311 (pronounced "three-eleven") is an American rock band from Omaha, Nebraska. The band was formed in 1988 by vocalist/guitarist Nick Hexum, lead guitarist Jim Watson (who would later be replaced by Tim Mahoney), bassist Aaron "P-Nut" Wills and drummer Chad Sexton. In 1992, Doug "SA" Martinez joined to sing and provide turntables for 311's later albums, rounding out the current line-up.
To date, 311 has released ten studio albums, one live album, four compilation albums, four EPs and four DVDs. After a series of independent releases, 311 was signed to Capricorn Records in 1992 and released the albums Music (1993) and Grassroots (1994) to moderate success. They achieved greater success with their 1995 triple platinumself-titled album, which reached #12 on the Billboard 200 on the strength of the singles "Down" and "All Mixed Up", the former of which topped the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks in 1996. The band's next three albums, Transistor (1997), Soundsystem (1999) and From Chaos (2001), did not achieve the massive success of the self-titled album, though they were still successful, with the first going platinum and the last two going gold. Their 2004 compilation album Greatest Hits '93–'03 was also certified gold. The band's most recent studio album is 2011's Universal Pulse. As of 2011, 311 has sold over 8.5 million records in the U.S.

H to the E to the X to the U to the M
I'm Hexum, I always seem to vex them
Even when I really don't mean to
But I'm a brick house and you're a lean-to
I kick the positivity like a shipwreck on a raft
In a sea of negativity it covers them half
Half of the world, the figure is intact
Which way will you have an impact
Come back to your bro, do what your soul
But when you're in the mode just flow
I stick to the brick of the house of the funk
And the swing and the vibe of the reggae hip-hop
Sing it for the people not the chase it to the steeple
And whatever you do don't stop
I come and drop a clue from me to you
Like Fantasy Island Chad's got one tattoo
If you need to understand, Juan Bond is detective man
If you need to understand, Juan Bond is detective man

Damn
Miles I'm driving in the mach with mad
Not unlike a box I am
Endore how fox I am
Inferior spinning is my hand
I see a man like me stand
Between mirrors and seem myself go all in lieu of them
Flowing, I didn't know my soul dig
Becomes the body of another one
Constellation, the mirror is such a simple above collection
And the mic down in my eye
Today we're taking out Paris or say
Of the lands heavy spirit of ill descending
Oh my God I made a mess haul
See mercury fall from hands flung
Red, super and deadly as I step into an outer sea

Here's some advice, it's called A-B-C
This is your world, you can be anything
People look at me and think I know just what I am doin'
But half of the fuckin' time, I do not have a clue and
In any given situation I always say stupid things
Not as bad as P-Nut, but he's cool just the same
Norwegian, Scottish, Irish, and Mexican
And on the drums is the one Chad Sexton
Super phat beats that you just can't fuck with
Doin the type of shit, gonna have a good run
With the stupid motherfuckers and those party going thieves
Livin my life with them, 311 University
White Man In Hammersmith Palais - (3:51)
(A Clash cover song)
Midnight to six man
for the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and Leroy Smart
Delroy Wilson, your cool operator
Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae
With backing bands sound systems
if they've got anything to say
there's many black ears here to listen
But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right
charging from the bass knives to the treble
but onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel
onstage they ain't got no... roots rock rebel
Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack
jones'in won't get you anywhere
fooling with your guns
the British Army is waiting out there
an' it weighs fifteen hundred tons
White youth, black youth
better find another solution
why not phone up Robin Hood
and ask him for some wealth distribution
Punk rockers in LA
they won't notice anyway
they're all too busy fighting
for a good place under the lighting
The new groups are not concerned
with what there is to be learned
they got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny
turning rebellion into money
All over people changing their votes
along with their overcoats
if Adolf Hitler flew in today
they'd send a limousine anyway
And the all night drug-prowling wolf
who looks so sick in the sun
and the white man in the Palais
But you go lookin' for fun
I'm only looking for fun
oh please mister, leave me alone
and I'm only looking for fun
looking for fun
(breathing)
Ooh, what else can i do
Ooh, what else can i do
Ooh, face in a screw
Ooh racing to prove
You never remember
The blossom sender
Still in a Rub A Dub style
Long time you don't know what I'm doin' Whoa
Long time see troubles are brewin' yeah
Stick to the way you rock it and know that
you'll cope with that
Not gonna let it sit till i say, quot;how dope was thatquot;
Keep your head pumpin' till you get in the zone
not giving up, not going home
Stick to the way you rock it just do it real slow
Nobody can really say cuz nobody really know
only thing that matters if it's funky to you
You got a choice of what you can do
Here in the world
feel it flowing
river of life
on a human journey
dont be afraid
of becoming the sea
don't worry yourself
many stories will
be left untold
but understand
everything must go
Slow slow lover
rub you down
we don't want no one
hurting don't make a sound
oh livin' is a journey
walking believing running
for shelter now
slow slow lover
rub you down
we don't want no one
hurting don't make a sound
oh living is a journey
walking believing running
What's that you do
you're running around
there's people that need you
and you're letting down
and when it's time to care
you always leave town
don't hurry yourself
there's some wildness
there and mercy
it's the emptiness we
love touching
Chorus
Give thanks and praise
for good things you found
humble people
not ashames nor proud
and always try to keep
your feet on the ground
and love yourself
We were born in the seventies
The rippin and rhyming and brethren see
We're filling taste great
In the old school I was eight
Fot the new school I was late
But in high school I was debate
I rate in the great state of California
I'm warning ya
Je vais a la plage parce que le guignol est chouette!
I kick nonsense in French tasty like Crepe Suzette
I bet you're feeling famished for a 311 sandwich
Not the wack DJ's that I'm a damage
I like a beat that's unique and I like my head zooming
And in my Continental you know that shit's booming
With the diamond in the back suicide doors
You can look from here to eternity
And never receive your morsel.
Another tale of ordinary madness
The girl who gave you her sex I heard was homeless say
All I really wanna is to feel nirvana
Won't you take me tonight and we just might find
A bottle of wine and feel our nasty nature
Your toung lickin' up my tounge
Your radio pickin' up a smokey jazz love song
Madness becomes you even though your
Livin' life it's hard to exist when you're tempted
By flesh you wanna bust through
Beautiful legs in the bar there is poetry
She bends and suspends and her ass
Is a marvelous thing
A dance dancin' at a club the Hereafter
Who can't really dance but that doesn't really matter
And she won't hear applause
Cus your drunk and lost
All light is gone
Your arms spread like a cross
And you're dreaming that the world
Will soon fall apart
Topless firl in your gaze
Which is hazy
Takes your dollar
In the gutter without cigarettes
Or wine your hungover
I was warned of your normal
Behaviour and felt
My life was too short to
Consider your wack self
It's like this when you dip down
And you are boxin'
Reeling against the ropes and you
Face some young Mexican
Your scrappin' your kneck gets
Snapped back your eyes have bled
Your thinking' about a comeback
But your takin' it to the head
You little bastard
Better watch you back
Cuz we're after
Your punk ass by God we're gonna jack it
You're played out and small time
And your show is over
You're 'bout as lucky as a three leaf clover
And your older ho bag sceezer
In her droopy saggy skin
Who thoughtshe was a model
But in truth a never-has-been
You both are fools
You and your cheap rooms too
The cigar biting your lips the way love use to
It's one thing to make the same mistake twice
It's another thing to make it all of your life
It's one thing to make the same mistake twice
It's another thing to make it all of your life
The more you scream in your denial
the more you turn to your desire
na na na na...
After it's on fire, you'll be the end
na na na na...
Once was a curse gone bad I will admit,
same all the day
It's one thing to make the same mistake twice
It's another thing to make it all of your life
I'll steal a ??? while you're whining
and in a trap of your designing
Don't be so sure
Nobody knows where you were last
na na na na...
what did I think of, to find a true friend?
same all the day
It's one thing to make the same mistake twice
It's another thing to make it all of your life...your life...
another detour just goes by
falling into the abyss that has become your life
It's one thing to make the same mistake twice
It's another thing to make it all of your life
All of your life
Sound boy proceed to blast into the galaxy
Go back rocket man into the sky you'll see
Hear it all the time, come back rewind
Aliens are watching up in the sky
Sound boy proceed to blast into the galaxy
Sound boy when you come round
Sound boy won't you stay
No one gonna harm you
The all want you to play
I watch th birds of prey that
Hunt the canyon below my house
Looking for a meal like a lizard or a mouse
I wonder if they appreciate the setting like me
To control your own direction choose to be free
And i reserve the right to be as trite as i want
And you can lick but don't bite
I toss you here to vermont
I kick it lickety split
And hand it to the man in the tan van
And as for you and your crew i don't hate you
Peace is my priority 'cuz marley said for sure-ity
Just what do you think i'm doin'?
I'm not just here for screwin'
Yo and if it's sore take care of it
Perhaps from too much stucking
But anytime your aware of it then keep on fucking
You know we cool
Hey hey isn't that random?
When we come bout people get ready
Hey hey isn't that random, gonna freak do it national
Sound boy gonna rock you
People rock steady
Hey hey isn't that random?
To be the one who has it all is not that hard
And i'll be that type of dude in a funky car
I dream of a suit that will fit my rhyme
When i recognize my girl from a former life
I love it when the only sound that i hear
Is your infectious laughter
I will hear you again in 800 years
If i'm still lucky
Go north on outpost then take a left on mull-holland
To me that's where i like it and macapa drive is callin'
I get up to the sun and then i stretch out
Beginning to look like summer
And i'm down with no doubt. (swing)
CHORUS
I break a silly peace for offering
Rap weasel then i'm boffering
I'd give you an exclusive on my playlist
The thought and styles i kick are from a radom hat pick
That's why most radio will never play this tell 'em again
Me a rude boy from omaha nebraska
Sick as a porno flick yet gold as precious laugter
Many don't agree but we can't care about that
'Cuz we're never gonna wear the old hat. spoken
How many times will they do the same thing?
How do they get programmed to your following?
Everyone’s locked up in an invisible ring
The only way you can tell is reconsider everything
what if the truth that there is no truth
The only thing I can prove is there is no proof
Don’t be so sure that the source is correct
People believe it before they fully check
How many times can they tell you ‘till you just give them their way?
How many times can they say they made their one mistake?
everytime you will ignore your
heart it will come back twice more,
never deny your own instinct,
reconsider everything
Everybody has something they come from
Some just want grass, some make guano
Either way, you follow your female
Leading down the path of pure snow
Your fury flows for its own sake
But the purest light of truth remains for days
You go again for its own sake
But you’re still controlled by a choice that you’ve got them to make
Reconsider Everything x8
And I, I notice the tapestries on the wall as well
And I, I stand up and hit my head on the mobile
And you, you look around too
And we, time passes easily
I've opened up my mind
So you can step inside
You can expect to find
A scenic ride
Pointyhead pizzeria perfect penetration
Mezcal cuts off my brain communication
Belligerence, lost my intellegence
Talkin mess like shut up and listen to me
Because cuttin' through the crap is my specialty
Like a bomb I'm droppin yes a ton a lead
You're tryin' to figure out the last thing I said
I'm a Redwood, I love to be a tree yes I'm a Druid
My words they're flowin' out like a fluid
Never give in never conform
I'll be bustin out rhymes in a triplet form
Right Now
In another room, I sit and contemplate
That winter night, my words were filled with hate
In second sight, I should have known my fate
But it's allright, now we're in a different state
Chorus
Expiate, to make amends for hostilities
It's easy to see that for me, in reality
I'm not one of those fools
With an ecclesiastical whitewash
To set my ethical standards
You'll never cathc me lookin' to Ann Landers
Or Moses or the law or even Buddha
If there's one thing I know
It's always be true to myself
And learn from experience
Educated by nights of violence, trips to jail,
Broken knuckles and friendships
But that gives me the power to write a groove that rips
Right Now
I Am
Rollin' windows down kickback trollen
I'm holdin' and foldin' see no cold in the streets
Dirty looks - huh - we think it's funny
Workin' class rares scrounge up all the money
But we're coolin' in the middle June
I'm gettin' girls gettin' lit and I'm making up tunes
Believe that boy I'll bet I'll bet I'm trollen
Just lookin' for some trouble and we be rollin'
Now I'm a tell a tale to you straight
Gonna tell you a story
It's not a fairy tale and it gets a little glory
It happened one night when Tequila was full
We were walkin' to my car unaware unknowin'
I stepped up crossed the the street in no hurry
And what happens next - it gets a little blurry
This chump nearly hits me in a green pintow so I threw my bottle BANG!
It broke his window
He screeched to a halt jumped out of his car
I stepped straight to him gonna make him see stars yes
The situation was going to explode
Thought I should give him a warning said ya better hit the road
I knew it would be easy if i dagged him first
So I cracked him in the face all of the sudden with a burst
I hit im with a right then a left didn't land
But he turned his head and I broke my hand
Whatcha gonna do?
Do whatcha gonna
I got a cast on my hand and the girls think I'm a jerk
I can't play my bass and I can't go to work
This is a true story it all did happen
Better yet I regret that I'm rollin' up strappin'
Been two years now since this all took place
I learn from being stupid I learn from my mistakes
And now I'm livin' peace edifyin' and trollen
Can't say it wasn't fun in those days of rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin'
I believe in your purpose baby
Coming up to the surface and maybe
I'll never see you again then again who knows
Make me quiver hands will shiver
Still got all the things that i woulda give her
Yeah, yeah but it's slow going
Something's showing yeah, yeah
Love is a stream that will find it's own course
Making due is a thing a thing i will do no more
Whenever you come back i'll be waiting
Trifling the slack no head gating
This is all pure fiction you know that's right
Just pure fiction that's all right
I believe in your purpose baby
Coming up to the surface and maybe
I'll never see you again then again who knows
Make me quiver hands will shiver
Still got all the things that i woulda give her
But it's slow going something's showing
Yeah, yeah
I used to have this idea
That getting a silver medal wouldnt set me free
Oh but you know that I really dont need
Cash or fame or Credit
Nor a big fat bank account with no debit
So just set me straight,
Cause even your peace of mind just cant wait
I'll send a telegram marked urgent, urgent
I hope it gets to my door, my big big door
Im going free if they kill me
Cause this aint much better anyway
Just push it away
Push it away
Just push it away
Push it away
Push it away
Oh success, that elusive brainchild of breed
Something you want, not need
Face it, cause
Money cant buy true friendship or trust
And applause will never be any substitute for love
But not me man, check it out
I'll send a telegram marked urgent, urgent
I hope it gets to my door, my big big door
Im going free if they kill me
Cause this aint much better anyway
Just push it away
Push it away
Just push it away
Push it away
Push it away
Ooh you know we pepper you
With a sonic assault side step a you
I cannot think of a better way
That we could celebrate freedom
Than make up a set of goals and cold beat 'em
See dumb verbal tags like audio spaghetti
Give a shout to the one they call yeti
I bet he put the cabash on any foes whatsoever
Like original brodel Trevor
Positive vibe merchant grandson of Lord Buckley
Scotish ralston shows up if you're lucky
Ad raspler the sweed a friend in deed
He's keeping an eye on the other guy's gred
These are 311 characters I dubbed everyone
The story ain't over but my rhyme is done
It was the year that I first touched ground
So I grabbed the microphone and I got down
Just like James Brown gather round of our sight and sound
Pound for pound we throw down rather profound
I'll put you in another world I can't hear you
Like having phone sex with a deaf girl
No doubt we got the jams that'll smack ya
I penned three books of lyrics 2 for action 1 for backup
'Cuz I'm a cold rockin' brother got transistor tunes
And it feels real good to get close to you
The brodels is the nazz and the nazz knows where it's at
The brodels is the nazz who knows a cat who can feed a cat
The goal is to be a poet and a carpenter
To be one who loves to be one who works
The nazz not something that can be given
The brodel is inside you it comes from within
When I feel into the sea
When the world came and kissed me
Transformed my shit told the shark I was a dolphin
Swam quick funny though
Parranahs chilled and laughed at
The way that I took off my polka dots on top of that
The wales know I'm quick watch out
And I get funky fresh as for the fishes I'm lit luminous
I'm not nouveau techno I glow like a glacial
In skin that swims faster than speed
I am I be dropped out of nothing I will return to nothing
Rotate my style my rhyme my way magician of a rythm
Lover of animals damn I wanna hear 'em
Aquatic my way I got soul shape
Well I'm 6 foot 3 and like Mohammed Ali
I float like a butterfly and sting like poison ivy
Drive a 69 lincoln suicide doors
Around the town I'm slinking fat subs of course
we're the greatest show on earth
You know we turn it out daily
In and out of town like Baarnum and Bailey
I know that is a simile but I couldn't resist
From Solomon Roadie for the PJ's
I don't think he'll be pissed
I eat a cobb salad, smoked fish, duck, or clam chowder
Chill with indica and Guinness
Steer clear of white powder
I run into my brother give him a pound and a yodel
They know my word is bond talkin' bout the brodels
The brodels is the nazz and the nazz knows where it's at
The brodels is the nazz who knows a cat who can feed a cat
The goal is to be a poet and a carpenter
To be one who loves to be one who works
The nazz not something that can be given
The brodel is inside you it comes from within
And we're fresh dude just check my man P
He said I will not muddle my mind with impertinency
Lost a lot in vegas plays a lot of Sega
Saw a phrase that he likes and put it on his leg
And we're fresh dude just check my man D he said
Comin' in ruff and tuff all systems are tweakin'
People all over the world they must be thinkin'
All the shit that we kickin' our shoes must be stinkin'
There are days i wanna leave LA
I wanna break out the maze
Escape the dark haze these days
So many kids i know your feelin' crazed
Craze materials thangs and makin' slave wages
Baggy pockets only got laudry fluff
Livin' where rich people always buyin some stuff
So you try to act tough and hide what's inside
Hold your head high gettin fucked up and throwin' dice
As bad as yours and and bad enough i'm sure
My heart wants to love but must navigate through war
Cuz seein' that we're wired to short circuit
Must mean the meek who will inherit the earth
Already work it
There's a land by the sand grab the money
Plastic the life end of the century
People actin fake can't see the omens
Wake up yourself cause change is comin
Theres a land by the sand grab the Mountain Dew
Hollywood is such a place fuelin the frenzy
And everybody starts to peep around corners
Before they take their snapple they know thier borders
In this $19.98 plus shipping and handling type nether-
World everytime merchandise dips in our coffers
We buy that imagine that cost of livin' uh huh
The fakest shit and act cool our friends are watchin
Attention shoppers check the section in your reflection
Don't you feel so good does it enhance your fresh Complexion
You gotta have it you got to have it x2
As the world turns and all the money we burn
On the bullshit to make us happy sometimes we never learn
We're self centered we think we're better
We look down as a people upon our elders
Theres a land buy the snapple grab the money
Now let go of it cause its dissolving
It created all your fears and kept you hustling
Made you sever all the ties to your family
We bust the sound
the kids all gather 'round
and what's comin' from their radios
they all turn down
the creativeness
we are scientists
move 'em with soul
move 'em with this
and when the bass kicks
we get intimate
and with the music and the people
yeah, they're into it
takin' off, crusin' through the air
the sound is aerodynamic
let me take you there
However
I'm a cool and mellow man
always got a plan
copin' up problems
every time I can
I'd like to be known
as a great communicator
if you got beef
don't save it for later
I battle evil
weekly, monthly, yearly
but every step I take
the devil stays near me
otherwise maintain on the globe
just another space trippin' vato
You can't fade me
Massive yang and yin
on this earth we spin
and sometimes I gotta center
find out who I am
I chill out
I let in the wind
I gotta feel the force of the planet
on my skin
I got news for ya, it ain't nothin' nice
we all got demons, we all got vice
the struggle never ends
to keep it in check
but I never stop trying
to make the trek
whadup
Uh, uh
which one is it
who ya gonna believe
undivided in my material being
undivided life
you can't fade me
desperate the cling
I made to posetivety
stay gettin' it on
till the doubt is gone
if you could be dissuaded
you were dead all along
like, what's up now
you can't fade me
still in the same old trade
of positivity
Hexum, Sexton, Mahoney and Wills
We groove so fuckin' hard it gives you the chills
Well I've been stricken
The bass is kickin'
When suckers step to me, boy, I give them a lickin'
Chorus
Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, my baby
Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, my baby
I feel good
Yo bad self
Well, I am the Hexum, call me Nick
I live by the code of cosmic
I've come to say, we're here to stay
Utopian way we'll play today
We've got the drive, we are so live
Won't take a dive, we're gonna thrive
We got a condition called ambition
To the cosmic utopian thrivin' mission
Chorus
Witness this, yo the pissed lyricist
In your face celebratin' a brand new race
We know colors are just brothers and some others
Drive on the ginger but they failed to mention
The consequence of no conscience
You can't fool, I'm schoolin' you with the new school
Now speakin on a round, step back mother fucker, I'm goin' to town
Chorus
I feel good
Break it down
I got one more rhyme
Yes, the verbs I got
They hit that spot
The crowd is freakin'
And bro., I'm peekin'
When I'm on stage, you're havin' a fit
But without my brothers, baby, I ain't shit
Chorus
Instrumental
I will never understand you
when will I stop trying
I mean, cuz it's just not how I planned to
spend my time til' dying
I mean, champagne
California on the brain
she's got an appetite for no refrains
just verses, she curses as blood vessels burst in defiance
she made an alliance to the dark side of Hollywood
where everything looks good
so I treat her right as any other player would
lightly, then she wants to fight me
too bad, that's just too bad
I can't be around to pick up your bags and your debts
she wants to love me with threats
not taking chances, I'm hedging my bets
with other girls I'm not providing pearls
I'm free, free
I will never understand you
when will I stop trying
I mean, cuz it's just not how I planned to
spend my time til' dying
I mean
I know loving me isn't easy
I'm home and next thing I'm leaving
but when I look at you it's like praying with my eyes
I follow you to sleep so I will find
your dream place and hey, I'm not an angel
but girl you make me feel like I know one, one
Champagne
California on the brain
she's got an appetite for no refrains
just verses, she curses as blood vessels burst in defiance
she made an alliance to the dark side of Hollywood
where everything looks so good
so I treat her right as any other sucker would
lightly, then she wants to fight me
too bad, that's just too bad
I can't be around to pick up your bags and your debts
she wants to love me with threats
not taking chances, I'm hedging with my bets
with other girls I'm not providing pearls
I'm free, free
never understand
I want the words
something you haven't heard
will I find them and
will I have what it takes to say them
in the world beside
this one there are no lies and
no suspicion
only dreams without end
You gotta feel what I mean
Look into my eyes and know
I'm trying to come clean
But I stumble every time
And then the words they escape
fail to take shape
It's all in the code now (come again)
Feel what I mean
Look into my eyes and know
I'm trying to come clean
But I stumble every time
And then the words they escape
fail to take shape
It's all in the code now
Will you let me retract let me take it back
Sometimes my words lack and my mind flies off the track
What I'm trying to convey is miles from what I say
And you slip away
In life there are times
when nothing will rhyme
there are days I slip
when I know I should climb
breakin' the vows I swore I'd never break
a harsh word a white lie easy to mistake
where have you been
haven't you noticed
there's no map that exists
to point us out of this
my heart was the target
it found your arrow
baby you know I want to be
your straight and narrow
I been trying to transmit a feeling
I been hoping you receive what I'm revealing
See the main thing is hang with me and relate
As we communicate watch out
Fenced in like a dog between houses
Balled up by the trouble my mouth gets
Wrapped up in the things that I don't know
don't you know
Hoping that you crack the code oh
The first to crack the code
(You may not think I'm ready to have your love again) oh oh
(You may not think I'm ready)
You are the first to crack my code
I want the words
something you haven't heard
will I find them and
will I have what it takes to say them
You gotta gotta feel what I mean
Look into my eyes and know
I'm trying to come clean
But I stumble every time
And then the words they escape
fail to take shape
It's all in the code now
Didn't I know I'm wrong wrong wrong when you knew
You didn't have to give me so long long long to see through
Not predictable what I will do but you know
Cause you cracked the code
Your body is a country
that you know I'll return to
craving like a family heirloom
that I am into
no baby how could I follow
everything you do
just remember when we touch
I feel so renewed
The first to understand me that would be you
It can't work if we can't be open and true
The best thing to happen to me let it be told
That would be the moment that you cracked my code oh oh
The first to crack the code
(You may not think I'm ready to have your love again) oh oh
(You may not think I'm ready)
You are the first to crack my code
You got to
You got to
Come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers

To come original it ain't nothin' strange

Black Eyed Peas they comin' full range and
NOFX they comin' full range and

A warning to the crews out there who think they're hot
If you're not original rockers you will get shot
Down by the kids neglectin' you art, the stuff you did
Eventually it get so bad puts you to bed
Cuz when the lightning flashes sweet electricity
All the world then stands revealed with the clarity
Of raw voltage, briefly we see and the hope is
You'll be able to tell just what dope is
Come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers

Funk slap bass mixed with the dancehall and
Hip-hop beats and punk guitar and
Deadly on the mic is the one SA
The name is 311 and you know it ain't easy
This is not a test there's no time to mope
How you gonna cope with radioactive isotope
And boss DJ illness upon you now quickly
Infecting you fast upon the airwaves
This message brought to you by the so large system
Activate and attune yourself with mediation
And green plants they've got mad life they're sentient
They're beautiful as you and they like to dance
Everything we do we gotta come original
Put your hand up in the air and prepare for battle
Sit upon the rhythm like a tire upon a rim
We do it non-stop and then we do it again
Some of them whine and some a them bitch
They can not do it never switch
Comin' up from the heart and
Delivered with a wild pitch
Sit up on top the rhythm like a wild stallion
This is the ruling system
Come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainters come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original

