	Badcards' style begins to take form with this track off of the debut full length CD, "Booze Schwah". After the experimental 5 song EP "Williams Town", the new CD displays a refreshing turn towards the reggae inspired segment of alternative music made popular by LBDAS, Sublime 311 and Slightly Stoopid.

	Story Behind the Song A true story about life turned around at a jai lai match in Tijuana Mexico. In a country where your rights are not what the are at home. A valuable lesson for all who travel to the South and carry with them the arrogance engrained in us a Americans! Lyrics Tijuana Jai Lai İ Badcard Music 2001 And it was one time Iıll never forget, Tijuana Jai Lai placing a bet. Police had caught me blind when they came up from behind and they said that I was under arrest. I said, ³Iım just having a drink² then he said heıd give me plenty of time to think about my crime, he said with a smile, then he showed me a vile. I said, ³that's not mine...donıt² Donıt deny, it only get you hung dry what is in the gunny bag now come with me lets go run come quietly now try to control its true, I said i'm sorry. I see a palm tree out of my window cell i see a blind man sipping on a pint of mescal with a half wooden leg he goes on like the last guy in jail - release me. I was set up like a stage buried deep in a rage and they were stealing my time as I rot in a cage did any of my friends see me taken away theyıre probably all back home gettin' some play. how much time am i doing here? and then my anger quickly got replaced with fear when the lights went down not a soul heard around but a wail so weird. How can I be here? donıt... Donıt look him in the eyes or it will be your last crime, freedom for the guilty man no you will know If they free me I will never come back what will it take to get my freedom. I never ment to cause no trouble, I only came to have some fun, I wonıt be coming back for a long long time! 2x I woke up in a daze smelly brown smoggy haze with the motha' fuckin'ı federales up in my face and theyıre trying to make me sign on the line for a charge trying to make a conviction on my vacation no I wont sign! I heard a loud sound that sound meant homeward bound when my buddies paid to get me out they wouldnıt let me go so they broke down the walls seems like society falls this is my life in the days in a Mexico border town. You played their little game, they never feel no shame, even when your right, your wrong! Will you ever learn my son? Now youıre out You should never go back Do I need to give one reason? I never ment to cause no trouble, I only came to have some fun, I wonıt be coming back for a long long time! 2x
