The lyrics on that site are very incorrect.

I love that song, but now that you mention it, I have no idea what it means. I guess it's about some dude trying to find a new girlfriend after the one he used to have went off with another guy. Kind of a dumb song to dedicate to the one you love.

That's a good question....

Maybe this guy is just a pothead. And he wants to get high with you and make out to it.

I really have no clue what it is about. At least it's clear what "Wrong Way" or "Date Rape" is about. But "Santeria"---not a bad song but really nonsensical!

Maybe the line "pop a cap in Sancho" is a reference to taking revenge on a lover's abusive ex. That is my best guess.

ha ha he probably doesn't know the meaning of it either Lil unless you cheated on him Lil (: i levee this song BTW

The song is about his girl cheating on him. He didn't see it coming because he doesn't practice Santeria (voodoo). Heina means a girl you are sleeping with. In Spanish, "Sancho" (roughly) translates to "the man who puts horns in a man's wife while he is away. Now he will kill the man when he finds him. I guess the guy just liked the song and heard him say "baby" and "love".

its about a guy whose girlfriend/wife (Heine......slang for queen....a term of endearment) ran out on him with another guy (Sancho......term for a guy who sleeps with another mans wife of ff)
he wants to get her back and is out for revenge

Santer?a, also known as La Regla DE Lukumi (Lukumi's Rule), and The Way of the Saints, is an Afro-Cuban religious tradition derived from traditional beliefs of the Yoruba people of Nigeria. The Santer?a/Yoruba tradition comprises a hierarchical structure according to priesthood level and authority. Orisha "Ole" or temples are usually governed by Orisha Priests known as Babalorishas, "fathers of Irish", or Iyalorishas, "mothers of orisha", and serve as the junior Ile or second in the hierarchical religious structure. The Babalorishas and Iyalorishas are referred to as "Santeros(as)" and if they function as diviners of the Orishas they can be considered Oriates. The highest level of achievement is to become a priest of Ifa (ee-fah). Ifa Priests receive Orunmila who is the Orisha of Prophecy, Wisdom and all Knowledge. Ifa Priests are known by their titles such as "Babalawo" or "Father Who Knows the Secrets" and "Iyanifa" or "Mother of Destiny." Ifa Ile or Temples of Ifa serve as the senior to all Orisha Ile in the Traditional Orisha-Ifa / Santer?a Community. The Sacred Oracle of Ika-Fun or Ika Ofun serves as confirmation. The "Seven Powers of God" or "Siete Potencia" are; Elegua, Oggun, Oshun, Chango, Obatala', Yemeya and Onrula. These are the most common Orisha names, especially in Cuba.