Come original
It is a gift I know
A moment of bliss that we hold
A firecracker flash of light then on
To the next plane soul remain
Come along if you dare
It's gonna be that you're scared
Lovely life I thank you
For the reason to see the pain through
Light a candle for the dead
The wick is burning returning what we have
It's who we are
We'll reach you if you're beyond the furthest star
Don't give up the fight to stay alive and even if
you have to
Find the reason of another's pain if they lose you
If not for your self then those around who care
like I do
One day you'll see the clear blue
Beyond the Gray Sky
Light a candle...
The wick...
It's who we are...
One day youill see the clear blue
Beyond the Gray Sky
I can't believe you didnit call
What made you want to end it all
Wasn't there something I should have tried
To help you see beyond the gray sky
Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two
The one with old wood creaking that would burn away right on cue
I try to be not like that but some people really suck
Some people need to get the axing chalk it up to bad luck
I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She's always running from something so many things ignored
I might do that stuff if it didn't make me feel like shit
I'm on some old reality tip so many trips in it
Beautiful disaster
Flyin' down the street again
I tried to keep up
You wore me out and left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
You're a butterfly in the wind without a care
A pretty train crash to me and I can't care
I do I don't whatever
I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She's always running from something so many things ignored
I try to be not like this but I thought it'd make a good song
There's nothing to see shows over people just move along
Beautiful disaster
Flyin' down the street again
I tried to keep up
You wore me out and left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
You're a butterfly in the wind without a care
A pretty train crash to me and I can't care
I do I don't whatever
Just sever that leash and release
your freedom of speech
you just have to believe
your deed will be received
somehow, somewhere
you won't be repaid with a blank stare
let me know if you dare
There's no one that could cure you
like she does (she does)
no one could leave you so alone
(Cuh, cuh, come on)
Here I goes, my vibe is holy, my eyes close
either I'm asleep or what I'm thinking is deep
eventually I sigh and then I kick the sheets
and try to piece together why I'm here
nothing except my own damn eyes and ears
and then it sever so I listen to my heart always and ever
if it's not good it might get better
if it's not good it might just sever
I tell you money there's other honey
you always show it but you don't know it
staring at the door thinking about the mess you're in
in your couch sinking deep over the girl that's gone
Just sever that leash and release
your freedom of speech
you just have to believe
your deed will be received
somehow, somewhere
you won't be repaid with a blank stare
let me know if you dare
Now all you think about her
drink about her in vain
but all else feels
like you're betraying
We're wakin' it up face up, and shakin' it up
we know of an extended field
this is the deal
for letting and getting the vibes that we want
open up your heart
and proceed to feel
now you're inchin' up
to the summit never plummet
boot your system up
and then bail with the middle finger up
why are you so abrupt, baby don't be corrupt
Standin' in the club playin' the wall
but they're not her is all
you think, and that is true
but what else can you do
trying to turn back time
or just tow the line
cause the space you're in
is no place like home
It seems uncertain
I wish it was forgone
To know the version
That made life go wrong
Wish I had a clue
What rearranged our molecules
Mostly wondering
It seems uncertain
In times of trouble
Everyone joins a team
No one waves a flag
For all human beings
No one's excited
Unless they are divided
Someone's going to have to give in
It seems uncertain
I'd like to be
One of the faithful millions
But what I see
Is an excuse for the killing
Your denomination
Should be a private thing
How about a spirit
For all human beings
How could something well guided
Turn out to be divisive
Mostly wondering
It seems uncertain
Head rush
come on, we take the stage
and what's up, it's on
this is a blow up
so just listen up
just take your mouth off interrupt
we came to throw down
it's a showdown
and you know why, we never lie
get the lowdown son
we're mashin and bashin
the stage we're crashin
if you're on the roof
I know you're dancin
I bet we get the people jumpin overseas
and I know why you're bustin mp3's
the shit shit shocker
the hiphop rocker
wiser than Baraka
stronger than Chewbacca
KISS never did this nor Ozzy Ozbourne
shakin that ass and shakin your firstborn
back to the future and past to the front
we appear like adrenaline it's just that blunt
Two score and five we came alive
a minor blow up has started
a song for the newly sane and
the broken hearted
Head rush
come on, we take the stage
and what's up, it's on
from midnight til daylight
you best believe that we're sick tight
you're cryin' bout your life
I think it's absurd
what could be so bad
you come from the suburbs
just like me
but I could never despair
most people in this world
ain't got shit to spare
suckas look up to thugs
they like the attitude
but fuck that
I'm talkin' gratitude
they harder they act
just to hide their insecurity
I'm talking honestly
we are assuredly
dope, I smoke it
but not everyday
cuz anything all the time's
a drag I say
three eleven you want to get next to them
my name's Nick H, E, X, U, M
Two score and five we came alive
a minor blow up has started
a song for the newly sane and
the broken hearted
we keep an eye for each other then again
our known associates endure
we make a sick tight connection when we
see our true people on tour
Head rush
keep it going now
you know we get it right
we keep it flowing now
we're sick tight
We keep an eye for each other then again
our known associates endure
we make a sick tight connection when we
see our true people on tour
Head rush
keep it going now
you know we get it right
we keep it flowing now
we're sick tight
Not the back of a gentle mother
I do like a manhole cover
It keeps on pounding my head
We'll order water
Torture sauce and economics
Every day just more comics
In a pissing contest
That started out with atomic bombs
Mom will they drop the bomb
Will they think about their children's children
Be a forwardless mess and this
No one to call
You can't make them stall
I want to feed them to each other
Cause I'm sick of them all
How can't you see something's missing
Is anyone listening
We're shooting up flares
Does anyone care
They got this world locked down bound and gagged
From the reds in Pine Ridge to that land in Bagdad
When did our leaders
Become bottom feeders
We're shooting up flares
Does anyone care
They got this world locked down bound and gagged
With constant fear and paranoia toxins in our head
It's just something they know how to do
How to make everyone feel uncalm
The masses just take it while they turn the screws
Bring to a boil, add oil, then bomb
It's just something that we got to fight
How to make everyone feel uncalm
Keep us distracted with ??
Porno shows, MTV hoes, and all the radio
It's the same fucking song
That's just the way it goes
Cold turkey world to democracy's girls
From the rules of engagements sweet heart
This is the world
How can so many sit silent
Enough to the violence
We're shooting up flares
Does anyone care
They got this world locked down bound and gagged
The Botox, Barbie dolls, and magazine ads
It's just something they know how to do
How to make everyone feel uncalm
The masses just take it while they turn the screws
Bring to a boil, add oil, then bomb
Embodying all that we know to be wrong
How to make everyone feel uncalm
When a war chant becomes a popular song
You know patience pushing a dream brings my demons to life
Songs are vacations our soul salvation will you
Suspend your disbelief I'd like to be the, thief
That steals that jaded necklace that you're always wearing
I'd take that thing and with my knive I'd start pairing so
Chop chop piece piece and send it to the raiders of LA
There are so many this land of plenty
The things we lack straight square within our grasp
Ever you do ever you think
Whether you're brown or you're pink
I think not thinkings better bout it
When you stop to think
The jaded ones will wither
While the optimistic grow
I settle that a bet will let a large amount
So indulge me just for a minute imagine no one holdin out
All trying for peace my brothers down
Some others down it happens slow
think you should know the direction that the world go peace
They number six to make them feel like men
They one up us cuz we're much to much for them
OK the method to the mischeifs over there then
Sike shazam we strike with the lightnin
Through space we move and emit an ill tracer
We're set to light your world kid we're your maker
Check it our karma plus the avant garder
Style of out sect wise to ways comes to wreck
While the masses mill around curse in anguish
311 stompin' em down with the quickness
We see all the crews that be comin' around now
Takin' they notes to get our sweet ass style down
Fending off the foes that try to shut us down
Like the warrior souls we are we never give in
So what we call is dope we know will come around
Chill in Southern Cali Y'all that's how we livin'
We spend our lives learning
If you like learning life is large
It could never be only the ups
The downs will always come around yeah yeah
Like a drive through Estes Park you savor the sun
But when the clouds come make animals
Just sever that leash and release
Your freedom of speech
You just have to believe
Your deed will be received
Somehow somewhere
You won’t be repaid with a blank stare
Let me know if you dare
There’s no one that could cure you
like she does (She does)
No one could leave you so alone
(Cuh, cuh, come on)
Here I goes

If it’s not good it might just sever
I tell you money there’s other honey
You always show it but you don’t know it
Staring at the door thinking
About the mess you’re in
In your couch sinking deep
Over the girl that's gone
Just sever that leash and release
Your freedom of speech
You just have to believe
Your deed will be received
Somehow somewhere
You won’t be repaid with a blank stare
Let me know if you dare
Now all you think about her
Drink about her in vain
But all else feels like you’re betraying

When a war chant becomes a popular song
I was at this club minding my tea
I saw this pretty young thing so I thought that I would see
I don't smoke but I asked her for a cigarette
I know it's lame but I haven't got a better one yet
She danced so fine, I will gladly admit
She grinds divine, but I still cannot forget
That slinky girl is in my brain
Now I'll never be the same
No one can ever see
What that slinky girl means to me
So I'll just pretend
But I feel like
Mackadocious she's sweet and precocious
She's the one girl that I just dig, love, yes I'm not above this
You think that's wack then bro you lack
You bore me that macho crap makes me snore, see, me,
I'm all about the females, the women, the jewels of this world
Those flowers like that slinky girl
That slinky girl is in my brain
Now I'll never be the same
No one can ever see
What that slinky girl means to me
Well I met her one night I'd seen her before
She stole my brain then showed me the door
Girls that do me like that there's not many
But I've met one, that's plenty
I'm glad to say that she gets her way
She can move me and that's okay
Has the power to turn paper inky
The girl has me and she's so
That slinky girl is in my brain
Now I'll never be the same
No one can ever see
What that slinky girl means to me
All through the scandel
Of the small own scene
I always handle
You like to think my spirit is weak
I thought you knew
I thought you knew, it was gonna be this way
I guess I thought that cuz I told you every day
I know you’re tryin’ to suck my soul
Well I’m sick of the chinks and I’m sick of the bars
I’m sick of the sea and blows to the stars
I’m sad yea its getting me mad
Hah, I’m tired of you pulling on me
It makes you look foolish and why you can’t see
That its weak, just stand on your feet
Get your arms off my shoulder
And get a little older you
Wait life’s a creep it’s a good life with me
So take me
But you cannot, cannot suck my soul, no
Check it out
Well the soulsuckers must be
Circumnavigating
Well the soulsuckers must be
Circumnavigating
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigating’
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigating’
But I promise you, I promise you
I will do what I want to anyway
You’re out of luck
Cuz the souls that you suck
You’re nothin so I say
Make peace with me
Cuz I’m sure that you’ll see that its no big deal to me
I wish you the best
Move on and test without me
Or someone like me
Cuz you cannot suck my soul
Well you know the time
You always are tryin’
To flip your wings
And make you not lyin
Its lame its always the same
It’s human instinct to look to inside
It takes mental dexterity to keep open eyes
Its true it happened to you
Its sad to be talkin
While others do the walkin to the Promised Land
The way that you creep
Makes you look like a yeast
So tell me
But you cannot, cannot suck my soul
NO, no
Cuz the soulsuckers must be circumnavigating
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigating
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigating
Check it out
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigating
Sometimes jacks rule the realm
Can't you tell
The swimmers drown
Without a sound
A chalkboard scratching sound
Could craze the town
An emperor's clothes
Never be exposed
I took it as a compliment
Regardless what they meant
It could have been innocent
Spent, so spent
Railing against undeserved
Dangling precipitants
Raining down idiots
Always flapping in the
Flapping in the wind
I took it as a compliment
No matter what they meant
Could have been belligerent
Could have been half percent
Could have been wanting
Afraid to have been caught promising
Ended up taunting me
I can't change that
I can't change
I can't change that
I can't change
I'm watching you
Not sure what's true
Life can be so cruel
There's nothing you can do
But it fades...
Only to return
I feel your eyes burn
I really am concerned
Sometimes jacks will rule the realm
Sometimes jealousy will dwell
You can't begin to dispel
When you can not even tell
What makes me act the way I do
And why am I asking you
What makes me act the way I do
And why am I asking you
What makes me act the way I do
And why am I asking you
Sometimes jacks will rule the realm
Sometimes jealousy will dwell
You can't begin to dispel
When you can not even tell
Sometimes jacks will rule the realm
Sometimes jealousy will dwell
You can't begin to dispel
When you can not even tell
Word up, I'm talking to you
I'm making dope rhymes, that's what I do
Like a mad man, you know it's bad man
I slam a good goddamn
Well I've been burned so goddamn badly
I could just sit and sing the blues
But instead I'll make a fist, yeah
And make my own good news
Take my advice, yeah
You'll pay the price
Make it funky like this...
Good god.....Damn
I drop a syllable like "yo"
What else is dissin' me
Huh, it's pissin me off
Rock me baby, WHAT!?
You don't mean that crap
But what the hell, if it sells
Damn, you're a sham
No thank you ma'am, BITCH!!
Oh, I've been burnt badly
I could just sit and sing the blues
But instead I'll make a fist, yeah
And make my own good news
Take my advice
You'll pay the price
Make it funky like this!!!
Good goddamn, tell you what, alles klar
And the nightmare of publicity begins
This is the time to find who are your true friends
I drain my brain, to be original
Build character, aboriginal
American music is what I grew into
To my detractors Fuck you!!!!
I say we fear no evolution
Stand up, musical revolution
Follow me because we can never stop
And we'll never give
Cause this is how, we breath and live
And some of them whine
And some of them bitch
They cannot do it, we'll never switch
We do it for ourselves, we do it for you
If you don't like it well, I hope you do
My name is volatile
I€™ve been this way a long while
I€™d surely like to rest
But the energy gets the best of me
Check it out
It€™s been a wild ride
I wouldn€™t change a minute
I can€™t slow down inside
Guess that€™s why I live it
Watch it now
The years of mischief
Followed by weeks of thrift
I land on earth€™s hard face
No legs could keep that pace
And through the rest I sift
Is there ever a time?
When the state of sleeping willingly leaves my mind
Highly frustrated wanna feel elated
Come Monday morn you feel checkmated
You can be uncool and become the rule
Exceptions were made to drown
I€™m not used to it, you€™d think I€™d be by now
The ins the outs the ups and the downs
I wanna make a mess
I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire
Just creatures for a while
I wanna make a mess
I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire
Just creatures, just creatures
It comes and goes and comes and goes
Sometimes I go a little crazy
Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do
I know what you were gonna say
You were afraid to cause dismay
Your lyrics switched around
The mixture watered down
And now a pointless display
It€™s something one won€™t understand
Unless they're in it with me hand in hand
Don€™t buy the fear don€™t buy that my dear
The things you love you must keep near and
Carry on and you won€™t feel withdrawn
Even if you€™re coming down
Sometimes it€™s wearable sometimes is bearable
I careen towards balance til€™ the glass is full
I wanna make a mess
I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire
Just creatures for a while
I wanna make a mess
I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire
Just creatures, just creatures
It comes and goes and comes and goes
Sometimes, sometimes
I get a little out there
Sometimes I go off
Sometimes just like you
Watch it now (whoo)
I go a little crazy
Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do
Sometimes I go a little crazy
Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do
Stranger flowers yet
There will never come a day that will ever regret
The hours days years and the minutes
The joy the pain the sunshine and rain in it
The drives on the coast to nowhere
Nothing to say just sit and stare
There's nothing like the comfort of a silence that's comfortable
Not talking small just skip the bull
Then I find myself in servility
Didn't think that was my ability
I go a yard and a mile to make you smile
But then I'm happy see
I got so many ways to make your gaze elliptical
Got a ways to go future's so
Criptical and I'm glad
Just another many things we've had
It's 8:16 A.M. will you wake up to me
The first thing that you see
My eyes open I'm just hopin' you feel the same as me
The day starts carefully
On the sidewalk with the dog
You're right last night I was a hog
Come on I'm sorry
It's 73 degrees
January easily glides
Stranger flowers still
If you're gonna wanna go another day I will
Like this make it a deal
Sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a fell of impermanent bliss
Today my love we shall let the world slide
Turn off the ringer and just glide
For we shall never be youger again than
What do you see
It's 8:16 A.M. will you wake up to me
The first thing that you see
My eyes open I'm just hopin' you feel the same as me
The day starts carefully
On the sidewalk with the dog
You're right last night I was a hog
Come on I'm sorry
Holiday on the radio
Billie knows that is the way to go
A place where we both can spend out saved time
Not collecting interest
Maybe the same reason we always find ourselved home bound
I've got to do some homework
The leave response we want to leave Wisconsin
For a new life a new trailer with an antenna and a porch
Of course we'll bring the dog
Don't let me down, don't let me down again
Don't let me down, don't let me down again
Don't let me down, don't let me down again
Don't let me down, don't let me down again
Swelled up eye's oh my the girl got beat
And the stupid mother fucker who made you think so
That punk is a coward let that be told
I hear voices in the night that are electric
He kicks theshit out of her because he's heartless
She won't leave she has low self esteem
He's got gravitational pull
Sucks her body till her heart and her limbs grow cold
Hang in there use your head
How can i love you after you're dead
Hang in there keep trying
How can i love you after dying
Here's what you got to tell him
I'm thinking of a picture that's keeping me in stitch
You're causing me a mental glitch
'Cause jealousy is such a bitch
I hereby emancipate myself from that
You can consider yourself free to flirt and chat
With whoever you want
It should have always been that way
The way that you flant the way that you play
My mind is blank slate i'm pretending you're erased
You cannot let me down when i cannot see your face
CHORUS
Ode to a beat up girl, i know you're out there
Stronger than you think, stand up if you care
Get up off the ground, don't let me down
Get up off the ground, don't let me down
CHORUS
And you, i'm a let you pass without kicking you're ass
Because i'm above it you hurt someone i love
It takes two to make a thing go right and that's trite
But one just to sneak and weasel through the night
If you hurt her again i'll fuck you up
If you hurt her again i'll fuck you up, fuck you up
If you hurt her again i'll fuck you up
If you hurt her again i'll fuck you up, fuck you up
Life could slip away in absent minded numbness
I'm only sayin this 'cuz I wish for the best
When you always stay in self-incarceration
I thinks it's such a shame
Don't stay home this time no don't stay home
If he don't have to he don't want to
Don't stay home this time no don't say no
Oh how I'd like to diffuse your time bomb anger
It's screaming danger danger this kind of world
Don't care if you're home so you better get some
Don't stay home this time no don't stay home
If he don't have to he don't want to
Don't stay home this time no don't say no
Everything I'm sayin' you can dismiss
Because I sat alone on this past Christmas
I deserved to be alone
But I guess I should have gone home
Hey don't break the mold kid just eat around it
Yeah that's what I did
I'll be running around the block
For no apparent reason
Somethin' you'll catch me doin' in any season
Gotta break a sweat man gotta go bust out
Biddy by by by by
Good-bye to the drout, yea
Don't stay home this time no don't stay home
If he don't have to he don't want to
Don't stay home this time no don't say no
Don't stay home this time no don't stay home
If he don't have to he don't want to
Don't stay home this time no don't stay home
Long time did I run down like that
I would have three years ago-today but not now
It's not like that
It's all right to feel good
It's all for nothing to be wrong
The deepest dream that we have
Could be tomorrow's song
Just what did he say stop
1 and 2 and 3
Run up the hill do as you do
I'm going to chill you know you really
Ought to do the same
They wanna bug you
But I won't let them today
It's a sure shot to the bomb drop
Every single
You know you swing
it and you fling it
And you make some shit up but
It's just 123
Chill. light on my sight as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
While i scatter my spit i dream of juice
Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kiss that made your day or say
Play a track from your record collection
It's your mix, congratulations
We've changed a lot and then some some
Know that we have always been down down
And if i ever didn't thank you you
Then just let me do it now
I bet you light up when we start the show follow me now
Very closely because i told you so you know
We glow because we throw sun rays
We be freaky and we wanna stay
CHORUS
Lightning strikes yo we be in that violent force of light
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolemite
'Cuz we're dope kidchange like a chameleon
And the channel whenever that wack show real world is on
You know we dazzle likeghetto box boomin' battles
Rattle inside your head feel redeemed like cola bottles
Fall in love with you teachers on the wax
We are self made check the technique 311 in LA
CHORUS
Keep my feet on the ground
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
Comes from the down
CHORUS
Before you're pointing at me
There is a possibility
You better turn that thing around
A fist comes easily
So don't you tread on me
Cuz I will knock you down
Some days it seems not worth it
The fight in me is all gone
And I'm not trying to be perfect
But get just one damn thing done
Before I lose control
I pick myself off the floor
My name is volatile
I've been this way a long while
I'd surely like to rest
But the energy gets the best of me
It's been a wild ride
I wouldn't change a minute
I can't slow down inside
Guess that's why I live it
The years of mischief
Followed by weeks of thrift
I land on earth's hard face
No legs could keep that pace
And through the rest I sift
Is there ever a time
When the state of sleeping willingly leaves my mind
Highly frustrated wanna feel elated
Come monday morn you feel checkmated
You can be uncool and become the rule
Exceptions were made to drown
I'm not used to it, you'd think I'd be by now
The ins the outs the ups and the downs
I wanna make a mess
I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire
Just creatures for a while
I wanna make a mess
I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire
Just creatures, Just creatures
It comes and goes and comes and goes
Sometimes I go a little crazy
Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do
I know what you we're gonna say
But were afraid to cause dismay
You're lyrics switched around
The mixture watered down
And now a pointless display
It's something one won't understand
Unless there in it with me hand and hand
Don't buy the fear don't buy that my dear
The things you love you must keep near and
Carry on and you won't feel withdrawn
Even if you're coming down
Sometimes it's wearable sometimes is bearable
I careen towards balance til' the glass is full
I wanna make a mess
I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire
Just creatures for a while
I wanna make a mess
I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire
Just creatures, just creatures
It comes and goes and comes and goes
Sometimes
Sometimes I get a little out there
Sometimes I go off
Sometimes just like you
I go a little crazy
Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do
Sometimes I go a little crazy
Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do
I wanna do what's right
be kind to everybody
open up to light
let it flow through
my body
But sometimes
I'm unsure
I tell my baby
I'm slippin' into darkness
I'm creepin' into darkness
I don't want to start this
I'm attracted to darkness
Be positive with life
see the godd in everybody
But sometimes
I'm unsure
I tell my baby
There's something going on
In my heart
I feel it weigh me down
so i reach up for
wide blue sky
try to pull it into
the deep arc of my arms
Brainstorm,
Take me away from the norm
I got to tell you something
This phenomenon
I had to put it in a song
And it goes like
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
You ought to know what brings me here oh
You glide through my head blind to fear
And I know why
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
You live too far away...
Your voice rings like a bell anyway...
Don't give up your independence,
Unless it feels so right,
Nothing good comes easily,
Sometimes you got to fight...
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
Launched a thousand ships in my heart, so easy
Still it's fine from afar,
And you know that...
Whoa, brainstorm (brainstorm)
Take me away from the norm
Whoa (whoa), I got to tell you something
If there's a scream inside of you
Just let it go
You're beating yourself up baby
Don't you know
You've got to get through
And lift the roof off your soul
It's like the pain locked
In the part of your heart
It's never gonna leave it
Unless you start
To warm it up
Be wise and be smart
Out on the ocean
There's no one around
No one to hear a sound
It's just us out here
Out on the ocean
Speaking free
Away from the city
Away from the ears that
Bug us and judge us
It's so liberating
To be free
And my heart slows down
Nice and easy
And your breathing will be pleasing
Just speak easy
And say what's on your mind
I search for something
To compare you to
Thought long and hard
For a simile true
Now I'm suddenly aware
In the quest you're beyond compare
So speak easy
If there's a shadow in your life
Then there's sunshine
Things turning inside out
All the time
Just rewind
It's all in your mind
Oh so speak easy
Out here we're floating
Late in the night
And the only light to guide us is a
Full moon that's glowing
On the sea
Nice and easy
And your breathing will be pleasing
Just speak easy
And say what's on your mind
I search for something
To compare you to
Thought long and hard
For a simile true
Now I'm suddenly aware
In the quest you're beyond compare
So speak easy
Speak easy
Speak easy
Speak easy
I am a music lover and some how i get paid
This song would still exist if no money was made
That's the difference
I summed it up in a sentence
I'm sittin' here perfectly still cuz I've got
No p;ace to go
Be about two months until we light up
the show follow me now
I sing of Spring it's a marvelous thing
What else swing the thing you bring
Yo i gotta say hola
Orange county to Angola
I go back to the beat
It never lets me down
Zone in and let it Rola
I deem stream of sweat that connects me to you
I still be about that thing you do
We dip dip dive and herbalize
I don't look over my shoulder but i know
there are spies
But then long time crew
stuck like glue
You never let me down
Always came through
Always kept the flow
Even when you didn't know
Don't ask us
We make it up as we go
Chorus
Seems like people are the viruses
and earth is simply tired of us
so many headz what if something would give
and kill off our race
maybe diseases from space
arriving from a comet
with a trail left for the planet
say the wake it created was the start of the end
filled with spores that we engineered
plant pathogens
what's in the future for the view is many changes
humans could be in danger
what would you eat to be a remainder
as your food is maimed
to take you out the frame
some would vaporize
some would remain
the same suckers with no cares about
the wave of the world i feel
their lives are destined for hard times too
There's a parallel universe that might be blocked
but by emotion we put in to it we could unlock
I'm not sayin' we could escape fate tunneling in this vast
untranslatable energy filled of dust and ash
Nod your head to this as a lot of apprentice
Some of this were standing on the shoulder of giants
Some tryants some benevolent
To the followers it's relevant
The rest get bent on lending opinions
I'm sending to a brand new level
I revel in completion delition of suckers
Getting served like Smuckers Jam
Fool know rules but the rest keep bouncing back
With the lack of further adieu see
As one can deduce we
Slam the shit out hard and long
Cuz we got more song
Something you might like now
All-star bound
Yeah your so sound
Cool as the blue water all around
From a force field flashing
Aliens are sending
Black evolutions of love you are hearing
The dark supernatural is the world we call
Our own home lightning in the mind comes out in song
But we're wild they say never trust us we're shady
In lieu of the crew your into we are baby
Cuz music will be coming out the words we speak
We erect breakbeats shatter wax still on the platter
Our shit is badder we come fly then we scatter
Cuz we deep and we solid yeah we hear ya holler
Electricity running through the soul it feels good
Some time the only thing that really ever could
Feed that hunger I crave it I love it I gave it
I shove it in a battery and save it for later
A waiter in the Dorothy Pavilion in '89
I met some wierdos and had myself a real good time
Downtown L.A. is a soul graveyard
Where you got to be hard or get jacked
It lacked a certain sense of something
Something basic no karm int he least I broke east
You know I had to face it
I guess I flaked but it was no mistake because
311's got the boom
My mic check is giving me
Electric company
I can't see the high wide sky
Or stars above me
Are you a flower
Or more like a high rise tower
If so the soul of sweet delight
On you will shower
There's a place for us they say is somewhere
Not a dream but a place and you will be there
Your slippin' but content because your spirit
And hills are alive with the sound of music
Take a chance n something star you gotta
All the live long day
If i had to name one thing would data
Be hard pressed to say
You can say that i'm gushy
At least you know what i think
I know that i'm lucky i know you're on the brink
You got it good good good you got it good so good
You make up ridiculous words
Which mean exactly nothing
I know just what you mean and that's the funny thing
It's understood it's understood
Buddy buddy buddy i know why you wander
Through the sweetness on the ground
The sweetness of the flowers
You make your way on a cloudy day
You've got to move
The world you prove is too sweet yeah
We parted much too soon i know but that's how it goes
There's someone better out there for you and me
Can't wait to get on the road and feel the shows And be like phenomenon 1 and 2 and 3
I don't mean to brag and i don't mean to boast
But i'm the guy could that give you the most
It's good good good it's understood
CHORUS
People sing about the coming of spring
But what is comin' down around it's snow or it's rain
It's insane and i'm still in the same gang
The way the weather act's it's a shame ok
Badder behavior in our shit is flavor
Grandiose endeavors yes the quest is greater
Make no mistake i know the time and i wake
I slip only when p-nut gets me baked from that shake
Yeah you can't fuck with this
You're walter middy don't take it as a dis
But the fantasy has got to end this minute
I had a fucking dream and yo now i'm in it
I've been at many function but i know i'm about the function
If someone brings you down keep punching
We bunched in a little house where conditions got squalid
But where we at now - solid
I concur time it slurs and it blurs
The vision like a drug and yo it's the word
How absurd deliver us from nerds
And funky 40 oz glass littered curbs
Soon the church pitted bell will clang
Boys on the corner mack with slang play a dice game
When i walk by it some bag lady goes sha-na-na-na
Your street time is limited 'cuz this band rocks it
Take your whole crew put 'em all in your pocket
If your feelin' sick rub it on with vicks
'N take 2 to 6 of our sweet super mix
Your street time is limited 'cuz this band rocks it
Take your whole crew put 'em all in your pocket
If your feelin' sick we got the elixir
Rub it on down with the sweet super mixer
Late night radio players late night airwave invaders
Yeah we got the force late night radio
Zooma zooma zooma yeah we got the boom
Blowin' up the spot so so give us room
We prowl sometimes we howl hysterical
When we take the stage see a miracle
I realize today nothing is more vestigial
Than the young space walkin' individual
For years and years bubbling up with soul power
To detonate this planet or reach another
Yeah we take it up a notch
We diggin' the shit so deep like ralston digs scotch
Botch this and i'll regret it no that's not what i'm saying
Remember this instead i'm staying
We played in a little house where conditions got squalid
But where we at now - solid
We hauled a van with a rv that was a bad call
It all went up in flames but i haven't seen it all
Homey steps to me and say hey where ya goin'
Oh just headin' back to where i done my growin'
If you must go somewhere over the rainbow
The adventures of a cosmic hero
From planet to planet my tags a crater
If you're not in the future you're not here either
Labeled psychedelic we can play disco
When the going gets weird you know the weird turn pro
Your street time is limited 'cuz this band rocks it
Take your whole crew put 'em all in your pocket
If your feelin' sick rub it on with vicks
'N take 2 to 6 of our sweet super mix
Your street time is limited 'cuz this band rocks it
Take your whole crew put 'em all in your pocket
If your feelin' sick we got the elixir
Rub it on down with the sweet super mixer
Late night radio players late night airwave invaders
Yeah we got the force late night radio
Feel the bass knives past your flesh enter your bone
solitude in your dance floor rhythm zone
let your body go, just don’t follow the letter
do what you feel, the more absurd the better
don't be afraid, whatever you got, show
flaunt your personality let 'em know you stylo
you could make a mean hand out of what you been dealt
311 on wax, wax on felt
Feeling real great cause the weather is mild

