DAMMIT

"Damn!"

[Nick's intro]

Yo, word up, I'm talkin' to you
Makin' dope rhymes, that's 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, it's pissin' me off
Rock me baby? What?
You don't mean that crap
What the hell, if it sells
Damn, you're a sham,
No thank you, ma'am, bitch

Oh, I get burned badly
I could just sit and sing the blues
But instead I'll 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
Hey 


"This Too Shall Pass"

I don't jones for nothing
'Cause that's a waste
Waste of space in my frontal lobe and
I just sit, deal with it, don't have a fit
Do you know what I'm saying?

I just get as down as I can
Don't 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 here's 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
We're just a speck of dirt on this golf ball called Earth
So get stupid insane

And then I feel stupid for saying it in
the first place
Cause this ain't no pussies anonymous, right Chad?
That's right
Chad says no
So... fuck it up

And didn't then I say
I looked the other way
I changed my point of view
And here's what I do

This song has passed
So put that in your pipe and smoke it 



"Peaceful Revolution"

It's 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 sun's 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

It's the peaceful revolution
It's the peaceful revolution 



"!#$ The %&*! (Fuck The Bullshit)"

You know I'm ready, and I rock steady
My name's 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, 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, so I said it
Words of wisdom, that'll keep ya'll guessing
Cause I'm tired of playing and I'm tired of messin' around
With all ya'll suckers, and stupid mother fuckers
Who put down what I do
I stand alone with a groove that's new
Now that you know that the rhymes that I say
Are mine alone and I sure you don't play
I kick in your teeth, the 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

Right about now I''d 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 I'm a big stick and you're a cream puff
And you hate it, and get frustrated
No tellin' just how long you waited
I tell you what
I'm a white boy, so I don't 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 it's not, so I thought that I'd give it a shot
Stupid dumb lyrics make you think I'm a clown
I don't give a damn, 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 



"Down South"

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 groove's 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 



"Summer Of Love"

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
That's what I'm sayin

Callin' out young and old
We got a thing that can't be sold, yeah
The time it takes to rise above
In the summer of love

It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say, yeah

I wake up each day to the sun
And it's hard to chose what to do for fun (and man that's 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, yeah
That's what I'm sayin'

Callin' out young and old
We got a thing that can't be sold, yeah
The time it takes to rise above
In the summer of love

It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say, yeah

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, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say, yeah 



"Push It Away"

I used to have this idea
That getting a silver medal wouldn't set me free
Oh but you know that I really don't need
To catch no fame or credit
Nor a big fat bank account with no debit
So just set me straight,
'Cause even your peace of mind just can't wait

I sent a telegram marked urgent, urgent
I hope it gets to my door, my big big door
I'm going free if they kill me
'Cause this ain't much better anyway

Just push it away, oh push it away, yeah
Just push it away, just push it away, push it away, yeah
Push it away

Oh success, that elusive brainchild of greed
Something you want, not need
Face it, 'cause
Money can't buy true friendship or trust
And applause will never be any substitute for love
But not me man, check it out

I sent a telegram marked urgent, urgent
I hope it gets to my door, my big big door
I'm going free if they kill me
'Cause this ain't much better anyway

Just push it away, oh push it away, yeah
Just, just push it away, just push it away, push it away, yeah
Push it away 



"Slinky"

I was at this club minding my tea
I saw this fine 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
You guess the rest, I'm not the type to fess
I sing this song because I tell you she's the best

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 whack 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

So I'll just pretend
But I feel like

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

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
Uh-oh
So I'll just pretend
But I feel like

All right, break it down



"Independence Day"

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 sight

It was Independence Day
I've seen the other side and I say
Oh, I've 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
I've seen the other side and I say
Oh, I've been insane
And I won't never been same

(??) Jesus, (??)
Remind me not to pray to you

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
Cerebrial 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



"To Be Honest"

To be honest
For the boy is hard
He doesn't 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
You're my one and only, huh

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
You're my one and only, huh

Boy, the boy, boy, the boy

And it sounds like this

On my mind, all the time
You know you're my one and only


  
"Thriving To The Scene"

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 I'm acting pissed
I couldn't 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



UNITY

"Slinky"

I was at this club minding my tea
I saw this fine 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
You guess the rest I'm not the type to fess
I sing this song because I tell you she's the best

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus] 



"Feels So Good"

Well everybody got opinion that's loud and unbending
I spend my time healing and mending together
It's a question of whether live positive, well I give
P-Nut is a brother that's always got a girlfriend
I say the lyrics that'll put you in a whirlwind
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 rythmatic genius churnin' out the next one
But you know young bro I flow in this circumstance
You'll get your chance

Just take a moment to have a fit once in a while
Ya Know
I do it daily and like it but that's my style, here I go
In your face
Feels so good
In your face
Feels so good

Go SA
Trip this, yeah, get up on the tipness
Don't sweat it or let 'em set once you grab it
Come and get some to have and to flaunt
I know about it, know I got the news if you want
I pocket, I lock it, I sock it, your mind I rock it
Shell-fucking-shocked as well, maybe I groove and dammit I know it
Fucking up the truth, that's how I show it
In the half light, SA sounds, Nick's a night light
I'm rappin', he's snappin' on
Something you might like now
Don't frown if I choose to
Cut it up brothers you can't take it with you

Just take a moment to have a fit once in a while
Ya know, ya know
I do it daily and like it but that's my style, here I go
In your face
Feels so good
In your face
Feels so good

Go P-Nut, beat that thing

Eh, get this, my stream of consciousness is a sea
Much like Bukowski with a rage
Speaking to the page, beasts in the cage
Jumping off the stage, diving
Thriving, striving, for a better day SA

Beat back by flesh shattered doors
Bragging fists to the sky, you're feelin' high
Yes to live and die

Just take a moment to have a fit once in a while
Ya know, ya know, ya know
I do it daily and like it but that's my style, here I go
In your face
Feels so good
In your face
Feels so good 

  
"Do You Right"

I don't insist, I am no fabulist
You can take it, take it, don't leave it yeah
Just let 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 I'd give my left arm
But I'm sure that you've heard this before

And when we spend the night, I check if you're alright
How it was, I don't 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 I'd give my left arm
But I'm sure that you've heard this before

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

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'll be there 'til I'm dead

I stare at the curl of your hair
At the strength of your charm
I feel like I'd give my left arm
But I'm sure that you've heard this before

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

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, do you, do you, do you, do you

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 


"Fuck The Bullshit"

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
Uh, 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
That fucks with me, 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

Yo fuck the bullshit and get with it
It's time to throw down and so I said it
Words of wisdom that will keep y'all guessing 'cause
I'm tired of playing and I'm tired of messing around
With all y'all suckers
Yes, stupid mother fuckers
Who put down what I do
I stand alone with the group that's new
Like now that you know that the rhymes that I say
Are mine alone and I sure you don't play
I kick in the teeth, the 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 over the rap to my mentor
SA Martinez

I'm sly, Nickolai, he know why
Get this kid high, I'm gonna fly
Fly out of this one and into the next
With authority of all the words to connect
Go on hold it, I'm poetry in motion
No jokin' you pray, my line is spoken
The latest, the bravest of hip-hop persuaders
A line or rhyme that always amazes brothers
The mic drum is loomin'
And in your mind, my rap-rhyme is bloomin' like a flower
Fuck the Bullshit, P-Nut, talk shit with your...

Just fuck the has-beens and their stupid-ass rappin'
Promising 'em bullshit they can't come through with
Do it in the basement, no complacent
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 sad if rap was a fad but it's not
So I'd thought that I'd give it a shot
Stupid 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 


"Summer Of Love"

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
That's what I'm sayin'

Callin' out young and old
We got a thing that can't be sold, yeah
The time that takes to rise above
In the summer of love

It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say yeah

I wake up each day to the sun
And it's hard to chose what to do for fun (and man that's a drag)
A blissful world surrounds me
And my brothers and sisters love is always free
Oh, don't you know that I've waited my whole life just to show
What's inside and let my love flow, yeah
That's what I'm sayin'

Callin' out young and old
We got a thing that can't be sold, yeah
The time that takes to rise above
In the summer of love

It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say

The colors blend down the prism divide, (boom)
We get chance turn the prism inside
Said the colors blend down the prism divide, (come along)
We get chance turn the prism inside
We can't say we came from the sun
We can't see, we came from the sun
This is the summer of unity, uh-oh
I riggity dance so gimme a chance
To take off my pants and play
I take up the time to make up a rhyme
And give me the sign to say
Happy and tasteful with crystals in sight
I choose that race we kick down, right
The colors blend down the prism divide, (boom)
We get chance turn the prism inside
Said the colors blend down the prism divide, (come along)
We get chance turn the prism inside
Oh, I say by the power vested in me
It is the summer of love, oh

It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say yeah

I said it's the summer of love
My head is clear
And my thoughts are true 


 "Unity"

Even if I cared to try, I, 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 that
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, that's right

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 in 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' hometeam
I ain't got to my ace in the hole 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, come on

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
Steppin' and goin' and lyin' and cryin'
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, that's right



"Damn!"

[Nick's intro]

Yo, word up, I'm talkin' to you
Makin' dope rhymes, that's 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, it's pissin' me off
Rock me baby? What?
You don't mean that crap
What the hell, if it sells
Damn, you're a sham,
No thank you, ma'am, bitch

Oh, I get burned badly
I could just sit and sing the blues
But instead I'll 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
Hey



"Down South"

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



"Rollin"

Rollin', windows down, kickback trollin'
I' holdin' and foldin', see no cold in the streets
Dirty looks - huh - we think it's funny
The workin' class squares scrounge up all the money
But we're coolin' in the middle of June
I'm gettin' girls, gettin' lit and I'm making up tunes
Believe that boy I'll bet I'll bet I'm trollin'
Just lookin' for some trouble and we 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 gory
It happened one night when tequila was full
We were walkin' to my car unaware unknowin'
I stepped up crossed the street in no hurry
And what happens next - it gets a little blurry
This chump nearly hits me in a green pinto
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 tagged him first
So I cracked him in the face all of the sudden with a burst
I hit him 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 bet I regret that moment of scrappin'
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 trollin'
Can't say it wasn't fun in those days of rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' 



"Right Now"

(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) And you look around too
(And we) Time passes easily

I've opened up my mind
So you can step inside
You could expect to find
A scenic ride

Pointyhead pizzeria perfect penetration
Mezcal cuts off my brain communication
Belligerence, lost my intellegence
Talk a 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 of 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, right now, 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 alright) Now we're in a different state

I've opened up my mind
So you can step inside
You can expect to find
A scenic ride

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 catch 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, right now, right now
I am, I am supposed to be, I am, damn 

  
"C.U.T.M."

