[Verse 1: Doug "SA" Martinez]

Sound boy proceed to blast into the galaxy, oh-oh

Go back, rocket man, into the sky, you'll see, oh-oh

Hear it all the time, come back rewind, aliens are waiting up in the sky

Sound boy proceed to blast into the galaxy, oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus 1: Doug "SA" Martinez, Nick Hexum]

Sound boy when you come 'round (Come 'round)

Sound boy won't you stay (Hey)

No one gonna harm you (Harm you, harm you, harm you)

They all want you to play


[Verse 2: Nick Hexum]

I watch the birds of prey that hunt the canyon below my house

They're lookin' for a meal like a lizard or a mouse

I wonder if they appreciate the setting like me

To control your own direction, choose to be free, and

I reserve the right to be as trite as I want

And you can lick but don't bite I toss you here to Vermont

I kick it lickity split and hand it to the man in the tan van

And, and as for you and your crew, I don't hate you


[Pre-Chorus 2: Nick Hexum]

Peace is my priority 'cause Marley said for sure-ity

And what do you think I'm doin'? I'm not only here for screwin'

Yo and if it's sore, take care of it, perhaps from too much stucking

But anytime you're aware of it then keep on fucking

[Chorus: Nick Hexum, Doug "SA" Martinez]

You know we cool, a-when we come 'bout

(Isn't that random? Ah-ah)

Here, so clear, no fear, we're in your ear

You know we people, a-get ready

(Isn't that random? [?])

For comes, picked up, so what

You know sound boy, it's gonna rock you, oh

(Isn't that random? Ah-ah)

Picked clear, so dear, we're in your ear

You know, people, rock steady, hey!

(Isn't that random?)

[Verse 3: Doug "SA" Martinez with Nick Hexum]

To be the one who has it all is not that hard

And I'll be that type of dude in a funky car

I dream of a suit that'll fit my rhyme

When I recognize my girl from a former life

I love it when the only sound that I hear is your infectious laughter

I will hear you again in eight hundred years if I'm still lucky


[Pre-Chorus 3: Nick Hexum]

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

It's beginning to look like summer and I'm down with No Doubt, swing

[Chorus: Nick Hexum, Doug "SA" Martinez]

You know we cool, a-when we come 'bout

(Isn't that random? Ah-ah)

Make clear, no fear, so dear, and we're in your ear

You know people, rock steady

(Isn't that random? [?])

For comes, I picked up, a-so what

You know, sound boy, he's gonna rock you, oh

(Isn't that random? Ah-ah)

Picked clear, so clear, we're in your ear

You know people, rock steady, hey

(Isn't that random?)

[Outro: Nick Hexum, Doug "SA" Martinez, Both]

I break a silly peace for offering, rap weasel then I'm boffering

I'd give you an exclusive on my playlist

The thought and styles I kick are from a random hat pick

That's why most radio will never play this, tell 'em again, uh

Me a rude boy from Omaha, Nebraska (Uh, uh)

Sick as a porno flick yet gold as precious laughter (Uh)

Many don't agree but we can't care about that

'Cause we're never gonna wear the old hat, spoken