what makes you laugh, stand apart
makes you feel good what's in your heart
feeling real great cause the weather is mild

I thought about my scene today
And I've finally got the words to say
The truth is cutting like a knife
Gonna use it to cut away my strife
The grass is green and the sky is blue
My head is clear and my thoughts are true, yeah
Thats what Im sayin
Callin' out young and old
We got a thing that can't be sold
The time it takes to rise above
In the summer of love
It's the summer of love I say
I wake up each day to the sun
And it's hard to chose what to do for fun (and man thats a drag)
A blissful world surrounds me
And my brothers and sisters love is always free
Don't you know that I've waited my whole life
Just to show what's inside and let my love flow
That's what I'm sayin'
Callin' out young and old
We got a thing that can't be sold
The time it takes to rise above
In the summer of love
It's the summer of love I say
I declare by the power vested in me
This is the summer of love and unity
Oh I say by the power vested in me
This is the summer of love and unity
I declare by the power vested in me
This is the summer of love and unity
Oh I declare by the power vested in me
This is the summer of love and unity
Oh I declare by the power vested in me
It is the summer of love
It's the summer of love I say
No I'll not renounce my views do what others do
I'd rather drink the hemlock than be like you, to my soul untrue
It never gets easier so quit tryin pleasing her
Everything is a choice so let me hear your voice
Born in October night
feeling was out a sight
skin I'm in now and then
moves like a meteorite
noise in our culture
is built in our nature
another era will decode
as we head toward rapture
suppose we're all gifted
suppose that the mist is
a metaphor for change
suppose the veil will be lifted
sacrament that I hold
close and I feel noble
solar marigolds light the souls
return from that other world
Sometimes when I'm awake
I can't tell if I'm still dreaming
There's so much here at stake
When every moment is just fleeting
Sometimes when I'm awake
I can't if I'm still dreaming
It never gets easier so quit tryin pleasing her
Everything is a choice so let me hear your voice
rip up the evening post
kill parasitic hosts
we can shoulder all the karma
that came with Los Alamos
return the sky bottle blue
return that forgotten hue
a looking glass world
seeing into and through you
soul and body are my twins
the latter will give in
when the former views the ocean
as not too cold to get in
to martian life forms
these waters are real warm
but beware we can change the weather
and create a snowstorm
Sometimes when I'm awake
I can't tell if I'm still dreaming
There's so much here at stake
When every moment is just fleeting
Sometimes when I'm awake
I can't tell if I'm still dreaming
No I'll not renounce my views do what others do
I'd rather drink the hemlock than be like you, to my soul untrue
It never gets easier so quit tryin pleasing her
Everything is a choice so let me hear your voice
Now i don't know you you don't know me
But i can show you where's the beat
And you can do as you feel as long as you move
Two perfect strangers sharing a groove
Suckers step up and want to cause friction
But violence is for those who can't handle diction
Competion is waning circumnavigate the draining
Complaining about those who are steady maintaining the jam
Jump into thE pit and just slam
Big respect goes out to those who can
Lose their shit once in a while
Act a fool just to mark time yo that's my style
Massive Laminate Fortress
Hazy cannibus porches
Saying no to the bores
It's not mine or yours then i said
The wait sucks i don't mind waiting
Once you get there there's no more gates and i gotta say
Stealing Happy Hours
Don't wait one minute more to ask me
You make me feel like Hank Chinaski
In war all the time war war all the time
We're snatching bits of time that
No one else can seem to find
I want to thank you for stealing my girl away
You did a favor for me
OK I admit it, it did go down that way
But my excuse ??? free
I don't know whats the problem with me
I guess I ask for a clue
It would be better if I just took the blame honestly
instead of pointing to you
instead of blaming it on you
where did all our plans go
they just flew right out the window
I don't know why I act this way
I'd like to hear what you have to say
When was it the vision died
I woke up one day and the well had dried
I don't know why you acted that way
You don't wanna hear what I have to say
Where did all our plans go
They just flew right out the window
I don't know why I act this way
I'd like to hear what you have to say
When was it the vision died
I woke up one day and the well had dried
I don't know why you acted that way
You don't wanna hear what I have to say
Where did our plans go
Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
the more it will spin
the more that I try
to stop my mind flowing away, away
to all that I despise
along the way to close my eyes
You can't be let down if you don't expect the world
expect to lay awake and by your sleeping girl
if somebody cares then there is no way you can tell
cursed consciousness is your private hell
Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
the more it will spin
the more that I try
to stop my mind flowing away, away
to all that I despise
along the way to close my eyes
Tick, tick, tick the clock bludgeons your mind
endlessly replaying times that were unkind
go away sun I'm not prepared for you today
it seems you are, it seems you are, huh!
Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
the more it will spin
the more that I try
to stop my mind flowing away, away
to all that I despise
along the way to close my eyes
Come on' now Come on' and rock it
Come on' now Come on' and rock it
Come on' now Come on' and rock it
Jump to the beat and ?????? with me
Come on' now Come on' and rock it
Come on' now Come on' and rock it
Come on' now Come on' and rock it
Hey rock with me I freak out
To the A.C.I.D. house
With a new school twist bein kissed
But I make all desire to climb higher
On nothin but my own criteria
Steerin a van with the help of my brothers
In crime stayin right for my own time
How can you give a damn give a damn if you approve it
Its a battle
I just freak out (get up get up get up and rock it)
I freak out (get up get up get up and rock it)
Freak Out (get up get up get up and rock it)
Come on come on we'll come back slipped out
A whack as a master laid out the music
Dead by unsung blue shoe
The boy unknown with gone through
I've lost as much psycadelic trip we take
There's another more bizzare we have to make
Would we have no where beyond
Take out the earth the face is gone
My rocks and sand will fill the hole
How strange we should be here at all
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
Come on yo come on and rock this
Come on yo come on and rock this
Come on yo come on and rock this
Yeay
Into whose womb were you woven
And outta who's womb did you first bodies cloven
Light of daybreak blinded next exit
The wild darkness forming inside it
My day wasn't promised me each death it brings reminding we
Are rumbling in this cursed universe where death is birth
Think not but what your manifest is worth
Giving up a verse the worse the curse occurs a thirst
To burst first breaking to the center of the universe
Slamming down on the lingo flow so jam to the bumrush single
Long ago has been become now when you find out there's no break
In the rhythm
Black anima makes my stamina stand alone disown the cinema farewell
To posing decades dozing comin up the steps of the new
Screen rising scenes from the lost world shapes hard to tell
Which is which as if drawn by a child holmes
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
This is a heat to flush your face water
This is a heat to flush your face water
This is a heat to flush your face water
This is a heat to flush your face water
Come on freak out
Talkin shit like shut up and listen to me
Because cutting through the crap is my speciality
Like a bomb I'm dropping yes a ton of lead
You're trying to figure out the last thing I said
I'm a redwood I love to be a tree yes I'm a druid
My words are flowing out like a fluid
Never give in never conform
I'll be bustin' out rhymes in a triplet form
Dead leaves on the trees in spring
Can't hear the birds sing
A light powdered snow on the ground is glistening
Vipers slither atop a colder ground they quiver
A crack in the sky snow is falling and inside we shiver
While I doze I suppose I could get lost
With a brownskin friend claiming kin to crazy horse
I stink of vino my greasy clothes are rancid but
I tip the bottle back the spirits are in me kid
Fire water call it liquid rapture
Into the flash and flames of my crazy nature
Fire water the world's a mixture
Of broken liquored people get the picture
Fire water call it liquid rapture
Into the flash and flames of my crazy nature
Fire water the world's a mixture
Of broken liquored people get the picture
Whiskey be spittle at the corners of my mouth
I'm rather liquored light flickers
I got the shakes and jitters
I roll I'm like raging bull bumrushin' the show
Hand to my head sway in the fire I've waded into
All alone except for the whiskey voices
Whores laught neon signs flash other choices
I stagger stumble to toast the past while I mumble
Slur my song slow porno show marquee words crumble
Fire water call it liquid rapture
Into the flash and flames of my crazy nature
Fire water the world's a mixture
Of broken liquored people get the picture
Fire water call it liquid rapture
Into the flash and flames of my crazy nature
Fire water the world's a mixture
Of broken liquored people get the picture
You're hangin' around the house with all your friends
Steady drinking smoking the green weed
And head is sort of blinking
You're going with the flow
And everybody is getting plowed
The voices and the music and the noise is getting loud
You got a heavy buzz on when seven o'clock rolls around
So you piule inside the clunker start heading downtown
Only nineteen but you know where you can get it
So you slide inside the bar and everything is hitting
By about eleven o'clock your brain is near dead
You really can't remember who was the one that said
Let's go into the bathroom and meet this guy Chuck
He's got a thirty dollar white powder pick me up
Ten minutes later the whole vibe had changed
You try for conversation
But you know you're acting strange
Your eyes are wide open but your smile is gone
You just keep fiending 'til the fucking break of dawn
Vipers slither atop a colder ground they quiver
A crack in the sky snow is falling and inside we shiver
While I doze I suppose
Oh, a whole new way of looking at things
The way you react to phone rings
The way it feels when you just let it flow
Sometimes I wonder just how it could be
To take care of it before we see
It off the rails
I think that you should know
You never cease to amaze me
You keep me from going crazy
And that’s one thing I know for sure
Sometimes I see just how it all will be
To take care of it it’s so easy
The first straw
And this I know for sure
The first straw so small it seemed impossible
The next straw vanished like shooting stars that fall
The last straw there’s no reason for getting there at all, yeah
No reason to take it there at all
Yeah
The last straw can land in your mix
Your best day could be apocalypse
Nobody paid attention to the first straw
It seems the last one is all we ever saw
The first straws a metaphor I pick up myself
It tells me something by showing me something else
I think that you should know
The first straw so small it seemed impossible
The next straw vanished like shooting stars that fall
The last straw there’s no reason for getting there at all, yeah
No reason to take it there at all
Yeah
Everyone reacts when it gets to the weight of breaking the back
I won’t let that be us 'cause the loss I’d never get past
Yeah
The first straw so small it seemed impossible
The next straw vanished like shooting stars that fall
The last straw there’s no reason for getting there at all
Yeah
The first straw so small it seemed impossible
The next straw vanished like shooting stars that fall
The last straw there’s no reason for getting there at all
Yeah
Na na na na na na
Aw yea
I've seen the devil and the devil is coke
Not down like that cuz it ain't a fuckin joke
Trip ther shrooms fantastic
Shit gets drasctic
I didn't believe a word
Can you hear this can you hear in the
Make the music soothin' your system
Come on now, come on now
Hear the beat so sweet
I shouldn't tell you how
Im a freak yall
Im a freak yall
Much love to my man Stan Thomas
Yea you say like what up to our man Eddy Offord
Eddy Offord
You know I'm ready, yes to rock steady
My name's not Betty or Teddy, but Nick
And I'm what you might call a heretic
Yes, and I am from Nebraska
My girl is satisfied, you can ask her
You know I've never visited Alaska
Huh, where the oil was spilt
That drunken captain should be killed
For polluting the sea, an atrocity
He still walks free, well
This one goes to all the birds that drown
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Just fuck the bullshit ??????
It's time to throw down and so I said it words of
Wisdom that will keep you guessing cause
I'm tired of laying and I'm tired of messing around
With all those suckers
Yes, those stupid mother fuckers
Who put down what we do
We stand alone with the group that's new
If I was a dwarf, I'd surely be Dopey
I'm a stone wheat thin you can not culture
Kick in the teeth a condescending frown
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Yeah, right about now I'd like to turn the mic over to my man
SA Martinez
I am sly in the mix I am the mix master
Death and destructor, lyric conductor
Rollin with the rhythm of the rhyme I'm rollin
???????????????????????
Tim, he leads giutar,he's got the jets
Now the b-boys rockin breakin' moves on the floor
311's stepping out and you're yellin for more
I'm hoping, I'm poetry in motion
When I Fire I spray ????
P-Nut, the bass drum is booming
And in your mouth the rhythm is booming
P to the N to the U to the T
Just fuck the has-been's and their stupid-ass rambling
Brothers saying bullshit you can't come through with
Do it in the basement no complacence
It's time to kick the fuck in
Begin to win no sin and then
Share it, declare it in the public domain
Refrain
I'd be perfectly glad if rap was a fad but it's not
So I'd thought I'd come out with a shot
Super dumb lyrics make you think I'm a clown
I don't give a fuck it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
That's right, knockin' them down
Nineties, all of that
Well everybodys got an opinion thats loud and unbending
I spend my time healing and mending, together
Its a question of whether live positive well i give
P-Nut joins our back, must be arthritic
Tim is from the '70's and so we live it
SA has the wisdom of a nobel laureate
I'm down for our days of glory
It's easy to do when you're up with Sexton
A rhythmatic genius, turnin' up the next one
Would you know, you're a bro, I flow in that circumstance
You'll get your chance
Becuase payback is a motherfuckin' mission
To the sharp-ass rocks slippin' on us but we rock
It comes to writing on us derision
Sendin you a voice now we're sending you a vision
And those who fought me they say they taught me everything I know
I go aww, when I hear that, that chit and that caht, bullshit!
So sick of me knowing everything, saying!
In your face
That's right
And it feels so good
In your face
Yeah
It feels so good
Take it to 'em bro, throw down, now say
Settin' forth a course I'm really wiggin' out
In my dome I roam, no time to doubt
Fucked up you right there while I was rhymin'
Now you're sulking in the corner, a baby crying
Hittin' up now we feelin' to rock Mars
Fuckin' up the shit, now their heads bob
We ain't new to jack swing, the groove and that
We got crazy factiffs and we all that
I don't often rock and I'm a laureate
I don't pull the punch you know I'm throwin' it
Freestyles my style on the mic and flex
You're stalkin' the mind of a punk that's next
I get retarted now that I started you know
A condition which I keep close together
Like the kind buds you know my scene
My team thinks I sing supreme, but you, the weasel,
Try to bring us down but in reality it make you look like a clown
Too bad cause we'll be sittin' in the sun and choose a rocky ass fast ball
In your face
That's right
And it feels so good
Choose a lock y'all
In your face
Yeah
It feels so good
Yo P-Nut, beat that thing
Won't you warm the mic Nicholas
Can't get with this my stream of conscieceness is a sea
Much like Bukowski with a rage
Speakin' to page
Beasts in the cage
Jumpin' off the stage
Divin'
Thrivin'
Strivin' for a better day or say
(Strive for a better day SA?)
Beat back by flesh
Shatterd doors braggin' fists to the sky we're feelin' high
Has to live and die
Just take a moment to have a bit once in a while
You know, you know
I do it daily and like it but that's my style, yeah, here I go
In your face
And dow your throat
And it feels so good
'fraid so
Fuck it up y'all
In you face
And down your throat
It feels so good
That's all
You got a wishing well within
That's ready to begin
See how we roll x2
I'm trying to compromise
Because with me there are no lies
See hwo we run
It's already begun
Now that I'm back to a pushing pen
That weights two hundred tons
I'd Like to drop it on you
And watch it all fall throught
Nobody knows just what
You're battling inside
You can hide
Nobody knows just why
Most everyone will lie
If they need to
The ones who aggravate you most
And happen to be ever close
Seem to be the ones lurching
For the same things that you are seaching
The ones that make you feel ill
And you think that nature should have killed
Those you curse when you're alone
Seem to be so close to home
Not an even field to be on
Feels like stading still for eons and eons
Stare it dead in the eye, what now?
All we can do is try to shut it down
Shut it Down
Not an even field to be on
Feels like stading still for eons and eons
Stare it dead in the eye, what now?
All we can do is try to shut it down
Shut it Down
My computer is future shockin’
download this and you’ll start talkin’
upgraded, you’re now walkin'
compatible with all that is rockin’
comin’ on fast, it’s getting’ digital
it’s so huge, like a spiritual
rippling out to every individual
this is life, and it's a miracle
Evolution has exponential timing
it’ll be half as long
till the next breakthrough that blows our mind
its up to the people to brave on with experimentation
move forth the species
by using our imagination
But can we handle it
could we dismantle it
or should we fear the void
and just be para-paranoid?
if it’s understood
it could be used for good, and would
if you will believe in
all we can conceive
On the periodic table they got it all wrong
let me lay it down for you in this song
people want PT, they want AU
but lemme tell you what you really ought to do
figure out ways to master silicon
fiber-optic connectors, whatever’s beyond
so many people don’t even attempt to understand
the limitless possibilities of man
Evolution has exponential timing
it’ll be half as long
till the next breakthrough that blows our mind
its up to the people to brave on with experimentation
move forth the species
by using our imagination
But can we handle it
could we dismantle it
or should we fear the void
and just be para-paranoid?
if it’s understood
it could be used for good, and would
if you will believe in
all we can conceive
I feel trapped, i gotta adapt
remain calm collecting before I get zapped
my computer is a rebel, acting all fine and
just like that payin’ me no mind
what’s up, is it's program over come by a glitch
is it becoming conscious
and if so, ain't that a bitch
i'll paid too much for this piece
i'll be damned if it tries any funny business
it'll be the one that pays the price
Evolution has exponential timing
it’ll be half as long
till the next breakthrough that blows our mind
its up to the people to brave on with experimentation
move forth the species
by using our imagination
using our imagination
But can we handle it
could we dismantle it
or should we fear the void
and just be para-paranoid?
if it’s understood
it could be used for good, and would
if you will believe in
all we can conceive
Yes we can handle it
we could dismantle it
we should not fear the void
and just be para-paranoid
if it’s understood
it could be used for good, and would
if you will believe in
all we can conceive
Let me take you down south
Hear it from the dover's mouth
The rhythm will make you want to move your body
I had it once and never ever forgot it
Feel the rhythm of rhapsody
Your body moves in raw ecstasy
Explosive eruption beyond compare
Take my advice don't think twice
Let me take you way down south
Step back cuz the funk is here and
The base is kickin' straight to your ear man
Because it's like that so don't talk back
And if you do then you're gonna get the back slap
Down south that's an enigma
But to you it's a stupid dumb stigma
That's right it's outta sight
Let me tell you 'bout my baby
She loves me don't mean maybe
She knows what I think and I don't have to say it
I love her so I don't have to play it
We sit and drink in the sun
I raise my glass and say she's the one
Cool breeze light squeeze life
Take my advice don't think twice
Let me take you way down south
Step back I'm about to get hectic
Chalk it up as another dialectic
Hard like a jam
Smooth like a ballad
Call it what you want but I call it sound salad
A salad grown in the garden of Eden
Seekin' out pleasures like my boys in Sweden
That's right the grooves tight like
Sit back just relax, let your mind unwind
Pull your good thing close, let tranquility surround
Psychedelic freak out taco funk frolic
Grind fiend roots 'core soul music what have you
Step back and think about the topic of this song
Strong innuendo end over end goes your brain
I won't say it's plain figure it out here's a clue
It's about winding, grinding, finding that spot
That get's her hot the joy of giving pleasure
Is beyond measure
This song started as a rant against haters
But that'd be giving in to the instigators
if there is one thing i'd like to pull off
When someone steps with hate all i do is scoff
You can't burn me
Can't burn me
The same force that flows through every circuit
The juice that's spent everytime you work it
Every life form is based on this simplicity
The soul that you have is electricity
You can't avoid that
Evolution is fact
We're all from the same Lucy
Despite differences you see
I'm in disbelief at what people will believe
All along i thought we had our hearts on our shirtsleeve
If one thing i can say as a piece of advice
Don't believe it till you see it and then see it twice
It's so funny
It's not funny
Chorus
A call out for unity
In every province and city
What do you think we've been saying
Since we first started playing
Every time I get near your field of gravity
You look so sad to me tell how could that be?
ah- ah she said things I obsess
I would never confess
ah- ah I told her don't dwell
That will leave you in hell
Sometimes things that you're scorned for
You should be adored for
But like I told her don't dwell
I know my love that I look dilapidated
But are you glad I made it
Can you tell me that much
ah-ah Why are you surprised
I don't take my advice
ah-ah she told me don't dwell
That will leave you in hell
Sometimes I need reminding
Regret is so blinding
But like I told me don't dwell
Everything is a choice
Go ahead raise your voice
Might as well forgive your self
That means more than someone else
Set you free break the shell
To your demons farewell
(Ooh na na na na) I tell you don't dwell
Music: Sexton; Lyrics: Hexum/Martinez
This one is dedicated to the excitable ones
Not the possums playing dead messing with my head
"X" amount of action, "X" amount of games
For years again I tell you the same, ooh ooh ooo
Gone already to the bored of it all type, lingo
that I'm seein every single night I'm out
Bustin' head for it but your's gets busted right back
Lip split and, I messed up but I got back tryin'
Don't bother lying 'bout constant dissapointment
But the fun in the hunt so quit actin' on a front
You're unmotivaded You're sorta faded
But the remedy is not so get on with what you got
Remember "Lady of Guadelupe"
The times my mother made mole
After mass we would get home
The girls running to the phone
And I'm in my bedroom the 45 on my record player
Was "We're in this love together"
At the time I never realized how songs haunted
The ones that I heard I played because I wanted
Drawing on my wall from time to time coolin'
Making creatures come alive with no schoolin'
When I'm on the microphone
The method that I make is much patience
The method that I make is much patience
I wait for the beat and then I make sense
I'm comin' in hot forgot you definitely got no clue
I'm comin' in hot you got you definitely got so rude
Boy actin' coy but you got nuts like Almond Joy
I tell ya this is a tribute
No one looks as foolish as the excitable ones
But then again there's no one has as much fun
"X" amount of action, "X" amount of games
For years again I tell you the same, ooh ooh ooo
Once I met a man who made nearly no mistakes
He would never bet on a longshot
Never bet on a break and
He's condescending and talks gossip galore
But the dude was definitely such a bore
Hear me now I messed up but I got back trying
Don't bother lying 'bout constant dissapointment
But the fun is in the hunt so quit actin' on a front
Yeah, unmotivated you're sort faded
But the real man is not
The one hiding behind the gunshot, boom!
Time travelin' through my memory
There's a younger doug gazin' at the galaxy
Space trippin' vato of the stars
Searchin' for UFO's from Neptune and Mars
Ode to an alien I know you're out there
Cosmic lonely heart tell me if you care
I'm listening for your sound, here on the ground
I'm listening for your sound, here on the ground
When I'm on the microphone
The method that I make is much patience
The method that I make is much patience
I wait for the beat and then I make sense
I'm comin' in hot forgot you definitely got no clue
I'm comin' in hot you got you definitely got so rude
Boy actin' coy you got nuts liek Almond Joy
I tell ya this is a tribute
I'm vexing many mofos but I'm wishing you the best
I keep 'bout half my lyrics and I throw out the best
Cause fly on by, you can if you want
The method that makes sense is patience
Hear me now I messed up but I got back trying
Don't bother lying 'bout constant dissapointment
If you want more beats for you buck there's no luck (x4)
Then there's no luck
Then again if you came for drama then I can't understand a
Music critics, music critics
Not afraid of a guy who'll tell you he's never been in a mix
Been in a mix, been in a mix
We're from the grassroots so big up to out friends
Every crew, every click and every posse
Big up to all the heads not of hypocracy
You're a transistor
Lightning resistor Conducting to the mother Star
That's what you are
Renegade sound system three eleven (x4)
Three eleven (x2)
Brothers from another planet and
Here once again
Automatic (x2)
Quantum saints of the universe
In a holographic
Cosmic Remix (x2)
From the mysterious blue planet
We can breathe anywhere
Underwater, out in space, and in L.A.
Your polluted air's no problem for these homeys
[Intro:] Groove as your soul sings.
Spinnin' all around as we dust a melody
Welcome to this groove you can move right
We gonna take you higher not caught in the quagmire
I can't survive on a stupid nine to five I'd rather be poor
Writing tunes livin' on a commune
Kickin' it with my brothers and significant others
Life in pursuit of only money we think it's funny
The only thing that money it could ever bring to me
Would be some gifts for my friends follow me now
Trips for my family
The only thing I love is freedom the people around me I need 'em I'd
like to build the world a spliff but like I said I said
You could never get me interested in dreams of wealth
Myself my birthday happens to land on April twelfth whack
A Coney Island of the mind it's mine
I swipe the sweets strip the beats in the sunshine
Loco holmes I stroll because I'm thinking
A tone poem alone is love medicine then the demon
Spring revolution in my spirit here it is and I will kill with it
Traveling head spinnin' from the medicine
Illusions fadin' out an comin' on again
unwind your mind then find entire minutes abstract
the tract of sight day breaking in it
doles out my share of the world ocean and sun
Rising with whirling motion
I fought kicked and screamed my way to getting born now I feel
Warm and I say come on the night won't save anyone
won't you roam
We've grown so we can write again our soul select its own way for
The travellin'
we're here we're breathing and we wanna keep our
Blood running so we're gonna keep gunning till the next homecoming
I like the boogie to the bang bang boogie say up jump the boogie
To the bang bang come on
Brainstorm, take me away from the norm
I've got to tell you something, this phenomenon
I had to put it in a song and it goes like
Woah, amber is the color of your energy
Woah, shades of gold displayed naturally
You ought to know what brings me here
You glide through my head blind to fear and I know why
Woah, amber is the color of your energy
Woah, shades of gold displayed naturally
Woah, amber is the color of your energy
Woah, ahades of gold displayed naturally
You live too far away, your voice rings like a bell anyway
Don't give up your independence unless it feels so right
Nothing good comes easily, sometimes you've got to fight
Woah, amber is the color of your energy
Woah, shades of gold displayed naturally
Launched a thousand ships in my heart, so easy
Still, it's fine from afar, and you know that
Woah, brainstorm, take me away from the norm
No matter what I do
I'll always wait for you
So I guess that's, that's what I got to do
It seems I'm spending so much time waiting
And when you can't make up your mind
I'm waiting for you
If that's what it requires
Then waiting's what I'll do
So hurry yourself up
I'm waiting
Just hang up that phone
You already know on your own
What you need to do
And what you got to do
It feels like I'm losing my mind
You know that I'll deal just fine
It seems I'm spending so much time waiting
And when you can't make up your mind
I'm waiting for you
If that's what it requires
Then waiting's what I'll do
So hurry yourself up
I'm waiting
I know you're thinking
That loves a gamble
And you're not sure that you gonna win, now babe
Take your money and double your bet
And see what happens and watch out
I'm taking my love down to your pawnshop
Tell me baby what should I get
A wedding ring and a boom box
Boom box boom box boom box ooowww
And what else can I say
It will do no good anyway
As long as you know that I'll keep waiting
It seems I'm spending so much time waiting
And when you can't make up your mind
I'm waiting for you
If that's what it requires
Then waiting's what I'll do
So hurry yourself up
I'm waiting
And what else can I say
It will do no good anyway
As long as you know that I'll keep waiting
For you I'd wait forever
Because I know that one day we'll be together
Maybe it's because you know I'll wait
You know I'll wait
I'm still waiting
He wouldn't say he cared at all if you asked him.
You're heading for a fall brother it goes right past him.
In another world he's in another place
you now the need for speed. Is just another form of greed
but when you jones'n your brains frozen.
You're not thinkin' bout the choices you makin' you're just rollin'.
On and on it's anybody's guess cuz no one's at the wheel at the front of
that mess yes.
The sun's goin' down for me it's goin' down for me.
He and she are what I need yes they're what I need.
But I'm gonna buy a ticket I'm not gonna even pick it.
I heard it he said it I heard it.
But it we but it went something like.
Chorus :
Visit.
I wanna visit the world.
So now I visit the world.
With my time on this world.
Because livin' when you're hungry is a dog in an alley.
Now I mind my business cuz I'm rhymin' down in Cali.
I ain't playin' when sayin' kings of the ghetto feel they losing ground.
Vato's goin' loco because everyone's brought down.
This is a visit then we dead fade to dust strickin'.
I'm wearing my Doc Martens cuz I'm always down for kickin'.
This my friend the city pity everywhere the enemy.
Ready or not homey stompin' everyone in front of me.
Jump up and down cus that's the 311 style.
Cruise on by the frowners float follow me now with a smile.
Looking at the ocean I say there's plenty.
Looking at the river I say there's plenty.
Chorus
Jump up and down cuz that's the 311 style.
Cruise on by the frowners float follow me now with a smile.
I got a golden ticket I'm not gonna even pick it.
I heard it he said it I heard it
but it went but it went something like.
Chorus. Chorus.
with the words slaying me slow
the verbs that just don't flow
confusing use of time
partial stoning of the heart
waiting for something to start
confusing use of time
but the trying again
makes me think it's all gonna end
confusing use of time
but everytime i turn the volume down
all that i hear is the deafing sound
of your hearts pound
chorus
today, the longest day
hearing repeating things you'd say
confusing use of time
can you hear the void that i describe
what can i say the vacancy sounds like
confusing use of time
Even if I cared to try I couldn't please them.
Their petty complaints, stupid restraints ain't gonna work.
It's all to cheese and regret, don't fret, just push it away.
And say I'm like the wind, relentless and irritating.
A position that I think worth stating.
Swing I'm doin' my thing.
Groove I'm showin' and provin'.
That maverick deal that makes you feel ill.
It runs in my family.
Fussin' and cussin' and bitchin' and kickin'.
If you ask me I think that you're just chicken to try,
don't pretend you're my friend.
Remember I said it one day you'll regret it.
Oh God I can't believe it.
You have asked and so you shall receive it in the ear.
Victory draws near but no fear my dear. I'll be here another year.
What's it all about I scan a new plan for the next year
In nineties try these you wanna just bust out.
I cool out and I'm done bein' mad. To just know hate well that's so sad.
What a life, strife. Backfire and your face know your place come on like.
Word, they come like a herd but they said.
We'd drop like a led zeppelin in your face.
But that's nothin' home team. I ain't got to my ace in the whole yet,
bet that I will. Get my fill, get my thrill.
We'll be back one day and we'll try not to spite.
But until then you stay out of my sight.
Oh, God, I can't believe it this groove's so dope.
I'm about to have a fit and here's a flash. I freaked so hard I got whiplash.
And when it comes to writing stay away from our stash.
Swing I'm doin' my thing.
Groove I'm showin' and provin'.
That maverick deal that makes you feel ill.
It runs in our family.
Stoppin' and goin' and lyin' and trying'.
My brain is on fire it feels like I'm flying
through space. Yes doing my best but it'll get better this much I confess.
Oh God I can't believe it but when this era's through I'll say that's it.
Edification will take place.
Pull up the reigns. And get out of the race.
My bros are down for the Unity.
311 is down for the Unity.
Unanimity of the Unity.
Uncalm, uncalm, uncalm
listen to the drummer, just listen to the strings
listen to the DJ just rappin' and things
once I get a message from you, I get all edgy
my minds racing but you know I'm not ready, uh, I say
for you, baby all our dreams trickle through
we are back in your teenage bedroom
Salvador Dali honeymoon, for you
It's like you and me on Plymouth Rock
embarking on a journey that I never thought
would happen to me so effortlessly
sparks flying, your laughter is a symphony
spring, what a little moonlight can do
soon the summer sun is on you
all the while we don't hear the news or feel blue
On the scales of desire your absence weighs
more than someone else's presence
I wanna kiss reason goodbye today
I wanna show it's purple essence
on your lips baby it'll fade away
return your natural iridescence
on the scales of desire your absence weighs
more than someone else's presence
You make me feel uncalm and I think I like it
make me think of a song that I could not write yet
melodies create themselves, I'm just a conduit
you make my heart accelerate and I'm on to it
for you baby there's so much that I will do
to be near the sweetness on you
funny everything seems so new when with you
On the scales of desire your absence weighs
more than someone else's presence
I wanna kiss reason goodbye today
I wanna show it's purple essence
on your lips baby it'll fade away
return your natural iridescence
on the scales of desire your absence weighs
more than someone else's presence
uncalm, uncalm, uncalm
You're a power spot rotating
everchanging
transmitting like a radio wave
frequently feeling
what's goin' on
Times are weird all this static
things erratic
seems like we lost the magic
see hear how clear
is inner quality
a yin and yang type of thang
sacred geometry
ascending mad
energy crazy bad
you're something NASA
fucking wish they had
Tune in
for those who are wantin'
vision
feel it from within
sing along
you're a star creator
soul craft generator
movin' through time and space
son you're a liberator
but you're memory
has been erased
the things you knew
misplaced check it out
Babylon
life style we scorn
now we live again
in L.A. Tokyo and New York
come on pay a fee
smoke your booty weed
put gas in your tank
keep your city bumpin'
Passin' the kind buds.
Kickin' back in the sand in the sun.
To be alive is lovin'.
Where the shore meets the sea.
Man I'm hummin' I'm hummin
I'm free as I stare at the sea.
And I'm not comin' down.
The world is yours once you have found.
The good is to share.
Which is elsewhere.
The beauty of green is where light is now broken by what it touches.
Remembering what you once had told me hit home.
And hasn't it always been so.
[Chorus:]
I'm free as I stare at the sea.
And I'm not comin' down.
The world is yours once you have found.
The good is to share.
Which is elsewhere.
Like I said before I'll say it once more.
Knew you would make me feel so good.
Wanna do you right.
Can't get enough.
This is the stuff
life's about and it trips me out.
Wanna do you right.
Bright mornings, days when I want so much.
I want nothing, just this life and no more.
I'll come within this world
there's only one for me.
She's waiting, I'll soon come.
[Chorus]
Free from the burn the burn that helps spite and
Free from the burn now baby dib your price
No buzz hack, no buzz hack
No buzz hack, no buzz hack
Swing the thing you bring check it out
How could you be so good to me
How could you be so good to me I want to be worth I want to be worth
Buzz hack hack hack buzz
Yea swing to the thing you bring
Check it out
Like I said before I'll say it once more.
Knew you would make me feel so good.
Wanna do you right.
Can't get enough.
This is the stuff life's about and it trips me out.
Wanna do you right.
Who's Got the Herb
2 for 1, 5 for 4, half ounces
Quarter pounds, LB's and kilos
What are we looking for
Sinsemilla
What are we hoping for
What are we hoping for
Sinsemilla
Who's got the herb is what the young boys ask me
Who's got the herb and then elders tell me
Who's got the herb is what the young girls ask me
Whos' got the herb not thee dread-locks
Skunk, bud, indica
Sativa, my reefer, la arriba
Skunk, bud, indica
Sativa, my reefer, la arriba
When we roll a big one
it feels so right
When we smoke it in our bong
it feels so nice
Whos' got the herb is what the young boys ask me
Who's got the herb and then the elders tell me
Who's got the herb is what the young girls ask me
Who's get the herb not thee dread-locks
Who's got the herb