I got the funk on two
I got the funk on two
Pick it up

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', go

[Chorus]
Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, my baby
Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, my baby

I feel good
Yo bad self

Well though I am the Hexum, call me Nick
And I live by the code of cosmic
I've come to say, we're here to stay
Utopian way we'll play today, yeah
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 peakin'
When I'm on stage, you're havin' a fit
But without my brothers, baby, I ain't shit, let's go

[Chorus]

Make it, make it like this
Gimme one 




HYDROPONIC

"Welcome"

Welcome to this groove, you can move right
We gonna take you higher (higher)
Not caught in the quagmire ('mire)
I can't survive on a stupid nine to five
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 money, uh huh, we think it's 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 (freedom)
The people around me, I need 'em (I need 'em)
I'd like to buy the world a Coke, 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 homes 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 and comin' on again
Unwind your blind mind, find entire minutes
Abstract the tract of sight, day breaking in it
Doles out my share of the world, ocean and sun
Rising with a whirling motion (yeah)

I fought, kicked and screamed my way to getting born
Now I feel worn 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 'til the next homecoming
I like the boogie to the bang bang boogie
Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang, come on

  
"Plain"

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
With sits in my good things brain layin' the tracks
Like a loco mo spark the Jay

Tabla Rosa is my brain
Don't mean to bug or drive you insane
Don't have to guess just, just what I'm sayin'
If I had a point, I'd say it plain
Dammit my brain is blank and that's lame
I would be a liar 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 by frustrated former musicians
Switchin the emphasis from art to money
But I demand autonomy what else
I tell you what's wrong to me
The industry's ability to manufacture stars
They churn them out like Iwo Jima 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, and uh, let me tell you how I see
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 mean to bug or drive you insane
Don't have to guess just, just what I'm sayin'
If I had a point, I'd say it plain
Dammit my brain is blank and that's lame
I would be a liar if I said I was inspired
Nothin' to say, but that's ok
Nod your head to this, to this, to this

Don't you know that the Devil he's in me and God she is too
My Yin hates my Yang, but what the hell 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 



"Freak Out"

Get up get up get up and rock it [repeats]
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 



"Soul Sucker"

All through the scandal
Of the small town 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 nearly every day
I know you're tryin' to suck my soul

Oh
Well I'm sick of the chicks and I'm sick of the bars
I'm sick of the scene, it blows the rock stars
I'm sad, yeah it's getting me mad
Hah, I'm tired of you pulling on me
It makes you look foolish and why can't you see
That it's weak just stand on your feet
Get your arms off my shoulders
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 circumnavigated
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigated
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigated
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigated

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

Oh
Well you know the time
You always are tryin'
To clip your wings
And make you not flyin'
It's lame, its always the same
It's human instinct, to criticize
It's takes mental dexterity too keep open eyes
It's true it happened to you
It's sad to be talkin'
While others do the walkin to the promised land
The way that you creep
Makes you look like a leech. so tell me
But you cannot, cannot suck my soul no, no

Cuz the soulsuckers must be circumnavigated
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigated
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigated
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigated
Check it out
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigated



"Nix Hex"

Story time sways away the haze
They spent contemplating, formulating
Theory searing above me swimming
Payin' 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
Walkin' and talkin' low down and evil
Follow me now, yo vato, the nix hex is on

Would 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 moved to L.A.
Waitin' for my big day
Thought I knew what to do
But I didn't have a clue
They tried to tell me it was be there
Or be square with big hair but please (booyah)
I knew that shit was nowhere
And now I'm with my home team
Back with my good scene
I'm glad and so is Chad
Tell ya what I mean
We're layin' back on it just like good sex
Smooth yet psychedelic it's called the nix hex

The monologue of a distant dog
Las banderas de san juan piden pa lord it's on
Go tell it on a mountain and bring a friend
You'll maybe get dizzy with a sense 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

Word up to Cypress Hill 



"Today My Love"

Here I sit in idle envy
T.V. show still holds me in
Thin steel creases my ???
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



MUSIC
"Welcome"

[SA echo's in parenthesis]
Welcome to this groove you csn move right

A Coney Island of the mind it's mine

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

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

"Visit"

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 (world)
He's in another place (place)
You know the need for speed is just another form of greed
But when your Jones'n (Jones'n)
Your brain is frozen (frozen)
You're not thinkin' about the choices your makin'
You're just rollin' on and on, it's anybody's guess
Cause 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 (visit)
And he and she are what I need, yes they're what I need (visit)
But I'm gonna buy a ticket, I'm not gonna even pick it
(reggae raga, reggae raga, reggae)
I heard it, he said it, I heard it
(reggae raga, reggae raga, reggae)
But it went, but it went something like

Visit
I wanna visit the world
So now I visit the world
With my time on this world

Because living when you're hungry is a dog in an alley
Now I mind my business cause I'm rhymin down in Cali
I ain't playin' when sayin' kings of the ghetto
Feel they losing ground
Vato's going loco because everyone's brought down
This is a visit to then we dead fade to dust stricken'
I'm wearing my Doc Martens cause
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 cause that's the 311 style (visit)
Cruise on by the frowners float follow me now with a smile (visit)
(reggae raga, reggae raga, reggae)
Looking at the ocean, I say there's plenty
(reggae raga, reggae raga, reggae)
Looking at the river, I say there's plenty so

Visit
I wanna visit the world
So now I visit the world
With my time on this world

Jump up and down cause that's the 311 style (visit)
Cruise on by the frowners float follow me now with a smile (visit)
I've got a golden ticket, I'm not gonna even pick it
(reggae raga, reggae raga, reggae)
I heard it he said it I heard it
(reggae raga, reggae raga, reggae)
But it went, but it went something like

Visit
I wanna visit the world
So now I visit the world
With my time on this world
Visit
I wanna visit the world
So now I visit the world
With my time on this world



"Paradise"

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]



"Unity"

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
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 in your face know your place come on like
Word they come like a heard but they said
We'd drop like a lead zeppelin in your face
But that's nothin' hometeam
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 grooves 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 maks you feel ill
It runs in my family
Steppin' and goin' and lyin' and cryin'
My brain is on fire it feels like I'm flying through space
Yea, 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



"Hydroponic"

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 carbon and 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 damn.
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 with 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.



"Nix Hex"

Story time
Sways away the haze
They spent contemplating, formulating, theory siring abuse 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 be down with us are thinking Newschool, 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 when I was loaded
And voted the least likely to turn out like us
So I moved to LA
Waiting for the big day
So I knew what to do I didnt have a clue
They tried to tell me it was be them
Or be square big hair with the police (Boy ya)
I knew that shit was nowhere
And now Im with my hometeam
Back with the good scene Im glad and so is Chad
Tell ya what I mean
We're layin back on it just like good sex
Smooth yet physcodelic its called the nix hex
The monolouge of the distant day
Las banderas de san juan piden pa moyon
Go tell it on a mountain
Then again bring a friend
You'll maybe get dizzy with a scene of vertigo
Uplifted soul from the view that I'm nothin but love
But love But love in my blood sonic in the vortex
This is the hip thing It's called the nix hex
Dig it
Word up to Cypress Hill



"Plain"

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



"Feels So Good"

Well everybody got opinion that's loud and unbending
I spend my time healing and mending together
It's a question of whether live positive, well I give
P-Nut is a brother that's always got a girlfriend
I say the lyrics that'll put you in a whirlwind
Ese' has the wisdom of a Noble Laureate
I'm down for our days of glory
It's easy to do when you're up with Sexton
A rythmatic genius churnin' out the next one
But you know bro I flow in this circumstance
You'll get your chance

Just take a moment to have a fit once in a while
I do it daily and like it but that's my style, here I go
In your face
Feels so good
In your face
Feels so good

Go Ese'
Trip this get up on the tipness
Don't sweat or let it set once you grab it
Come and get some to have and to flaunt
Know about it know I got the news if you want
I pocket I lock it I sock it your mind I rock it
Shell shocked it maybe I groove dammit I know it
F up the truth that's how I show it
In the half light Ese' sounds Nicks a night light
I'm rappin' he's snappin' on
Something you might like now
Don't frown if I chose to
Cut it up brothers you can't take it with you

[Chorus]

Get this my stream of consciousness is a sea
Much like Bukowski with a rage
Speaking to the page beasts in the cage
Jumping off the stage, diving
Thriving, striving, for a better day Ese'
Beat back by flesh shattered doors
Bragging fists to the sky you're feelin' high
Yes to live and die

[Chorus]



"Do You Right"

I don't insist I am no fabulist
You can take it take it don't leave it
Just let loose 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 stregnth of your charm
I feel like I'd give my left arm
But I'm sure that you've heard this before

And when we spend the night I check if you're alright
How it was, I don't mean to bug
If it ended now I would just think of how
How it was, in love yes in love

[Bridge]

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

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'll be there til' I'm dead

[Bridge]

[Chorus] 



"Fat Chance"

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 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



GRASSROOTS

"Homebrew"

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 struck a bird, you heard, absurd, word to the fact
I'm a cat, nippin', sippin' on the flask
Passin' it, talkin' shit, but only if you're an ass
In front of me 'cuz you could run from me but
In the end, revenge send ends to the defendant
I can't get caught in the spiral
'Cuz 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
Oh, I've been insane
And I won't ever be the same

'Cuz we flow we must be fly
First to flow, Nick, oh my brother, so wise
And then I rise (???)
Here's an ill kid pimpin' cuz he is so slick
Steps from darkness, his body electric
A drone buzzes the air, a cracklin' tone
Then boomin' like thunder in a cosmic jungle
Death defyin' like Evil Knievel
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, a fresh eternal alien
Now famished from pathless ways, I'ma do damage
To the whack MCs, I know you can't stand this
Right about now, get down, I'm the annihilator
Rockin' with the rhythm of my rhyme detonator

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
Oh, I've been insane
And I won't ever be the same



"Lucky"

I'm taking it 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 world, 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 flyguy
You know I'm smoother
Of course no remorse is left for all you 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 promise to get clean
Won't kick, half-dead, you're fucked up in the head
Just get him out of here, get him out of here
Get him out of here, uh, yeah, he's making me sick
We push a sucker out, with much force and much clout
Didn't want to do it, that's not what we're about
But you gotta have a limit, how low can you get it
Seems about time to change the subject and sing about
The wise-eyed girl that makes me feel good
And never do I leave misunderstood

Aw, yeah, can you feel it
I know you feel good too
You got a choice of what you're gonna do
It's like this, that
Herb is where it's at
Mix a melody with some backchat
Tell 'em again, can you feel it
I know you feel good too
You got a choice of what you're gonna do
It's like this, that
Herb is where it's at
Mix a melody with some backchat

I'm rollin' slow, no particular place to go
So nothing's changed, the more things stay the same
The more it doesn't matter to a latter day St. Bernard
Acting hard, but I throw down like a crazy retard
But what could make a man wanna walk around the schoolyard with his tool hard
And what could make the switch to call a girl a bitch
It probably happened when you first started rappin'
And when you know that you were stuck with Beavis
Now 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

Come on, every night, yeah, we turnin' up
And comin' off live like a final 311 battle breaking idols
On the one you never heard before
You know the hard-core rockin' pumpin' the dance floor
Leave ya feet sore looking for your Micatin
You know the mic is deadly in the mood we into
Certified, not fakin', cool like a Jamaican
Every time the enemy hear us, they will be shakin'

Damn
I know you feel good too
You got a choice of what you're gonna do
It's like this, that
Herb is where it's at
Mix a melody with some backchat
Tell 'em again, damn
I know you feel good too
You got a choice of what you're gonna do
It's like this, that
Herb is where it's at
Mix a melody with some backchat 

  

"Nutsymptom"

The coda funk has you sunk, feel the mids pump
Blessed are those who erupt when we turn up
Right now we corrupt cons the shades
We don in the neon night
We're gonna feed on the mic and blast through a pipe
I got a 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 brang and swang
Men from Mars ain't ever gonna hang
With dope Buddhas we come to the stage, we are attackin'
Space assassin naked live and never slackin'
Come a day on the way enter one S.A.
Amplified from another world far away
I got the pang of a gang and I come from the Southside
Here's the thang that I brang and I promise to come live

While the masses passes upon their fucking asses
And if you don't see, get glasses
That is a shout out to the words of Curt Grubb
The motherfucker is no scrub, I said the man is the kind
With the one that I call Brine Shrimp
We never ever do skimp, I limp on stage in a huff
Like magic dragon on puff, on the stuff of a Humbot cone
Then I'm stoned, watch out
Smoke the weed that come from Northern California
Not do no cocaine that come from Colombia
That the thing that mash up your nature
Mash up your body and mash up your culture
Take a tip from the flipped script of Daddy Freddy
I give complete props to the one that rocks steady
With dexterity that goes on and on and on
And turn out the dope shit like the one they call
Pawn Shop Press yes, it's on, what's up
P-Nut change it up, one time from your mind, watch out 

  

"8:16 A.M."

