Default What is the song Santeria by Sublime about?

I don't get the lyrics of the song. Could somebody explain what they mean?

I guess it is about a girl who might be into voodoo, and talking about revenge either by Karma or violence (pop a cap in Sancho).

It's sort of about black magic and voodoo and such. Santeria it self is translated to "The Ways of the Saints". He is willing to try those things to get his girl back.

I don't practice Santeria
I ain't got no crystal ball
Well I had a million dollars but I, I'd spend it all
If I could find that Heine and that Sancho that she'd found
Well I'd pop a cap in Sancho and I'd slap her down
What I really wanna know (ah baby)
What I really wanna say, I can't define
Well it's love that I needReed soul will have to wait till I get back
Find a heina of my own
Daddy's gonna love one and all
I feel the break, feel the break, feel the break
And I gotta live it out
Oh yeah un-huh
Well I swear that I, what I really wanna know (my baby)
What I really wanna say, I can't define
Got love! Make it go
My soul will have to...
What I really wanna say (ah baby)
What I really wanna say, is I've got mine
And I'll make it
Yes, I'm going up
Tell sanchito that if he knows what is good for him
He best go run and hide
Daddy's got a new .45
And I won't think twice
To stick that barrel straight down sancho's throat
Believe me when I say that I got something for his punk-ass
What I really wanna know (ah baby)
What I really wanna say, is there's just one way back
And I'll make it
My soul will have to wait


its pretty much about a guy who wants his ex- gf back from another guy and how he wants to kill him. it insinuates that their mexican from the inference to the mexican religion of santeria and when he says "If I could find that heina and that sancho that she'd found"