311 whoa Who's got the herb
311's got the herb and you can't avoid that
and ya do want your hands with a fat blunt sack
chill with indica and guiness, steer clear of white powder
kick it you sing it in a space, go out to play it louder
Plague my brain with no cocaine
I don't wanna, I don't wanna go insane
Roll up the bones if you can affix a word to smoke it
except for you're doomed in the morning if you bake the hills
Oh and I get up to the sun and then I smoke out
It's begining to smell like Mota and I'm down with no doubt, sing
Plague my brain with no cocaine
I don't wanna, I don't wanna go insane
If you want to harm the
world then you can stop the
herb and you can use the
serve and use the warrant.
This is happening, this here is life
days spent pondering, truth is a knife
respect due to those who have caught it
dedicated to our friends who have sought it
This is happening, this here is life
days spent pondering, truth is a knife
respect due to those who have caught it
dedicated to our friends who have sought it
Brainstorm superseding the norm
when we come together, new planet is born
you revel in the chaos when people are torn
then you come to find out your welcome is worn
We are advancing and retracting visionaries
really here, it's not imaginary
the way you work your mind, you find it's an art
where you feel it most, you feel in your heart
Everybody gets confused
delusions are everywhere
buy into fakeness, you'll feel used
double talk fills the air
looking all over for happiness
I've got the will to live
it's in front of you right now, don't you feel stressed
falls through my hands live a sieve
I'm on a new high
with a pen and a pad
and for fun I attend
a jam that's super bad
at the same time
give it all that I have
whether you're square
or the coolest lad
Eatin up my people, purgin their words
the jammies take flight like Icarus birds
drop on you and you get hurt
cuz if you're under the rock, you get worked
Say, what gives, are you after me
breakin me down won't you let me be
won't be having none of your mind control
it ain't gonna work on me no more
I said what gives, are you after me
breakin me down won't you let me be
won't be having none of your mind control
it ain't gonna work on me no more
woo! ha-ha!
you get worked
If you don't watch your back
people are scheming on you
exploiting all the things you lack
they'll do what they have to do
your good will is something they'll crack
how many times will the bust
your originality they will hack
don't know just who you can trust
I'm on a new high
with a pen and a pad

Eatin up my people, purgin their words
the jammies take flight like Icarus birds

The word that i head was so absurdI can't believe it slipped from my lipsThe tongue from which it was sung was so dumbI wish to pull it from my skullWhat the fuck was i thinking
I know what you're thinking
I know I did you wrong
I've just got this feeling
Baby, please hold on
The way we used to dance
We forgot the steps
We both lost our balance
I drink to forget
Whiskey and Wine
Killing me, shot at a time
You put the liquor in the cup
And then you just swirl it around
Cause you don't remember if you're up or you're down
A temporary fix, your moments elixir yeaaaaaaaah
And I will say
I put my hand up in the air
And I won't do it again no
Can't promise it because I don't pretend to know why
the price I pay, a yeah yay
Not a remedy for a thing
and i wont do it again-ah
Whiskey and Wine
Killing me, shot at a time
Whiskey and Wine
Killing me, shot at a time
He was a king 'til she laid waste
now he can not fill up the space
and I just see him drifting
while he's drifting
on bourbon alley, feeling low
just because she let him go
I don't think he even knows
he'll ever be fine
And he's got a head full of ideas
let me tell ya, that you wouldn't believe
and he's got a heart made of pure gold
and something else, many tricks up his sleeve
you might think he's a jester
because he'll make you laugh til' you cry
and what else, you better come with your best
if you test him, unless you're ready to die
Wonder woman got rid of wonder man
that man's not part of your wonder plan
letter to the so called better bet on my man
believe it you will find out baby, damn
Head full of ideas
let me tell ya, that you wouldn't believe
and he's got a heart made of pure gold
and something else, so many tricks up his sleeve
you might think he's a jester
because he'll make you laugh til' you cry
and what else, you better come with your best
if you test him, unless you're ready to die
A million people come and go
through a persons ebb and flow
and faces keep on changing
while there changing
a certain few will stay in tact
when they're not they'll don an act
I know this important fact
don't get confused like
And he's got a head full of ideas
let me tell ya, that you wouldn't believe
and he's got a heart made of pure gold
and something else, so many tricks up his sleeve
you might think he's a jester
because he'll make you laugh til' you cry
and what else, you better come with your best
if you test him, unless you're ready to die
First you love him then your loving him not
all the while he just smiles, giving all that he's got
do you find it in your heart to say he's not what you sought
do you want me to continue with this, or what
woahohohohohohohooh yeah
woahohohohohohohooh yeah
Head full of ideas
let me tell ya, that you wouldn't believe
and he's got a heart made of pure gold
and something else, so many tricks up his sleeve
sleeve, sleeve
Welcome to this groove you can move right
We€™re gonna take you higher (higher)
Not caught in the quagmire (mire)
I can€™t survive on the stupid 9 to 5
I€™d rather be poor writin€™ tunes livin€™ on a commune
Kickin€™ it with my brothers (brothers)
And significant others (others)
Life in pursuit of only money we think its funny
The only thing that money it could ever bring for me
Would be some gifts for my friends follow me now
Trips for my family
The only thing I love is freedom
The people around me I need €˜em
I€™d like to buy the world coat but like I said I said
You could never get me interested in dreams of wealth
Myself my birthday happens to land on April 12th whack
A Coney Island of the mind it€™s mine
I swipe the sweets strip the beats in the sunshine
Loco holmes I stroll because I€™m thinkin€™
A tone poem alone is love medicine then the demon
Spring revolution in my spirit here it is and I will kill with it
Ta-ta-ta Travelin€™ head spinnin€™ from the medicine
Illusions fadin€™ out and comin€™ on again
Unwind your mind then find entire minutes
Abstract the tract of sight day breakin€™ in it
Doles out my share of the world, ocean, and sun
Rising with whirling motion
Yea
I fought, kicked, and screamed my way to getting born
Now I feel warm and I say come on the night won€™t save anyone
Won€™t you roam we€™ve grown so we can let again
I€™m so selected oh white foam the travellin€™
We€™re here, we€™re breathing and we wanna keep out blood running
So we€™re gonna keep gunning to the next homecoming
I like to boogie to the bang (he said come up) bang boogie
Say jump the boogie to the bang bang come on
Your witnessing an operation
As she was taken to the station
take a girl where she'd score
She broke down, a journey's born
Out of my way you strolled
Na na na, na na na
What do you do? I ask you
they're after you, I tell you
you're going to go it alone
know that you have to leave home
What do you do? I ask you
they're after you, I tell you
you're going to go it alone
know that you have to leave home
Two thousand miles to the sea
Under the light with nobody
Strangest faces everywhere
medicating your despair
Feeling that no one cares
Na na na, na na na
None of my plans go as planned
as (you lead me on) that they'll get you
Miserable nightmare you had
and I think it's something new that you get used to
(I) think I'm gonna (think to choose)
that you're coming up for you
then again, maybe not
It'll drive you crazy
(Now they create) another year
You'd return before the fear
Sometimes people get away
Still it haunts you to this day
Feeling they've gone away
na na na, na na na
Are 'yall ready for 311? x2
I'd like to stay here just like this
Its just a momentary bliss
That's all we can hope for
That's a reason to cope for
This life, this life and no more
You will be immortal man
One in the hand
You will know exactly then
When you have
You found the cure
And morse codes for rapture
Get with your rhythm
Get with your nature
The moment's running down a mountian
It can be captured from a fountain
Sometimes all that it can be
Absence of agony
Presure from the lack of pain
You will be immortal man
One in the hand
You will know exactly then
When you have
You found the cure
And morse codes for rapture
Get with your rhythm
Get with your nature
Serendipitous my travels throughout time
I grab a moment like a thief and then
I make it mine
Nothing will comare to your realization
When you com to find out
Your new object of fixation
I try to freeze time try to freeze time for your mind
Perfect snapshot to always rewind
Golden buttered jam golden buttered jam for your slam
Remember it in your synapse diagram
Sweetness is your bein'
Zen Human Walkin'
Steppin' out from shadows
Flowin' like a breeze soft and
When dawn unveils the mornin' star risen
Feel the light feel the love you're christened
With this life not ours not for long
But for the taking take it
The birth light breaking break it
Between the light and dard is a seem
This is caving in
Mutating rearanging your soul
Changing form again
You will be immortal man
One in the hand
You will know exactly then
When you have
You found the cure
And morse codes for rapture
Get with your rhythm
Get with your nature
Serendipitous my travels throughout time
I grab a moment like a thief and then
I make it mine
Nothing will comare to your realization
When you com to find out
Your new object of fixation
I try to freeze time try to freeze time for your mind
Perfect snapshot to always rewind
Golden buttered jam golden buttered jam for your slam
Remember it in your synapse diagram
You will be immortal man
One in the hand
You will know exactly then
When you have
You found the cure
And morse codes for rapture
Get with your rhythm
Get with your nature
Come on' now Come on' and rock it
Come on' now Come on' and rock it
Come on' now Come on' and rock it
Jump to the beat and ?????? with me
Come on' now Come on' and rock it
Come on' now Come on' and rock it
Come on' now Come on' and rock it
Hey rock with me I freak out
To the A.C.I.D. house
With a new school twist bein kissed
But I make all desire to climb higher
On nothin but my own criteria
Steerin a van with the help of my brothers
In crime stayin right for my own time
How can you give a damn give a damn if you approve it
Its a battle
I just freak out (get up get up get up and rock it)
I freak out (get up get up get up and rock it)
Freak Out (get up get up get up and rock it)
Come on come on we'll come back slipped out
A whack as a master laid out the music
Dead by unsung blue shoe
The boy unknown with gone through
I've lost as much psycadelic trip we take
There's another more bizzare we have to make
Would we have no where beyond
Take out the earth the face is gone
My rocks and sand will fill the hole
How strange we should be here at all
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
Come on yo come on and rock this
Come on yo come on and rock this
Come on yo come on and rock this
Yeay
Into whose womb were you woven
And outta who's womb did you first bodies cloven
Light of daybreak blinded next exit
The wild darkness forming inside it
My day wasn't promised me each death it brings reminding we
Are rumbling in this cursed universe where death is birth
Think not but what your manifest is worth
Giving up a verse the worse the curse occurs a thirst
To burst first breaking to the center of the universe
Slamming down on the lingo flow so jam to the bumrush single
Long ago has been become now when you find out there's no break
In the rhythm
Black anima makes my stamina stand alone disown the cinema farewell
To posing decades dozing comin up the steps of the new
Screen rising scenes from the lost world shapes hard to tell
Which is which as if drawn by a child holmes
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
This is a heat to flush your face water
This is a heat to flush your face water
This is a heat to flush your face water
This is a heat to flush your face water
Come on freak out
Yeah, uh-hu, unh
awww shit
what, unh
you know the freaks can't handle it
we keep on searching from the seaside
to the mountainside, come on
hardly outstyled and hardly outblazened
nectar natural, completely amazing
others more concerned with just fronting on hardness
I flow sweet with millennium niceness
I don't know if they're just scared or what
but a little sincerity would knock them on their butt
I keep my dogs at my side and I keep my shit tight
let me tell you how I feel, all right
Y'all's radio rock ain't that tuff
can't move to that ain't deep enough
one more time groove on the line
chill's up my spine, ready, rewind
The only thing that never gets old is honesty
you'll probably be caught up fronting
the only thing you always try to be is hard
because you're scared that someone might pull your card
the only thing that never gets played out
is melody, I'm hearing it calling me
it's plain to see because it's all laid out
Full ride, I'm a master of technology
livin' my life nice in pursuit of groove-ology
I'm getting vibes like you checking me out
without a doubt I pull clout and crush crews in a rout
I'm a Doberman in any given reaction
well-mannered and reserved, yet ready for action
I let you have it all, I got nothin to hide
I tell ya how we comin', we comin' full ride
full ride, full ride, we work in on the inside
as you'd expect we come correct
while others just run and hide
full ride, full ride, we work in on the inside
as you'd expect we come correct
I get fucked up rockin the jams, I bump disco
playin' records all day I then let go
I'm the king of my town
but when my girl is around
parlay like the Count of of Monte Cristo
so simple the jams are in front of me
get drunk in New York, make fun of me
when we play it's a serous thing
to all the people who that gather
here's what we bring
The only thing that never gets old is honesty
you'll probably be caught up fronting
the only thing you always try to be is hard
because you're scared that someone might pull your card
the only thing that never gets played out
is melody, I'm hearing it calling me
it's plain to see because it's all laid out
Yeah, yeah, what
full ride, full ride, we work in on the inside
as you'd expect we come correct
while others just run and hide
full ride, full ride, we work in on the inside
as you'd expect we come correct
yes, yes, full ride, full ride, we work in on the inside
as you'd expect we come correct
while others just run and hide
full ride, full ride, we work in on the inside
as you'd expect we come correct, unh
You know Im ready, and I rock steady
My names not Betty or Teddy, but Nick
And I'm not a hick with a head tick
Though I am from Nebraska
My girl is satisfied, you can ask her
You know I never visited Alaska
Huh, where the oil was spilt
That drunken captain should be killed
For polluting the sea, an atrocity
That fucks with me, well
This one goes to all the birds that drowned
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Just fuck the bullshit, and get with it
Its time to throw down, so I said it
Words of wisdom, thatll keep yall guessing
Cause Im tired of playing and Im tired of messin around
With all yall suckers, and stupid mother fuckers
Who put down what I do
I stand alone with a groove thats new
Now that you know that the rhymes that I say
Are mine alone and I sure you dont play
I kick in your teeth, the condescending frown
Fuck the bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Right about now Id like to turn over the mic to my mentor SA Martinez
Go on hold it, Im poetry in motion
No jokin you pray, my word is spoken
Of the latest, the greatest, of hip-hop persuaders
The line, the rhyme, always amazes brothers
The mic drum is loomin,
And in your mind, my rap rhyme is bloomin like a flower
Fuck the bullshit SA, create the power
Just forget the dumb stuff, I call your bluff
Cause Im a big stick and youre a cream puff
And you hate it, and get frustrated
No tellin just how long you waited
I tell you what
Im a white boy, so I dont like the big butt
And, I got a plan, hand it to the man in the tan van
I would be perfectly sad if rap was fad
But its not, so I thought that Id give it a shot
Stupid dumb lyrics make you think Im a clown
I dont give a damn, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
From chaos comes clarity, I tell ya
what you appear to be, you ought to know
glycerin tears don't fool me, I tell ya
delusions plaguing everybody
Makin that hybrid music back in '90 now it's on ya
I hear we we're the model for the bad you front, we spawned ya
finding it hard to come original, we warned ya
we're shakin the white boys in New York, black girls in California
we come through hip-hop, drum-n-bass, and dancehall rhythms
you want our beats and lyrics, you want to get them
watchin you sink into the depths of opportunism
missing the point, music's about love not pessimism
I'm SA moving supreme and on my team
I rock the mic with a sweet lean
and you know that stated as a fact
the only DJ MC gettin' down like that
metaphorically we are the chief of police, you're rock n roll
and we're positive you stole more that just the radio
now it's 2, 1 and we are back in the control
the jammies are coming, people succumbing cuz we got soul
Everyone needs to forget upon re-enrty
orbiting space quantum saints, we're the only
beginning from a planet so naturally
gifted in the heart lies our technology
it's only right, right
entering in a space of pure delight, light
next contestant on this jam is, tight
feels spontaneous you'll improvise, vise
From chaos comes clarity, I tell ya
what you appear to be, you ought to know
glycerin tears don't fool me, I tell ya
delusions plaguing everybody
Don't even try it, you don't want to disrespect me
if dealing with punks was school, I'd have a Harvard degree
you can't make me hate you no mater how punk you act
no matter what you do I don't react
I'm a perfect example of not giving a fuck
about the catty rude people that just suck
what do you know all of the sudden, ah I usurp you
look it up in the dictionary to find out what I do
I go back to the style I came from
it's not something you can fake son
you're a con man who's run is done
you lead a world wide web of deception
Everyone needs to forget upon re-entry
orbiting space quantum saints, we're the only
beginning from a planet so naturally
gifted in the heart lies our technology
it's only right, right
entering in a space of pure delight, light
next contestant on this jam is, tight
feels spontaneous you'll improvise, vise
From chaos comes clarity, I tell ya
what you appear to be, you ought to know
glycerin tears don't fool me, I tell ya
delusions plaguing everybody
I like to mix with walks of life
Who live life on the other side
Pulling muscles from their shells
A place to some that looks like hell
Oh, a classic song that the jukebox is on has me grooving
The faces here make it so surreal
Oh, in the company of __
One drink away from sleeping on the pavement
What I find so appealing
__ about the happy hour feeling
A party
After party
Till it started to get __
Another and another, what are we celebrating
There’s always something not to miss
Diving back in the abyss
And it gets so very stale
But tomorrows a new tale
In the frolic room
And I’m drunk to the night
And its ___
Oh, in the company of the privileged and the nearly dead
Mixing like a cocktail of your spirits __
In the danger zone is where you’ll find me
In the __
A party
After party
Till it started to get __
Another and another, what are we celebrating
There’s always something not to miss
Diving back in the abyss
And it gets so very stale
But tomorrows a new tale
In the frolic room
And I’m drunk to the night
And its ___
Ooh you draw such pictures in my head
Ooh with so few words I know what you said
Until the time comes
To carry the one
Make that dream real
And be sure it stays done
So let that thought
Bloom in your mind
A vision that's caught
Never left behind
You should just give me a call
You should just give me a call
I think about you much more than I should
Now there's a structure nothing had once stood
No more bluffing it's cards on the table time
What it must be we will take it as a sign
So just give me a call
So just give me a call
Sunset and my love left me
winter and I'm so far
In darkness will it lead me
where the meanings are
I miss and think of you often
no flowers I forgot them
the weather's the same
nothing happens
no love's a hard lesson
patience and years will refashion
what hours will undo
and circles not yet quite circles
somehow close true
I keep on hearing the things that you said
I keep on feeling you go straight to my head
No more bluffing it's cards on the table time
What it must be we will take it as a sign
So just give me a call
So just give me a call
I call you up but you won't talk to me
No space for words there's just no room
I drift away but you pull me in
I'm the ocean youre the moon
Ooh how do I know if it's just me
Sometimes I think that it must be
You gotta know you can trust me
I think about you much more than I should
Now there's a structure nothing had once stood
No more bluffing it's cards on the table time
What it must be we will take it as a sign
So just give me a call
So just give me a call
So just give me a call
So just give me a call
There was an earthquake
In her dreams so she thinks her
Foundation is crumbling away
Fault lines in her words
Hoping to show her so disturbed that
Has shaped her to what she is today
Getting through to her
Getting through to her
Getting through to her
Getting through to her
Sometimes when I call
She tells me things that were not her fault
And her surface starts to break
Breakdown a hurting sound
I want to tell her that it's ok now
But I'm not too sure just what to say
Getting through to her
Getting through to her
Getting through to her
Getting through to her
All she wants is some breathing room
If not tomorrow surely one day soon
All she wants is some breathing room
If not tomorrow surely one day soon
Excuse me did she say
She wished she went away
And not return to the shame
Brought to her those days
We'll take man's dirty deeds
And suck them out like cosmic beings
Into the sun hoping
They'll be happy burning
But life is not T.V.
Life is not T.V.
Life is not T.V.
She's on wounded knee
The wild crazy horse that's me
Her heart parts ??
I feel refreshed when I watch her sleep
Sometimes it's all I need
It's all about the company we keep
Getting through to her
Getting through to her
Getting through to her
Getting through to her
All she wants is some breathing room
If not tomorrow surely one day soon
All she wants is some breathing room
If not tomorrow surely one day soon
If not tomorrow surely one day soon
Purified sounds brush 'em on like paint

