[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
