    The lyric in question “in two more she’ll be a whore”

    The entire song is about a well meaning guy being powerless to rescue a girl from an abusive family and a fucked up system.

    These motherfuckers are trying to slander him as a pedo.

      Not to mention Sublime had the song Date Rape that’s specifically about the perils of creepy dudes.

      Close reading is dead.

      cw SA

      If anything is problematic it’s “dateremoved” but honestly, at least for the time it’s pretty mild.

    He should be cancelled for that weak ass guitar riff after saying “I can play the guitar like a mother fucking riot” on What I Got, more than anything

      probably giving a white boy with a guitar too much credit but i always kinda assumed that was ironic

      He doesn’t play actually play that riff either, it’s Miguel that plays it in the recording.

    This is like trying to cancel Kurt Cobain for the anti-rpe song "rpe me".

      Guess I should have linked the comments. I missed that. All the replies though were not that.