take me outside king, yo peace see ya later
Let's step out tonight, all night
the groove is soothin'
Let's step out tonight, all right

Grape vess soda pop, licorice stick
Aunt Mary's summertime backyard picnic
did you drink my beer Doug? yeah I did it
don't tell me to bring you beer
if you think I won't sip it
swinging on swinging on jungle gym sets
daddy talkin' bout the horses he bet
when I got home my friends phoned, hey Holmes
Let's step out tonight, all night
the groove is soothin'
Let's step out tonight, all right
it's a fellow feelin' with my friends, once again
Eat smoked fish, that is my favorite dish

(Aw, now that's good)
Between Mars and Jupiter
There's a gap
For another planet
Now way back yeah
Maybe a mad man
Just blew the shit
Out of it
Now we're tryin'
To get back
In alignment
Explains why we
Go through cycles
Always tryin' to find it
Closin' into the age
Of aquarius
Crazy weather
Floods Tornadoes
Low jet streams
Not gettin better
Enterin' a twilight zone
Activities grown
Every single day
More people spottin' UFO's
Let's come together with this
New coast shit
we got the motherfuckin' kids
Now let's freak this shit
It's messed up when you're feeling
Everything is wrong
takeover the Pentagon
It's fucked up in this paradigm
Cuz i'm burnin' fossil fuels
I dont even need too
free energy has been harnessed
we don't use it why
cuz the techniques been suppressed
the hours glass has passed through granules
thats cool we gotta break it
bust all these rules and switch
change up the pitch
rearrange our views and this
dumb shit we'll ditch
chorus
I found a bootleg of the cosmic conscious
then erased it
visualized the breath technique
slowly became it
now something is watchin' me
since i have found the keys
to free this energy
my high speed light body
cuz the galaxy is crazy
it doesn't amaze me
that we're livin' out of phase
and quickly decaying
6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
is encoded in this plane
we live on
Returning from the water cold alive and shining
Rock a mic in the afterlife while your moon is rising
Heatin' up forcing steam whirling to be seen
The dark held stars are the frost of my breathing
Swimming through the darkness I'm a ghostly shark
Developing like a photograph slowly in the dark
The hearafter the action the main attraction
One love in all of this that I'm going after
Now there's fire inside but black space surrounds you
You think "Where oh where am I"
but even your light continues
See through us see a soul we have not yet
Learned to harness see the next world inside it
We are the people of skin who left water
Inside the dark womb inside of our mother
Prone to the beat and vibe of our tribe
We catch the drift and ride moving tides
Out from a love that will keep on burning
Now see yourself to the next world returning
This life an old place we face to live again
What is it to understand the heareafter
I'm jumping off a cliff into the Milky Way
Throw caution to the wind is what I'm gonna say
I dip into a song, a song I speak in front of you
A song long to see it's overdue
So jump right in just where it is you fit in
I just want to get in, to disc off a ride
We're on a comet
And nothing can stop it
Hang on don't drop it
I got to let it glide
Come on baby take my money
Let me help you make it past
Those days that are not quite yet sunny
But one day will be at last
Yeah take that
I want to borrow some time with real meaning
And then spend our twilight's last gleamings
Just probing the fields of relativity
A grand wandering
Between you and me
I want to boss some time with real meaning
And then spend our twilight's last gleamings
Just probing the fields of relativity
A grand wandering
Between you and me
Uncle Sam
He'll put out his hand
You got to understand
He's gonna take some away
He's got another plan
He's a tax man
Won't say thanks ma'am
Even if you finally make him say good God damn
That's what I said when I first saw you mmm hmm
That's what I say when I don't know what to do
Tell me
How could I adjust the fondness of you
Tell me all the little things
Come on baby take my money
Let me help you make it past
Those days that are not quite yet sunny
But one day will be at last
Yeah take that
I want to borrow some time with real meaning
And then spend our twilight's last gleamings
Just probing the fields of relativity
A grand wandering
Between you and me
Do you get it girl
Grab the money run
And take it off the top
Now go have fun
Don't worry about me
I'll make another sum
You got a live one
Come on baby take my money
Let me help you make it past
Those days that are not quite yet sunny
But one day will be at last
Yeah take that
I dont jones for nothing
Cause thats a waste
Waste of space in my frontal lobe and
I just sit, deal with it, dont have a fit
Do you know what Im sayin?
I just get as down as I can
Dont look to relief from a troubled young man
Just take a piece
Sometimes it sucks
Oh I'm not too sure if I can do this on my own guys
Like I'm thinking maybe we should form a support group
Or perhaps a church sponsored youth group
Oh and then then I say
I looked the other way
I changed my point of view
And heres what I do
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
This..
All the good times, all the bad times
Face it bro, they all will pass
Your problems will seem inconsequential and trivial
When you realize one thing
Were just a speck of dirt on this golf ball
Called earth
So get stupid and sing
And then I feel stupid for saying it in the first place
Cause this aint no woosies anonymous, right chad
That's right (Chad)
Chad asays no
So, fuck it up
Oh, and then and then I see
I looked the other way
I changed my point of view
And heres what I do
This song is passed
So put that in your pipe and smoke it
Everything seems turning
And the jam starts to break
?????????????? circles
And red and not pink
I know its not my place
But something to face
My economy seems to be
In worse than actually
Thriving to the scene
Thriving to the scene
Thriving to the scene
Then Im acting pissed
I couldnt share my fist
The very word is coming
But its a boy that I have missed
Hit it
Thriving to the scene
Thriving to the scene
Thriving to the scene
To be honest
For the boy is hard
He doesnt mean to break all those girls hearts
Perks that flow
Loaded gun
Only says them just to have his fun
And it sounds like this
On my mind
All the time
Youre my one and only
Kick the booty
The boy is not hard
He throws down like a crazy retard
A gentle lie
And a clever line
A deceptive romance makes for him to ?????
And it sounds like
On my mind
All the time
Youre my one and only
And it sounds like this
On my mind
All the time
You know youre my one and only
Here I sit in idle envy
T.V. show still holds me in
Thin steel creases my end fingers
Begging till the end
And then it hits me
And then I see, then I see
Today my love, we shall let the world slide
For we, will never be
Younger again
Well, I’m tired of the ladies and the stupid excuses
Sitting on my ass makes me feel useless
Earth accelerate, hurry up and turn that’s right
I’m starting to burn
Well I get kinda mad like a ????? crawdad
It’s time to throw down, too bad so sad
Don’t step to me when things don’t go as you planned
No, I don’t give a damn
And then it hits me
And then I see, then I see
Today my love, we shall let the world slide
For we, will never be
Younger again, younger again
Younger again, younger again
It’s easier to hurt than heal
Hipocrites they make me ill
Young men yearn to turn the tables
That too is a sin
And then it hits me
And then I see, then I see
Today my love, we shall let the world slide
For we, will never be
Younger again
We all look to the end of a certain social stress
I’m down for that day, but don’t forget the progress
Of wakening things up the passion understanding
Here’s to the youth who aren’t afraid to put a hand in
And then it hits me
And then I see, then I see
Today my love, we shall let the world slide
For we, will never be
Younger again, younger again
Younger again, younger again
I need a break
Something inside me said
The T.V. people counting the dead
A break from all the sadness
Is what I need now, yeah
I remain at a loss for words
Apathy I sense in the hurt
A colder man is senseless no questioning yet
And what's the point
Nothing so dull
Could ever on Earth be brightened in entirely
Just think about it
And what's the point
Nothing so sly
Could ever on Earth be enlightened entirely
Just think about it
Ask me if I'm not blind
I can, I can read all the signs
So many have died
So many out of their minds
Thank your lucky stars
You got it good it's not hard
To be what you are
Thank your lucky stars
We're in a place
I thought we'd never get
People involved that fought or they fled
Running around know how we're going to get out of it, woah
It's a mistake to be paranoid
A mental state that takes strength to avoid
All the hostility and fierce truth we challenge
Here's what's the point
Of living that way
So many close their minds to what others say
Which ever feeling you voice
And what's the point
We're gonna pay
So that I won't wait ?? we'll all have that day
So make a choice
Ask me if I'm not blind
I can, I can read all the signs
So many have died
So many out of their minds
Thank your lucky stars
You got it good it's not hard
To be what you are
Thank your lucky stars
Ask me if I'm not blind
I can, I can read all the signs
So many have died
So many out of their minds
Thank your lucky stars
You got it good it's not hard
To be what you are
Thank your lucky stars
when things are outta whack
and they might collapse
and at the end of the day
you still can't relax
and physically you ache
like a cavity feelin' the blind
on your mind and the rest
of your body
listen to your heartbeat
flow and imagine
become jackson pollack
air brush chinese dragons
on a sky blue conversation
van or electra
buick of the mind full of
luminous matter
and slowly all the pressure
recedes and you stop to decay
naturally think clearly
ultimately through your grace
will give way to traffic jams
submachine guns in hand
city red-necks who think
like the omega man
feelin' the extremes
of the times we're livin'
stockpile spaghetti-o's
and cheerios plannin'
to survive that fall-out shit
its not ambiguous
it be continous
its all about us
its for real man
the continuous life there is no end
movin' through life
movin' through death
my radio emits a signal form
a strange noise the kind of which
i've never heard before
i scan the dial for more stations
but all i get is an eerie feelin'
i'm not dreamin' this is the real dealin'
there's nothin like this trance
i'm caught in a daze
cuz i'm finally out of my body
the blue lights are ablaze
yeah i'm really amazed
and feelin' so light that's right
lift off and i'm into the sky
as if a hologram were created
to shift my conciousness
changed again and i'm flung
in the rift
i wanna be free i wanna do right
i move through the portal
to be purified
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
A way, a reason for someone
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
A way, tiptoe around the turncoat today
Which mood is it gonna be today?
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Always
Shut it down
Get it right
Cause a person can win if you don't even put up a fight
Get it right
Everyone has got something that keeps them awake in the night
That's a fact
Don't think of the times that you let up and gave out some slack
Take it back
Don't think your the only one goin' through it
Take it back
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Always an excuse when you need one...
I dont jones for nothing
Cause thats a waste
Waste of space in my frontal lobe and
I just sit, deal with it, dont have a fit

Your problems will seem inconsequential and trivial
When you realize one thing
Were just a speck of dirt on this golf ball
Called
Its stupid insane
And didnt then I see
I looked the other way
I changed my point of view
And heres what I do
You've got to trust your instinct
And let go of regret
You've got to bet on yourself now star
'Cause that's your best bet
Watch me now with a wicked and wild and I said
We come with the funky style
That gets us known for the show
And we'll mix the hip hop reggae if we say it is so
And fuck the naysayers cause they don't mean a thing
'Cause this is what style we bring
Now it's morning but last night's on my mind
There's something I need to get off my chest
And no matter what may come to shine
The dream will always be mine
All mixed up you don't know what to do
Next thing you turn around and find the person is you
Thought a freak might be the thing
But the first could be the last so just get off your ass
All mixed up you don't know what to do
Next thing you turn around and find the person is you
Thought a freak might be the thing
But you know this will pass so just get off your ass
You've got to trust your instinct and let go of regret
You've got to bet on yourself now star
'Cause that's your best bet
Watch me now with a wicked and wild and I said
Sick sick bit got to have it
Like bustin' in on a session but you got to call it quits
Sick sick bit just can't quit
Fact that you don't even know makes it fully legit
Now it's morning but last night's on my mind
There's something I need to get off my chest
And no matter what will come to shine
The dream will always be mine
You keep me coming,
That is a gal that'l kill 'dem stunning,
Keep me coming,
That is a gal that'l kill 'dem stunning,
Keep me coming,
That is a gal that'l kill 'dem stunning,
Keep me coming,
That is a gal that'l kill 'dem stunning,
You make me nervous throat dry
My brain is empty don't know why
But I saw you doing something
Which is really truly nothing
But you could bust me out all day
Many moons since first I saw you
Many moons since first we did the do
Many moons since first I saw you
Many moons since first we did the do
And why did I try when I knew it was no and
Why did I try when I saw it was so
But save it for late we should just let it skate
Cause the waiting feel is fine
I flip when I kick it trippin it
So I can check shit not in a daily style
But once in every while so I can
File check file check the files of my brain
Many of meaning manage to come from the insane
And the butcher the baker the fabulous drama maker
A cracker on a truck goin' breaker breaker
Listen to everyone then disregard it
The maningful shit comes back back to where it started
In your cranium surrounded by pot like a geranuim
A capital 2 burns in my mind give me some peace
I looked at her I looked at him and neither one did know
Where the wild thoughts grow check it out
I look to absolutes and there absolutely none
The truth is what you shoot for not one
Nothing brings it all together the journeys never done
I'd sing you Stormy Weather but it's been sung so
Let's have some fun
Three Eleven hass grass roots
Challenge comes and goes and there will be another
I say bring it on
The roots that grow underground are as big as the tree
That you see if not it will fall down
We waste so many moments standing on convention
The only survey is when our heart pays no attention
Move with persistence cover much distance
Knowing no perdition that's my game for instance
Three Eleven true to no tradition
And the Three Eleven crew not dow with convention
But a hundred different people already told what we about
So I make not attempt to try and suss the stupid out
I'd turned into a roughneck that was not my intention
It doesn't even really matter unless I fail to mention that
Peace to all crews that want some peace
First the Mid then the West then we slide through the East
A piece to any crew that want a peice
But peace to all crews that want peace
Check it out
I look to absolutes and there absolutely none
The truth is what you shoot for not one
Nothing brings it all together the journeys never done
I'd sing you Stormy Weather but it's been sung so
Let's have some fun
Three Eleven hass grass roots
Challenge comes and goes and there will be another
I say bring it on
The roots that grow underground are as big as the tree
That you see if not it will fall down
We waste so many moments standing on convention
The only survey is when our heart pays no attention
HERE COMES THE THUNDER DOWN UNDER
WE'RE NATURAL WONDERS
NIGHT FALLS WHEN WE LEAVE ALL YOU FEEL IS THE HUNGER
SUNRISES PEOPLE OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES
DIG ON THE DECADE AND REALIZE IT'S FUNKAY
NO MATTER ITS RUDE BOY STILL GOT THAT SWAGGER
MY EARS HAVE HEARD ALL THESE CREWS, BUT WE'RE BADDER
INTERRACIAL, SPECIAL, POSITVIE BEINGS
I AM I BE A COOL AWAKENING
IT'S GETTIN' HECTIC, THE METRICS THE BODY ELECTRIC
EVRYBODY IN WORN OUT BLUE JEANS OR TACKY DRESSES
THIS IS THE CITY WE'VE REACHED WE'VE COME TO
GO UNRECOGNIZED ON THE CORNER OR MAKE MOVES
ALL THE LIGHTS ARE RED ALL THE POETS DEAD
A FAMILIAR NIGHTMARE APPEARS IN MY HEAD
TIMES ARE A CHANGIN' MYSELF I'M REARRANGIN'
DEAM EIGHT-THOUSAND-FIVE-TWELVE ALL BLAZIN'

