Early in the morning
Risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette
And I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason
A reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason
why my money's all gone
I got a dalmatian
And I can still get high
I can play the guitar
Like a motherfuckin' riot

Well, life is (too short), so love the one you got
Cause you might get run over
or you might get shot
Never start no static
I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no
bulletproof vest
Take a small example
Take a tip from me
Take all of your money
Give it up to charity
Love is what I got
It's within my reach
And the Sublime style's
Still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you
You'll finally get what you deserve
Try and test that
You're bound to get served
Love's what I got
Don't start a riot
You'll feel it when
the dance get's hot

Lovin',
Is what I got
I said remember that
Lovin',
Is what I got
Now remember that
Lovin',
Is what I got
I said remember that
Lovin',
Is what I got

(That's) why I don't cry
When my dog runs away
I don't get angry
At the bills I have to pay
I don't get angry
When my mom smokes pot
Hits the bottle
And goes right to the rock
Fuckin' and fightin', it's all the same
Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane
Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me


Lovin',
Is what I got
I said remember that
Lovin',
Is what I got
Now remember that
Lovin',
Is what I got
I said remember that
Lovin',
Is what I got
