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 And CHORUS |

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 |

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 itme 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'ma 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 remorese 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 promist 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 Damn you know I feel good true I got a choice of what I'm gonna do It's like this that Swingin on my bat 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 Nippin' on a cat 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 downed 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' |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

Don't fear mere words cuz if it takes a word ruin ya
You should have already hard you're finished through and soon ya See that stifling sentences is so much more suspicious Much worse could come of that so much more delicious To the dastardly basturdly plans of little mice and men Ugly rears its head and speaks from now and then People love to disagree so avoid the endless bout make no attempt To try and suss the stupid out But of the racist institutions simple minds belong Not happy just being human, no wish to get along Little people need exclusions sucker groups to throng It makes them feel special it makes them feel strong Now I got a click but it's more like a family Not an ethnic trip more like an ethic see I write the rhyme today tell it to you later Whether were coming in wack or what it's a waste to be a hater Graffiti bombs-from the palms-love is so strong Can't be stopped too long For the night it will come Shaped in the form of Mars that stone afar Ghetto cool Oh well Now you feel the spell The color rocks the bell The king of swing rise to the top The thythm possessed in ya and it don't stop The mise is broken The demon locin' Dropping the bomb and all that is left is the smokin' Cloakin' chokin; the lyrics are spoken Infrared vision scopin' condition Now breakin' 'em all to pieces like a sly rap bandit Witha fly Lu-Kang kick in Mortal Combat and I land it So get your own back when I jam it cold and Hearing about you rhyme style been outmoded The dopest flow upon the planet Dope is the word the bro throw up on the down low goddammit You juice your fucking friends like Dracula But when we kick you out you're just brokula You left a big surprise from Pacific Bell Called all your relatives and your friends in Hell Now let me tell you something you fucking piece of shit You'll never have no money, now tell me was it worth it? You leave a trail of lies that's why you keep moving We won't come after you we'd only end up provin In the end revenge send ends to the defendant I know that statement's true I wear it like a pendant I know you'll hear this song so I think it's funny The name is theif or trust and money. Like Captain Picard we come hard in light years Our star has long bust but now reappears In your sky at night rising and immense Yes you see ourselves in the shine of it And so passing under the dome of the great sky Beware we are the stars holmes that you ruled by Where death reborn into the world is a gift So the future with no voice of its own will uplift All is gone All is calm y'all Set wrecked in L.A. In the Wetlands of New York Atlanta and Phoenix Portland, Lincoln and N.O. |

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 for 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 |

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 gonna wanna try this but it takes niceness 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 int eh 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 I'll slap that witch as if I were her pimp And my crew will attest to her fradulence |

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 congs 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 |

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 Like a drive through Estes park you savor the sun But when the clouds come make animals |

Any 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 toots 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 Uh, no I'd really rather you didn't And no we don't have guns hidden We stood there for a while continue to decline Firmly, 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 a 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" 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 fot eh 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 The overcrowded prisons where a rapists 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 |

Groove as your soul sings. Spinnin' all around as we dust a melody
Groove as your soul sings. Spinnin' all around (echoing) 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 |

Let the games begin if you wanna fuck with me
You can't disturb the course of P & C & T & D & me I'm on a mission To set straight The vice, the curse, the date, the gate relate to this. I insist B it's weak to dis see I'm runna up so suckers stick to your 40 How could I give a damn, give a damn if you approve what it's about. I just freak out Just guess ya'll c'mon come back slipped outta whack as the master. Laid out the music Death I just say fuck you, the void unknown we're thrown through while lost in life's psychedelic trip we take There's another more bizarre we have to make world we have nowhere beyond Take out the earth the bass is gone At life's end we'll feel the calm How strange we should be here at all Chorus: If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin' To all my friends, it's not the end the earth has not swallowed me yet Into whose womb were you woven what kin of your skin dropped you then 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 me we Are rumbling through this cursed universe where death is birth Think not but what your manifest is worth Giving up a verse the curse occurs a thirst To burst first breaking through 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 Chorus This is the heat to flush your face |

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. |

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'll 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. |

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 lead 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. |

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. |

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. |

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 itBegin 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 |

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. |

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 |

Passin' the kind buds.
Kickin' back in the sand in the sun. To be alive is lovin'. Where the shore meets the seam. 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

Let the games begin if you wanna fuck with me
You can't disturb the course of P & C & T & D & me I'm on a mission To set straight The vice, the curse, the date, the gate relate to this. I insist B it's weak to dis see I'm runna up so suckers stick to your 40 How could I give a damn, give a damn if you approve what it's about. I just freak out Just guess ya'll c'mon come back slipped outta whack as the master. Laid out the music Death I just say fuck you, the void unknown we're thrown through while lost in life's psychedelic trip we take There's another more bizarre we have to make world we have nowhere beyond Take out the earth the bass is gone At life's end we'll feel the calm How strange we should be here at all Chorus: If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin' To all my friends, it's not the end the earth has not swallowed me yet Into whose womb were you woven what kin of your skin dropped you then 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 me we Are rumbling through this cursed universe where death is birth Think not but what your manifest is worth Giving up a verse the curse occurs a thirst To burst first breaking through 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 Chorus This is the heat to flush your face |

