Homebrew lyrics - 311

Now I know fools get their own when they chit chat
Haven't heard yet, but you can bet I'm not with that
With that talk, with the digi walk
I struck a bird, you heard, absurd, word to the fact
I'm a cat, nippin', sippin' on the flask
Passin' it, talkin' shit, but only if you're an ass
In front of me 'cuz you could run from me but
In the end, revenge send ends to the defendant
I can't get caught in the spiral
'Cuz every bit of energy, it goes to my survival
Out my way, I'm a flicka flacka blotter
Ya try to find a weakness, but the shit keeps gettin' harder

Fourth of July
With Lucy in sky
I remember pine trees and the coat of many colors
I was nineteen
I'd do anything
Shit like that now scares me, but I'd like to do it again
It was independence day
I've seen the other side and I say
Oh, I've been insane
And I won't ever be the same

'Cuz we flow we must be fly
First to flow, Nick, oh my brother, so wise
And then I rise (???)
Here's an ill kid pimpin' cuz he is so slick
Steps from darkness, his body electric
A drone buzzes the air, a cracklin' tone
Then boomin' like thunder in a cosmic jungle
Death defyin' like Evil Knievel
Words that will wobble awkward and evil
'Cuz he flow and rock the hardest of the crowds
A marvel pow, how you like me now
I've returned the kiss of death the last Damien
From the abyss, a fresh eternal alien
Now famished from pathless ways, I'ma do damage
To the whack MCs, I know you can't stand this
Right about now, get down, I'm the annihilator
Rockin' with the rhythm of my rhyme detonator

Fourth of July
With Lucy in sky
I remember pine trees and the coat of many colors
I was nineteen
I'd do anything
Shit like that now scares me, but I'd like to do it again
It was independence day
I've seen the other side and I say
Oh, I've been insane
And I won't ever be the same

Lucky lyrics - 311

I'm taking it to the bridge and there's a different country
I'm bringing with me the people I know
Deep down are funky
Oh yeah, we dap, we got the juice it's on tap
Never take the time to rewind all the weak crap
Here, take it, it's yours, the gift is calling
The sunshine be falling our way first every morning
I'm a magician, you see I'm christened with condition
Held over from a future world, I've come to you so listen
There's a place out in deep space
Where all the brothers chant and dance and rant
And shave their heads like Buddha, I'm a flyguy
You know I'm smoother
Of course no remorse is left for all you loser crews

I do not care what you do, I always screw up
But when I do, it's nothing like you, I wish you grew up
You're saying anything, like promise to get clean
Won't kick, half-dead, you're fucked up in the head
Just get him out of here, get him out of here
Get him out of here, uh, yeah, he's making me sick
We push a sucker out, with much force and much clout
Didn't want to do it, that's not what we're about
But you gotta have a limit, how low can you get it
Seems about time to change the subject and sing about
The wise-eyed girl that makes me feel good
And never do I leave misunderstood

Aw, yeah, can you feel it
I know you feel good too
You got a choice of what you're gonna do
It's like this, that
Herb is where it's at
Mix a melody with some backchat
Tell 'em again, can you feel it
I know you feel good too
You got a choice of what you're gonna do
It's like this, that
Herb is where it's at
Mix a melody with some backchat

I'm rollin' slow, no particular place to go
So nothing's changed, the more things stay the same
The more it doesn't matter to a latter day St. Bernard
Acting hard, but I throw down like a crazy retard
But what could make a man wanna walk around the schoolyard with his tool hard
And what could make the switch to call a girl a bitch
It probably happened when you first started rappin'
And when you know that you were stuck with Beavis
Now leave us on a note of positivity
I'm saying this for levity, but if I leave it brief, I call it brevity
I said I see the people rocking, which means there's no stopping the flow
And you can just tell 'em that you know

Come on, every night, yeah, we turnin' up
And comin' off live like a final 311 battle breaking idols
On the one you never heard before
You know the hard-core rockin' pumpin' the dance floor
Leave ya feet sore looking for your Micatin
You know the mic is deadly in the mood we into
Certified, not fakin', cool like a Jamaican
Every time the enemy hear us, they will be shakin'

