[Verse 1: Nick Hexum, Doug "SA" Martinez]
Nod your head to this as a lot of apprentice, some of this
We're standing on the shoulders of giants
Some tyrants, some benevolent to the followers, it's relevant
The rest get bent on lending opinions
I'm ascending to a brand new level
I revel in completion, I like to see deletion
Of a parasite to make the low flight
Fools know rules, but the rest keep bouncing back
With the lack of further adieu, see
As one can deduce, we kick out the jams
Slammin' shit out hard and long
'Cause we got more song, dig, check it
Something you might like now, all-star bound, yeah, you're so sound
Cool as the blue water all around
From a force field flashing somebody is 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 you're into, we are, baby
'Cause music will be comin' out the words we speak
We erect break beats, shatter wax still on the platter
Our shit is badder, we come fly, then we scatter
'Cause we deep and we solid, yeah, we hear ya holler
[Drum Solo]
[Verse 2: Nick Hexum, Doug "SA" Martinez]
Electricity runnin' through is all that feels good
Sometimes the only thing that really ever could
Feed that hunger, I crave it, I love it, I gave it
I shoved it in a battery and saved it for later
A waiter in the Dorothy C. Pavilion in '89
I met some weirdos and had myself a real good time
Downtown L.A. is a soul graveyard
Where you gotta be hard or get jacked
It lacked a certain sense of something, something basic
No karma in the 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, y'all
My mic check is givin' 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
You're slippin', but content because your spirit
And hills are alive with the sound of music
[Outro: Nick Hexum]
People never see the whole trip of life
Grab knowledge, man, and all you do is siph