Awww s--t, what
You know the freaks can't handle it We keep on searching from the seaside to the mountainside come on Hardly out styled 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 keep my s--t tight Let me tell you how I feel, all right Y'alls radio rock ain't tuff Can't move to that ain't deep enough One more time groove on the line Chills up my spine, ready rewind Chorus: 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 Let me tell you how we comin we comin full ride Full ride, full ride we work it on the inside As you'd expect we come correct While others just run and hide Full ride, full ride we work it on the inside As you'd expect we come correct I get the f--k 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 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 serious things to all the people who gather Here's what we bring (Chorus) Full ride, full ride we work it on the inside As you'd expect we come correct While others just run and hide Full ride, full ride we work it on the inside As you'd expect we come correct |

Chorus:
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 were the model for the band 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 than just the radio Now it's 2-1 and we are back in control The jammies are coming, people succumbing cuz we got the soul Bridge: Everyone tends 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 (Chorus) 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 matter how punk you act No matter what you do I don't react I'm a perfect example of not giving a f--k About the catty rude people that just suck What do you know all of the sudden, uh 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 (Bridge) (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 Chorus: 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 wouldn't let you back in But here I am dialing, trying I told myself to get a hold of 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 ahold of 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 holds me to you I told myself to get a hold of 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 (Chorus) And now it's all turned bad (bad), turned bad (bad), turned bad (bad) Your ploy to make me jealous is obvious and sad (sad) It has the opposite effect (sad) Now you're left with what you had (had), you had (had) The rain comes down as love turns to dust I was joking she took me serious The rain comes 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 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, they 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 Chorus: Hostile Apostle who you following Negative energy that you're swallowing Some coked out mal-content, 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's intact from all the people dissin Open your eyes look at who you're kissin If you can't hear it, people just listen (Chorus) Angry human leads impressionable boy To skulls and piercings will to destroy All of your heroes speak nothing to me You don't have to be a prick just to be heavy Changin all the time we changin all the same Change in this life and this eternal frame 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 and no small Build and bound connect and equal all |

Chorus:
Wake your mind up clear your eyes up Move and rise up before your times up Clock is ticking, you're 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 Some ghost town as yesterday Made you feel like love was miles away (Chorus) 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 Gimme starlit skies fro 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 soul that's filled with hatred In it is poison the youth is tainted Social engineering keeps us seperated Media control is highly overrated Ignorance is bliss to those uneducated Listen to the message cuz it's time we faced it (Chorus) 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 ever take away 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 the 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 truth Try to make me 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 Don't stop what you got Don't stop til you find the sweet spot (Chorus) |

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 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 you |

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 |

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 |

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 closed Either I'm asleep Or what I'm thinking is deep Eventually I sigh and kick the sheets 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 (Cuh, cuh, come on) We're wakin' it up face up and shakin' it up We know of an extended field This is the deal we're 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 That 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 Cuz the space you're in Is no place like home |

You got a wishing well within
That's ready to begin See how we roll See how we roll I'm trying to compromise Because with me there are no lies See how we run It's already begun Now that I'm back to a pushing pen That weighs two hundred tons I'd like to drop it on you And watch it all fall through 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 searching 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 (Chorus x2) Not an even field to be on Feels like standing 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 |

Are you missing us
Maybe wanting to be kissing us If you must When please don't be dismissing us When we'regone ballin' on the bus Are we immersed in a sea of replicants Hard exteriors and fake gold fronts Losing yourself in the flavor of the mouth Gotta be a better reason to colonize a star Gotta be a better reason man's come so far Is that you in the mama-ocean-people-sea Is that you in this dream I see waving me Closer with one hand While the other shields your eyes as if surprised To see the universe begin Being up on the mindspin Are you still glad that it has been Six years and a seven months This is what you want don't front I'm feelin' it right now In this, the goldhour Part clock and part man Reconcilling my lifespan Keeping things whole We move out of the space where air flows When all of a sudden here we are and here we go The evolutionary mind turns twists backflips In space-time The continuum Real life planetarium It's a natural fact Time is speeding up There isn't much left Heart rate increasing Bustin' through your chest Compressed Is your life in the physical But out of memory comes a vision Which is a miracle Yeah that Normally we just can't see It's not natural or typical Of our same old thing Livin' to fast Unable to grasp the past Or the future When at last we ripple After our big splash Being up on the mindspin Are you still glad that it has been Six years and a seven months This is what you want don't front I'm feelin' it right now In this, the goldhour Part clock and part man Reconcilling my lifespan You remain and refrain From the pain of wasted time The last thing on my mind is Running high fuel supply Reason why We just don't quit Can you get with A melding of two minds What's the worst thing You could find Paper trail That prevails In dernystification People want to believe In mysteries People want to believe In mysteries Is the truth so bad? x4 |

Fire is my method for destruction
Leaving chard 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 built up in your brain In times of change or the same old thangs As you maintain or rearrange (Chorus) Can't nobody do it like 311 Fuckin' up competition cuz 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 (Chorus) |

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 -acap |

How many times will they do the same thing?
How did they get programmed to, your following? Everyone's locked up in their suffering The only way you can tell is reconsider everything What if the truth is that there is no truth The only thing I can prove is there is no proof Don't be so sure that your source is correct People believed it before, before they had checked How many times can they tell you Til you just give them their way How many times can sell you Til you let them have their say Every time you will ignore your Heart it will come back twice more Never deny your own instinct Reconsider Everything Everybody want something they control Some just want grass some they want gold Either way does it feel good or feel low Taking you down not fast but real slow Rebellion done for it's own sake Does not a true free thinker make To go against for it's own sake You're still controlled by the course that the other man takes Reconsider everything, reconsider everything Reconsider everything, reconsider everything Reconsider everything, reconsider everything Reconsider everything |