Stranger flowers yet
There will never come a day that I 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 to see
I got so many ways to make your gaze elliptical
Got a ways to go, the future's so cryptical 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
Oh, 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 the feel of impermanent bliss
Today my love, we shall let the world slide
Turn off the ringer and just glide
For we will never be younger again then
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
The way to go

A place where we both can spend our saved time
Not collecting interest
Maybe the same reason we always find ourselves homebound
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

   
"Omaha Stylee"

W-w-ww-w-w-w-wake the town and tell the people
311
311
311 is
The people, what's up, the people, what's up
311
311
311 is
The people, what's up, the people, what's up

In a minute, everything you have can all be straight gone
In a minute, things you thought 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 but

The dreams they had make me sad
Because of the vibes 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 I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna
I'm gonna tell you and then I said
We're comin' in kill, we're comin' in chill
We're comin' in how we will
Want to tell the whole world what's the deal
And I say know no critical border 'cause we do what we want
Got more funky styles than 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, and I say

Omaha stylee did not think there was one
Where you know the radio's weak and the shows are more fun
But you know we fucked up the dance hall since 1988
Many did not think when they hear we come from this state
Still we're down like that, still we're down like that
Still we're down like that, kickin' the funk that smells of skunk

Omaha stylee did not think there was one
Where you know the radios weak and the shows are more fun
But you know we fucked up the dance hall since 1988
Many did not think when they hear we come from this state

The dance hall that we come from was a pool table basement
The bud was low-key and the records were Jamaican, but uh

Such occasions occur back in the day
It begins you're a raw kid all the way
Son of a gun, but then you drifted
All are endowed, but few are gifted
At the break of dawn, behavin' like a spy
Lampin' in the light, the cold world awakens
Deeper is the light to open up the sky
Look into my eyes and see the dialating

Omaha Stylee is the shit we come with man
Embedded in our souls it breaths out from this band
We always knew that we could
Thank you if you too thought we would

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 and I say

Omaha stylee did not think there was one
Where you know the radios weak and the shows are more fun
But you know we fucked up the dance hall since 1988
Many did not think when they hear we come from this state
Still we're down like that, still we're down like that
Still we're down like that, kickin' the funk that smells of skunk

We will arise, explore these worlds and find the grassroots
How to crew to do the grinding of the grounds to brew
My dude on the one to come off like Teflon
Rock your shit and you will rise on

If you're a farmer out standing in your field, say uhh
Do as you will, do as you wish, follow your bliss, say uhh
We travel around the country giving it our best
We like to see the people dancing
And bouncing and the rest

The hammer and the chisel and the rule it compass
We forge a sword, the chariots of war, a battle axe

There's much power in anger, but loves a bigger banger
Complete props to my crew 'cause this is how we do
Omaha Stylee

  
"Applied Science"

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 I'd like to see deletion of parasites
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

"People never seem to get over the wise breath, but all is said and all you do is sigh..." 

  
"Taiyed"

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

  
"Silver"

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.

  
"Grassroots"

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 

  
"Salsa"

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'ma 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 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 


 "Lose"

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 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
 

"Six"

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

  
"Offbeat Bare-Ass"

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]



"1,2,3"

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

"Down"

Chill light on my sight as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words onmy tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
While I scatter myspit I dream of juice
Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kissthat made your day or say
Played a track from your record collection
It's yourmix, congratulations
We've changed a lot and then some - some
You know that wehave always been down - down
And if I ever didn't thank you - you
Then just letme do it now
Come back in I bet you light up when we start the show
Follow menow very closely 'cuz I told you so
You know we glow because we throw sun-rays
We be freaky and we wanna stay
We've changed a lot and then some - some
You knowthat we have always been down - down
And if I ever didn't thank you - you
Thenjust let me do it now
Lightning strikes yo we be in that violent force of light
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolemite
Cuz we're dope kid change like achameleon and the
Channel whenever that wack show real world is on
You know wedazzle like ghetto box boomin' battles
Rattle inside your head feel redeemedlike cola bottles
Fall in love with your teachers on the wax
We are self madecheck the technique, 311 in LA
We've changed a lot and then some - some
You knowthat we have always been down - down
And if I ever didn't thank you - you
Thenjust let me do it now
Keep my feet on the ground
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
Comes from the down - and
We've changed a lot and thensome - some
You know that we have always been down - down
And if I ever didn't thank you - you
Then just let me do it now 



"Random"

Sound boy proceed to blast into the galaxy
Go back rocket man into the skyyou'll see
Hear it all the time, come back rewind
Aliens are watching up in thesky
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
They all want you to play I watchthe birds of prey
that hunt the canyon below my house
Looking for a meal like alizard or a mouse I wonder
if they appreciate the setting like me
To controlyour own direction choose to be free
And I reserve the right to be as trite as Iwant
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 crewI don't hate you peace is my priority 'cuz
Marley said for sure-ity
Just what doyou think I'm doin' I'm not just here for screwin yo
And if it's sore take careof it perhaps from too much stucking
But anytime your aware of it then keep onfucking
You know we cool
Hey hey isn't that random?
When we come boutpeople 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?
Tobe the one who has it all is not that hard
And I'll be that type of dude in afunky car I dream of a suit that will fit my rhyme
When I recognize my girl froma former life
I love it when the only sound that I hear Is your infectiouslaughter
I will hear you again in 800 years If I'm still lucky
Go north on
Outpost then take a left on Mullholland
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 looklike summer
And i'm down with no doubt swing
You know we cool
Hey hey isn'tthat 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?
I break a silly peace for offering rap weasel
ThenI'm boffering I'd give you an exclusive on my playlist
The thought and styles Ikick are from a random 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 asprecious laughter
Many don't agree but we can't care about that
'Cuz we're nevergonna wear the old hat.
Spoken 



"Jackolantern's Weather"

Well I beat a bad rap when I skip a soul trap
Just trippin' and laughin' atthe crap
Dap is what I get the best skins that I hit
You know we rock thefuckin' joint and we split
Singin' an ryhmin's what I'm better for
When Idescribe I'm a scribe with a metaphor I use a simile lightly
'cuz that shitsplayed
The common way most ryhmes are made, ya know I rock like this I flow likethat
But all those comparisons are just that
Kickin' different styles I'll beright here
Today, tomorrow, next week and next year I always say
what I feel andthat is a promise
Nothing in life is above being honest
Sauna is cool comparedto being on stage
But that's how it's gotta go in the stone age
The fame in mygame I name rapture
Like a polished rock I'll make it shine for sure
Word isthat I've travelled become unravelled
I been around the world baby gimme anapple
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, loveus right back
The kid is smart the kid is clever
Stompin' in jack-o-lantern'sweather
Backpack strapped 'cuz the world is cold
Headphones pumpin' don't yaknow
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 ohshit 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 giftedclass
Now here's the deal we came to heal we gonna rock in Rio
Oh no it's not ajoke it's how we feel
Put to test like a Sugar Ray scientist I'm always dancingin my
Sunday best I'm betting on my bliss and my path is lit' see
The microphoneis live and I'm rockin' my body
Smooth like Reggie Miller in an airborne freezeframe
Funky like the kung-fu that can put you to shame
The kid is smart the kidis clever
Stompin' in jack-o-lantern's weather
Backpack strapped 'cuz the worldis 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
Whilemaple leaves change into yellow I'm like hey wait a minute
Give a check on twothen I'm ready to begin it
With a boom boom bap coming outta your trunkies
Givea fat shout out to the Phunk Junkeez
Striken like a cancer taken chances
But Ilove to see the girl windin' like the belly dancer
Standin' up front with atight stomach showin
Me on stage singin, flowin
We just kickin' it live we justkickin' it live
'Cuz if you can't kick it live you gonna die
'Fraid so punk soquit talkin' junk
You need a live show like a ball player needs a dunk 
  

"All Mixed Up"

You've got to trust your instinct
And let go of regret
You've got to bet onyourself now star
'Cause that's your best bet
Watch me now with a wicked andwild and I said
We come with the funky style that gets us known for the show
Andwe'll mix the hip hop reggae if we say it is so
And fuck the naysayers causethey don't mean a thing
Cause this is what style we bring
Now it's morning butlast night's on my mind
There's something I need to get off my chest
And nomatter what may come to shine
The dream will always be mine
All mixed up, youdon'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 getoff of your ass
All mixed up, you don't know what to do
Next thing you turnaround and find the person is you
Thought a freak might be the thing
But youknow this will pass, so just get off of your ass

And let go of regret
You've got to bet on yourself now star
`Causethat's your best bet
Watch me now with a wicked and wild and I said

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 offmy chest
And no matter may come to shine
The dream will always be mine
You keepme coming,

But I saw you doingsomething
Which is really truly nothing
But you could bust me out all day
Manymoons since first I saw you
Many moons since first we did the do
Many moonssince first I saw you
Many moons since first we did the do
And why did I trywhen I knew it was no and
Why did I try when I say it was so
But save it forlate we should just let it skate
'Cause the waiting feel is fine
 

"Hive"

Coming like a nightmare word like I'm gonna go for it
Fuckin' around what yagot to show for it?
Let it be know that I'm in the zone
And whatever I need Ijust pick up the phone
'Cuz I'm true with it and you're new with it I just swingthe 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 weswings 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'tstop 311 show them the air is rarified
But you don't give a damn 'cuz the grooveis hellafied
Grew up punk, listening to funk I'm a hyper type of fella that doesnot touch junk
You're the back of the pack and the bottom of the stack
That'swaht you get when you're steady talkin' shit
Not goin' for self that shit is onthe shelf
It's 95 and we go for the hive
Listen up this you're gonna bump tothis
And if I'm feelin' mean I'm gonna clutch my fist
Now when I say mean, Imean I'm gonna rock it
You're gonna find out kid I'm bout to shock it
When I'mon I'm gone I hear the beat that spawns
The way we freak it and we kick up astorm
The day we turn to pop the show will stop
So feel the beat and get lostnow
Back to part 2 the hard way we play
Sublime on time to all the fans I'm
SAAnd if you don't know I say check the show
Do what you got to on the dance floor
Some say the style is wack but I say fuck that
Get the hell back and watch usrock the set
We cast the mold bust it cold explode
Megatrendsetters known aroundthe globe
Friends takin' you where you never been
We done what we wantedcraftin' poems
You can rock there is a glow around you
Lose control holmes justlike we do
Hard to obtain brotha' what's my name
Mad to find unlike ya mamma andyour masquerade I drive a mach-
1 no dashboard Jesus I hear voices say that's Doug Martinez
You're all up in my mix like fuckin' Betty Crocker
You thinkyou're playing me but actually you're a jocker
You bad mouth me bitch man yougivin me juice
It aint nothin' but a party everybody get loose
Notice what Idon't do when stress steps to me
Whatever your complaint so sue me I say fuckthe naysayers and keep goin
Gotta do what I gotta do to get the people glowin'
So let everybody gather the more the better I represent the traveler him
he's ashredder
At ease with yourself and don't try to please me
I'm just here todaythen quickly I'm out
On the town one light I'm a glow worm
For several hourswiggle jiggle like I'm a huge sperm
Can't appreciate a brothers love of funkymusic
You think I'm a silly rabbit 'cuz my style has tricks
Of the way I feelnow I just got to rock
The music be poppin through me like electric shocks Ithink
and blink and I wink but that shits not tiny
'Cuz in a blink of an eyelashyou will not find me
You're the back of the pack and the bottom of the stack
That's what you get when you're steady talkin' shit
Not goin' for self that shitis on the shelf
'Cuz it's 95 and we go for the hive 

