The Prophet - Slightly Stoopid

Track 3 from Meanwhile...Back at the Lab
Lyrics:
I never thought too much on wealth
to let me keep it for myself,
but while the world's been turning upside-down
it's hard to talk about.
Another bottle off the shelf
with the hand that you've been dealt.
What's going wrong's been going on
it's time for you to scream and shout.
And I aint no prophet
to cure some damn disease.
And would you help me anyway
if I was on my knees?
I'm going through my time of change
in my time of need,
and every little thing is gonna
be all the same.
I never thought too much on wealth
to let me keep it for myself,
but while the world's been turning upside-down
it's hard to talk about.
Another bottle off the shelf
with the hand that you've been dealt.
What's going wrong's been going on
it's time for you to scream and shout.
I went to that corner store
to get myself a bottle of beer.
I was rollin with a friend of mine
when the liquor was a little more clear.
I always knew what I wanted from the start
was a reason just to get out late.
Drinkin early was a dream for the summertime,
music, and my sweet Mary Jane.
I never thought too much on wealth
to let me keep it for myself,
but while the world's been turning upside-down
it's hard to talk about.
I never thought too much on wealth
to let me keep it for myself,
but while the world's been turning upside-down
it's hard to talk about.
Another bottle off the shelf
with the hand that you've been dealt.
What's going wrong's been going on
it's time for you to scream and shout.
What's going wrong's been going on
it's time for you to scream and shout.
It's time for you to scream and shout.
It's time for you to scream and shout.

[@Pangea_Abortion]

Yes

[@louislaplante5249]

Who's listening this fall?😔

[@jayhemmis382]

Chronchitis is still their best work. Still, this is better than anything on their previous album.

[@mikebruck4786]

Eh. Closer to the Sun in 2005 was incredible cover to cover. And even Everything You Need from 03 is really really hard to beat. And Not Quite Stoned Enough for Breakfast with all the bside and live tracks they've never recorded was so awesome. All if their music is unbeatable haha.

[@kevin-op7kd]

Agreed

[@kevin-op7kd]

All their music is the best

[@rastaray7275]

Just an observation, listen to Stoopid track & it's the same beat to What I got. Thinking Stoopid was leading towards a radio hit but why not...

[@trevnico]

this was actually sublimes song

[@masennakonieczny2377]

wasn't this song written like 20 years ago?

[@cherrymonica28]

Yes by Sublime. It's one of their rarities. Prophet (rarities) by Sublime

[@khurzog7125]

@@cherrymonica28 it's originally SS, it's the hidden track on the first CD (still intact on spotify, listen to "To a Party" @9:50) Bradley recorded the rarity cover right before he died.

[@danielleiva259]

Shat

[@SillyGoose2024]

Sounds a little like kid rock

[@alexmurta6436]

[@theclavious]

Alex Murta RAS MG from Sublime produced this track

[@alexmurta6436]

No shit. That's cool

[@enurtia1]

uannoyme74 lol how

[@enurtia1]

theclavious ras mg is fucking awesome

[@cherrymonica28]

SUBLIME WROTE THIS SONG FIRST. IT'S REALLY SAD THAT PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS OF THE SUBLIME SONG THINK SUBLIME COVERED THIS SONG BY SLIGHTLY STOOPID.. IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND.. SUBLIME WAS AROUND BETWEEN 92-96... 🤔💭 it's more than slightly STOOPID 😄 Badasss song anyway.

[@johnny1599]

3 years old comment, but I don't care because you were so sure that you were correct, what with the caps lock and the (not so) cheeky joke at the end. Slightly Stoopid wrote this song first. Actually Slightly Stoopid was still signed on to skunk records at the time. They were all good friends with the guy who owned the label. The story goes that the two guy's who owned Skunk Records had just released a pretty popular album on their label, and heard these guy's when they were still in highschool and signed them immediately. They grew to be pretty friendly with eachother. Of course Skunk Records was owned and opened by Bradley Nowell and Michael "Miguel" Hapoldt, who Brad sings about in a lot of their (Sublime) songs. The two bands supposedly grew to be pretty close, and this was a demo track written by Doughty, released as a hidden track on their first album, and while they were trying to fine tune it, Brad did what he did best, picked up a guitar, and just kinda made shit up as he went. They took a lot of inspiration from the rarities version in their finalized version, but the song was always Stoopids.

good. did a good job
