sublime - boss dj

i fucking hate how songs are cast away as being just songs about heroin, or other drugs. they see a needle and think it couldn't be anymore meaningful. well open up your mind, there's more to these songs that you ever thought possible. and i don't do heroin. i don't even do coke or take illegal prescribed pills.

for instance, boss dj by sublime, constantly misinterpreted and ignored as being "just about heroin." no - fuck you, there is something more to that song that everyone, not just junkies, could learn from.

there's a steel train coming through, i would take it if i could
and i would not lie to you because sunday morning soon will come

when things will be much easier to say
upon the microphone like a boss dj
but i won't walk up upon the sea like it was dry land
boss dj aint nothing but a man
no trouble, no fuss, i know why

it's so nice, i wanna hear the same song twice
it's so nice, don't wanna hear the same song twice

rumors are spreading all over town
but its just stones and sticks,
upon the microphone is where i go to get my fix

just let hte loving take a hold cuz it will if you let it
i'm funky not a junkie but i know where to get it

ooee girl and there really aint no time to waste
really aint no time to hate
aint got no time to waste, time to hate
really aint no time to make the time go away

so mister dj dont stop the music,
i wanna know,
are you feelin the same way too?

i wanna rock it with you-ou girl,
you-ou girl, you-ou girl, oooooo
mmmmmhmmmhhmmm
dont stop

cuz its so nice i wanna hear the same song twice,
its so nice i wanna hear the same song twice

nowadays all the songs on the radio,
they all,
all drive me crazy

he's trying to defend himself against people that just ignore him because he uses heroin. look, i'm no perfect person myself, i suffer from a few addictions - not to mention your legal, alcoholic one, but i will still listen to anyone that gets up on the microphone. i won't push anyones voice off to the side because they have resorted to drugs to hold onto their mind.

yes, they suffer from a disease, but fuck you, it's not all about the drugs. they take drugs for a fucking reason, maybe you should look and see just what has ailed him so much. maybe, to your startling conclusion, you will see that it is people like you anti-drug people that have made him so sad, so desperate, left feeling so alone when he had such genius.

maybe you are the true junkies. maybe you are just to blame for destroying beautiful lives as the heroin itself.
