wrong
But I know it's right
No I wont criticize
'cause I got a date
And set it off like dynamite
Oh oh
And set it off like dynamite
Oh oh
And set it off like dynamite
And you'll say come here
But I'll just stay
You'll say go a little
But walk there is a will there is a way
And there is no chance to sacrifice
When I know I am here
And there is no doubts of islands
I won't stay clear
And set it off like dynamite
And set if off like dynamite
And set it off like dynamite
Oh oh
Now we'll all fall together
They'll all say, you'll say, stay I'll say
Will all fall together
And set it off like dynamite
And set it off like dynamite
We gonna set it off like dynamite
Oh oh
I uh huh
Oh oh
I I oh oh oh
I uh huh I
It's black it's white
I know that you are gone
We gonna set it off like dynamite
Hurry up
Put me up
Let me free of all your punishment that you have
Let me free of all this destruction from me
To you
From me to you
From me oh to you!
Oh oh
The lyrics of Sublime with Rome's song Dynamite express the idea that people have different perspectives on things but it does not have to lead to conflict. The singer acknowledges that his friend has a different opinion from him, but he believes that he is right. He avoids criticizing his friend and chooses not to argue because he has a date, which is more important to him. The chorus talks about setting off the situation like dynamite, which can be interpreted as resolving the situation quickly and explosively.
The second verse has a similar theme, where the singer and his friend have different views again, and his friend wants him to go walking with him. The singer refuses and says that he knows he is where he needs to be. The last verse talks about how they will all fall together, indicating unity and that they should not let differences get in the way of their friendship. The song highlights how people’s views may differ, but it should not affect their relationship, and it urges people to handle situations with care and not let differences blow out of proportion.

Ah oh
Expressing excitement and anticipation
You say it's black
Your perspective is different from mine
And I say it's white
I have an opposing view point
And you say it's wrong
You disapprove my opinion
But I know it's right
I am confident with my judgment
But there's no chance of a fight
I am not going to argue with you
No I wont criticize
I won't put you down
'cause I got a date
I have a plan and won't let it interfere
And set it off like dynamite
I am going to make it happen and make it big
And you'll say come here
You'll try to persuade me to your side
But I'll just stay
I won't budge from my stand
You'll say go a little
You'll suggest a little compromise
But walk there is a will there is a way
I know I can achieve it somehow
And there is no chance to sacrifice
I won't give up anything for you
When I know I am here
I am aware of my situation
And there is no doubts of islands
There are no uncertainties or reservations
I won't stay clear
I won't hesitate and I won't be unclear
And you'll all fall together
We'll all unite in the end
They'll all say, you say, stay I'll say
We'll be giving our different views
We gonna set it off like dynamite
We're going to make it happen and with a huge impact
Hurry up
Do it quickly
Put me up
Elevate me
Let me free of all your punishment that you have
Release me from your judgments
Let me free of all this destruction from me
Stop causing me harm
To you
The harm is being directed towards you
From me to you
I am causing you harm
From me oh to you!
I am intentionally hurting you
Oh oh
Expressing excitement and anticipation

When I am not affected by the emotion, this is the best reggae interpretation of this bassline I have heard till this point.

Actually I do understand what I am saying. Sublime died when Brad died. WORDS FROM BUD GAUGH HIMSELF... The drummer from the ORIGINAL and one and only Sublime.

I love Sublime, but ya... gotta agree with Danny Mac on this one, this song totally sounds like the Cure's Lovesong... and theres one riff that sounds like Babe I'm Gonna Leave You by Zeppelin.
