311 Album

Word up, I'm talkin to you
i'm makin dope rhymes, thats what I do
like a madman, you know its bad, man
I slam, a good goddamn

Well I've been burned so goddamn badly
I could just sit and sing the blues
but instead i'll make a fist, yeah
and make my own good news, yeah

Take my advice, yeah
you'll pay the price
to make it funky like this
good god
damn

I drop a syllable like
yo, what else is dissin me
huh, its pissin me off
rock me baby? What?
you dont mean that crap
what the hell, if it sells
damn, youre a sham,
no thank you, ma'am, bitch

Oh, I've been burned badly
I could just sit and sing the blues
but instead I'll make a fist, yeah
and make my own good news, yeah

Take my advice, yeah
you'll pay the price
to make it funky like this
good goddamn
tell you what
all this (?)
Huh

and the nightmare of publicity begins
this is the time to find who are your true friends
I train my brain to be original
build character, aborginal
american music is what I grew in to
to much for (??)
fuck you

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
and some of them whine and some of them bitch
they cannot do it we never switch
we do it for ourselves, we do it for you, boom
if you don't like it well I hope you do 

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 sayin'?

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 and then and then I say
I looked the other way
I changed my point of view
and here's what I do, one time, check it out

This too shall pass
this too shall pass
this too shall pass
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 and sing

fuck it up!

Oh and then and then I say
I looked the other way
I changed my point of view
and here's what I do

This song is past
yeah 

Its good to be alive in the peaceful revolution
an honor to observe the beautiful solution
I tip my hat to we the people in order
to form a more perfect world
this shall come to pass

The beginning of the end
of the ignorance that once could sin
the tyrant to power
his day is done
in the worldwide revolution
yeah, the peaceful revolution

All around this small world
now the people demand to listen
these truths self-evident
philosophical evolution
as the old die out
the young see a better way
human rights guaranteed to all
without regard to race, I say

The beginning of the end
now the people vote, we will not sin
the tyrant to power
his day is done
in the worldwide revolution
in the peaceful revolution

I see the last frontier and the peaceful revolution
world peace is merely a product of social evolution
the conquest lies in accepting different peoples
and thinking right here at home
in the suns kingdom

The beginning of the end
and of the tolerance that once could sin
the tyrant to power
his day is done
in the worldwide revolution
in the peaceful revolution

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

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
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
you all guessing cause I'm tired of laying and
I'm tired of messing around
with all your suckers yes, those stupid mother fuckers
who put down what I do, I stand alone with a groove that's new
like now that you know that the rhymes that I say
are mine alone and I surely dont play
I 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

Right about now I'd like to turn over the mic
over to my mentor SA Martinez

I'm sly, Nicoli, he know why
get this kid high i'm gonna fly
right out of this world and in to the next
with a power (??) over worse than (??)
go on open, i'm poetry in motion
dont joke when you pray
my mind is spoken
the latest, the greatest, of hip-hop persuaders
I find a 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 been's and their stupid ass rambling
promises it's bullshit they 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
perfectly sad if (?) was about
but it's not so I'd frown then I'd give it 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 

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 and

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 and I 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

Yo, 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
psychedelic freak out taco funk frolic
grind fiend roots 'core soul music

Yo, 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, you know 

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 (x4)
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 (x4)

The colors blend down the prism of light, boom
We get chance (??)
said the colors blend down the prism of light, come along
we get chance (??)
we cant say we came from the sun
we cant see, we came from the sun
this is the summer of unity, uh-oh
I riggity (?) 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 (?) will crystal in sight
(??), right
The colors blend down the prism of light, boom
We get chance (??)
said the colors blend down the prism of light, come along
we get chance (??)
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 (x4)
yeah
I said it's the summer of love
my head is clear
and my thoughts are true 

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
catch or fame or credit
nor a big fat bank account with no debit
so just set me straight
cause (??) your peace of mind just cant 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
push it away, yeah
just push it away, push it away
push it away

Oh success, that elusive brainchild of breed
something you want, not need
face it, cause
money cant buy true friendship or trust
and applause will never be any substitute for love
but not me man, check it out

I 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
push it away, yeah
just push it away, push it away
push it away 

(Make it funky like this)

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 (that's lame)
I know it's lame but I haven't got a better one yet, check it out
oh, you guess the rest I'm not the type to fess
I sing this song because I tell you she's the best, you know

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

(Make it funky like this)

Oh, mackadocious she's sweet and precocious
she's the one girl that I just dig
love, yes I'm not above this
you think that's wack then bro you lack
you bore me that macho crap makes me snore, see, me,
I'm all about the females, the women, the jewels of this world
those flowers like that slinky girl

That slinky girl is in my brain
now I'll never be the same
no one can ever see
what that slinky girl means to me

Uh-oh
so I'll just pretend
but I feel like

(All right, break it down)

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, uh 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, oh

(here we go, huh)

That slinky girl is in my brain
now I'll never be the same
no one can ever see
what that slinky girl means to me

(all right, now help me out)

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
(I dont feel nothin)
(here we go) 

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 (??)

It was independence day
I've seen the other side and I say
oh, I've been insane
and I wont never been same

As the raw son sins in glamour
and his greedy and violent rage
stimulate and torment assailants
peace is dead
uneasy moment as the first warrior stirs
(?) 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
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 

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