AW COME ON
Coming like a nightmare word like I'm gonna go for it
Fuckin' around what ya got to show for it?
Let it be know that I'm in the zone
And whatever I need I just pick up the phone
'Cuz I'm true with it and you're new with it
I just swing the thing and then I'm through with it
I don't need friends to act like foes
'Cuz I'm Nick Hexum the one who knows
About things...
'Cuz it takes two and we swings better than you
Then it's time for the dub so we roll out the club
And you know just what I do
I'm hitting in the freak mode
Puttin' on a load sippin' on a guinny
Then lo and behold una vision from bottom to top
And I just can't stop
311 show them the air is rarified
But you don't give a damn 'cuz the groove is hellafied
Grew up punk, listen to funk
I'm a hyper type of fella that does not touch junk
You're the back of the pack and the bottom of the stack
That's waht you get when you're steady talkin' shit
Not goin' for self that shit is on the shelf
It's 95 and we go for the hive
Listen up this you're gonna bump to this
And if I'm feelin' mean I'm gonna clutch my fist
Now when I say mean, I mean I'm gonna rock it
You're gonna find out kid I'm bout to shock it
When I'm on I'm gone I hear the beat that spawns
The way we freak it and we kick up a storm
The day we turn to pop the show will stop
So feel the beat and get lost now
Back to part 2 the hard way we play
Sublime on time to all the
Now I know, fools get their own when they chit chat
Haven't heard yet but you can bet I'm not with that
With that talk with the digi walk
I stalk a bird you heard absurd word to the Fact
I'm a cat nippin sippin on the flask
Passin it talking shit but only if your ass
In front of me cause you could run from me but
In the end revenge send ends to the defendant
I can't get get caught in the spiral cause every bit of energy
It goes to my survival out my way
I'm a flicka flacka blotter ya try to find a weakness
But the shit keeps gettin harder
Fourth of July with Lucy in Sky
I remember pine trees and the coat of many colors
I was nineteen
I'd do anything
Shit like that now scares me but I'd like to do it again
It was Independence day
I've seen the other side and I say
I've been insane
And I won't ever be the same
Cuz we flow we must be fly
First to flow Nickel my brother, so wise
And then I rise
Here's an ill kid pimpin' cuz he is so slick
Step's from darkness his body electric
A drone buzzes the air a cracklin' tone
Then boomin' like thunder in a cosmic jungle
Deathe defyin; like Knievel he weeble
Words that will wobble awkward and evil
Cuz he flow and rock the hardest of the crowds
A marvel pow how you like me now
I've returned the kiss of death the last Damien
From the abyss fresh eternal alien
Now famished from pathless way I ma, do damage
To the wack MC's I know you can't stand this
Right about now get down I'm the annihilator
Rockin with the rhythm of my rhyme detonator
I can't free myself of the suspicion
for your motives on your mission
some people live for the rules
I live for exceptions
can't take part in the deception
but I know just how it feels
to wanna blow the world away
just to get to what is real
it won't work cuz
everybody grinds to a halt now and then
everybody's game gets salt then again
no matter what the papers say, they're normal as they come
bodyguards, ball of wax, the hide behind the gun
they get a panic pulse when they are so far from home
to me that is the reason to continue to roam
exhilaration mix with the people skunk blazing
checking out the shows that are sadly unamazing
Hostile apostle, who are you following
negative energy that you're swallowing
some coked out malcontent
who's soul is up for rent
victim of lost soul, hostile apostle
Unlimited in time and space and nearest universal
light is what we're reachin for, it's not rehearsal
follow this around, follow this hustle
makin use of everything, movin' all your muscle
Angry human leads impressionable boy
to skulls and piercings and will to destroy
all of your heroes speak nothing to me
one emotion, one tempo, and no real feeling
In this field we are the presence of the thoughts you're missin'
keepin' positive intact from all the people dissin'
open your eyes, look at who you're kissin'
if you can't hear it people, just listen
Hostile apostle, who are you following
negative energy that you're swallowing
some coked out malcontent
who's soul is up for rent
victim of lost soul, hostile apostle
Angry human leads impressionable boy
to skulls and piercings and will to destroy
all of your heroes speak nothing to me
you don't have to be a prick just to be heavy
Chaingin' all the time we changin' all the same
change in this life and this eternal flame
warm in the sun, refresh in the breeze
glow in the stars, blossom in the trees
livin' through life in infinite extent
spread undivided, operate unspent
no high, no low, no great, no small
build and bound, connect and equal all
Mother nature supreme step back and dream the hydroponic scene.
Found around knocked out of bounds wound into the mind of my stone cloud.
Taste the thinnest of oxygen rising higher a stoner cus I can groove something.
Wrecking nothing to prove see that's in my nature.
So fresh, the vital bud of the chronic tastes of something thicker.
Everything I eat is from the Earth, right.
I am what I eat straight up Earth, right.
Nothing but a walking sack of Earth nice to meet you how do ya do.
Guess what. Ya you're one too.
My skin holds me in my brain moves me then boom.
I jump straight off the speaker in a form a celebration that we're moving.
Freely disconnected I'm truly grateful I'm going back the Earth.
I'm not gonna waste life being hateful.
Chorus
Kingdom coming through ya.
Jumpin' out my skin.
The skin I'm in.
And the hydroponics?on.
Did it because we wanna toke up until it's gone an abstract notion.
Here to connect me to the ocean.
'Cause I'm water and carboAnd not much else. I felt compunction.
Conjunction junction what's your function.
I'll be hookin' ups verbs and nouns and phrases and clauses as to the causes.
Of misery quizzically I look to my own book hooked on trying to fathom.
The solar systems and atom in a larger molecule called a galaxy cool.
The milky way is where I stay.
Astronomy steppin' stompin' a pow wow I rock the mike and shake up the ground.
And I'm a bust out like wild dandelions in fat bloom. I'm shooting through the cosmos because I loom
you know I'm higher I'm shining brighter yes yes.
Like where water comes together with other water foamin'.
Now I'm Homin'. Like a bird soarin' right to the mood.
I'm a wildflower busting out I go boom.
Chorus.
Picked up on the wrong scent
not gonna make a dent
how many times
are you in my rhymes
burn me once shame on thee
but burn me again, shame on me
I'm chasing and facing the point misplacing
when I think of you my mind's racing
I'm spacing out when I get to the point
of no return, I get burned
I told myself I'm through with you
the last thing that I'll ever do
let down my guard shouldn't be too hard
I know it's over, got to elevate, disregard
I can't believe I fell for it, but did it again
I told myself I'm gonna quit, but did it again
I can't believe I fell for it, but did it again
I told myself I'm gonna quit, but
This was supposed to be the last time
I told myself this wouldn't happen again
I told myself I wasn't ever going to call you
I told myself I wasn't going to let you back in
but here I am dialing, trying
I told myself to get a hold myself
I won't freak out, let you tweak out
on ecstacy not next to me
somethin tells me baby girl that you're testin me
I told myself to get a hold myself
and I'm tryin' I'm not lyin'
don't make me mad, you know I love you bad
I want to sniff the glue that hold me to you
I told myself to get a hold myself
but don't rush me can't you trust me
the sound I hear whenever you are near
I know it's never wrong and it's my favorite song
I can't believe I fell for it, but did it again
I told myself I'm gonna quit, but did it again
I can't believe I fell for it, but did it again
I told myself I'm gonna quit, but
This was supposed to be the last time
I told myself this wouldn't happen again
I told myself I wasn't ever going to call you
I told myself I wasn't going to let you back in
but here I am dialing, trying
And now it's all turned bad
turned bad, turned bad
your ploy to make me jealous
is obvious and sad
it has the opposite effect
now you're left with what you had
you had
The rain comes down as love turns to dust
I was joking she took me serious
the rain come down as love turns to dust
I was joking she took me serious
yes, serious
This was the last time that I was ever going to call you
I told myself I wouldn't let you back in
but here I am dialing, trying
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere.
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere.
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere.
I'll be here a while.
Far is solace in the maddening pace,
sad state written on my face.
Not a tight rope walk but dance, (whoa whoa)
uncertain game of chance, (whoa whoa)
but I'll see it through in time.
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere.
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere.
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere.
I'll be here a while.
And if a person place or thing can deliver I would quiver with delight.
Tempted by the hand that could blind my vision and sight.
But at twenty years of age, (whoa whoa)
in frolic and in rage, (whoa whoa)
I will see it through in time.
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere.
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere.
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere.
I'll be here a while
But the dawn has come into the endless night.
And everything, is going to be alright.
But at thirty years of age, (whoa whoa)
through frolic and in rage, (whoa whoa)
all regressed and healed in time.
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
said I, said I, said I, I will survive.
Just throw away your material possessions
And sing the praises of life
This trip has taught me a valuable lesson
The future brings clarity and vision and sign
It was independence day
Ive seen the other side and I say
Oh, Ive been insane
And I will never be the same
A mountain brings me space
The vine brings me time
Wind brings me change
Unity with the mind
It was independence day
Ive seen the other side and I say
Oh, Ive been insane
And I wont never been same
As the raw son sins in glamour
And his greedy and violent rage
Stimulate and torment assailants
Peace is dead
Uneasy moment as the first warrior stirs
Reveal your denial brings scheming to return
The battle begins as the first victim
Slowly, grudgingly
Submits to the captivity of consciousness
And I say
It was independence day
When i shadow box inside my skull
bothered by the senselessness
I wish for the messiah,
Indian woman, Babylon
There is one thing I
will say on life
we are livin
let it flow
cuz it won't stop
and when the kind
consciousness
come unto you
you will know
and it won't stop
When i wipe the sleep
from my eyes
will my fondest dream please come true
crush my heart with a hammer
make a purer one
Babylon
Chorus
But mean people
I say choke on it
gagging all the way
may you remember
the texture for days
but you'll get used to
the feeling of your pride
chugalug it time after time
learning your lesson
will do you fine
Well i beat a bad rap when i skip a soul trap
Just trippin' and laughin' at the crap
Dap is what i get the best skins that i hit
You know we rock the fuckin' joint and we split
Singin' an ryhmin's what i'm better for
When i describe i'm a scribe with a metaphor
I use a simile lightly 'cuz that shits played
The common way most ryhmes are made, ya know
I rock like this i flow like that
But all those comparisons are just that
Kickin' different styles i'll be right here
Today, tomorrow, next week and next year
I always say what i feel and that is a promise
Nothing in life is above being honest
Sauna is cool compared to being on stage
But that's how it's gotta go in the stone age
The fame in my game i name rapture
Like a polished rock i'll make it shine for sure
Word is that i've travelled become unravelled
I been around the world baby gimme an apple
I'll be your boogie man rather than son-of-sam
What i am is what i am
Though we don't have too long to love a day a night
We only love those who,love us right back
The kid is smart the kid is clever
Stompin' in jack-o-lantern's weather
Backpack strapped 'cuz the world is cold
Headphones pumpin' don't ya know
The kid is smart the kid is clever
Stompin' in jack-o-latern's weather
Rocks his hood and playes it mellow
While maple leaves change into yellow
And oh shit damn honey at it again
Tryin' to beat my high score since the age of ten
See my high score flash on the back glass
I was malcontented doug in gifted class
Now heres the deal we came to heal we gonna rock in rio
Oh no it's not a joke it's how we feel
Put to test like a sugar ray scientist
I'm always dancing in my sunday best
I'm betting on my bliss and my path is lit' see
The microphone is live and i'm rockin' my body
Smooth like reggie miller in an airborne freeze frame
Funky like the kung-fu that can put you to shame
CHORUS
I'm like hey wait a minute
Give a check on two then i' ready to begin it
With a boom boom bap coming outta your trunkies
Give a fat shout out to the phunk junkeez
Striken like a cancer taken chances
But i love to see the girl windin' like the belly dancer
Standin' up front with a tight stomach showin
Me on stage singin, flowin
We just kickin' it live we just kickin' it live
'Cuz if you can't kick it live you gonna die
'Fraid so punk so quit talkin' junk
You need a live show like a ball player needs a dunk
There will come a time
When men will ??
I will take my last breath
And on that day
I'll be dying
At that time will I feel at ease
Will I dream and be at peace
These are things that no one knows
Come on help me now
Why must I think of this until I find
Peace and quiet in the clouding of my mind
There are times but I never come around
I can tell things are getting ok now
What if there is no ending
Turn from where we've been
To a place where all we can see is
Light pouring in
Am I really all that far
Far removed from that ending part
Or just a little closer to
The galaxy's misty heart
Why must I think of this until I find
Peace and quiet in the clouding of my mind
There are times but I never come around
I can tell things are getting ok now
Why must I think of this until I find
Peace and quiet in the clouding of my mind
There are times but I never come around
I can tell things are getting ok now
You're a thousand light years running through my brain
Reminding me that no one's sane
Not all the time
You're a thousand light years running through my brain
Reminding me that no one's sane
Not all the time
Yes i still remember you
In a way that you'd want me to
I man a man you know see
Who will do right for you
Never let your regret make you wish we had not met
I cannot think that way yeah
I drove you crazt i see that plainly
You waited on pins for me
But needles never ever love
What did you think of
A day like today is for you
To let your mind unwind like you ought to
Feel the earth turn 'round when your heart rate slows
Contemplating the thing only your heart knows
That life's not a race
So hard to believe
Part of me will fade
In a mystery
In a future world
Long ago
Parts feel for your love
And lives to tell you so
The world whirls around your mind in a golden spiral
The natural way that things organize
You can't stop entropy so why even try
Observe the conscious flow and don't mystify
Life's not a race
So hard to believe
Part of me will fade
In a mystery
In a future world
Long ago
Parts feel for your love
And lives to tell you so
Uh, hey
Slippin' into a trance
A chance encounter in the autumn
What do I see an opportunity
And then, I got' em
Sought a chill-out mix to
Carve some space
To make you want to listen
It's a bubblin' spring and
Double in kings of
This soundsystem
So hard to believe
Part of me will fade
In a mystery
In a future world
Long ago
Parts feel for your love
And lives to tell you so
Do you see world without end
The rising sun my friend
Imagine cloud-like
You will form again
In the spacey boredom
In the autumn of late afternoon
You are calm
Just like a sleepy room
Fire is my method for destruction
leaving charred wreckage from my latest eruption
unpredictable, my erratic demeanor
bobbing and weaving as my mind gets leaner
though i'm trippin' on legs that stumble but I don't fall down
you know I'm singing out things you mumble from a lack of resound
pissed off mist lifts to honesty
now come down motherfucker with your philosophy
I'm at ease when I feel there's a breeze
give me a little please
Aristotle I'm not but think of Socrates
so are you ready for your lesson blood?
democratic non erratic Socratic method
we'll take away the pain
we'll pacify the bullshit up in your brain
in times of change or the same old thangs
as you maintain or rearrange
Can't nobody do it like 311
fuckin' up competition cause there really is none
steppin' on your game from the first floor up tore up
electricity we store it up
Can't nobody do it like 311
break it down, what it is, dedication
sending out gratitude like we laid it out on Down
throw down fuck the bullshit we're still the sound
Wild and lost speed mad
a long way from sad
lookin' good like you should you're bad
an itinerant dimension mystic is your spirit see
like color absolute bodiless indeed
casual kindred spirit past
all the obstacles you're dealin' with at last
the nasdaq, two puppies, baby needs new shoes
car alarms, your rent, wedding bells, the blues
The tragic fucking comedy that was last night
unfolds to my inner devils sheer delight
a pointless fucking banter in an endless bout
with whiskey soaked frolic room tobacco mouth
then a sickening trip to what I call the elitist cesspool
beckoning all the sycophants and defeated yes-fools
hung over, broke, and a round of apologies
now come down Martinez with the modern mythology
Can't nobody do it like 311
fuckin' up competition cause there really is none
steppin' on your game from the first floor up tore up
electricity we store it up
Can't nobody do it like 311
break it down, what it is, dedication
sending out gratitude like we laid it out on Down
throw down fuck the bullshit we're still the sound
Can't nobody do it like 311
fuckin' up competition cause there really is none
steppin' on your game from the first floor up tore up
electricity we store it up
Hey little brother, you’ve got so much to discover
Can’t you conceptualize what you’re doing to our mother
Those drugs that you chose
Leave you left with the blues
Trust me I‘ve been there
To me its old news
Mending disaster
You’re heading there faster
Its tearing me up
To know you get __
Because you’re caught up in the scene at the age of nineteen
__ at the age of where I had a dream
And those goddamn __ dirt drugs
They’ll fill you with doubt
You’re just getting sucked on a __
And you have to break out
You blacked out on the floor
You told me, the next day they found you that way
Those damn medications had your back baby
It hurt really to come all the way
You’re feeling so __
You’re looking for a place to land
Only understand
How the hell it gets so out of hand
I know that it hard
But you’re risking being permanently scared
You’re hurting inside
But you’re flirting with tragedy on the dark side
Those drugs that you chose
Leave you left with the blues
Trust me I’ve been there
To me its old news
Hey little brother
You messed up another chance
Sooner or later you must take a stand
At the edge of it
All where it begins
To consume that product to its very end
How much time is left
Will it collapse
Will you confess your inner spiritless void
Spinning on no excess
You blacked out on the floor
You told me, the next day they found you that way
Those damn medications had your back baby
It hurt really to come all the way
You’re feeling so __
You’re looking for a place to land
Only understand
How the hell it gets so out of hand
Check it check it check it out
got clout and you know that
Large in the margin
my drama unfolds behind closed doors
told on the down-low
i believe that I’m so but really, i don’t know
maybe it’s better, but I can’t think so
maybe its better to fight, one never ever knows
believe the rumors that grow like tumors
more fun than the truth that we know
Trying
too hard to reach a higher plane
Will fuck you up
when you least expect it
you think you’re moving closer
when suddenly you wrecked it
but all the same, the pain gains wisdom
as if you ain’t had enough then you’re in some
prison of your own creation
mental dilation
look at what your facin’ placin’
blame in every direction (what?)
but in the end it’s your own infection, (di?)
There’s no way to avoid listening
you'll always end up listening
here’s hoping the voices aren’t too unkind
here’s hoping the voices are benign
it’s easier when you hear it
there’s no reason to fear it
it’s you
You think they’ll probably find you
well then you’re probably right
cause they’ll come back to remind you, for eternity
of when you gave up the fight, yeah
somehow they always will find you
the voices in the night, every night
keep comin’ back to remind you, for eternity
of when you gave up the fight
There’s no way to avoid listening
you'll always end up listening
here’s hoping the voices aren’t too unkind
here’s hoping the voices are benign
it’s easier when you hear it
there’s no reason to fear it
it’s you
sometimes the only thing that saves you
think of bad things luck never gave you
and although true love has just left you
well at least you mother kept you
be sure that a dreams alive
there only short burst in life
are you able to be satsfied
do you expect fun all the time
hey we can rock it easy and lay it in the fold
hey we can shake you simply just by being cold
and if it falls apart will you still be my friend
get back we're gonna stick together
and so many things that have gone wrong
at least you have ears to hear this song
and if you reading in close caption
there's still bad things that could have happened
long time since we've first came here
and sometimes we fall on deaf ears
one thing i've got to say before sales die
stay positive and love your life
Brainstorm, take me away from the norm'
I've got to tell you something
This phenomenon, I had to put it in a song
and it goes like...
(chorus)
Whoa. Amber is the color of your energy
Whoa. Shades of gold display naturally
You wanna know hwat brings me here. Mmmmm...
You glide through my head, blind to fear
and I know I....
(chorus)X2
You live too far away
Your voice rings like a bell anyway
Don't give up your independence
unless it feels alright
Nothing good comes easily
sometimes you've got to fight...
(chorus)
Lost 1000 ships in my heart so easy
still it's fine from afar a
nd you know that....
Whoa. Brainstorm...take me away fromt he norm'
Whoa. I've got to tell you something...
Will I say?
Leaving this Babylon
Say I'm leaving this Babylon
Leaving this Babylon
Will not be to long
Will not be to long
Say my people are starving
But your money's running
I said my people are starving
But your money's running
I say your dollar, dollar cut down real low
You ain't got nothin' to show
Gonna' step right through the door
Not gonna' come back no more
Cuz a polition lied
My mama just did cry
And nothing ever gonna' change
My father just desides
Her sisters just a line
And I ain't got nothing to claim
Oh...
Will I say?
Will I say
That, did it go away?
Now did you leave today?
Yeah...yeah...
Wake your mind up, clear your eyes up
move and rise up before your times up
clock is ticking, your caught slippin'
stop to realize, look and listen
Well I guess that's life
when you see a dark road up the way
and I guess that's life
when you gotta roll through anyway
now don't scream, don't fight
fear never ever made it go away
same ghost town as yesterday
made you feel like love was miles away
Wake your mind up, clear your eyes up
move and rise up before your times up
clock is ticking, your caught slippin'
stop to realize, look and listen
Now those sleepless nights
thoughts just cloud up my brain
feeling helpless, repeating the same
old memories of pain and I wish it would rain, yo
gimmie starlit skies for dreamland
I know it's really smaller than it seems but when
the pressure gets under my skin
I just wanna get out and scream in the wind, yo
The world we're livin in is complicated
the streets that we walk on are dark and jaded
a wandering suld that's filled with hatred
in it is poison, the youth is tainted
social engineering keeps us separated
media control is highly overrated
ignorance is bliss to those uneducated
listen to the message cuz it's time we faced it
Wake your mind up, clear your eyes up
move and rise up before your times up
clock is ticking, your caught slippin'
stop to realize, look and listen
I'm controller of my destination
gotta change my mind to help me break away
the sun creeps over the hillside to shed this light
no man could take away
and I guess that's life
you see a new side from the norm
a new direction and meaning to the form
and the calm in the eye of a storm, yo
Show me a desert that can never be drenched
I'll show you a thirst that can never be quenched
temptation chronicles, the story of my life
been spent on a dose of balancing strife
inspiration it comes and goes
you can bet when it hits, I'm on the phone
singing to my voicemail trying to get it down
in a sensation of shape shifting sound
you're telling fables to cover up your foibles
from overindulgence on things you find enjoyable
designed to take my mind away from the truth
try to make me out to play the sleuth
they want you to think someone's watching you
so they can make up a set of rules for you
I'm just trying to find a path that I can stomach
just trying to make some sense out from it, unh
don't stop, don't stop what you got
don't stop til you find the sweet spot
Wake your mind up, clear your eyes up
move and rise up before your times up
clock is ticking, your caught slippin'
stop to realize, look and listen
I'm takin' to the bridge and there's a different country
I'm bringing with me the people I know deep down are funky
Oh yeah we dap we got the juice it's on tap
Never take the time to rewind all the weak crap
Here take it it's yours the gift is calling
The sunshine be falling our way first every morning
I'm a magician you see I'm christened with condition
Held over from a future would I've come to you so listen
There's a place out in deep space
Where all the brothers chant and dance and rant
And shave their heads like Buddha
I'm a fly guy you know I'm smoother
Of course no remorse is felt for all those loser crews
I do not care what you do, I always screw up
But when I do it's nothing like you, I wish you grew up
You're saying anything like promised to get clean
Won't kick half dead fucked up in the head
Just get him out of here he's making me sick
We push a sucker out
With much force and much clout
Didn't want to do it
Thats not what were about
But we got to have a limit
How low can you get it
Seems about time to
Change the subject
And sing about the wise eyed
That makes me feel
Good and never do
I leave misunderstood
I know you feel good too
You got a choice of what I'm gonna do It's like this that
Earth is where is at
Mix a melody with some back chat
Tell 'em again
Dam I know you feel good too
You got a choice of what you're gonna do it's like this that
Earth is where it's at
Mix a melody with some back chat
I'm rollin' slow no particular place to go so nothings changed
The more things stay the same the more it doesn't matter
To a latte day St. Bernard acting hard
But I throw down like a crazy retard
But what cold make a man
Wanna walk around the school yard with his tool hard
What could make the switch to call a woman a bitch
It probably dawned when you couldn't get a date to the prom
And you were stuck with Beavis
Let's leave us on a note of positivity
I'm saying this for levity
But if I leave it brief I call it brevity
I said I see the people rocking
Which means there's no stopping the flow
And you can just tell 'em that you know
Every night yeah we turning up
And comin' off live
Like and final 311 battle breakin idols
On the one you never heard before
You know the hardcore rockin
Pumping the dance floor
Leave ya feet sore lookin for your Micatin
Cecause the mic is deadly int he mood we in
Certified not fakin coool like a Jamaican
Every time the enemy hear us they will be shakin'
I know you feel good too
You got a choice of what I'm gonna do It's like this that
Earth is where is at
Mix a melody with some back chat
Tell 'em again
Dam I know you feel good too
You got a choice of what you're gonna do it's like this that
Earth is where it's at
Mix a melody with some back chat
My computer is future shockin’
download this and you’ll start talkin’
upgraded, you’re now walkin'
compatible with all that is rockin’
comin’ on fast, it’s getting’ digital
it’s so huge, like a spiritual
rippling out to every individual
this is life, it is a miracle
Evolution has exponential timing
it’ll be half as long
till the next breakthrough that blows our mind
its up to the people to brave on with experimentation
move forth the species
by using our imagination
But can we handle it
could we dismantle it
or should we fear the void
and just be para-paranoid?
if it’s understood
it could be used for good, and would
if you will believe in
all we can conceive
On the periodic table they got it all wrong
let me lay it down for you in this song
people want PT, they want AU
but lemme tell you what you really ought to do
figure out ways to master silicon
fiber-optic connectors, whatever’s beyond
so many people don’t even attempt to understand
the limitless possibilities of man
Evolution has exponential timing
it’ll be half as long
till the next breakthrough that blows our mind
its up to the people to brave on with experimentation
move forth the species
by using our imagination
But can we handle it
could we dismantle it
or should we fear the void
and just be para-paranoid?
if it’s understood
it could be used for good, and would
if you will believe in
all we can conceive
I feel trapped, i gotta adapt
remain calm collecting before I get zapped
my computer is a rebel, acting all fine and
just like that payin’ me no mind
what’s up, is it's program over come by a glitch
is it becoming conscious
and if so, ain't that a bitch
i'll paid too much for this piece
i'll be damned if it tries any funny business
it'll be the one that pays the price
Evolution has exponential timing
it’ll be half as long
till the next breakthrough that blows our mind
its up to the people to brave on with experimentation
move forth the species
by using our imagination
using our imagination
But can we handle it
could we dismantle it
or should we fear the void
and just be para-paranoid?
if it’s understood
it could be used for good, and would
if you will believe in
all we can conceive
Yes we can handle it
we could dismantle it
we should not fear the void
and just be para-paranoid
if it’s understood
it could be used for good, and would
if you will believe in
all we can conceive
I can see it now have to show you how
The funny thing is that we couldn't have it any other way
Still it kills me when we say
All we've been through
All the songs that I've sung for you
We both know I'm gonna lose you
I hate to be alone
There comes a time to reap what you've sewn
All we've been through
All the songs that I've sung for you
We both know I'm gonna lose you
Let's think of all the good times
Instead of wish we could times
So much better that way
This is what I ask for
This is what I deserve
Be careful what you ask for
Let's think of all the good times
Instead of wish we could times
So much better that way
This is what I ask for
This is what I deserve
Be careful what you ask for
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you
Story time
Sways away the haze
They spent contemplating, formulating, theory siring above me swimming
Pay tribute to the few we look up to
Come again
You my soul fool
Who will know us but our brothers
Those who down with us are thinking
New school, tip top, pound the feeble
Walking and talking
Low down and evil
Follow me now
Yo Vato
The nix hex is on
Would everybody just look at the hook
I took it strait from my brain
Reminds me of the time I was insane
And so I wrote it when I was loaded
And voted the least likely to turn out like a square
I'm singing it for your mind and no
I'm singing it for your ears
Jump up and down and leave the ground and know that's why your here
And they say down diggey down down, down diggey diggey down,stronger, longer
Line up your ways of know what I'm thinking say it again
And now I'm with my home team back with a good seat
I gladwick like chadwick to tell you what I mean
Were laying back on it just like good sex
Smooth yet physcodelic its called the nix hex-um
The monologue of a singalong
Las banderas de san juan piden pa ?????
'I'm feelin' fine, lord it's time'????? Go tell it on a mountain ,then again bring a friend
You'll maybe get dizzy with a scence of vertigo
Uplifted soul from the view that I'm on nothin' but love
But love
But love in my blood sonic in the vortex
This is the hip thing
Called the nix hex
Dig it
Begin
Come see me now come see me now baby
Come see me now come see me now aye
Come see me now come see me now Baby
Come see me now come see me now
I'm wickedy wild I need to put down
I come without a wreck so let's get
I'm wickedy wild I need to put down
I come without a wreck so let's get down
I want to make some music in this country
And I am the rhythm missionary with the melody
Wait a minute, just a minute
Yes yes time to rhyme and shine now rip it rip
Jump up and down cause that's the 311 style
Cruise on by the frowners, float follow me now with a smile
I got a golden ticket not gonna even pick it
I heard it he said it I heard it but it we but it went something like
The rhythm will make you want to move your body
I had it once and never ever forgot it
Nix Hex
Music: Hexum; Lyrics: Hexum/Martinez
Story time
Sways away the haze of
Days spent contemplating, formulating,
theory searing above me swimming
Paying tribute to the few we look up to come again
You my soul food
Who will know us but our brothers
Those who down with us are thinking
New school,
tip top,
pound the feeble
Walking
and talking
Low down
and evil
Follow me now
Yo Vato
The nix hex is on
Well everybody just look at the hook
I took it straight from my brain
Reminds me of the time I was insane
And so I wrote it when I was loaded
And voted the least likely to turn out like a square
But then I'm singing it for your mind and know
I'm singing it for your ears
Jump up and down and leave the ground and know that's why your here
And they say down diggy down down, down diggy diggy down,stronger, longer
Wind up your waist of know what I'm thinking say it again
And now I'm with my home team back with a good seat
I gladwick like chadwick tell you what I mean
Were laying back on it just like good sex
Smooth yet physcadelic its called the nix hex-um
The monologue of a singalong
Las banderas de san juan piden pa
"I'm feelin' fine, lord it's time"?
Go tell it on a mountain ,then again bring a friend
You may begin
dizzy with a scence of vertigo
Uplifted soul from the view that I'm on
nothin' but love
But love
But love in my blood sonic in the vortex
This is the hip thing
Called the nix hex
Dig it
Not I'm not the type to just act like I know
Puttin on an angle putting on a show
Speaking on nothing makes you a stunt
I'll tell you right here yo I don't front
I cross the t's and skip nonlegitimacies
Or else please
I cannont handle all the negative vibe merchants
Is that all you have in you per chance
So much angst an pain it's so wack
You should take a tip from the one Frank Black
Play some pachinko play some parcheesi
Cause all the angst shit is just cheesy
It's the 311 bliss too smooth for pissed
Lyrics talkin loud again
Yeah we are the party men
Cosmetics that you fretted
We sport the high asthetic
Here go rap kickin the dazzled crazy mathematic
I am what I am mix some old school jams onto tape cuz the
Party's in the crates I scan step into the realm
What you gonna do
Get the party people something funky to listen to
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got see
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got see
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got see
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got see
Bodyrock pop and lock here's an example
Boulevard chrome beats always ampin your temple
Punks get got in the age of hip hop
It's just begun like stolen bikes on the blacktop born to sing a lyric
Immaculately concepted
No strain in your game if your game is respected
Come as you are radio star
Drown out the hatred with a rhyme
An electric guitar dispatched when rap shattered
The glass of radio access
May we turn some soul on their rythmless dances
You know the time and they'l know the scoop
They'l say it was a rhyme and a beat of a rap group
Your rhymes have been outmoded
Your rhymes have been outmoded
Your rhymes have been outmoded
Your rhymes have been outmoded
Your rhymes have been outmoded
So just quityourbellyachin'
You're saying that your tortured
Give me a fuckin break and
Maybe take out the source
Of your disparing what do I mean
Kick the fuckin heroin
I speak from experience
Because I didn't see clearly once
Acting like I dunce
In 1989 I was cocaine and Jim Beam
But now it's 95 and I'm ginseng
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got see
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got see
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got see
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got see
My Stoney Baby
The fish who keeps on swimming.
Is the first to chill upstream.
I want your fish right by me.
That's how it has to be.
The songs I sing they don't mean a thing if you're not there to hear it,
but then soon is the time you'll be by my side.
It's copesetic if you let it so set up and keep the down stream down and up stream up.
Girlfriend boots & all you lookin' fresh again.
Move toward me so I can smell the sweetness of your flesh dam.
Cool down your fine self when I find my way to the wetness of your sweet mouth.
Sweetly in every way that you treat me.
A fish story but you know it's picture perfect.
Our morning glory every time that we wake.
The morning ride is the longest ride take it.
Like this take it like that take a yin and a yang.
It's time to find the kind.
Like my man jack sprat to do down forever it's wetter.
Titillate the flow.
Can't say it any better.
Swimmin' and hummin' with a body and soul.
It's time to find the kind titillate the flow.
Swimmin' and hummin'.
Can't say it any better.
My Stoney Baby.
My Stoney Baby.
And now I'm in here with my friend ruskie.
In their house but they're not home.
If they find out what's been on.
They'll kick us out and we'll be gone.
No pool and that's not too cool.
The songs I sing they don't mean a thing. If you're not there to hear it,
but then soon is the time you'll be by my side.
It's copesetic if you let it so set it up and keep the down stream down and up stream up.
My stoney, my baby, swings w/the groovin'. Funk the groovin' thang whistlin'.
As I rip my rhymes.
Time and time again struttin'. And in the summertime.
So screw it strip down and be generic.
Strip down and be a passenger, strip down and be a messenger.
In askin' why I'm borI come up blank in the winter.
In askin' why I'm born I come up on when I'm on her.
My summer his summer it could be one to go down to go down.
It's time to find the kind titillate the flow.
Forever together and then I kiss.
Swimmin' and hummin' with a body and soul.
It's time to find the kind titillate the flow.
Swimmin' and hummin'.
And then I kiss.
My Stoney Baby.
My Stoney Baby.
My Stoney Baby.
My Stoney Baby.
Hey you got to step outside to see what's going on
Hey you can't run and hide when the 'psybin trip is on
Not like this have you seen such green
A spot like this becomes serene
I'm glad your here i have no fear
We trip the 'shrooms fantastic
And shit gets drastic elbow pull and kick
We trip the 'shrooms fantastic
'N sit gets drastic, check it out
Right now my brain is fragile
But you seem so agile we'll amke it in tea
And we'll see what there is to see
CHORUS
Make an instrumental add a little vocal
Take to the stage and make the people go loco
Make an instrumental add a little vocal
Take to the stage and make the people go loco
Boom boom you got the spinning of the room
Quite right you got the breaking of the light
Boom boom you got the spinning of the room
Quite right you got the breaking of the light
Ad the sun and the moon and the spinning of the room
It does to my sight what the prism does to light
You're quicker than me ridiculous see
You come follow me get lobotomy
You're quicker than me ridiculous see
You come follow me get lobotomy
CHORUS
Make an instrumental add a little vocal
Take to the stage and make the people go loco
Make an instrumental add a little vocal
Take to the stage and make the people go loco
Make an instrumental add a little vocal
Take to the stage and make the people go loco
Make an instrumental add a little vocal
Take to the stage and make the people go loco
Between this world and the next
I want to locate a bit of you
Will I feel it
Or gaze an emptiness
Who guessed it could be so unfinished
A never-ending infernal cross
Yes yeah where is that bliss
The ordinary life I knew that was so exquisite.
You long for the flowers
I get more from the hours spent
Man instead of free of descent
A day without argument
You said you long for the flowers
That you remember
A song sang from the shower
How I used to bend words
You ask me where did all that go
And I have no answer
I admit that I'm giving up hope
And wandering if it can survive
One day will we just begin again
One day
Will we begin again
You said you long for the flowers
That you remember
A song sang from the shower
How I used to bend words
You ask me where did all that go
And I have no answer
I admit that I'm giving up hope
And wandering if it can survive
Something to take lightly
The one thing we feel
I wish we're surviving
The time, the time
It steals like a thief
Woah, Something to take lightly
The one thing we feel
I wish we're surviving
The time, the time
It steals like a thief
When I go back to places where we were
I see the path of affectation
It's easy to get back to a blur
Of countless inspired revelations Ah Yeah
We're futuristic and we're on the way
so now go into a quiet meditative state
invoke the 13th ray the vibration
it'll give you a transformation
and will serve as initiation
First you gotta break with drastic measures
Then confusion gives way to flash of light
That moment is the thing I'll always treasure
Mediocrity should never get it right but they might
In the genesis of the solar mind
amid the fractals and the combinations
of the signs it's not hard to find
patterns that flow bright
and the bluest light
now enhanced with your crystal sight
Never forget
it will be wicked
get your ticket
bomb the town
with a sound
shakes the ground
everybody
Never forget
it will be wicked
get your ticket
bomb the town
with a sound
shakes the ground
everybody get down
A mighty stupid set of currents
To swim through around me now
A bigger task to hold location
Then to swim upstream some how
The art of remaining free
Is a skill upon itself these days
The overflowing things for you to see
Others talk you out of doing your way Ye-ah
You've established some telepathy
and tech-remote viewing
so you're all-knowing right
answer me how the future will be
is it the end or just the beginning
follow me
First you gotta break with drastic measure
Then confusion gives way to flash of light
Next your gonna find blissful pleasure
In a freedom reigning through blissful foresight Ye-ah
Do it smoothly
feel the love let it soothe thee
send ya to bliss with all the wisdom
of the sweetest kiss
world that you know
sacred temple
is what you're given
receive the medicine
Never forget
it will be wicked
get your ticket
bomb the town
with a sound
shakes the ground
everybody
Never forget
it will be wicked
get your ticket
bomb the town
with a sound
shakes the ground
everybody get down
A mighty stupid set of currents
To swim through around me now
A bigger task to hold location
Then to swim upstream some how
Never forget
it will be wicked
get your ticket
bomb the town
with a sound
shakes the ground
everybody