  
"Guns (Are For Pussies)"

Here comes the thunder down under, we're natural wonders
Night falls when weleave all you feel is the hunger
Sunrises of people all shapes and sizes
Dig onthe decade and realize it's funky
No matter this rude boy stll got that swagger
My ears have heard all these crews but we're badder Interracial, special,
positive beings I am I be a cool awakwening
It's getting hectic the metrics thebody electric
Everybody in worn out blue jeans or tacky dresses
This is the citywe've reached we've come to
Go unrecognized on the corner or make moves
All thelights are red all the poets are dead
A familiar nightmare appears in my head
Times are a changin' myself I'm rearrangin'
Dream eight-thousand-five-twelve allblazin'
Born to act out,
Paranoid with a gat
Born to act out,
Think you knowwhere it's at
Born to act out,
But you're lookin' like a sissie
Born to act out,
Guns are for pussies I'm not from Philly but some say I'm a blunt
That's justthe way I am and no I'm not going to front
And yes I took a trip to find outabout the ways of big
City seedy bars and drugs that make you feel shitty
Prettyolder women in skirts conversation frisky
Stinking cigarettes and plenty ofbourbon whisky
Sad classical music on the jukebox of doom Hollywood Blvd.
Barflyfrolic room
Tomb of lost souls some beyond salvage
Some just having fun openingsteam valvage I was one becoming
the other hellbent to discover
Had to pull upthe 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 you're hard,
But you're in fear of getting harmed
I fear no manand
I am unarmed



"Misdirected Hostility"

Not I'm not the type to just act like I know
Puttin on an angle putting on ashow
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 handleall the negative vibe merchants
Is that all you have in you per chance
So muchangst and pain it's so wack
You should take a tip from the one Frank
Black Playsome 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 theparty men
Cosmetics that you fretted
We sport the high asthetic H
ere go rapkickin the dazzled crazy mathematic
I am what I am mix some old school jams ontotape cuz the
Party's in the crates I scan step into the realm
What you gonna do
Give 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'swhat you got
Bodyrock pop and lock here's an example
Boulevard chrome beatsalways ampin' your temple
Punks get got in the age of hip hop
It's just begunlike stolen bikes on the blacktop
Born to sing a lyric immaculately concepted
Nostrain in your game if your game is respected
Come as you are radio star
Drownout the hatred with a rhyme
An electric guitar
Dispatched when rap shattered theglass of radio access
May we turn some soul on their rythmless dances
You knowthe time and they'l know the scoop
They'l say it was a rhyme and a beat of a rapgroup
Your rhymes have been outmoded
Your rhymes have been outmoded
Your rhymeshave been outmoded
Your rhymes have been outmoded
Your rhymes have beenoutmoded
So just quityourbellyachin'
You're saying that your tortured
Give me afuckin break and
Maybe take out the source
Of your disparing what do I mean
Kickthe 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'mginseng
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

  
"Purpose"

Coming up to the surface and maybe
I'll neversee you again then again who knows
Make me quiver hands will shiver
Still gotall 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 dueis 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 tothe surface and maybe
I'll never see you again then again who knows
Make mequiver hands will shiver
Still got all the things that I woulda give her, yeah
But it's slow going something's showing
Yeah, yeah

It does to my sight what the prism does to light
You're quicker than me ridiculoussee
You come follow me get lobotomy
You're quicker than me ridiculous see
Youcome follow me get lobotomy
We trip the 'shrooms fantastic
And shit gets drasticelbow pull and kick
We trip the 'shrooms fantastic
And shit gets drastic, checkit out
Make an instrumental add a little vocal
Take to the stage and make thepeople go loco
Make an instrumental add a little vocal
Take to the stage andmake the people go loco 



"Brodels"

Ooh you know we pepper you
With a sonic assault side step a you I cannotthink of a better way
That we could celebrate freedom
Than make up a set ofgoals and cold beat 'em
See dumb verbal tags like audio spaghetti
Give a shoutto the one they call
Yeti I bet he put the cabash on any foes whatsoever
Likeoriginal brodel Trevor
Positive vibe merchant grandson of Lord Buckley
Scottish Ralston shows up if you're lucky
Ad Raspler the sweed a friend in deed
He'skeeping an eye on the other guy's greed
These are 311 characters I dubbedeveryone
The story ain't over but my rhyme is done
It was the year that I firsttouched ground
So I grabbed the microphone and I got down
Just like James Browngather round of our sight and sound
Pound for pound we throw down ratherprofound
I'll put you in another world I can't hear you
Like having phone sexwith a deaf girl
No doubt we got the jams that'll smack ya I penned three booksof lyrics
2 for action 1 for backup
'Cuz I'm a cold rockin' brother gottransistor tunes
And it feels real good to get close to you
The brodels is thenazz and the nazz knows where it's at
The brodels is the nazz who knows a catwho can feed a cat
The goal is to be a poet and a carpenter
To be one who lovesto be one who works
The nazz not something that can be given
The brodel isinside you it comes from within
When I feel into the sea
When the world came andkissed me
Transformed my shit told the shark I was a dolphin
Swam quick funnythough
Pirranahs chilled and laughed at
The way that I took off my polka dots ontop of that
The whales know I'm quick watch out
And I get funky fresh as for thefishes
I'm lit luminous I'm not nouveau techno I glow like a glacial
In skinthat swims faster than speed I am I be dropped out of nothing
I will return tonothing
Rotate my style my rhyme my way magician of a rhythm
Lover of animalsdamn I wanna hear 'em
Aquatic my way I got soul shape
Well I'm 6 foot 3 andlike Mohammed Ali I float like a butterfly
but sting like poison ivy
Drive a 69lincoln suicide doors
Around the town I'm slinking fat subs of course
We're thegreatest show on earth
You know we turn it out daily
In and out of town like Barnum 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,
smokedfish, duck, or clam chowder
Chill with indica and
Guinness Steer clear of whitepowder I run into my brother give him a pound
and a yodel
They know my word isbond talkin' bout the brodels
The brodels is the nazz and the nazz knows whereit's at
The brodels is the nazz who knows a cat who can feed a cat
The goal isto be a poet and a carpenter
To be one who loves to be one who works
The nazznot 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 withimpertinency
Lost a lot in Vegas plays a lot of Sega
Saw a phrase that he likesand 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 bethinkin'
All the shit that we kickin' our shoes must be stinkin' 



"Don't Stay Home"

Life could slip away in absent minded numbness
I'm only sayin this 'cuz Iwish for the best
When you always stay in self-incarceration I think it's such ashame
Don't stay home this time now don't stay home
If he don't have to hedon't want to
Don't stay home this time no don't say no
Oh how I'd like todiffuse 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 nowdon't stay home
If he don't have to he don't want to
Don't stay home this timeno don't say no
Everything I'm sayin' you can dismiss
Because I sat alone onthis 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 berunnin around the block
For no apparent reason
Somethin' you'll catch me doin'in any given season
Gotta break a sweat man gotta go bust out Buddy bye bye byebye
Good-bye to the drought - yea
Don't stay home this time now don't stayhome
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 now don't stay home
If he don't have to he don'twant to
Don't stay home this time no don't stay home



"Dont Let Me Down"

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 



"Sweet"

Take a chance on something star you gotta
All the live long day
If I had toname one thing you think data
Be hard pressed to say
You can't say I'm gushy,
Atleast 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 thingIt'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 yourway 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 outthere for you and me
Can't wait to get on the road and feel the shows
And belike phenomenon number 1 and 2 and 3
I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast
But I am the guy that could give you the most
It's good good good, It'sunderstood
Buddy buddy buddy I know why you wander
Through the sweetness on theground
The sweetness of the flowers
You make your way on a cloudy day
You've gotto move
The world you prove is too sweet, yeah 



"T & P Combo"

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 weatheract's it's a shame ok
Badder behavior in our shit is flavor
Grandiose endeavorsyes the quest is greater
Make no mistake I know the time and I wake I slip onlywhen
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 knowI'm about the function
If someone brings you down keep punching
We bunched in alittle house where conditions got squalid
But where we at now - solid I concurtime it slurs and it blurs
The vision like a drug and yo it's the word
Howabsurd deliver us from nerds
And funky 40 oz. glass littered curbs
Soon thechurch pitted bell will clang
Boys on the corner mack with slang play a dicegame
When I walk by it some bag lady goes sha-na-na-na
Your street time islimited 'cuz this band rocks it
Take your whole crew put 'em all in your pocketIf your feelin' sick rub it on

Rub it on down withthe sweet super mixer
Late night radio players late night airwave invaders
Yeahwe 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 withsoul 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 regretit no that's not what I'm saying
Remember this instead I'm staying
We played ina little house where conditions got squalid
But where we at now - solid
Wehauled a van with a RV that was a bad call It all went up in flames
but Ihaven'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
Theadventures of a cosmic hero
From planet to planet my tags a crater
If you're notin the future you're not here either
Labeled psychedelic we can play disco
Whenthe going gets weird you know the weird turn pro

TRANSISTOR
"Transistor"

If you want more beats for you buck there's no luck [4x]
Then there's no luck
Then again if you came for drama then I can't understand a
Music critics [2x]
Not afraid of a guy who'll tell you he's never been in a mix
Been in a mix [2x]
We're from the grassroots so big up to our 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 311 [4x]
311
Brothers from another planet and here once again
Automatic [2x]
Quantam saints of the universe in a holographic
Cosmic remix [2x]
From the mysterious blue planet
We can breathe anywhere
Under water, out in space, and in LA
Your polluted air's no problem for these homeys

You're a transistor
Lightning resistor [2x]
Conducting to the mother star
That's what you are



"Prisoner"

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 [2x]
I'm floating in the dark alone and
Is there any love out here let me know

A laser lights pinpoints 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 raggae 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 if four

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 good bye

Twilight zone [2x]
I'm floating in the dark alone and [2x]
Is there any love out here let me know
No way [2x] 
  

"Galaxy"

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 were 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 lets 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 burning fossil fuels I don't even need to
Free energy has been harnessed
We don't use it why
Cuz the techniques been suppressed
The hour glass has passed through granules
That's cool we gotta break it
Bust all these rules and switch
Change up the pitch
Rearrange our lives and this dumb shit we'll ditch

Let's come together with this new coast shit
We got the motherfuckin' kids now lets freak this shit
It's messed up when you're feeling everything is wrong
Dealin' in our Chevrons

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 the plane
We live on

  
"Beautiful Disaster"

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 



"Inner Light Spectrum"

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' yeah
Let it flow
Cuz it won't stop

And when the kind consiousness yes 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

There is one thing I will say on life
We are livin' yeah
Let it flow
Cuz it won't stop

And when the kind consiousness yes come unto you
You will know and it won't stop

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
Of your pride [2x]
Chugalug it [2x]
Time after time [3x]
Learning your lesson [2x]
Will do you fine
Do you fine [2x]
 

"Electricity"

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 just scoff
You can't burn me [2x]

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 [2x]

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
A call out for unity
In every province and city
What do you think we've been saying
Since we first started playing



"What Was I Thinking"

