On the Sublime song "DJ's", what comes his way?

The story behind the answer

On Sublime’s song “D.J.’s,” competition comes his way.

“D.J.’s” is a track associated with Sublime’s early Long Beach ska-punk sound. The lyric describes DJs, music culture, and the competitive energy surrounding performers and selectors, leading to the phrase that “a little competition” comes the singer’s way.

The song is closely connected with Sublime’s 1990s catalog and appears on the band’s 1996 self-titled album. That record blended punk, ska, reggae, dancehall, hip-hop, and dub, making it difficult to place the group in only one genre. Bradley Nowell’s conversational delivery also makes individual lyric fragments easy to mishear.

A common mix-up is confusing “D.J.’s” with “Boss D.J.,” another Sublime song from the same period. The question asks specifically about “D.J.’s,” and the intended lyric answer is “competition,” rather than “music,” “rivalry,” or “a lesson.”
