Welcome

Groove as your soul sings Spinnin' all around as we dust a melody Groove as your soul sings Spinnin' all around Welcome to this groove you can move right We gonna take you higher not caught in the quagmire I can't survive on a stupid nine to five I'd rather be poor writing tunes livin' on a commune Kickin' it with my brothers and significant others Life in pursuit of only money we think it's funny The only thing that money it could ever bring to me would be some gifts For my friends follow me now trips for my family The only thing I love is freedom the people around me I need 'em I'd like to build the world a spliff but like I said I said You could never get me interested in dreams of wealth Myself my birthday happens to land on April twelfth wack A Coney Island of the mind it's mine I swipe the sweets strip the beats in the sunshine Loco holmes I stroll because I'm thinking A tone poem alone is love medicine Then the demon spring revolution in my spirit Here it is and I will kill with it Traveling head spinnin' from the medicine Illusions fadin' out and comin' on again Unwind your mind then find entire minutes Abstract the tract of sight day breaking in it Doles out my share of the world ocean and sun Rising with whirling motion I fought kicked and screamed my way to getting born now I feel Warm and I say come on the night won't save anyone Won't you roam we've grown so we can write Again our soul select its own way for the travellin' We're here we're breathing and we wanna keep our blood running So we're gonna keep gunning till the next homecoming I like the boogie to the bang bang boogie say up Jump the boogie to the bang bang come on


Freak Out

Let the games begin if you wanna fuck with me You can't disturb the course of P&C&T&D&Me I'm on a mission to set straight The vice, the curse, the date, the gate relate to this I insist B it's weak to dis see I'm runna up so sucker stick to your 40 How could I give a damn give a damn if you approve what it's about I just freak out Just guess y'all c'mon come back slipped outta Wack as the master laid out the music Death I just say fuck you The void unknown we're thrown through While lost in life's psychedelic trip we take There's another more bizzare we have to make World we have nowhere beyond Take out the Earth the bass is gone At life's end we'll feel the calm How strange we should be here at all. If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doing To all my friends it's not the end The Earth has not swallowed me yet Into whose womb were you woven What kin of your skin dropped you then bodies cloven Light of daybreak blinded next exit The wild darkness forming inside it My day wasn't promised me each death it brings Reminding me we are rumbling through this cursed universe Where death is a birth Think not but what your manifest is worth Giving up a verse the curse occurs a thirst To burst first breaking through the center of the universe Slamming down on the lingo flow so jam to the bumrush single Long ago has become now When you find out there's no break in the rhythm Black anima makes my stamina stand alone disown the cinema Farewell to posing decades dozing coming up the steps of the new Screen rising scenes from the lost world shapes hard to tell Which is which as if drawn by a child, Holmes If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doing To all my friends it's not the end The Earth has not swallowed me yet If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doing This is the heat to flush your face(4) Freak out


Visit

He wouldn't say he cared at all if you asked him You're heading for a fall brother it goes right past him In another world, he's in another place You know the need for speed is just another form of greed But when you're Jones'n your brains are frozen You're not thinkin' about the choices you made you're just rollin' On and on it's anybody's guess Cause no one's at the wheel at the front of that mess, yes The sun's going down for me, it's going down for me He and she are what I need, yes they're what I need But I'm gonna buy a ticket, I'm not gonna even pick it I heard it he said it I heard it but it we but it went something like Visit, I wanna visit the world So now I visit the world With my time on this world Because living when you're hungry is a dong in an alley Now I mind my own business cause I'm rhymin' down in Cali I ain't playin when sayin' kings of the ghetto feel they losing ground Vato's going loco because everyone's brought down This is a visit to then we dead fade to dust strickin' I'm wearing my Doc Martens cause I'm always down for kickin' This my friend the city pity everywhere the enemy Ready or not homey stompin' everyone in front of me Jump up and down cause that's the 311 style Jump up and down cause that's the 311 style Looking at the ocean, I say there's plenty Looking at the river, I say there's plenty Visit, I wanna visit the world So now I visit the world With my time on this world Jump up and down cause that's the 311 style Cruise on by the frowners float follow me with a smile I got a golden ticket, I'm not gonna even pick it I heard it he said it I heard it but it went something like Visit, I wanna visit the world So now I visit the world With my time on this world Visit, I wanna visit the world So now I visit the world With my time on this world


Paradise

Everything you do it comes back to you Whatever it may be If it isn't one thing rest assured that something Will come back and pay you for your deed A shortcut's a self defeating means, if you cannot do it clean You'll never reach your reward And when the day is done, what you recieve is the sum Of what you took out, from what you put in Times deep in a dream seem a vieled realm Shadows what I think and feel is real Times in our tribe feel the tribe when we thrive We have no fear of death and no fear of life I can't forget you and our version of paradise I can't forget you and our version of paradise Everything you do it comes back to you, whatever it may be What you did as a devil or did as an angel The favor returns itself somehow If you take my money I'l buy you a drink and you'll see That no one rides for free Afraid of what I said then your mind is stricken I'm wearing my heart sleeveless and I'm always up for chicken This is my favorite city pity everywhere the enemy From the beginning serious history Nothing's ever given to no one rides for free From the beginning radiant energy's Music what I need to keep my sanity 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 Some of them whine and some of them bitch They cannot do it we never switch We do it for ourselves and we do it for you If you don't like it well I hope you do I've got to be honest I've got to be honest I can't forget you and our version of paradise I can't forget you and our version of paradise I can't forget you and our version of paradise I can't forget you and our version of paradise


