In Chicano culture, a man who steals another man's girlfriend is often referred to as 'Sancho' while a man's woman or girlfriend is referred to as 'Heina', which is adapted from the word reina, meaning 'queen' in Spanish. The man then decides to find a new girlfriend, but expresses his desire to use violence as he describes his plans to 'pop a cap in Sancho' and 'stick that barrel straight down Sancho's throat' if he ever sees him again, and to 'slap her down.' The lead singer of Sublime, Bradley Nowell, refers to the man as 'Sancho' and his ex-girlfriend as 'Heina'.