The word that I heard was so absurd
I can't believe it slipped from my lips
The tongue with which it was sung was so dumb [2x]
I wish to pull it from my skull

What the fuck was I thinking [8x]



"Jupiter"

Sometimes the only thing that saves you
Think of bad things luck never gave you
And although your 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 satisfied
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 dive
Stay positive and love your life

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



"Use Of Time"

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 the I hear is the deafening sound
Of you hearts pound

But the trying again
Makes me think it's all gonna end
Confusing use of time

Today, the longest day
Hearing repeating things you'd say
Confusing use of time
Can you hear the void I describe
What could I say vacancy sounds like
Confusing use of time

But the trying again
Makes me think it's all gonna end
Confusing use of time 



"The Continuous Life"

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 bind
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 convertion
Van or an electra
Buick of the mind full of
Fuminous matter
And slowly all the pressure
Recedes and you stop to decay
Naturally think clearly
Ultimately though 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

It's not ambuguous
It be continuous
It's all about us
It's for real my man [2x]
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 riff
I wanna be free I wanna do right
I move through the portal
To be purified

It's not ambuguous
It be continuous
It's all about us
It's for real my man [3x]
The continuous life there is no end
Movin' through life
Movin' through death




"No Control"

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, son named Tom
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 thired eye is the prize of unifyin' Horus
The Pleadies will smash out of Taurus
Energy pure decompose in the porous
Soil of life moving on it's courses
Crystals 'neath the surface radiate the cycle
Combing minerales 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 [2x]
Let's take that funk 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 up serving
Is am I really deserving

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 leep 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

Wanna take it further [2x]
Let's take that funk further

  

"Running"

Here in the world feel it flowing
River of life on a human journey
Don't be afraid of becoming the sea
Don't worry yourself [3x]
Many stories will
Be left untold
But understand everything must go

Slow slow lover

Hurting don't make a sound
Oh livin' is a journey

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 [3x]
There's some wildness
There and mercy
It's the emptiness we
Love touching

Slow slow lover
Rub you down
We don't want no one
Hurting don't make a sound
Oh livin' is a journey
Waking believing running

Oh livin' is a journey
Waking believing running




"Light Years"

You're a thousand light years runnin' through my brain
Reminding me that no one's sane
Not all the time
Yes

You're a thousand light years runnin' 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 crazy I see that plainly
You waited on pins for me
But needles never ever love
What did you think of



"Creature Feature"

I wanna do what's right
Be kind to every single body
Open up to light
Just let it flow through
My body

But sometime's
I'm unsure [2x]
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 love
Just see the good in everybody

But sometimes
I'm unsure [2x]
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

I'm slippin' into darkness
I'm creepin' into darkness
I don't want to start this
I'm attracted to darkness 

  
"Tune In"

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
Fuckin' wish they had

Tune in for those who are wantin'
Vision feel it from within
Sing along
Tune in for those who are wantin'
Vision feel it from within
You know

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 LA Tokyo and New York
Come on pay a fee
Smoke your booty weed
Put gas in your tank
Keep you city bumpin'

Tune in for those who are wantin'
Vision feel it from within
Sing along [2x]
Tune in for those who are wantin'
Vision feel it from within
You know 

  
"Rub A Dub"

Ooh, what else can I do [2x]
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 doing whoa
Long time see troubles are brewing yeah
Stick to the way you rock it and know that
You'll cope with that
Not gonna let it sit til I say
How dope was that
Keep you head pumping til 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

Ooh, what else can I do [2x]
Ooh, face in a screw
Ooh, racing to prove
You never remember
The blossom sender
Still in a rub a dub style

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

  
"Starshines"

I am a music lover 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 place 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 got to say hola
Orange County to Angola
I go back to the beat [2x]
It never lets me down
Zone in and let it rola

I deem stream of sweat that connects me to you
I still be all about that thing that 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

Yo I got to say hola
Orange county to Angola
I go back to the beat [2x]
It never lets me down
Zone in and let it rola

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 were 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 into it we could unlock
I'm not saying we could escape fate tunneling in this vast
Untranslatable energy filled of dust and ash 
  

"Strangers"

Now I don't know you you don't know me
But I can show you where's the beat [2x]
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

And you can do as you feel as long as you move
Two perfect strangers sharing a groove

  
"Borders"

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
Crave material thangs and makin' slave wages
Baggy pockets only got laundry fluff
Livin' where rich people always buyin' some stuff
So you try to act tough and hide whats inside
Hold your head high gettin' fucked up and throwin' dice
As bad as yours 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'
There's a land by the sand grab the money
Hollywood is such a place fuelin' the frenzy
And everybody starts to peep around corners
Before they take their next step they know their borders

In this $19.98 plus shipping and handling type
Netherworld everytime merchandise dips in our coffers
We buy that image that cost of livin' uh huh
The fakest shit and act cool our friends are watchin'
Attention shoppers check the selection in our reflection
Don't you feel good does it enhance your fresh complexion
You gotta have it you got got to have it [2x]
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 were better
We look down as a people upon our elders

There's a land by the sand grab the money
Now let go of it cause it's dissolving
It created all your fears and kept you hustling
Made you sever all the ties to your family
There's a land by the sand grad the money
Plastic the life end of the century
People actin' fake can't see the omens
Wake up yourself cause change is comin'
There's a land by the sand grab the money
Hollywood is such a place fuelin' the frenzy
And everybody starts to peep around corners
Before they take their next step they know their borders

  
"Stealing Happy Hours"

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 here there's no more gates and I gotta say

Stealing happy hours [4x]

Don't wait one minute more to ask me
You make me feel like Hank Chinaski
In war all the time war (war) war all the time
We're snatching bits of time that
No one else can seem to find

Stealing happy hours [4x]
Stealing happy hours [4x] 

  

SOUNDSYSTEM

"Freeze Time"

I'd like to stay here just like this
it's just a momentary bliss
that's all we can hope for
that's 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
what you have
you found the cure
and Morse codes for rapture
get with your rhythm
get with your nature

The moment's running down the mountain
it can be captured from a fountain
sometime all that it can be
absence of agony
pleasure from the lack of pain

You will be immortal man
one in the hand
you will know exactly then
what 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 compare to your realization
when you come 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
fell 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 dark is a seem
that is caving in
mutating rearranging your soul
changing form again

You will be immortal man
one in the hand
you will know exactly then
what 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 compare to your realization
when you come 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
what you have
you found the cure
and Morse codes for rapture
get with your rhythm
get with your nature

and boss DJ illness upon you now quickly
infecting you fast upon the airwaves

and green plants they've got mad life they're sentient

(1, 2, 3, 4)
Everything we do we gotta come original
put your hands 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 a them whine and some a them bitch

comin' up from the heart and
delivered with a wild pitch
sit up on top the rhythm like a wild stallion

all entertainers come original

all entertainers come original
you got to come original you got to come original
all entertainers

Come original



"Large In The Margin"

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

We'll 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
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, and 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
it's you




"Flowing"

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




"Can't Fade Me"

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


"Life's Not A Race"

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 revolves 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
saw the chill-out mix
carve some space
to make you want to listen
it's a bubbling 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 my friend
imagine cloud like
you will form again
through spacey boredom
in the autumn of late afternoon
you are calm, just like a sleepy room

  
"Strong All Along"

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
so you re-evaluate your personal style
what makes you laugh, stand apart
makes you feel good what's in your heart
feeling real great cause the weather is mild
so you check us out on tour, cause your likin' the style

nice guitars, the mics in our hands

Strong all along, strong all along

to every foundation and every crew
from the Malibu shores to the Brooklyn Zoo

givin' respect, to those who keepin' it true

If you are real or a replica

your tribes Pawnee or the Omaha
you could touch me with your fresh aura
cause your energy be phenomena
now move, the people and then voila
take on the love and the good karma

(Come on!)
Strong all along, strong all along
come to find out the arm of the truth is long
i'll break it down for you like this for the hard of listening
you think you're taking the cake, but what's left icing, ( jump!)

Feeling real great cause the weather is mild

Strong all along, strong all along
come to find out the arm of the truth is long
i'll break it down for you like this for the hard of listening
you think you're taking the cake, but what's left icing, ( jump!)



"Sever"

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 




"Eons"

You got a wishing well within
that's ready to begin
see how we roll
see how we roll
i'm tryin' 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 who 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 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

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




"Evolution"

(starshines)

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 



"Leaving Babylon"

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 politition 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...

  
"Mindspin"

Are you missing us
maybe wanting to be kissing us
and if you must, please don't be dismissing us
and when we're gone, bailin' on the bus

Are we immersed in a sea of replicants
hard exteriors and fake gold fronts
loosing yourself in the flavor of the month
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 as see waving at 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 seven months
this is want you want, don't front
I'm feelin' it right now
in this, the gold hour
part clock and part man
reconciling my life span

Keeps 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 twist 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' too 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 seven months
this is want you want, don't front
I'm feelin' it right now
in this, the gold hour
part clock and part man
reconciling my life span

You remain
and refrain
from the pain
of wasted time
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
a paper trail
that prevails
in demystification
people
want to believe
in mysteries
people
want to believe
in mysteries
is the truth so bad?
is the truth so bad?
is the truth so bad?
is the truth so bad? 



"Livin' & Rockin'"

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 



FROM CHAOS

"You Get Worked"

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
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

Yeah, you get worked
yeah, you get worked
yeah, you get worked
yeah, 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
you get worked
 

"Sick Tight"

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 



"You Wouldn't Believe"

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 

  
"Full Ride"

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
 

"From Chaos"

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

"I Told Myself"

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 shoudln'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 wouldnt 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 wouldnt 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 comed 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 

  
"Champagne"

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 
  
  
"Hostile Apostle"

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 

  
"Wake Your Mind Up"

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 
  

"Amber"

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
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 gotta 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 take me away from the norm
whoa, I got to tell you something 




"Uncalm"

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 

  
"I'll Be Here A While"

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
uncertain game of chance
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 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 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'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 a while, ain't going nowhere
Said I, said I, said I, I will survive



"We Do It Like This"

Now look out
whatcha say

when we fuck it daily I see something that sails me
from here to infinity it nails me
to do the groove til the suckas improve
on these so called grooves

a million ways to fuck it up and one to get it right
to the best of modern man keep movin through the night

EVOLVER
"Creatures (For A While)"

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 they're 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



"Reconsider Everything"

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



"Crack The Code"

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 

  
"Same Mistake Twice"

It's one thing to make the
Same mistake twice
Another thing to make it
All of your life
It's one thing to make the
Same mistake twice
Another thing to make it
All of your life

The more you strengthen your denial
The more you turn to your desire
Na na na na
Appetite fight you'll beat it yet
Na na na na
By hook or by crook on that I would bet
Just hang on in there

It's one thing to make the
Same mistake twice
Another thing to make it
All of your life

Lost in a barrel of wine and whining
Snared in a trap of your own designing
Don't be so sure
Nobody knows when it will end
Don't be so sure
Wouldn't I speak up if I'm a true friend
Just hang on in there

It's one thing to make the
Same mistake twice
Another thing to make it
All of your

Life, your life
Another detail just goes by
Fallen into the abyss that has become your life

It's one thing to make the
Same mistake twice
Another thing to make it
All of your life

All of your life

 "Beyond The Gray Sky"

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 




"Seems Uncertain"

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 




"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

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 

  
"Give Me A Call"

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 



"Don't Dwell"

Every time I get near your field of gravity
You look so sad to tell me 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

  
"Other Side Of Things"

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

  
"Sometimes Jacks Rule The Realm"

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

  
  
DON’T TREAD ON ME

"Don't Tread On Me"

