Chill light on my sight as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
While i scatter my spit i dream of juice

Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kiss that made your day or say
Played a track from your record collection
It's your mix congratulations

We've changed alot and then some-some
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you
Then just let me do it now

I bet you light up when we start the show
Follow me now very closely cause i told you so
You know we glow because we throw sunrays
We be freaky and we wanna stay

We've changed alot and then some-some
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you
Then just let me do it now

Lightning strikes yo we be in that violent force of light
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolemite
Cuz we're dope kid change like a chameleon and the
Channel whenever that wack show real world is on

You know we dazzle like ghetto box boomin battles
Rattle inside your head feel redeemed like cola bottles
Fall in love with your teachers on the wax
We are self made check the technique,311 in LA

We've changed alot and then some-some
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you
Then just let me do it now

Keep my feet on the ground
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
Comes from the down-and

We've changed alot and then some-some
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you
Then just let me do it now

You've got to trust your instinct
and let go of regret
You've got to bet on yourself now star
because thats your best bet

Watch me now with a wicked and wild and i said
we come with the funky style
that gets us known for the show
and we'll mix the hip hop reggae if we say it is so
and ---- the naysayers because they don't mean a thing
because this is what style we bring

now it's morning but last night's on my mind
there's something i need to get off my chest
and no matter what may come to shine
the dream will always be mine

all mixed up you don't know what to do
next thing you turn around and find the person is you
thought a freak might be the thing
but the first could be the last
so just get off of your ass

all mixed up you don't know what to do
next ting you turn around and find the person is you
thought a freak might be the thing
but the first could be the last
so just get off of your ass

You've got to trust your instinct
and let go of regret
You've got to bet on yourself now star
because thats your best bet

sick sick but just can't quit

and no matter what may come to shine
the dream will always be mine

which is really truly nothing
but you could bust me out all day

many moons since first i saw you
many moons since first we did the do
many moons since first i saw you
many moons since first we did the do

any why did i try when i knew it was no and
why did i try when i saw it was so
but save it for late when we should just let it skate
because the waiting feel is fine

sound boy proceed to blast into the galaxy
go back rocket man into the sky you'll see
hear it all the time, come back rewind
aliens are waiting up in the sky
sound boy proceed to blast into the galaxy

sound boy when you come round (come round)
sound boy won't you stay (stay)
no one gonna harm you (harm you)
they all want you to play

i watch the birds of prey that
hunt the canyon below my house
looking for a meal like a lizard or a mouse
i wounder if they apperciate 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 lickety split and hand it to the man in the tan
van and as for you and your crew i don't hate you
peace is my priority 'cuz marley said for sure ity
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 to muck stucking
but anytime your aware of it then keep on fucking

isn't that random?
you know we cool when we come 'bout (isn't that random?)
people get ready
sound boy gonna rock you (isn't that random?)
people rock steady (isn't that random?)

to be the one that has it all is not that hard
and i be that type of dude in a funky car
i dream of a suit that will fit my rid
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 800 years
if i'm still lucky

go north on outpost and 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

isn't that random?
you know we cool when we come 'bout (isn't that random?)
people get ready
sound boy gonna rock you (isn't that random?)
people rock steady (isn't that random?)

i break a silly peace for offering rap weasel
then i'm boffering i'd give you an exclusive on my playlist
the thoughts and styles i kick are from a random hat pick
that's why most radio will never play this
tell 'em again

me a rude boy from omaha nebraska
sick as a porno flick yet gold as precious laughter
many don't agree, but we can't care about that
'cuz were never gonna wear the old hat. spoken

If you want more beats for your buck there's no luck(x4)

Then there's no luck
Then again if you came for drama then I cant understand
Music critics music critics
Not afraid of a guy who'll tell you
He's never been in a mix
Been in a mix been in a mix
We're in the grass roots so big up to your friends

Every crew, every click, & every posse
Big up to all the heads not of hypocracy

You're a transistor
Lightning resistor
Conducting to the mother star
That's what you are

Renegade sound system 311 (x4)
311 (x2)
Brother from another planet & here once again
Automatic (x2)
Quantim saints of the universe in a holographic
Cosmic remix (x2)
From the mysterios blue planet
We can breathe anywhere
Underwater, out in space & in LA
Polluted air's no problem for these homeys

You're a transistor
Lightning resistor
Conducting to the mother star
Thats what you are

Today seems like a good day
To burn a bridge or two
The one w/ old wood creaking
That would burn away right on cue
I try to be not like that, but some people really suck
Some people need to get the axing
Chalk it up to bad luck

I know a drugstore cowgirl
So afraid of getting bored
She's always runnin from something
So many things ignored
I might do that stuff if
It didnt make me feel like shit
I'm on some old reality tip
So many trips in it

Beautiful disater
Flyin down the street again
I tried to keep up (keep up)
Wore me out & left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
Youra a butterfly in the wind w/ out a care
A pretty train crash to me & I cant care
I do, I dont whatever

I know a drugstore cowgirl
So afraid of getting bored
She's always runnin from something
So many things ignored
I try to be not like this
But I thought it'd make a good song
There's nothing to see, show's over
People just move along

Beautiful disaster
Flyin down the street again
I tried to keep up (keep up)
Wore me out & left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
Youre a butterfly in the wind w/out a care
Pretty train crash to me & I cant care
I do, I dont , whatever

You got to

Come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers

To come original it ain�t nothin� strange
You got to represent you got come full range

Full range of emotion full range of styles
When you come to town you�ll have them
comin� for miles

Come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers
Hear why

Black Eyed Peas they comin� full range and
NOFX they comin� full range and
Roni Size he comin� full range
The one Mr. Vegas you know it ain�t easy

A warning to the crews out there who think they�re hot
If you�re not original rockers you will get shot
Down by the kids neglectin� your art, the stuff you did
Eventually it get so bad puts you to bed
Cuz when the lightning flashes sweet electricity
All the world then stands revealed with the clarity
Of raw voltage, briefly we see and the hope is
You�ll be able to tell just what dope is

Come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers
Hear why

Funk slap bass mixed with the dancehall and
Hip-hop beats and punk guitar and
Deadly on the mic is the one SA
The name is 311 and you know it ain�t easy

This is not a test there�s no time to mope
How you gonna cope with radioactive isotope
And boss dj illness upon you now quickly
Infecting you fast upon the airwaves
This message brought to you by the so large system
Activate and attune yourself with meditation
And green plants they�ve got mad life they�re sentient
They�re beautiful as you and they like to dance

Everything we do we gotta come original
Put your hand up in the air and prepare for battle
Sit upon the rhythm like a tire upon a rim
We do it non-stop and then we do it again
Some a them whine and some a them bitch
They can not do it never switch
Comin� up from the heart and
Delivered with a wild pitch
Sit up on top the rhythm like a wild stallion
This is the ruling system

Come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers

Chorus:
Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
The more it will spin, the more that I try
To stop my mind flowing away, away
To all that I despise
Along the way to close my eyes

You can't be let down if you don't expect the world
Expect to lay awake there by your sleeping girl
If somebody cares then there is no way you can tell
Cursed consciousness it's your private hell

(Chorus)

Tick, tick, tick the clock bludgeons your mind
Endlessly replaying times that were unkind
Go away sun I'm not prepared for you today
It seems you are, it seems you are

(Chorus)