I'm all right I feel real light
I don't live a life that's uptight
Where there's fight there's struggling
I can't walk through the world
Without offering questions
What's my direction
Breakin' the grip of depression
There comes a day when you let THINGS go
There comes a time to a rock show
You know the time that you feel
THAT nothing else really matters
You're on the spot in the world
AND you belong
That's where I am when the lights going down
I'll find a way to make some fun
I know that there is a link of energy
To someone
How do you feel?
Cuz I couldn't ask for
A single thing more
How do you feel?
The moment you know
Just what you are for
I'm on a quest with a vision
I've got love and tradition
I wear a mask that grins and laughs
I remember what I've done
I'm a vibe under the sun
I penetrate all dimensions
I've come again
Rejuvenate within
I'm future animation
I feel the fuel rushing through my veins
It's a burning flame
You could take on the world
It's all in your brain
How do you feel?
Cuz I couldn't ask for
A single thing more
How do you feel?
The moment you know
Just what you are for
(bridge)
How do you feel?
Cuz I couldn't ask for
A single thing more
How do you feel?
The moment you know
Just what you are for
How do you feel?
Cuz I couldn't ask for
A single thing more
How do you feel?
The moment you know
Just what you are for
Here comes the thunder down under
We're natural wonders
Night falls when we leave all you feel is the hunger
Suprises people of all shapes and sizes
Dig on the decade and realize it's all funkay
No matter this rude boy still got that swagger
My ears have heard all these crews but we're badder
Interracial, special, positive beings
I am i be a cool awakening
It's gettin hectic the metrics the body electric
Everybody in worn out blue jeans or tacky dresses
This is the city we've reached we've come to
Go unrecognized on the corner or make moves
All the lights are red all the poets dead
A familiar nightmare appears in my head
Times are changin' myself i'm rearrangin'
Dream eight-thousand-five-twelve blazin'
Born to act out, born to act out
Paranoid with a gat
Born to act out, born to act out
Think you know where it's at
Born to act out, born to act out
But you're lookin' like a sissie
Born to act out, born to act out
Guns are for *******
I'm not from philly but some say i'm blunt
That's just the way i am and i'm not going to front
And yes i took a trip to find out about the ways of big
City seedy bars and drugs that make you feel shitty
Pretty older women in skirts conversation frisky
Stinking cigarettes and plenty of bourbon whiskey
Sad classic music on the jukebox of doom
Hollywood blvd. barfly frolic room
Tomb of lost souls some beyond salvage
Some just having fun opening steam valvage
I was one becoming the other hellbent to discover
Had to pull up the reigns or else smother
Take it brother all the way and then you're scared
Don't want to be unprepared
You're getting paranoid
And then guns are shared
You guys think that you're hard
But you're in fear of being harmed
I fear no man and i'm unarmed
Born to act out, born to act out
Paranoid with a gat
Born to act out, born to act out
Think you know where it's at
Born to act out, born to act out
But you're lookin' like a sissie
Born to act out, born to act out
Guns are for *******
Running the ship on an ego
Shutting the mind and closed out
People would ask where did he go
As the boat sunk down
Lie to yourself it's so tragic
You become a wreck in slow mo
Breaking it down 'til you're all alone
I'm in the center of a labyrinth
I feel lost I feel imprisoned
Tell me there's an end
I need some oxygen
How did I get here
Help me make it out of here
I can see it all now clear at last, the fog has lifted
If I only knew
All came in focus at once, it's such a gift
If I knew the truth
As long as I've been here never could I steer clear of myself
Think what I could do
Sun come through
What if I'd kept it together
And never to bounce off the ground
It couldn't have got any better
With anyone around
That's how I got here
That's how it got so clear
I can see it all now clear at last, the fog has lifted
If I only knew
All came in focus at once, it's such a gift
If I knew the truth
As long as I've been here never could I steer clear of myself
Think what I could do
Sun come through
I'm finally home
I see a light house
I don't have to roam
It's not all black out
I can see it all now
Out of nowhere came a clue
Truth I hid the truth I hid from me
Hit the skids I hit the skids only
To find a light to light my way home
Sun come through
I lost it all and all that was left
Beat of my heart, air of my breath
Better late than never
I'm finally home
I see a light house
I don't have to roam
It's not all black out
I can see it all now
Out of nowhere came a clue
Truth I hid the truth I hid from me
Hit the skids I hit the skids only
To find a light to light my way home
Sun come through
Sun come through
How long has it been
Since you let me in?
I need it yesterday
I've always been that way, oh
I'm excitable to a fault
But that's my fault
All the time grinds to a halt
Seconds assault
Rush the earth on by
Planet, spin!
Tell me just how long's it been?
How long has it been
Since you let me in?
I need it yesterday
I've always been that way,
There are no abstracts
The metaphysics between us
Are showing us patience
Alert and attentive
In the white star, silence
We get out of the harness
The farthest and we
Make it through the darkness
How long has it been
Since you let me in?
I need it yesterday
I've always been that way
But when I get back to the present
Back in the moment
I'm so grateful that you stayed
The order of the day
Bliss no delay, play
See that everything is so much more than okay
Feel the rhythm, feel the rhythm play-ay
How long has it been
Since you let me in?
I need it yesterday
I've always been that way
How long has it been?
How long has it been?
Yo, word up, Im talkin to you
Makin dope rhymes, thats what I do
Like a madman, you know I'm bad, man
I slam, a good goddamn
Well I concur so goddamn badly
I could just sit and sing the blues
But instead I'll make a fist, yeah
And make my own bad news yeah
Take my advice
You'll pay the price
Make it funky like this
Good god
Damn
Yo, what else is dissin me
That's right, its pissin me off
Rock me baby? What?
You don't mean that crap
What the hell, if it sells
Damn, youre a sham,
No thank you, maam
Bitch
Oh, I get burned badly
I could just sit and sing the blues
But instead Ill make a fist, yeah
Make my own good news, yeah
Take my advice
You'll pay the price
Make it funky like this
Good goddamn
I tell you what
Alles Klar
My name is volatile
I've been this way a long while
I'd surely like to rest
But the energy gets the best of me
It's been a wild ride
I wouldn't change a minute
I can't slow down inside
Guess that's why I live it
The years of mischief
Followed by weeks of thrift
I land on earth's hard face
No legs could keep that pace
And through the rest I sift
Is there ever a time
When the state of sleeping willingly leaves my mind
Highly frustrated wanna feel elated
Come monday morn you feel checkmated
You can be uncool and become the rule
Exceptions were made to drown
I'm not used to it, you'd think I'd be by now
The ins the outs the ups and the downs
I wanna make a mess
I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire
Just creatures for a while
I wanna make a mess
I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire
Just creatures, Just creatures
It comes and goes and comes and goes
Sometimes I go a little crazy
Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do
I know what you we're gonna say
But were afraid to cause dismay
You're lyrics switched around
The mixture watered down
And now a pointless display
It's something one won't understand
Unless there in it with me hand and hand
Don't buy the fear don't buy that my dear
The things you love you must keep near and
Carry on and you won't feel withdrawn
Even if you're coming down
Sometimes it's wearable sometimes is bearable
I careen towards balance til' the glass is full
I wanna make a mess
I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire
Just creatures for a while
I wanna make a mess
I wanna blow off stress
I wanna stoke the fire
Just creatures, just creatures
It comes and goes and comes and goes
Sometimes
Sometimes I get a little out there
Sometimes I go off
Sometimes just like you
I go a little crazy
Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do
Sometimes I go a little crazy
Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do
I dont insist
I am no fabulist
You can take it
Take it
Dont leave it
Yeah just get loose cuz I will tell the truth
I hope you like it
My thoughts
All I got
I stare
At the curl of your hair
At the strength of your charm
I feel like Ide give my left arm
But Im sure that youve heard this before
And when we spend the night
I check if your alright
How it was
I dont mean to bug
If it ended now
I would just think of how
How it was
In love
Yes in love
I stare
At the curl of your hair
At the strength of your charm
I feel like Ide give my left arm
But Im sure that youve heard this before
Like I said before
Ill say it once more
New you would make me feel so good
Wanna do you right
Cant get enough
This is the stuff lifes about
And it trips me out
Wanna do you right
You are so good to me
I just want to see
That picture
Of you
You gave me
Though it fell out of my pocket
It hangs like a locket in my head
It will be there till Im dead
I stare
At the curl of your hair
At the strength of your charm
I feel like Ide give my left arm
But Im sure that youve heard this before
Like I said before
Ill say it once more
New you would make me feel so good
Wanna do you right
Cant get enough
This is the stuff lifes about
And it trips me out
Wanna do you right
Like I said before
Ill say it once more
New you would make me feel so good
Wanna do you right
Cant get enough
This is the stuff lifes about
And it trips me out
Wanna do you do you do you do you do you
Like I said before
Ill say it once more
New you would make me feel so good
Wanna do you right
Cant get enough
This is the stuff lifes about
And it trips me out
Wanna do you right
You could lose your mind
Easier than you would like to think
Your best friend could up and leave you
Playing tricks and cold deceive you
Standing there people stare
Let down by your own mind
Day of appreciation
For ways your mind has not yet let you down
The truth is that we will all go
Maybe five minutes after the show
You know you are a shooting star
A blazing flash then gone
(Chorus x2) Are we advancing or a collapsing
Visionary
Are we really here
Are we imaginary
As my thoughts separates
Into the many frayed parts
Torn shattered bits
My mind falling apart
What if there was such a thing
What if there’s such a thing called
dependence day
There’s no self congratulation
Just a day of appreciation
Quietly humbly
For things that have not gone wrong
Imagine the frustration
Of losing bearing of the simplest thing
So come with your best and do your worst
before
You can’t remember what you came for
(Chorus)
Blazing out the mains
Hungry flames consume all that I see
(Chorus x2
You know Im ready, and I rock steady
My names not Betty or Teddy, but Nick
And I'm not a hick with a head tick
Though I am from Nebraska
My girl is satisfied, you can ask her
You know I never visited Alaska
Huh, where the oil was spilt
That drunken captain should be killed
For polluting the sea, an atrocity
That fucks with me, well
This one goes to all the birds that drowned
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Just fuck the bullshit, and get with it
Its time to throw down, so I said it
Words of wisdom, thatll keep yall guessing
Cause Im tired of playing and Im tired of messin around
With all yall suckers, and stupid mother fuckers
Who put down what I do
I stand alone with a groove thats new
Now that you know that the rhymes that I say
Are mine alone and I sure you dont play
I kick in your teeth, the condescending frown
Fuck the bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Right about now Id like to turn over the mic to my mentor SA Martinez
Go on hold it, Im poetry in motion
No jokin you pray, my word is spoken
Of the latest, the greatest, of hip-hop persuaders
The line, the rhyme, always amazes brothers
The mic drum is loomin,
And in your mind, my rap rhyme is bloomin like a flower
Fuck the bullshit SA, create the power
Just forget the dumb stuff, I call your bluff
Cause Im a big stick and youre a cream puff
And you hate it, and get frustrated
No tellin just how long you waited
I tell you what
Im a white boy, so I dont like the big butt
And, I got a plan, hand it to the man in the tan van
I would be perfectly sad if rap was fad
But its not, so I thought that Id give it a shot
Stupid dumb lyrics make you think Im a clown
I dont give a damn, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Fuck the Bullshit, its time to throw down
Na na na na na na
Aw yea I've seen the devil and the devil is coke
Not down like that cuz it ain't a fuckin joke
Trip ther shrooms fantastic
Shit gets drasctic I didn't believe a word
Can you hear this can you hear in the
Make the music soothin' your system
Come on now, come on now
Hear the beat so sweet I shouldn't tell you how