Before you're pointed at me
There is a possibility
You better turn that thing around
The fits come easily
So don't you tread on me
Cause I will knock you down

Some days it seems it's not worth it
The fight in me is all gone
And I'm not trying to be perfect
But just get one damn thing done
Before I lose control
I pick myself from the floor

Before you're pointed at me
There is a possibility
You better turn that thing around
The fits come easily
So don't you tread on me
Cause I will knock you down

Never come a day that I'll solve you
Consequently I could never leave you
In the shadow of those looming battleships
I love our canoe
I'm ready for the falls
And those still waters we will find are true

Oh there's a clock in my head
And despite what it says
Another one on the wall
They don't agree at all
And there's a schism in me
And despite what you see
You might see me as calm
But I go out like a bomb

Before you're pointed at me
There is a possibility
You better turn that thing around
The fits come easily
So don't you tread on me
Cause I will knock you down

Whoa
Oh in the comfort of strangers
You don't see the danger
Of just letting it flow
This I know

Before you're pointed at me
There is a possibility
You better turn that thing around
The fits come easily
So don't you tread on me
Cause I will knock you down 



"Thank Your Lucky Stars"

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 



"Frolic Room"

Yeah
There's a gravity in me
Pulling me to want to see
What is going on tonight
Beneath the electric starlight

I like to mix with walks of life
Who live life on the other side
Pulling mussels from their shell
A place to some that looks like hell

Oh
A classic song that the jukebox has on has me moving
Oh
The faces here make it so surreal

Oh, in the company of pretty girls and new vagrants
One drink away from sleeping on the pavement
I'm not quite sure what I find so appealing
About the happy hour stealing

A party, after party
Til' it started to get grating
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 tomorrow's a new tale

In the Frolic Room
Woah
The seat I assume
Yeah
And I'm drawn to the night
And its damn neon light
Yeah

Where are we meeting up at
Let me guess bet I know
Does it have a sign in the window
Ice cold six packs to go
Sleep it up if you have to
There's a booth always in shadow
The reality is all around you
It's the best reality show

Oh, in the company of the privileged and the nearly damned
Mixing like a cocktail of your spirit slam
In the danger zone is where you'll find me
In a certain dive so inviting

A party, after party
Til' it started to get grating
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 tomorrow's a new tale

In the Frolic Room
Woah
The seat I assume
Yeah
And I'm drawn to the night
And its damn neon light
Yeah 



"Speak Easy"

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
End 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
End the quest you're beyond compare
So speak easy

Speak easy
Speak easy
Speak easy 



"Solar Flare"

Not for lack of a gentle mother
I do lack a mental 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 Baghdad

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 with fuel to ignite.

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



"Waiting"

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 

  

"Long For The Flowers"

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

Don't think I take lightly
The one thing we feel
I wish for surviving
But time, but time
It steals like a thief

Woah, Don't think I take lightly
The one thing we feel
I wish for surviving
But time, but time
It steals like a thief




"Getting Through To Her"

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
And well crazy horse that's me
Her hard parts I'm cradling
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




"Whiskey And Wine"

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
We forgot the steps
We both lost our balance
Now I drink to forget

Whiskey and wine
Killing me shot at a time

You pour the liquor in the cup and then you swirl it around
Cause, you don't remember if you're up or you're down (up or you're down)
A temporary fix
Or moment's elixir
Yeah and I will say
I put my hand up in the air and I won't do it again, naw (put my hand)
Can't promise it because I don't pretend to know (to know what)
What the price I pay
Yeah yeah
Not a remedy for a thing and I will do it again, naw

Whiskey and wine
Killing me shot at a time

Whiskey and wine
Killing me shot at a time




"It's Getting OK Now"

There will come a time
When I no longer am
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 



"There's Always An Excuse"

Ohhh ohhh
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Aw, always a reason for someone

There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Aw, always tiptoe around the turncoat today
Yeah
Which mood is it gonna be today
Yeah

This time you've done it
You hurt yourself good
Your best friend is gone
And it's understood
All alone and no singing
At a true LA style
Your phone stopped ringing

There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Aw, 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't win if they 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 gave up and let out some slack
Take it back
Don't think you're the only one going through it
Take it back

There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Awww

There's always an excuse when you need one
Always an excuse when you need one
Always an excuse when you need one
Always an excuse when you need one
Always an excuse when you need one
Always, awww, awww, always

  

UPLIFTER
"Hey You"

You've changed your tune any times
Since we've met
But I'll always recognize you
You are part of me
I feel you
Whether in Jamaica or in the Angel City
You are such a gift to me
Ooooh

Hey you
I gotta tell you my long time friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
And the good times that we spent

Hey you
You're my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I'm sayin'
And we've just begun
Uuuuh

I've got one wish for this music
To be an uplift and I need an uplift to deal
There are few songs all the people can sing along one song
Come along and sing it for real
Ooooh

Hey you
I gotta tell you my long time friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
And the good times that we spent

Hey you
You're my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I'm sayin'
And we've just begun
Uuuuh

As I wander around, town to town
Lost and found
When so many others come and go
(come and go)
The sweetness (sweetness)
Pulls me through

Hey you
I gotta tell you my long time friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
And the good times that we spent

Hey you
You're my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I'm sayin'
And we've just begun

Hey you
You never turned your back on me
When I gave up on myself
Hey you
You never turned your back on me
When I gave up on myself

Hey you
What would the world be like?
Without you around
Music
You're my constant companion
oooooh 


  
"It's Alright"

Stay with me
Here with me
Right in this instance
Not in the distance

When your head is off in future time
That's the place when things get out of line
Taking in this moment
You time is so well-spent

It's alright
Wherever you are right now
It's alright
That's where you're supposed to be now

Stay with me
Here with me
Right in this instance
Not in the distance

Standing at a crossroad
I was at a loss those
temporary moments
Pleasures that are stolen
Here in the present
You're time is so well-spent

It's alright
Wherever you are right now
I tell you, it's alright
That's where you're supposed to be now
That's where you're supposed to be now

A song, one song, could end a war, could end a war
(Around we go, around we go...)
A song, one song, could end a war, could end a war

It's alright
Wherever you are right now
I tell you, it's alright
That's where you're supposed to be now

It's alright
Wherever you are right now
I tell you, it's alright
That's where you're supposed to be now
That's where you're supposed to be now




"Mix It Up"

You take a little bit of me
And a whole lot of you
Add it up together
And here's what you're gonna do
You gotta mix it up quick
And it'll blow up on this spot
I got a tell ya' that the place is getting hot

Now mix it up
Uh just mix it up
What the sum of all the parts
When you add it up
Make much more than what you had
I tell you what
It's like mad
The baddest thing that you've ever had, uh

I was never too good at math anyway
But when you add it up it comes out more I have to say
A lot of people looking for what you and me have found
And now it seems no one's around, uh

A little bit of me
And a whole lot of you
Add it up together
And here's what you're gonna do
You gotta mix it up quick
And it'll blow up on this spot
I got a tell ya' that the place is getting hot

Now mix it up
Uh just mix it up
What the sum of all the parts
When you add it up
Make much more than what you had
I tell you what
It's like mad
The baddest thing that you've ever had

We're just two misfits
That no one else gets
Everyone else in the place
Became a silhouette
Soon as there was you
It all comes in view
On my guitar
I see those sparks
When we have those conversations in the dark

I was never too good at math anyway
But when you add it up it comes out more I have to say
A lot of people looking for what you and me have found
And now it seems no one's around

A little bit of me
And a whole lot of you
Add it up together
And here's what you're gonna do
You gotta mix it up quick
And it'll blow up on this spot
I got a tell ya' that the place is getting hot

Now mix it up
Uh just mix it up

We're just two misfits
That no one else gets
Everyone else in the place
Became a silhouette
Soon as there was you
It all comes in view
On my guitar
I see those sparks
When we have those conversations in the dark 




"Golden Sunlight"

Hand over hand
I crawl back to land
There is no retreat
That option's far and away
I have to be brave
But I always did crave
The golden sunlight
It's been about me
But I'm setting that free
For golden sunlight, oh

There's a door open to walk through
All I want is just beyond
What if I could let my guard down
Into freedom, on and on

Somehow it came out
When I can't talk about
Someone to help me
As free as I wanna be
I cannot erase
But you helped me face
The songs and the flowers
At last perception
Of my self deception
The songs and the flowers, oh

There's a door open to walk through
All I want is just beyond
What if I could let my guard down
Into freedom, on and on

What if I could just let my guard down
What if I could live wide open, yeah
What if I could just let my guard down
And go beyond into the great unknown

Sweetheart, I've been bothered
A golden sun lit path
I've been after
Grass hills, wild flowers
Sharp road trails
For a daughter
I want to be her father
I want to hear her laughter
Under meteor showers
The dogs will howl at the midnight hour

There's a door open to walk through
All I want is just beyond
What if I could let my guard down
Into freedom, on and on

What if I could just let my guard down
What if I could live wide open, yeah
What if I could just let my guard down
And go beyond into the great unknown




"India Ink"

I write your name on my arm with India ink
Baby I told you once before it's not what you think
I drink it in with a sip
But I really want to chug
You know I take what I can get
Give me a dub, now

So good, so good
Come on now, I wish you would
Anytime I get together
Get to feeling like I could

I write your name on my arm with India ink
Baby I told you once before it's not what you think
I drink it in with a sip
But I really want to chug
You know I take what I can get
Give me a dub, now

So good, so good
Come on now, I wish you would
Anytime I get together
Get to feeling like I could

Woah are you with me
Woah are you with me
Woah is that the best you can give me
Woah are you with me

I write your name on my arm with India ink
Baby I told you once before it's not what you think
I drink it in with a sip
But I really want to chug
You know I take what I can get
Give me a dub, now

You're even cuter
When you get crossed
Just stamp on your foot
And try to be the boss

I write your name on my arm with India Ink
I'm hanging on every word cause the way that you think
Yes every misstep well it led me to you
I'll do what I got to do to see it through

If you see a shooting star
Celebrate with a kiss
Won't have to wait far
When no one will ever miss

Woah are you with me
Woah are you with me
Woah is that the best you can give me
Woah are you with me

I'd carve my name on my arm
But you'd be alarmed
That I did it
I admit it
A big swing and a miss
So I'll keep my distance
Back in it
In a minute

Woah are you with me
Woah are you with me
Woah is that the best you can give me
Woah are you with me

Woah are you with me (name on my arm with India ink)
Woah are you with me (told you once before it's not what you think)
Woah is that the best you can give me
Woah are you with me
(Name on my arm with India ink, baby I told you once before it's) 

  

"Daisy Cutter"

I tried to move with a cool hand
It didn't go as I planned
Im full of rookie maneuvers
And gestures meant to be grand

Ive pulled a bag of tricks one after the other
I asked if you heard of my band
So misguided the sincere approach never tried it once
You said to just drop the game flat
Why didn't I think of that

[Chorus]
My daisy you make me go crazy
Forever amaze me
Now let's let the day go lazy
My daisy you know what im after
Your musical laughter
A more beautiful disaster

I cant believe what you create
When you let your heart detonate
You let your mind go with one blast in another
And what comes next I will await, hmmm
Tell me again the one about the time
We first got together and you blew my mind
I find my mind in the gutter
When I think of my daisy cutter

[Chorus]
My daisy you make me go crazy
Forever amaze me
Now let's let the day go lazy
My daisy you know what im after
Your musical laughter
A more beautiful disaster

Its four months now
Since you crashed into my life (to my life)
You leave a path of delightful destruction
Your quite the throng, my daisy

Hoos hoos

Just clap your hands
Get down to the beat
Just clap your hands
Just clap your hands to the beat

[Chorus]
Daisy you make me go crazy
Forever amaze me
Now let's let the day go lazy
My daisy you know what im after
Your musical laughter
A more beautiful disaster

My daisy, you know what im after
You make my heart beat so much faster
My daisy, you know you drive me crazy
You just blow me away, my daisy



"Too Much Too Fast"

Rifling through the pictures of you
I can finally tell
They develop well
The tale I see
It tells my favorite story
Of friction and glory

Breaking the cast
Repeating the past
It's not written
That's all just fiction
No, who says it's written in stone?