Damn
I know you feel good too
You got a choice of what you're gonna do
It's like this, that
Herb is where it's at
Mix a melody with some backchat
Tell 'em again, damn
I know you feel good too
You got a choice of what you're gonna do
It's like this, that
Herb is where it's at
Mix a melody with some backchat

Nutsymptom lyrics - 311

The coda funk has you sunk, feel the mids pump
Blessed are those who erupt when we turn up
Right now we corrupt cons the shades
We don in the neon night
We're gonna feed on the mic and blast through a pipe
I got a cool capability to toast and ill
Yo my daddy told me, "Hey son you must act chill"
Alien rough my galaxy is tough here comes the bang
Of a hip-hop thang that we brang and swang
Men from Mars ain't ever gonna hang
With dope Buddhas we come to the stage, we are attackin'
Space assassin naked live and never slackin'
Come a day on the way enter one S.A.
Amplified from another world far away
I got the pang of a gang and I come from the Southside
Here's the thang that I brang and I promise to come live

While the masses passes upon their fucking asses
And if you don't see, get glasses
That is a shout out to the words of Curt Grubb
The motherfucker is no scrub, I said the man is the kind
With the one that I call Brine Shrimp
We never ever do skimp, I limp on stage in a huff
Like magic dragon on puff, on the stuff of a Humbot cone
Then I'm stoned, watch out
Smoke the weed that come from Northern California
Not do no cocaine that come from Colombia
That the thing that mash up your nature
Mash up your body and mash up your culture
Take a tip from the flipped script of Daddy Freddy
I give complete props to the one that rocks steady
With dexterity that goes on and on and on
And turn out the dope shit like the one they call
Pawn Shop Press yes, it's on, what's up
P-Nut change it up, one time from your mind, watch out

8:16 A.M. lyrics - 311

Stranger flowers yet
There will never come a day that I will ever regret
The hours, days, years and the minutes
The joy, the pain, the sunshine and rain in it
The drives on the coast to nowhere
Nothing to say, just sit and stare
There's nothing like the comfort of a silence that's comfortable
Not talking small, just skip the bull
Then I find myself in servility
Didn't think that was my ability
I go a yard and a mile to make you smile
But then I'm happy to see
I got so many ways to make your gaze elliptical
Got a ways to go, the future's so cryptical and I'm glad
Just another many things we've had

It's 8:16 A.M., will you wake up to me
The first thing that you see
My eyes open, I'm just hopin' you feel the same as me
The day starts carefully
On the sidewalk with the dog
You're right last night I was a hog
Come on, I'm sorry
It's 73 degrees
January easily glides
Oh, easily glides

Stranger flowers still
If you're gonna wanna go another day I will
Like this, make it a deal, sealed with a kiss
Sealed with the feel of impermanent bliss
Today my love, we shall let the world slide
Turn off the ringer and just glide
For we will never be younger again then
What do you see

It's 8:16 A.M. will you wake up to me
The first thing that you see
My eyes open, I'm just hopin' you feel the same as me
The day starts carefully
On the sidewalk with the dog
You're right last night I was a hog
Come on, I'm sorry
Holiday on the radio
Billie knows that is the way to go
The way to go

A place where we both can spend our saved time
Not collecting interest
Maybe the same reason we always find ourselves homebound
I've got to do some homework
The leave response, we want to leave Wisconsin
For a new life, a new trailer with an antenna and a porch
Of course we'll bring the dog

Omaha Stylee lyrics - 311

W-w-ww-w-w-w-wake the town and tell the people
311
311
311 is
The people, what's up, the people, what's up
311
311
311 is
The people, what's up, the people, what's up

In a minute, everything you have can all be straight gone
In a minute, things you thought were tied
Can come straight undone
How about some knocks on wood, some so far, it's so good
Any day, what you think is solid earth can jump up
And spread out to the north and south
That's what plates are about
Nature has no conscience, no kindness or ill will but

The dreams they had make me sad
Because of the vibes of them
When one girl dreamt a fire in hers
And then it happened to me and my family
My bro's and I were driving
The RV bleeding flames
Us leaping through fire surviving
Zoned with no home, there was fire all on it
Umm let me have my life, I want it

I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna
I'm gonna tell you and then I said
We're comin' in kill, we're comin' in chill
We're comin' in how we will
Want to tell the whole world what's the deal
And I say know no critical border 'cause we do what we want
Got more funky styles than my laser jet got font