Unity

Even if I cared to try 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 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 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


Hydroponic

Mother Nature supreme step back and dream The hydroponic scene Found around knocked out of bounds wound Into the mind of my stone cloud Taste the thinnest of oxygen Rising higher, a stoner cause I can groove something Wrecking nothing to prove see that's in my nature, so fresh The vital bud of the chronic tastes of something thicker Everything I eat is from the Earth, right? I am what I eat, straight up Earth, right? Nothing but a walking sack of earth nice to meet you How do you do, guess what, you're one too My skin holds me in, my brain moves me then Boom I jump straight off the speaker in a form A celebration that we're moving Freely disconnected, I'm truly grateful I'm going back to the earth, I'm not gonna waste life being hateful Kingdom coming through ya Kingdom coming through ya Jumpin' out of my skin, The skin I'm in And the hydroponic's on Did it because we wanna, took up until it's gone An abstract notion here to connect me to the ocean Cause I'm water and carbon and not much else I feel compunction, Conjunction Junction what's your function I'll be hooking up verbs and nouns and phrases and clause As to the causes of misery quizically I look to my own book hooked on trying to fathom The solar systems and atom in a larger molecule Called a galaxy, cool, the the Milky Way is where I stay Astronomy steppin' stompin' a pow wow I rock the mike and shake up the ground, and I'm a bust out like Wild dandelions in fat bloom I'm shooting through the cosomos because you know I loom You know I'm higher, I'm shining brighter, yes yes Like where water comes together with other water foamin' Now I'm homin' like a bird soaring right to the moon I'm a wildflower busting out I go boom Kingdom coming through ya Kingdom coming through ya Jumpin' out of my skin, The skin I'm in And the hydroponic's on Jumpin' out of my skin, The skin I'm in And the hydroponic's on

Nix Hex

Story time Sways away the haze They spent contemplating, formulating, theory siring above me swimming Pay tribute to the few we look up to Come again You my soul fool Who will know us but our brothers Those who down with us are thinking New school, tip top, pound the feeble Walking and talking Low down and evil Follow me now Yo Vato The nix hex is on Would everybody just look at the hook I took it strait from my brain Reminds me of the time I was insane And so I wrote it when I was loaded And voted the least likely to turn out like us I’m singing it for your mind and no I’m singing it for your ears Jump up and down and leave the ground and know that’s why your here And they say down diggey down down, down diggey diggey down,stronger, longer Line up your ways of know what I’m thinking say it again And now I’m with my home team back with a good seat I gladwick like chadwick to tell you what I mean Were laying back on it just like good sex Smooth yet physcodelic its called the nix hex-um The monologue of a singalong Las banderas de san juan piden pa ????? Go tell it on a mountain ,then again bring a friend You'll maybe get dizzy with a scence of vertigo Uplifted soul from the view that I'm on nothin' but love But love But love in my blood sonic in the vortex This is the hip thing Called the nix hex Dig it


Plain

I'm in a good way on a bad day thinking of a plan a way to stay On top of it, nailin' in I have a fit if I sit, sit doin' nothin' Which is what I done so far but I carve a niche with sits in My good things brain layin' the tracks like a loco mo spark the Jay Table Rosa is my brain don't mean to bug or drive you insane Don't have to guess just what I'm sane(sayin') If I had a point, I'd say it plain Dammit my brain is blank and that's lame Nothin' to say but that's ok Nod your head to this Messin' around, I'm not having it you bite the had I put your head out I come to know a travesty and so sad to see The scene dictated frustrated former musicians Switchin the emphasiss from art to money But I demand autonomy what else I tell you what 's wrong to me The industry's ability to manufacture stars They churn them out like Iwo jima makes cars But the blame lies not with those suits for trying it's the sheep That keep on buying that soulless crap whatever they put in front of ya The hysteria of America Nod your head to this Well, stress is the enemy and not a friend to me One thing I see is to be easy goin' throwin' down sit back And watch my life flowin' and knowing life is but a dream You can ask my home team, let me tell you how I seem My economy seems to be in words not action actually ya see yes I'm a tempest and I rarely rest but that's what you go to do If you want to be the best So I'm on a threshold so don't tell me no I just flow and know I can count on my bros Table Rosa is my brain don't mean to bug or drive you insane Don't have to guess just what I'm sane (sayin') If I had a point, I'd say it plain Dammit my brain is blank and that's lame I would be a liar if I said I was inspired Nothin' to say but that's ok Nod your head to this, to this, to this Don't you know that the devil he's in me and God she is too My Yin hates my Yang, but what the hell ya gonna do I choose a rocky ass path but that's how I like it Life's a bowl of punch go ahead and spike it

Do You Right

Passin' the kind buds. Kickin' back in the sand in the sun. To be alive is lovin'. Where the shore meets the seam. Man I'm hummin' I'm hummin I'm free as I stare at the sea. And I'm not comin' down. The world is yours once you have 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. Chorus : I'm free as I stare at the sea. And I'm not comin' down. The world is yours once you have 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. Wanna 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. Chorus Free from the burn, no buzz hack. No buss hack, no buzz hack. Swing to the thing you bring. How could you be so good to me. How could you be so good to me. Buzz hack, hack hack, buzz. Swing to the thing you bring, check it out.