It's been a long time
Oh, such a long time
Finding my way all back out, woah
Somehow you stood by
Beyond when you should die
I'm amazed at how things have turned out

What is revealed?
What is concealed?
It makes all the difference
Say what you will
We unreeled that human web
Just to see how it feels?

Too much too fast
For the moment to last
I tumbled to you
While stumbling through
How do I get my head off of the tracks
Listening for a train, ah
Cause that's just no way to live
I got so much love to give
Much too fast, oh

Out of the blue
It all comes in view
You never win
If you don't go all in
The perfect hand
Can go just as you planned
I don't understand

Began right on track
Slipped through the cracks
We were two of a kind
Who seemed destined to find
We unreeled that human web
Just to see how it feels?

Too much too fast
For the moment to last
I tumbled to you
While stumbling through
How do I get my head off of the tracks
Listening for a train, ah
Cause that's just no way to live
I got so much love to give
Much too fast, oh

So much love to give
Too much too fast
So much love to give
Too much too fast
Got so much love to give
Too much too fast
So much love to give
Too much too fast



"Never Ending Summer"

I tell you what I like
This moment of unity
When there's no distance
In between you and me
I got to stop
When it becomes us and them
Need an enemy for ego to win

These are the good ole days
I don't care what they have to say
These are the good ole days
All together now

So tell me can this all be real
Find it so bizarre
Can this all be real
Hold them fingers up
Finding to a dance to be a coincidence
I don't think you got to let go of common sense
Can this all be real
Right now

Summer
Never ending summer
That's our time
We do it all the time
From Tokyo Bay to the Little Five Points
Keep on blazing a trail
Keep on rocking the joints
Summer
Here we go

Hanging out with my friends
We're traveling
Out and about
Good times that we're having it's
Harmonic bliss when we all are synchronized
Something got to see with your eyes

These are the good ole days
I don't care what they have to say
These are the good ole days
All together now

So tell me can this all be real
Find it so bizarre
Can this all be real
Hold them fingers up
Finding to a dance to be a coincidence
I don't think you got to let go of common sense
Can this all be real
Right now

Summer
Never ending summer
That's our time
We do it all the time
From Tokyo Bay to the Little Five Points
Keep on blazing a trail
Keep on rocking the joints
Summer
Here we go

Summer
Never ending summer
That's our time
We do it all the time
From Tokyo Bay to the Little Five Points
Keep on blazing a trail
Keep on rocking the joints
Summer
Here we go

Summer
Never ending summer
That's our time
We do it all the time
Summer
Never ending summer
That's our time
Here we go 



"Two Drops In The Ocean"

Thinking of you
It all comes in view
I believe we came from the same cloud
Two drops in the ocean
Tell me again
The story of when we..
..we will be together one day..

We're two of a kind
Forever we've been combined
Though the current will pull us apart
Two drops in the ocean
You are part of me
The other side of the sea
And we will be together one day..

Hey hey
What can I say?
I swim your way
Though the tide pull us away
I ask you
What you gonna do?
Oceans apart
But I know no one else will do
Two drops in the ocean
Just go with the motion dear

We'll meet again
From two rivers that dealt on two shore
Two drops in the ocean

Fall into me
Dissolve in the sea
The boundaries between, they are nothing
But love we have, the only real thing..yeah

There is a stone wall
Around your heart
Nothin left now to do but to start
Chippin away
Day by day
Until we see it break apart
Hear me talkin 'bout
Let it be known, it can be done
Bit by bit and one by one
If the two of us try from both the two sides
Until we see the sun
Your phenomenal

Two drops in the ocean
Just go with the motion..

A lot of fish in the sea..
..not for me
You're somethin' of a different kind
The rest evaporate, but you stay in my mind

There is a stone wall
Around your heart
Nothin left now to do but to start
Chippin away
Day by day
Until we see it break apart
Hear me talkin 'bout
Let it be known, it can be done
Bit by bit and one by one
If the two of us try
From both the two sides
Until we see the sun
Your phenomenal

Hey hey
What can I say?
I swim your way
Though the tide pull us away
I ask you
What you gonna do?
Oceans apart
But I know no one else will do
Two drops in the ocean
Just go with the motion
Two drops in the ocean dear..



"Something Out Of Nothing"

We are the wind and the sea
Sun reflected you to me
We are the moon and the stars
Darkness hiding mystical heart
We have just begun
The dreams, the nightmares of everyone
We are mysterious things
Eternal, perpetual, and ending
We are the yin and the yang
The ending, the middle, and the big bang
We are the zero and one
The desert, the voice, and the ocean

I've one conclusion
It's not illusion
But it's creativity
The supernatural thing that happens between you and me, yeah

"Jackpot"

Jackpot, uh split shot
I'm in line doing fine
This snapper I've got the bounty
Blessed with the amount, we
Never guess, the best is yet to come
Came to rock the fucking block
If you don't come new
Then you might get dropped
I think it's strange
The thing's the same, carry on
Season's deranged
Like the one we call will be gone

With the touch of my wand
You are my God, you're my guardian
I hit the jackpot, I'm the lucky one
My fortune endless, never coming undone, uh
Moving, I'm a nomad
Another girl's voice is the noises rad
My treasure is soul, aren't you glad
I get psychedelic with a pen and a pad

Rooming up in NO it's about that critical
Find it difficult to be so analytical
I'm filled with hope
The rope it won't hang you
Sit your ass down and come in rangoon
Right about now it's about that time
You know I crack the coconut and I twist up the lime
I've been on the road like a Seminole warrior
Passing up the tales like the one they wrote the story for

Woo
Everybody jump

What are the chances
The odds must be enhanced
It's a wild card that you threw
Of all the places to end up
It amazes me
After all we've been through

Jackpot
All the people say woah
Jackpot
Let me hear you say woah
Jackpot
Uh, what, woah
Give 'em what you got 'til you hit that spot
Woah

We hit the jackpot
The lotto, lucky dot
So the path that we tread
We pave the bars of gold
Now we got it
How we bought it
Sweating from stage to stage
A lot of it
And if we won the chance to dance
And do it all again
We wouldn't change a thing
There is no other end
The pinnacle we reached
We knew it was possible
How we got here
Overcoming obstacles

Right about now it's about that time
You know I crack the coconut and I twist up the lime
I've been on the road like a Seminole warrior
Passing up the tales like the one they wrote the story for
Reside West Coast from the Mid West
Take what you like and fuck all the rest, man
We only enter in one contest
That we made up ourselves
That's to be the 311'est

Woo
Everybody jump

What are the chances
The odds must be enhanced
It's a wild card that you threw
Of all the places to end up
It amazes me
After all we've been through

"My Heart Sings"

4 A.M. this hotel room and I think of you
Not in anger, but in danger of calling you
My mind's a long, long way from it was dead
And now the good times just keep drifting back in, woah

Breathe it on out the end will come so freely
You'll figure it out the answer will come so clearly dear
Let it all go cause we can't know just what will be
Hard it is to set you free
It's so much easier that way

My heart sings when I think of you
That is what you do
A melody that will settle me
That is just the thought of you
My heart sings and it's time you knew, yeah
My heart sings

I'm not made of stone, I'm only flesh and bone
I'm half crazy and amazed that you are alone
Let's sit on the shore, watch the ocean breathe (sit and watch the ocean breathe)
It's getting dark but we both don't want to leave, woah

Breathe it on out the end will come so freely
You'll figure it out the answer will come so clearly dear
Let it all go cause we can't know just what will be
Hard it is to set you free
It's so much easier that way

My heart sings when I think of you
That is what you do
A melody that will settle me
That is just the thought of you
My heart sings and it's time you knew, yeah
My heart sings
My heart sings

Woah, woah, woah

My heart sings, my heart sings when I think of you, yeah
You wake up me when I'm lost at sea
Bring me back to you, yeah
We can know just what we'll be
What the future brings
But my heart sings
My heart sings
My heart sings 




"I Like The Way"

I like the way you keep it from me, woah
I like the way you move in front of me, yeah
Just enough contact to make me come back
So many other girls just make my mind slack
And I like the way you give it to me, yeah

You're in front, I'm behind
Walking down a corridor
The way you're moving yourself
That makes me want you more

I like the way you keep it from me, yeah

Baby, are we ready
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can we rock steady
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, are we ready
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can we rock steady
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I like the way you keep it from me, woah
I like the way you move in front of me, yeah
Just enough contact to make me come back
So many other girls just make my mind slack
And I like the way you give it to me, yeah

Tight jeans and the seams
Snake around your body type
The way they hug, the way they snug
The way they fit you right

I like the way you keep it from me, yeah

Baby, are we ready
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can we rock steady
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, are we ready
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (it's just enough contact to make me come back)
Can we rock steady
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (so many other girls just make my mind slack)

Our rods and cones have a mind of their own
They keep on staring at you and want to get you alone
You got that sun dress mess yes that's the best
With the flower two piece underneath so fresh
I get a head full of bee's when you're in the vicinity
I cannot stop but thinking 'bout infinity
I get a thrill, you kill me with vernaculars
Speak your mind at fine in kind is spectacular

I asked her if she
Would come away with me
She said are you crazy
I said I must be
Now you know
Now we both know
I guess you're right we should just move it slow
I was hooked on a feeling
You were so right to put on the brakes
That's how I know you got what it takes, uh

I like the way you keep it from me, woah
I like the way you move in front of me, yeah
Just enough contact to make me come back
So many other girls just make my mind slack
And I like the way you give it to me, yeah

Baby, are we ready
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (it's just enough contact to make me come back)
Can we rock steady
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (so many other girls just make my mind slack)
Baby, are we ready
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (it's just enough contact to make me come back)
Can we rock steady
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (so many other girls just make my mind slack) 




"Get Down"

I got this great idea about why I got stuck in reverse
I was so out of control it just got worse
I hope you got more sense than I, side step the curse
I don't know which came first
In the spiral threatening me, my survival
It's come, time to get down

It's time to get down
Boots to the ground
Know we don't stop 'til they hear the bell sound
Keep your head up
Cause the truth just cut
No quick fix when I'm caught in a rut
What I got to do to get right size
Think I'm despised when I look through the eyes
Of another
Not mine to discover
What the next man think is none of my fucking business

And then I say what is this
Illusion I can't fix it
You name it, hey
The story stays the same
Any trouble you can name
Just goes straight into accepted
You name it, hey

It's time to get down
To the ground
So simple yet profound
In the now
Is why we're here
Inspiration
I've been waiting all my life
I'm set free, it's happened
I won't look back and think twice
It's how it's meant to be
Something's happened
A sudden slap in the right place
In my face, I thank you
You always came through for me
It's how it's meant to be

Gonna get down because I can't stay high
All of the time, cause I see the sign
So I re-align with an open mind
Adamant and circumvent
I get by every night and day
Get by with my comfort way
An Open space to an open way
I just unwind, I just unwind

And then I say what is this
Illusion I can't fix it
You name it, hey
The story stays the same
Any trouble you can name
Just goes straight into accepted
You name it, hey

It's time to get down
To the ground
So simple yet profound
In the now
Is why we're here

Inspiration
I've been waiting all my life
I'm set free, it's happened
I won't look back and think twice
It's how it's meant to be
Something's happened
A sudden slap in the right place
In my face, I thank you
You always came through for me
It's how it's meant to be 

  

"How Long Has It Been"

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?


