311 Album

(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) 

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 joins our back, he must be arthritic
Tim is from the '70s and so we live it
SA has the wisdom of a Noble Laureate
I'm down for our days of glory and
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
because now payback's our motherfuckin' mission
to the sharp ass rocks slippin' on us but we rock
It comes to writing on us derision
sendin' you a voice, now sendin' you a vision
and those who fought me say they taught me
everything I know, I go aww, when I hear that
that chit and that chat, bullshit!

In your face, that's right
and it feels so good
in your face, yeah, it feels so good
take it to 'em bro, throw down, now say

Settin' forth a course I'm really wiggin' out
In my dome I roam, no time to doubt
fucked up you right there while I was rhymin'
now you're sulking in the corner, a baby crying
hittin' up now we feelin' to rock Mars
fuckin' up the shit, now their heads bob
we ain't new to jack swing, the groove and that
we got crazy factiffs and we all that
I don't often rock and I'm a laureate
I don't pull the punch you know I'm throwin' it
freestyles my style on the mic and flex
you're stalkin' the mind of a punk that's next

I get retarted now that I started you know
a condition which I keep close together
like the kind buds you know my scene
my team thinks I sing supreme
but you, the weasel
try to bring us down but in reality
it make you look like a clown
too bad cause we'll be sittin' in the sun
and choose a rocky ass fast ball

In your face, that's right
and it feels so good, choose a lock y'all
In your face, yeah, it feels so good
yo P-Nut, beat that thing

Won't you warm the mic Nicholas
can't get 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, stage diving
thriving, striving, for a better day or say
beat back by flesh shattered doors
braggin' 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
you know, you know I do it daily
and like it but that's my style, yeah, here I go

In your face, and down your throat,
and it feels so good, fraid so fuck it up y'all
in your face, and down your throat
and it feels so good, that's all

Passin' the kind buds, kickin' back in the sand in the sun
to be alive is lovin', where the shore meets the sea,
man I'm hummin', I'm hummin
i'm free (free) as I stare at the sea (sea)
and I'm not comin' down (down)
the world is yours once you have found (found)
the good is to share, which is elsewhere
the beauty of green is where light is now broken
by what it touches
remembering what you once had told me hit home
and hasn't it always been so
i'm free (free) as I stare at the sea (sea)
and I'm not comin' down (down)
the world is yours once you have found (found)
the good is to share, which is elsewhere

Like I said before I'll say it once more
knew you would make me feel so good
wanna do you right
can't get enough, this is the stuff
life's about and it trips me out
gonna do you right, (I will do you right)

Bright mornings, days when I want so much
I want nothing, just this life and no more
I'll come within this world there's only one for me
she's waiting, I'll soon come
i'm free (free) as I stare at the sea (sea)
and I'm not comin' down (down)
the world is yours once you have found (found)
the good is to share, which is elsewhere

Like I said before I'll say it once more
knew you would make me feel so good
wanna do you right
can't get enough, this is the stuff
life's about and it trips me out
gonna do you, do you, do you, do you, do you

Free from the burn, the burnin' of spite and
free from the burn, the burning of the light
no buzz hack, no buzz hack, no buzz hack, no buzz hack
swing to the thing you bring, check it out
how could you be so good to me,
how could you be so good to me
I want to be worth, want to be worth
buzz hack, hack hack, buzz, yeah
swing to the thing you bring, check it out.

Like I said before I'll say it once more
knew you would make me feel so good
wanna do you right
can't get enough, this is the stuff
life's about and it trips me out
gonna do you right (I will do you right) 

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 

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 

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 it
you have asked and so you shall receive it
in the ear victory draws near
but no fear my dear I'll be here another year, 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 and your face know your place come on like
word they come like a herd but they said
we'd drop like a lead zeppelin in your face
but that's nothin' home team I ain't got to my ace in the 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 our family stoppin' and goin' and lyin' and trying'
my brain is on fire it feels like I'm flying through space
yes doing my best but it'll get better this much I confess
oh God I can't believe it but when this era's through
I'll say that's it
edification will take place
pull up the reigns and get out of the race
my bros are down for the Unity,
311 is down for the Unity
unanimity of the Unity, that's right

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 

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 

Rollin' windows down kickback trollen
I'm 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 trollen
just lookin' for some trouble and we be rollin'

Now I'm a tell a tale to you straight, gonna tell you a story
it's not a fairy tale and it gets a little glory
it happened one night when Tequila was flowin
we were walkin' to my car, unaware unknowin'
I stepped up crossed the the street in no hurry
and what happens next it gets a little blurry
this chump nearly hits me in a green 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 yet 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 trollen
can't say it wasn't fun in those days of rollin'
rollin'
rollin' 

(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

(ai-yi-yi)
(ai-yi-yi)

I've opened up my mind
so you can step inside
you could expect to find
a scenic rhyme

Pointyhead pizzeria perfect penetration
mezcal cuts off my brain communication
belligerence, lost of my intelligence
talkin mess like shut up and listen to me
because cuttin' through the crap is my specialty
like a bomb I'm droppin yes a ton a lead
you're tryin' to figure out the last thing I said
I'm a Redwood, I love to be a tree yes I'm a Druid
my words they're flowin' out like a fluid
never give in never conform
I'll be bustin out rhymes in a triplet form

Right now
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 all right) now we're in a different state

(ai-yi-yi)
(ai-yi-yi)

I've opened up my mind
so you can step inside
you could expect to find
a scenic rhyme

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
I'm supposed to be and I am, damn 

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

Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby
Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby

I feel good
yo bad self

Well, I am the Hexum, call me Nick
I live by the code of cosmic
I've come to say, we're here to stay
Utopian way we'll play today, 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

Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby
Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby

Make it, make it like this
(??)

Witness this, yo the pissed lyricist
in your face celebratin' a brand new race
we know colors are just brothers and some others
thrive on attention but they failed to mention
the consequence of no conscience
you damn fool, I'll school you in the new school
now speakin on a round, step back mother fucker, I'ma goin' to town

Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby
Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby

I feel good
break it down

I got one more rhyme
yes, the verbs I got
they hit that spot
the crowd is freakin'
and bro I'm peekin'
when I'm on stage, you're havin' a fit
but without my brothers, baby, I ain't shit, lets go

Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby
Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby

Make it, make it like this
gimme one
