Lyrics

Nod your head to this, as a lot of apprentice

Nod along to this, acknowledging the expertise of some learners

Some of this were standing on the shoulder of giants

Some individuals benefit from the knowledge of those who came before

Some tyrants, some benevolent

There are both oppressive rulers and compassionate leaders

To the followers, it's relevant

For followers, this information is significant


The rest get bent on lending opinions

Others strongly advocate their opinions

I'm sending to a brand new level

Elevating things to a new level

I revel in completion, I like to see deletion

I enjoy finishing things and removing unnecessary elements

Of the parasites to make the load light

Removing parasitic influences to lighten the load


Fools know rules, but the rest keep bouncing back

Some people abide by rules, but others keep rebounding

With the lack of further adieu, see

Without further delay or ceremony

As one can deduce, we kick out the jams

We energetically start performing music

Slam the s*** out hard and long

We perform vigorously and passionately

'Cause we got more song, dig it, check it

Because we have more to offer, understand and examine it


Something you might like now

Here's something you might enjoy now

All-star bound

Heading toward being exceptional

Yeah, you're so sound

You're very impressive

Cool as the blue water all around

Calm and collected like serene waters


From a force field flashing

There's a powerful energy emitting

Aliens are sending

Possibly suggesting an extraterrestrial communication

Black evolutions of love you are hearing

You're experiencing profound evolutions of love

The dark supernatural is the world we call

The mystical and unexplained is the world we inhabit


Our own home lightning in the mind comes out in song

Our creativity and inspiration come out through music

But we're wild, they say, "never trust us, we're shady"

There's skepticism about trusting us, viewing us as untrustworthy

In lieu of the crew you're into, we are, baby

Compared to the group you're involved with, we're different

'Cause music will be coming out the words we speak

Our music reflects the words we speak


We erect break beats shatter, wax still on the platter

We create powerful rhythms and disrupt norms

Our s*** is badder, we come, fly, then we scatter

Our work is more intense and superior

'Cause we deep and we solid, yeah, we hear ya holler

We're profound and unified, acknowledging your enthusiasm


Electricity running through is all that feels good

Electricity coursing through us is what truly feels great

Sometimes the only thing that really ever could

Sometimes, that's the only thing that satisfies

Feed, that hunger, I crave it

That hunger for stimulation, I desire it intensely

I love it, I gave it

I cherish and give myself to it wholeheartedly


I shove it in a battery and save it for later

I store that energy for later use

A waiter in the Dorothy C. Pavilion in '89

A memory from a specific place and time, encountering unconventional individuals

I met some weirdoes and had myself a real good time

I had an enjoyable experience in a particular location

Downtown L.A. is a soul graveyard

A place where toughness is required, lacking something essential


Where you got to be hard or get jacked

You need to be tough or be taken advantage of

It lacked a certain sense of something

There's something missing in that environment

Something basic, no karma in he least I broke east

Basic decency seems absent, I headed east and had to confront it

You know I had to face it

I had to confront and accept it

I guess I flaked but it was no mistake because 311's got the boom

I might have avoided responsibility, but it was intentional as our music has a significant impact


My mike check is giving me Electric Company

Testing my microphone gives me a sense of power

I can't see the high wide sky or stars above me

Feeling restricted, unable to see the vastness above

Are you a flower, or more like a high rise tower?If so, the soul of sweet delight on you will shower

Questioning the nature of someone—are they gentle or towering?

There's a place for us they say is somewhere

There's a place where we supposedly belong


Not a dream, but a place and you will be there

It's not merely a dream but an actual location

You're slippin', but content because your spirit And hills are alive, with the sound of music People never see the whole trip of life

Despite feeling uncertain, one's spirit finds contentment, referencing a musical reference to life's journey

Grab knowledge, man, and all you do is syph

Seek knowledge, as