"Sun Come Through"

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


  
UNIVERSAL PULSE

"Time Bomb"

Ticking like a time bomb, where did you come from
Nowhere that you can run, that is all gone
Your eyes are getting salty, it’s not my fault
He’s gonna need assistance, that’s the difference

Boom vato loco stepped in the room
Soon all your homies will be singing this tune
Step back pinche culero cuz we’re gonna explode
We got the place surrounded don’t try and be a hero

Bet you didn’t think that we thought of that
Came up with that shit way back
Innovation ruling that nation
The dancehall’s back but you know about that

Let me introduce you to the excitable crew
This is just how we do
Tickin like a time bomb
Watch, we go off
Let me introduce you to the excitable crew
This is just how we do
Tickin like a time bomb
Watch, we go off

Aye yai yai yeah you know how we roll
No se bronca, no yo pedo
You know, you know
We’ve been down

Well, I’m rocking on the mic saying things that you like so
We won’t let you down we are the system of sound
The excitable cew, we do this with you
The innovator came to stay so what you gonna do

This is what we want and I say
This is what we need
Go, go, go back in memory to that tiny baby
Universal heart and pulse never stops beating sing

Let me introduce you to the excitable crew
This is just how we do
Tickin like a time bomb
Watch, we go off
Let me introduce you to the excitable crew
This is just how we do
Tickin like a time bomb
Watch, we go off

I remember back in the day
We would work hard, getting down our parts
There was no crew me and you
Planning out what to do
Work hard play hard getting down our parts
I remember back in the day

Let me introduce you
To the excitable crew
This is just how we do
Ticking like a time bomb
Watch we go off
Let me introduce you
To the excitable crew
This is just how we do
Ticking like a time bomb
Watch we go off 




"Wild Nights"

I had to find out
Figure it for myself
Now I have no doubt
What it looks like in hell
Nights of sweet mischief
I lifted quite a few
Let’s light the fuse quick
And see just what this thing can do

Let’s just get crazy with it
Once again give it a spin my friend
We’re gonna test the limits

Where would we be
Without the wild nights
Without the lows and highs
Failing to get it right
Where would we be
Without the wild nights
Barely getting by
The days of getting high

Spinnin’ with the rhythm in this world will bring
DJ’s on Friday nights hungover mornings
I wanna live a little
And no it’s not a riddle
Your attention yeah
I want in the middle
Take it up and we hit the stage
Wrecking ball effect is how we rage
Pay the price for months and days
Once in the clouds now it’s just haze

Let’s just get crazy with it
Once again give it a spin my friend
We’re gonna test the limits

Where would we be
Without the wild nights
Without the lows and highs
Failing to get it right
Where would we be
Without the wild nights
Barely getting by
The days of getting high

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Where would we be
Without the wild nights
Without the lows and highs
Failing to get it right
Where would we be
Without the wild nights
Barely getting by
The days of getting high

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh





"Sunset In July"

Well I can show you how it is done
There's no competitors
Time to say goodbye to the sun
It takes a better turn
Wake up, it's not your typical rehash
Something unpredictable
Do you really know that?
I will remember this one
I'm just on pure momentum
Rock out and break up your own suppression
I like to see you having fun
In the setting sun

Sunset in July
Rockers by my side and time is flying by
Ba da dop dop da dee-yah
Watching you dancing and having the time of your life
And it's getting me high
Time is flying by
Whoa oh-oh-oh

January, February, March into May
Here's June with a tune just to brighten my day
Sunsetting in July I'm gonna fade 'em away
Time is sliding, time is sliding on, hear what I say, whoa!
If you believe that, believe that
Back-up, back-up, you need that, need that
Space & time and time & space is my way
I'm forever in existence, I'm forever okay

Sunset in July
Rockers by my side and time is flying by
Ba da dop dop da dee-yah
Watching you dancing and having the time of your life
And it's getting me high
Time is flying by
Whoa oh-oh-oh

The time of our lives
Here, I was happy
The days flying by
Come closer to me
I could never knock out all the things that you given
Throughout the multiverse, 'bout anything could be true
Might as well make up anything to believe in
It's made inside of you

Sunset in July
Rockers by my side and time is flying by
Ba da dop dop da dee-yah
Watching you dancing and having the time of your life
And it's getting me high
Time is flying by
Whoa-oh-oh
Watching you dancing and having the time of your life
And it's getting me high
Time is flying by
Whoa oh-oh-oh 


  
"Trouble"

Let me tell ya little story
About a kid from the middle
Had my mind set on glory
Whatever I had to give
I had no anchor to keep me from forever drifting
Caught up in danger somehow I have survived

I was always looking for trouble, trouble, it always followed me
I would always have to do a double, a double cuz one just ain’t enough
Of all the liquor and enough of pharmaceuticals
All at once I up and pulled the bamboo out my cuticles
The bullshit the trouble was coming from me, honestly

I got a mind full of weapons
In the battle of me versus myself
And everything that I kept in
I’m finding the courage to tell
The sweetest repose comes in the strangest of places
I never supposed clarity would find me

I was always looking for trouble, trouble, it always followed me
I would always have to do a double, a double cuz one just ain’t enough
Of all the liquor and enough of pharmaceuticals
All at once I up and pulled the bamboo out my cuticles
The bullshit the trouble was coming from me, honestly

Point of contention, pain will both motivate and
Lead to you change, whoa
It’s been said before, I’ll say it again
You only will get, one spin oh-oh

I was always looking for trouble, trouble, it always followed me
I would always have to do a double, a double cuz one just ain’t enough
Of all the liquor and enough of pharmaceuticals
All at once I up and pulled the bamboo out my cuticles
The bullshit the trouble was coming from me, honestly 




"Count Me In"

I had a tough time getting off the dime
Before I met you couldn’t make up my mind
I was on and off again
I’d say we’d benefit if we’re some kind of friends

Count me in I’ve made a decision
Count me in if you’re in, I’m in
I know what you’re thinking and you know I’m with you
Count me in if you do, I do

Many years together tells me something is right
Wake up every morning, the feeling is nice
We’re not living the dream, we’re living the life
Holdin’ to the source, we’re holding it tight
Guarding the flame before it goes out
And it will go out, that is not doubt
The cycle of everything is what it’s about
Ready now I’m about to

Count me in I’ve made a decision
Count me in if you’re in, I’m in
I know what you’re thinking and you know I’m with you
Count me in if you do, I do

You know they try to keep me just living in a box
But the second I try got ideas for blocks
Running down the concept cause everything counts
Give me a pen and pad and I trounce, ooh

We watch the moon across the sky
And my thinking is gone but I don’t know why
Til the moon turns to blood
You and me will go on
We can make war or we can make love
Til I figure out how you know what I’m thinking of
You are under my skin

Count me in I’ve made a decision
Count me in if you’re in, I’m in
I know what you’re thinking and you know I’m with you
Count me in if you do, I do
I know what you’re thinking and you know I’m with you
Count me in if you do, I do 

  

"Rock On"

You’re wasted kept it on the tip of your tongue, you can taste it
Never thought you play with a gun but
It’s pleasing, at least you can feel something
The burning of your flesh hits your nose now you’re bumping

When you are dealing back spinning wheels and
Doin’ that grind all of the time
Someone will getcha, know they’ll out betcha
Swipe away your dime find your bottom line

You’re cruisin’ don’t even care about what your losing
You’re using anything that comes your way here today
Gone tomorrow all about beg, steal and borrow
Can’t stop, won’t stop ’til there’s nothing left but sorrow
You’re cruisin’ don’t even care about what your losing
You’re using anything that comes your way here today
Gone tomorrow all about beg, steal and borrow
Can’t stop, won’t stop ’til there’s nothing left but sorrow

The palace became a prison, the phoenix within you risen
Shot by your own device you paid the price so you give in
To the pity party, party of one, no one shows up
Another sip of poison slow death fills your cup

Your heads wrecked from the neck down it’s out of your hands
Your arms feel tied down and you can’t understand
When you try to stand up your legs have other plans
Oh man, damn, you can’t get out of this jam

You’re cruisin’ don’t even care about what your losing
You’re using anything that comes your way here today
Gone tomorrow all about beg, steal and borrow
Can’t stop, won’t stop ’til there’s nothing left but sorrow
You’re cruisin’ don’t even care about what your losing
You’re using anything that comes your way here today
Gone tomorrow all about beg, steal and borrow
Can’t stop, won’t stop ’til there’s nothing left but sorrow


  
"Weightless"

It's all kinda starting to make sense, the difference
Between us and them, from the beginning
We're looking for such different things, it is insane
But we wouldn't want to be the same

We are beyond supposed separations
All of those are just our creations
Caught up in the days of mistaking this
Everyone of us is weightless

So weightless, weightless
All weightless, weightless
We're all weightless, weightless
Everyone of us is weightless
Everyone of us is weightless

A summer night and the starlight
That slowly does appear
My god it's been gone for all these years
And yet it really still is here

We are beyond supposed separations
All of those are just our creations
Caught up in the days of mistaking this
Everyone of us is weightless

So weightless, weightless
All weightless, weightless
We're all weightless, weightless
Everyone of us is weightless

Gotta get away, now make it somehow
Zero gravity, no pull has got me
Hurtling through space, all time is misplaced
We're all weightless in this place
Only matter's if you are here with us
Because the route we take is so circuitous
We are floating now, there's no pull here in space
We're all weightless hey

It's all kinda starting to make sense, the difference
Between us and them, from the beginning
We're looking for such different things, it is insane
Everyone of us is weightless

So weightless, weightless
All weightless, weightless
We're all weightless, weightless
Everyone of us is weightless

  

"And A Ways To Go"

Searching for something
A million miles and a ways to go
Ending up wondering
Moments I think I know
The answer seems to allude me

Searching for something
A million miles and a ways to go
Sifting through nothing
Liquid you cannot hold
Destination nowhere ooh
Destination nowhere ooh-ooh

Bro I had a dream man it was buried in lore
That I was sailing on the seas and I was out to explore
And it was lucid in a way homey I didn’t need oars uh-uh
I had a feeling that I’d been there before yo
I hit shore it was shrouded in mist
And in the distance coming in view a primordial forest
A people then approached waving their hands
They were speaking in a tongue I could not understand
They led me though at last to a beautiful fire
And it deepened in a way that I forgot I admired
What emerged was more than the wholeness within
I’d seen the men who had been me the beasts I had been

Searching for something
A million miles and a ways to go
Sifting through nothing
The sand you cannot hold
Destination nowhere ooh
Destination nowhere ooh-ooh

A shaman held a rattle that he started to shake
Anxiety was filling me and was this all a mistake
An elder fell to the ground marking the dirt
He was drawing up a map defining sky and the earth
He pointed to the east, north, west, and the south
And then he pointed to the heavens and he started to shout
The women in the front at once began to chant
While the men beat on drums and that elder man danced

Come on yeah it’ll be alright and we’re gonna take a ride
I don’t know if we’ll come back
Come on yeah it’ll be alright and we’re gonna take a ride
I don’t know if we’ll come back
Come on yeah it’ll be alright and we’re gonna take a ride
I don’t know if we’ll come back
Come on yeah it’ll be alright and we’re gonna take a ride
I don’t know if we’ll come back
