A Brief History

I remember when it started
Seems so long ago now
Sublime and Stoopid they led it
Then us and Reb came along
And now Stick's coming up hard
And Dirty's always been there
When Dan and Amy saw something
That all of us saw as well

I don't wanna lie to you
When it breaks my heart in two
I just wanna live forever
We all do
In every word I ever said
I'm telling you the truth
I don't wanna lie to you

We're all just following those
Footsteps from when we were kids
Like our first time in Hawaii
Like our first time in Brasil
Like our first time at the Grammys
I didn't win and I cried
I heard my man Elliott say
"Jake I love watching you try"

I don't wanna lie to you
When it breaks my heart in two
I just wanna live forever
We all do
In every word I ever said
I'm telling you the truth
I don't wanna lie to you

We're all just following our
Own path each day on this land
See, reggae music is really
On stage, but more in the stands
We all just start with Bob Marley
We all need reggae to dance
Driving for hours with Soja
Turned into driving for fans

I don't wanna lie to you
When it breaks my heart in two
I just wanna live forever
We all do
We all do
In every word I ever said
I'm telling you the truth
I don't wanna lie to roots
I don't wanna lie to you

I cannot lie in roots

To fall underneath the truth

I don't wanna lie to you
It breaks my heart in two to lie to you
I don't wanna lie to you
It breaks my heart in two to lie to you