Much love to my man
Stan Thomas
Yea you say like what up to our man
Eddy Offord

And I'm what you might call a heretic
Yes, and I am from Nebraska
My girl is satisfied, you can ask her
You know I've never visited Alaska
Huh, where the oil was spilt
That drunken captain should be killed
For polluting the sea, an atrocity
He still walks free, well
This one goes to all the birds that drown
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Just fuck the bullshit and get with it
It's time to throw down and so I said it words of
Wisdom that will keep you guessing cause
I'm tired of laying and I'm tired of messing around
With all those suckers
Yes, those stupid mother fuckers
Who put down what we do
We stand alone with the group that's new
If I was a dwarf, I'd surely be Dopey
I'm a stone wheat thin you can not culture
Kick in the teeth a condescending frown
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Yeah, right about now I'd like to turn the mic over to my man
SA Martinez
I am sly in the mix I am the mix master
Death and destructor, lyric conductor
Rollin with the rhythm of the rhyme I'm rollin
Tim, he leads giutar,he's got the jets
Now the b-boys rockin breakin' moves on the floor
311's stepping out and you're yellin for more
I'm hoping, I'm poetry in motion
When I fire I spray
P-Nut, the bass drum is booming
And in your mouth the rhythm is booming
P to the N to the U to the T
Just fuck the has-been's and their stupid-ass rambling
Brothers saying bullshit you can't come through with
Do it in the basement no complacence
It's time to kick the fuck in
Begin to win no sin and then
Share it, declare it in the public domain
[Refrain]
I'd be perfectly glad if rap was a fad but it's not
So I'd thought I'd come out with a shot
Super dumb lyrics make you think I'm a clown
I don't give a fuck it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
That's right, knockin' them down
Nineties, all of that
Now look out
Whatcha say
It’s time to kick the basics
Flowing and knowing it’s in your faces
Sounds good we’re trading up places
When we fuck it daily I see something that sails me
From here to infinity it nails me
To the groove til the suckas improve
On there so called grooves
That a just don’t move
A million ways to fuck it up and one to get it right
To the best of modern man that keep movin through the night
Makin funky rhymes in a permanent bliss
SA and Nicholas and we do it like this
We work it on out saw something you missed
SA and Nicholas and we do it like this
People busy mulling over the worst case scenario
I just wind it up and let it go
I don’t dis people I dis ideas
And when I say dis I mean disagree
Then we go to the studio and re-up
Some new tunes and we make some new dubs
That’s where we grow the gems the pearls
Take a trip to find there's another world
Makin funky rhymes in a permanent bliss
SA and Nicholas and we do it like this
We work it on out saw something you missed
SA and Nicholas and we do it like this
A battle against time to make use of your minds
To hook up your drum beats with my fresh rhyme
To make the best use of our strings and things
All cylinders go motherfucker we ring (repeat)
We put that shit on the map
For everyone to see it son, there it is
Now we come what you see we be it no comparative
We can make up a word when just nothin else will fit
Then we break it on down that’s it
Sunshine
Are you outside?
I am a simpleton by choice
not speaking to hear my voice
Sunshine
Why are you sleeping?
Gotta get outside
Cover the ground on foot
Not hitching around your spur
Over the river and trough the woods
I've come this far to bring in the goods
I get high, even when I don't try
Let 'em pass by with a wink to the eye
I reserve the right to be stoned
I reserve the right to take it to collect them sums I have the right
Don't try to be, there's really no point in you biting me
I'm glad to see that it's easy for me to be an MC
Let me tell you a little story
Like my dog Bobby, he hated the pool man
So I tried to play Kotter and make things cool
And I said just let him smell you, hold out your hand
He reached it on out, and then bam
He bit him, he bit him so fuckin' hard
Blood was steady gushin' all over my back yard
I kept apologizing, I felt so fuckin' bad
The dude was so cool, he didn't even get mad
He said man don't sweat it, that's the dog's meaning
Took some Neosporin and went back to his cleaning
Thought I had a dream or else it was a movie
Your mind can have a joint easy like jungle boogie
$600 freebie and I gots my job
Would you mind come but I gots my dog
Come you can foam the water with the bone
I wanna tell my mom, ring her on the phone
Cherry popsicle, icy, cold, freezing
Loves on his gums now that he is teething
Got a wee-wee pass, lay them by the door
Nasty Little shits he dropped them on the floor
Sunshine
Are you outside?
I am a simpleton by choice
Not speaking to hear my voice
Sunshine
Why are you sleeping?
Gotta get outside
I'll be here awhile, ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile, ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile, ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile
Far S.O.S. in a maddening pace
Sad state written on my face
Not a tight rope walk but dance
Uncertain game of chance
But I'll see it through in time
I'll be here awhile, ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile, ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile, ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile
And if a person place or thing can deliver
I will quiver with delight
Tempted by the hand that could
Blind my vision and sight
But at twenty years of age
In frolic and in rage
I will see it through in time
I'll be here awhile, ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile, ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile, ain't going nowhere
I'll be here awhile
But the dawn has come into the endless night
And everything's going to be alright
But at thirty years of age
Through frolic and in rage
All regressed and healed in time
I'll be here awhile, ain't going nowhere
Said I, said I, said I, I will survive
Let me take you down south
Hear it from the dover's mouth
The rhythm will make you want to move your body
I had it once and never ever forgot it
Feel the rhythm of rhapsody
Your body moves in raw ecstasy
Explosive eruption beyond compare
Take my advice don't think twice
Let me take you way down south
Step back cuz the funk is here and
The base is kickin' straight to your ear man
Because it's like that so don't talk back
And if you do then you're gonna get the back slap
Down south that's an enigma
But to you it's a stupid dumb stigma
That's right it's outta sight
Let me tell you 'bout my baby
She loves me don't mean maybe
She knows what I think and I don't have to say it
I love her so I don't have to play it
We sit and drink in the sun
I raise my glass and say she's the one
Cool breeze light squeeze life
Take my advice don't think twice
Let me take you way down south
Step back I'm about to get hectic
Chalk it up as another dialectic
Hard like a jam
Smooth like a ballad
Call it what you want but I call it sound salad
A salad grown in the garden of Eden
Seekin' out pleasures like my boys in Sweden
That's right the grooves tight like
Sit back just relax, let your mind unwind
Pull your good thing close, let tranquility surround
Psychedelic freak out taco funk frolic
Grind fiend roots 'core soul music what have you
Step back and think about the topic of this song
Strong innuendo end over end goes your brain
I won't say it's plain figure it out here's a clue
It's about winding, grinding, finding that spot
That get's her hot the joy of giving pleasure
Is beyond measure
People sing about the coming of spring
But what is comin' down around it's snow or it's rain
It's insane and i'm still in the same gang
The way the weather act's it's a shame ok
Badder behavior in our shit is flavor
Grandiose endeavors yes the quest is greater
Make no mistake i know the time and i wake
I slip only when p-nut gets me baked from that shake
Yeah you can't fuck with this
You're walter middy don't take it as a dis
But the fantasy has got to end this minute
I had a fucking dream and yo now i'm in it
I've been at many function but i know i'm about the function
If someone brings you down keep punching
We bunched in a little house where conditions got squalid
But where we at now - solid
I concur time it slurs and it blurs
The vision like a drug and yo it's the word
How absurd deliver us from nerds
And funky 40 oz glass littered curbs
Soon the church pitted bell will clang
Boys on the corner mack with slang play a dice game
When i walk by it some bag lady goes sha-na-na-na
Your street time is limited 'cuz this band rocks it
Take your whole crew put 'em all in your pocket
If your feelin' sick rub it on with vicks
'N take 2 to 6 of our sweet super mix
Your street time is limited 'cuz this band rocks it
Take your whole crew put 'em all in your pocket
If your feelin' sick we got the elixir
Rub it on down with the sweet super mixer
Late night radio players late night airwave invaders
Yeah we got the force late night radio
Zooma zooma zooma yeah we got the boom
Blowin' up the spot so so give us room
We prowl sometimes we howl hysterical
When we take the stage see a miracle
I realize today nothing is more vestigial
Than the young space walkin' individual
For years and years bubbling up with soul power
To detonate this planet or reach another
Yeah we take it up a notch
We diggin' the shit so deep like ralston digs scotch
Botch this and i'll regret it no that's not what i'm saying
Remember this instead i'm staying
We played in a little house where conditions got squalid
But where we at now - solid
We hauled a van with a rv that was a bad call
It all went up in flames but i haven't seen it all
Homey steps to me and say hey where ya goin'
Oh just headin' back to where i done my growin'
If you must go somewhere over the rainbow
The adventures of a cosmic hero
From planet to planet my tags a crater
If you're not in the future you're not here either
Labeled psychedelic we can play disco
When the going gets weird you know the weird turn pro
Your street time is limited 'cuz this band rocks it
Take your whole crew put 'em all in your pocket
If your feelin' sick rub it on with vicks
'N take 2 to 6 of our sweet super mix
Your street time is limited 'cuz this band rocks it
Take your whole crew put 'em all in your pocket
If your feelin' sick we got the elixir
Rub it on down with the sweet super mixer
Late night radio players late night airwave invaders
Yeah we got the force late night radio
Don't Let Me Down
Don't Let Me Down Again
Don't Let Me Down
Don't Let Me Down Again
Don't Let Me Down
Don't Let Me Down
Swelled up eye's oh my the girl got beat
And the stupid mother fucker who madeyou so
That punk is a coward let that be told I hear voices in the night thatare electric
He kicks the shit out of her because he's heartless
She won't leaveshe has low self esteem
He's got gravitational pull
Sucks her body till herheart and her limbs grow cold
Hang in there use your head
How can I love youafter you're dead
Hang in there keep trying
How can I love you after dying
Here's what you got to tell him I'm thinking of a picture that's keeping me institch
You're causing me a mental glitch
'Cause jealousy is such a bitch Ihereby emancipate myself from that
You can consider yourself free to flirt andchat
With whoever you want It should have always been that way
The way that youwant the way that you play
My mind is blank slate I'm pretending you're erased
You cannot let me down when I cannot see your face
Hang in there use your head
How can I love you after you're dead
Hang in there keep trying
How can I loveyou after dying
Ode to a beat up girl, I know you're out there
Stronger thanyou think, stand up if you care
Get up off the ground, don't let me down
Get upoff the ground, don't let me down
Hang in there use your head
How can I loveyou after you're dead
Hang in there keep trying
How can I love you after dying
And you, I'm a let you pass without kicking you're ass
Because I'm above it youhurt someone I love
It takes two to make a thing go right and that's trite
But one just to sneak and weasel through the night
If you hurt her again I'll fuckyou up
If you hurt her again I'll fuck you up, fuck you up
If you hurt her again I'll fuck you up
If you hurt her again I'll fuck you up, fuck you up
Whoa oh prisoner
My pretty oh oh prisoner
A black ocean is the sky above
Tiny lights bob what star you from
Trapped in material plane
She wants to fly and they think she's insane
But she knows what she know
Give that girl wings and that's all she wrote
Twilight zone twilight zone I'm
Floating in the dark alone and
Is there any love out here let me know
A laser lights the top of my dome
Then through my body
As if Scotty's
Beaming up a wayward soul
Mutant races in an ancient universe
Dark shadows humans rhymin' in a reggae verse
It's gone if you blink
I can see it as soon as you think it
Dancehalls crystal balls
On sidewalk malls
Psychic people outdoors reading palms
I believe that you know more
To survive the dimension is four
oh oh prisoner
my pretty oh oh prisoner
Look at the way she's searching
Trapped in a world that's hurting
So bad it makes her cry
But i won't let her say goddbye
I€™m in a good way, on a bad day
Thinking of a plan a way to stay on top of it
Nailin€™ in I have a fit if I sit, sit doin€™ nothin€™
Which is what I€™ve done so far
But I carve a niche which sits in my good things brain
Layin€™ the tracks to Nirvana I wanna mess it up
Chorus:
Tabla Rosa is my brain
Don€™t have to guess just what I€™m sayin€™
Don€™t mean to bug or drive you insane
If I had a point, I€™d say it plain
Oh, dammit my brain is blank
And now I say it would be a lie
If I said I was inspired by nothin€™ to say but that€™s ok
Nod your head to this
In a way I€™m gettin sick of this
????????????????????????????
I insist its a travesty so sad to see
The scene dictated frustrated former musicians
Switchin€™ the emphasis from art to money
But man I demand autonomy what else huh?
I tell you what€™s wrong with me
The industries ability to manufacture stars
They churn them out like Japan makes cars
But the blame lies not with those suits for tryin€™
It€™s the sheep that keep on buyin€™ that soulless crap
Whatever they put in front of ya
The hysteria of America
Nod your head to this
Well, stress is the enemy and not a friend to me
One thing I see is easy goin€™ throwin€™ down sit back
And watch my life flowin€™ and knowin€™ life is but a dream
You can ask my home team
Let me tell you how I seem
My economy seems to be in words not action actually ya see yes
I€™m a tempest and I rarely rest but that€™s what you go to do
If you want to be the best so I€™m on a threshold so don€™t tell me no
I just flow and know I can count on my bros
Tabla Rosa is my brain
Don€™t have to guess just what I€™m sayin€™
Don€™t mean to bug or drive you insane
If I had a point, I€™d say it plain
Oh, dammit my brain is blank and now I say it would be a lie
If I said I was inspired nothin€™ to say but that€™s ok
Nod your head to this
Don€™t you know the devil is in me
And God she is too
My Yin hits my Yang
But what the heck ya gonna do
I choose a rocky ass path but that€™s how I like it
Life€™s a bowl of punch go €˜head and spike it
I'm in a good way on a bad day.
Thinking of a plan a way to stay on top of it.
Nailin' in I have a fit if I sit, sit doin' nothin'.
Which is what. I done so far but I carve a niche
which sits in my good things brain.
Layin' the tracks like a loco mo, spark the Jay.
[Chorus:]
Tabla Rosa is my brain don't mean to bug or drive you insane.
Don't have to guess just what I'm sayin if I had a point I'd say it plain.
Dammit my brain is blank
and now I say it would be a lie if I said I was inspired
nothin' to say but that's ok..
Nod your head to this.
Messin' around, I'm not having it.
You bite the hand I put your head out.
I come to know a travesty and so sad to see.
The scene dictated frustrated former musicians.
Switching' the emphasis from art to money.
But I demand autonomy what else my friend.
I tell you what 's wrong to me the industry's ability to manufacture stars.
They churn them out like Iwojema makes cars.
But the blame lies not with those suits for trying.
It's the sheep that keep on buying that soulless crap.
Whatever they put in front of ya.
The hysteria of America.
Nod your head to this.
Well, stress is the enemy and not a friend to me.
One thing I see is to be easy goin' throwin' down sit back.
And watch my life flowin' and knowing life is but a dream.
You can ask my home team.
Let me tell you how I seem.
My economy seems to be in words not action actually ya see yes.
I'm a tempest and I rarely rest but that's what you go to do.
If you want to be the best so I'm on a threshold so don't tell me no.
I just flow and know I can count on my bros.
[Chorus]
Don't you know that the devil he's in me and God she is too.
My Yin hates my Yang, but what the fuck ya gonna do.
I choose a rocky ass path but that's how I like it.
Life's a bowl of punch go ahead and spike it.
Its good to be alive in the peaceful revolution
An honor to observe the beautiful solution
I tip my hat to we the people in order to form a more perfect world
This shall come to pass
The beginning of the end
Of the ignorance that once could sin
The tyrant to power
His day is done
In the worldwide revolution
Yeah, the peaceful revolution
All around this small world
Now the people demand to listen
These truths self-evident
Philosophical evolution
As the old die out
The young see a better way
Human rights guaranteed to all
Without regard to race, I say
The beginning of the end
Now the people vote, we will not sin
The tyrant to power
His day is done
In the worldwide revolution
In the peaceful revolution
I see the last frontier and the peaceful revolution
World peace is merely a product of social evolution
The conquest lies in accepting different peoples
And thinking right here at home
In the suns kingdom
The beginning of the end
And of the tolerance that once could sin
The tyrant to power
His day is done
In the worldwide revolution
In the peaceful revolution
Its the peaceful revolution
Its the peaceful revolution
Everything you do it comes back to you. Whatever it may be.
If it isn't one thing rest assured that something.
Will come back and pay you for your deed
A shortcut's a self defeating means, if you cannot do it clean.
You'll never reach your reward.
And when the day is done, what you receive is the sum.
Of what you took out, from what you put in.
Times deep in a dream seem a veiled realm.
Shadows what I think and feel is real.
Times in our tribe feel the tribe when we thrive.
We have no fear of death and no fear of life.
Chorus :
I can't forget you and our version of paradise.
I can't forget you and our version of paradise.
Everything you do it comes back to you, whatever it may be.
What you did as a devil or did as an angel.
The favor returns itself somehow.
If you take my money I抣l buy you a drink and you'll see.
That no one rides for free.
Afraid of what I said then your mind is stricken.
I'm wearing my heart sleeveless and I'm always up for kickin?
This is my favorite city pity everywhere the enemy.
From the beginning serious history
nothing's ever given to no one. Rides for free.
From the beginning radiant energy's
music what I need to keep my sanity.
I say we fear no evolution stand up musical revolution.
Follow me now when I say we can never stop in we never give.
Cuz this is how we breathe and live.
Some of them whine and some of them bitch.
They cannot do it we never switch.
We do it for ourselves and we do it for you.
If you don't like it well I hope you do.
I've got to be honest.
Chorus. Chorus.
Houston we have a problem
all this TV has made us dumb
anxious is what we've become
too much prozac in our systems
it's our mental condition
it's our mental condition
one thing lacks is education
institutions fuck with our
Emotions are elastic
they stretch out and back
stretch out and back
sometimes they just snap
they don't go back
they never go back
What if it were true
that you weren't so blue
and you felt like you
could just do anything
but we're facing the sunset
and for a moment it
looks like it's rising
and we are on the other side of things
There's no procrastination maybe I should do it get to it straight
I see people wasting time with so much pointless debate
I can't wait for the over analytical politically correct
Upset by threats to the national mindset
I bet we'd let reverse psychology mob mentality over our ecology
A college we could learn but we usually we burn and then we waste it
Taste it time and time again it's time to take your medicine
Emotions are elastic
they stretch out and back
stretch out and back
sometimes they just snap
they don't go back
they never go back
What if it were true
that you weren't so blue
and you felt like you
could just do anything
but we're facing the sunset
and for a moment it
looks like it's rising
and we are on the other side of things
[bridge]
What if it were true
that you weren't so blue
and you felt like you
could just do anything
but we're facing the sunset
and for a moment it
looks like it's rising
and we are on the other side of things
side of things
In a minute everything you have can all be straight gone
In a minute things you though were tied can come straight undone
How about some knocks on wood some
so far it's so good any day
What you think is solid earth can jump up and spread out
To the north and south that's what plates are about
Nature has no conscience no kindness or ill will
The dreams they had make me sad because of the vides of them
When one girl dreamt a fire in hers and then it happened
To me and my family my bro's and I were driving
The RV bleeding flames us leaping through fire surviving
Zoned with no home there was fire all on it
Umm let me have my life I want it
I'm gonna let you know that I said
We're coming in kill we're coming chill
We've comin in how we will
Gone to tell the whole world what's the deal
And I say know no critical boarder cuz
We do what we want
Got more funky styles that my laser jet got font
Not one to get over sounding like the norm
Friendly to the radio all that shit is corn
All we coming with is a little bit of swing
And we go on like it ain't no thing
Omaha stylee did not think there was one
Where you know the radios weak and the shows are more fun
But you know we fuck up the dance since 1988
Many did not think when they hear that we come from this state
Still we're down like that x3
Makin the funk that smells of skunk
Such occasions occur back in the day
It begins you're a raw kid all the way
Son of a gun but they you drifted
All are endowed but few are gifted
At the break of dawn behaving like a spy
Lampin in the light the cold world awakens
Deeper is the light to open up the sky
Look into my eyes see the dialatin'
Omaha Stylee is the shit we come with man
Embedded in out souls it breathes out from this band We always knew
that we could
Thank you if you too felt we would
We will arise explore these worlds and find the grass roots
How to crew to do the grinding of the grounds to brew
My dude on the one come off like Teflon
Rock your shit and you will rise on
If you're a farmer outstanding in your field say
Do as you eill do as you wish follow your bliss say
We travel round the world giving it our best
Like to see the people dancing and bouncing and the rest
The hammer and the chisel and the rule it compass
We forged the sword chariots of war our battle axe
There's much power in anger but loves a bigger banger
Complete props to my crew this is what we do
Many different people can apply to drop the funk
It's not a country club review board steady talkin junk
Many people would have it others go put and grab it
Some trip over roots and say fuck it I'm sunk
I put it in a limerick and kick the slick nick verbs
I am the one who scores the herb
When we're on the road P-Nut rolls it up
Throw me a joint on stage what's up
I will tell a cop that I know my fucking rights
And we can match wits all night for real
He said if I had nothing to hide
Then of course I wouldn't mind if he looked through our ride
No, uh I'd really rather you didn't
And no we don't have guns hidden
We stood there for a while continue to decline
Firm, I didn't lose my mind
I didn't let him break me he's just another human
Not a bit of shame in what we were doin' that day
He couldn't make us stay
We had our shit together
It don't matter whether
We sport the dread locks or the shaved head
Or if we have a sticker from the dead
I said a better verse rehearsed about the roughneck curse
Last week I keep an even keel and bow in place
And face the music every minute
Never could see my homey comin' till he passed
Funky gas by my way all the day I couldn't laugh
Oh by now I'm chill with it
Bare ass in my face I'm ok but Chad's like "Uh-uh no he isn't"
So I proceed to hear him get loose with the
Fartin' all over my face sometimes my tummy
He fucked with my flow although I thought it funny
I probably wouldn't care if I smoked more kind bud
But that wouldn't do me shit cuz then he'd fuck me more up
Crazy ill and chillin' rude but I'ze a real cool dude
He didn't believe the day would come when he would get his top
But then one day right in front of his face I got him
He looked over said "God damn get me some water"
The one time I hadn't wasted till I got mine
Smeared his nose with my armpit funk slime
So you get it the picture just how sick we were then
But before I jet "Hey yo Chad sniff my finger man"
Ahh, that's right baby
I can see a lot of people who feel like I do
I can see a lot of people who feel like I don't
I go on step lightly even when I'm heavy
High jump the slump open up for the Revy Horton Heat
Sweet what am I displayin' forgot what I was saying
I know I must be laying a pipe you got a gripe
With the way I get high
Graffix bong sing along with a cry of a
Mandatory sentence for a crime with no victim
When everyone knows jail terms should be picked in
Order of the pain that they cause
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law
Until you violate the rights of another
Respect the space of your sister and your brother
The war on drugs may be well intentioned
But it falls fucking flat when you stop and mention
An overcrowded prison where a rapist gets paroled
To make room for a dude who has sold
A pound of weed to me that's a crime
Here's to good people doin time y'all
Bare Ass Yeah x4
The cold funk has you sunk feel the mids pump
Blessed are those who erupt when we turm up
Right now we corrupt
Cons the shades we don in the neon night
We're gonna feed on the mics and blast through a pipe
I gotta feed on the mics and blast through a pipe
I gotta cool capability to toast and ill
Yo my daddy told me, "Hey son you must act chill"
Alien rough
My galaxy is tough
Here comes the bang of a hip-hop thang that we bring and swing
Men from Mars aint ever gonna hang
With dope Buddha's come to the stage we are attackin
Space assassin naked live and never slackin
Come a day on the way enter on S.A.
Amplified form another world far away
I got the pang of a gang and I come from the Southside
Here's the thang that I bring and I promise to come live
While the masses passes upon there fucking asses
And if you don't see get glasses
That is a shot out to the words of Curt Grubb
The motherfucker is not scrub I said the man is the kind
With the one that I call Brine Shrimp
We nover ever do skimp I limp on a stage in a huff
Like magic dragon I puff on the stuff of a Humbolt cone
Then I'm stonded watch out
Smoke the weed that come from Northern California
Don't do no cocaine that come from Columbia
That the thing that mash up your nature
Mash up your body and mash up your culture
Take a tip from the the flipped script of Daddy Freddy
I give complete props to the one that rocks steady
With dexterity and goes on and on and on
And turn out the dope shit like the one that's called
Pawn Shop Press yes it's on what's up
P-Nut change it up
One time from your mind watch out
do you want me to cry?
cry for you
how can you say
that you're blue
a rich rock star you are
yet you still complain
that's insane
imagine if you
had a child of two
you're a single mom
with a son named two
you work a long hard day
just to bill pay
with no time to play
then what would you say
still in this world what it means to me
losin' my grip as i trip on anomalies
my third eye is the prize of unflyin' horus
the pleadies will smash out of taurus
energy pure decompose in the porous
soil of life moving on it's courses
crystals 'neaththe surface radiate the cycle
combing minerals they will flex and let go
toxically were built to never last
cuz the waste we make all day
steady growin' fast
I get up intake my blue-green algae
let it penetrate
strengthen my grasp
holistic healers dealin' our galactic growth
reversin' fx of shit wrecked Chernobyl
Wanna take it further
Let's take that funk further
Wanna take it further
Let's take that love further
We've all got pain that's real
And we should say how we feel
And i've felt so alone
But i know i've always got a home
The question i'm upserving
Gamma waves bacterial plagues
cow mutilations all the time
not to mention visitations
more than 2000 years
of fuckin' with our fears
the only thing true
we gotta love each other
try to keep a positive vibe
they make it tough for ya
you're cut off and lonely
while you hustle for dough
we can overcome the wrongs
while we're reachin' the point
stick together all forever
now continue to flow
Watching the ice melt between us
Just faster than grass grows
Itís not the best that weíve seen us
But nothing else I'd have chose
Reminds me of a time
When anything could have come
Anything could have happened
What a fantastic feeling
Time is precious as you say it is
I wanna know that we didn't miss
It goes by quickly youíll soon find out
I wonít go down
Time is precious as you say it is
I wanna know that we didnít miss
It goes by quickly youíll soon find out
When you fight to resist
Emotion with a fist
An irresistible force will always
Prevail
The fortress goes crumbling down
Around you where you stand
What was once strong mortar
Is now a pile of sand
Time is just as precious as you say it is
I wanna spend it and know that we didn't miss
I've dodged so many bullets that Iím careful now
I wonít go down
Time is just as precious as you say it is
I wanna spend it and know that we didn't miss
I've dodged so many bullets that I'm careful now
From reckless to recluse
And sometimes back again
Left wondering what's the use
Of a life of mischief spent
Makes cool the desert sun
The piece of mind that you gave me
Absolve me for things I've done
Only that can save me
Time is just as precious as you say it is
I wanna spend it and know that we didn't miss
I've dodged so many bullets that I'm careful now
I wonít go down
Time is just as precious as you say it is
I wanna spend it and know that we didnít miss
Iíve dodged so many bullets that Iím careful now
Early in the mornin' rising to the street
light me up that cigarette and I'll strap shoes on my feet
got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong
got to find a reason why my money's all gone
I got a dalmation, I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a rubber duckin' riot
'cuz, life is too short so love the one you got
'cuz you might get run over or ya might get shot
never start static I gots get it off my chest
never had to battle with my bullet proof vest
take a small example, take a ti-ti-tip from me
take all of your money and give it to charity
love is what I got it's with in my reach
and this Sublime style still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you your gonna get what you deserve
try and test that, you're bound to get served
love's what I got don't start a riot
and you feel it when the dance gets hot..hot
lovin' is what I got I said remember that (4x)
I don't cry when my dog runs away
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot
hits the bottle and goes back to the rock
drinkin' and fightin' it all the same
livin' with Louie dogs' the only way to stay sane
let the lovin' let the lovin' come back to me
-freestyle-
-chorus-
So just get off of your ass.
Lovin' is what I got I said remember that (8x)
-split-
Lovin' is what I got I said remember that (5x with fadeout)
life is too short so love the one you got
'cuz you might get run over or ya might get shot
never start static I just get it off my chest
never had to battle with my bullet tip whooo
a small example take a ti-ti-tip from me
take up all of your money and give it to charity-ty-ty-ty
love is what I got it's with in my reach
and the Sublime style still straight from Long Beach
no, It all comes back to you your gonna get what you deserve
try and test that, your bound to get served
love's what I got don't start a riot
and you feel it when the dance.. get..uh.. thats good enough.
I know what you’re thinking
I know I did you wrong
But I just got this feeling
Baby please hold on
The way we used to dance
When we forgot the steps
And we lost our balance
Now I drink to forget
Whiskey and wine
Killing me
One shot at a time
You put the liquor in the cup and then you swirl it around
Cause, you don't remember if you’re up or you’re down
A temporary fixer, moment elixir, yeah
And I will say
I put my hand up in the air and I won't do it again
No, cant promise it because I don’t pretend to know
What the price I pay
Not a remedy for a thing and i will do it again
Whiskey and wine
Killing me
One shot at a time
Midnight to six man
for the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and Leroy Smart
Delroy Wilson, your cool operator
Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae
With backing bands sound systems
if they've got anything to say
there's many black ears here to listen
But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right
charging from the bass knives to the treble
but onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel
onstage they ain't got no... roots rock rebel
Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack
jones'in won't get you anywhere
fooling with your guns
the British Army is waiting out there
an' it weighs fifteen hundred tons
White youth, black youth
better find another solution
why not phone up Robin Hood
and ask him for some wealth distribution
Punk rockers in LA
they won't notice anyway
they're all too busy fighting
for a good place under the lighting
The new groups are not concerned
with what there is to be learned
they got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny
turning rebellion into money
All over people changing their votes
along with their overcoats
if Adolf Hitler flew in today
they'd send a limousine anyway
And the all night drug-prowling wolf
who looks so sick in the sun
and the white man in the Palais
But you go lookin' for fun
I'm only looking for fun
oh please mister, leave me alone
and I'm only looking for fun
looking for fun
(breathing)