Not one to get over sounding like the norm
Friendly to the radio, all that shit is corn
All we coming with is a little bit of swing
And we go on like it ain't no thing, and I say

Omaha stylee did not think there was one
Where you know the radio's weak and the shows are more fun
But you know we fucked up the dance hall since 1988
Many did not think when they hear we come from this state
Still we're down like that, still we're down like that
Still we're down like that, kickin' the funk that smells of skunk

Omaha stylee did not think there was one
Where you know the radios weak and the shows are more fun
But you know we fucked up the dance hall since 1988
Many did not think when they hear we come from this state

The dance hall that we come from was a pool table basement
The bud was low-key and the records were Jamaican, but uh

Such occasions occur back in the day
It begins you're a raw kid all the way
Son of a gun, but then you drifted
All are endowed, but few are gifted
At the break of dawn, behavin' like a spy
Lampin' in the light, the cold world awakens
Deeper is the light to open up the sky
Look into my eyes and see the dialating

Omaha Stylee is the shit we come with man
Embedded in our souls it breaths out from this band
We always knew that we could
Thank you if you too thought we would

Not one to get over sounding like the norm
Friendly to the radio, all that shit is corn
All we coming with is a little bit of swing
And we go on like it ain't no thing and I say

Omaha stylee did not think there was one
Where you know the radios weak and the shows are more fun
But you know we fucked up the dance hall since 1988
Many did not think when they hear we come from this state
Still we're down like that, still we're down like that
Still we're down like that, kickin' the funk that smells of skunk

We will arise, explore these worlds and find the grassroots
How to crew to do the grinding of the grounds to brew
My dude on the one to come off like Teflon
Rock your shit and you will rise on

If you're a farmer out standing in your field, say uhh
Do as you will, do as you wish, follow your bliss, say uhh
We travel around the country giving it our best
We like to see the people dancing
And bouncing and the rest

The hammer and the chisel and the rule it compass
We forge a sword, the chariots of war, a battle axe

There's much power in anger, but loves a bigger banger
Complete props to my crew 'cause this is how we do
Omaha Stylee

Applied Science lyrics - 311

Nod your head to this as a lot of apprentice
Some of this were standing on the shoulder of giants
Some tryants some benevolent
To the followers it's relevant
The rest get bent on lending opinions
I'm sending to a brand new level
I revel in completion I'd like to see deletion of parasites
Getting served like Smuckers Jam
Fool know rules but the rest keep bouncing back
With the lack of further adieu see
As one can deduce we
Slam the shit out hard and long
Cuz we got more song

Something you might like now
All-star bound
Yeah your so sound
Cool as the blue water all around
From a force field flashing
Aliens are 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 your into we are baby
Cuz music will be coming out the words we speak
We erect breakbeats shatter wax still on the platter
Our shit is badder we come fly then we scatter
Cuz we deep and we solid yeah we hear ya holler

Electricity running through the soul it feels good
Some time the only thing that really ever could
Feed that hunger I crave it I love it I gave it
I shove it in a battery and save it for later
A waiter in the Dorothy Pavilion in '89
I met some wierdos and had myself a real good time
Downtown L.A. is a soul graveyard
Where you got to be hard or get jacked
It lacked a certain sense of something
Something basic no karm int he 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

My mic check is giving 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
Your slippin' but content because your spirit
And hills are alive with the sound of music

"People never seem to get over the wise breath, but all is said and all you do is sigh..."

Taiyed lyrics - 311

Returning from the water cold alive and shining
Rock a mic in the afterlife while your moon is rising
Heatin' up forcing steam whirling to be seen
The dark held stars are the frost of my breathing
Swimming through the darkness I'm a ghostly shark
Developing like a photograph slowly in the dark
The hearafter the action the main attraction
One love in all of this that I'm going after

Now there's fire inside but black space surrounds you
You think "Where oh where am I"
but even your light continues
See through us see a soul we have not yet
Learned to harness see the next world inside it
We are the people of skin who left water
Inside the dark womb inside of our mother
Prone to the beat and vibe of our tribe
We catch the drift and ride moving tides
Out from a love that will keep on burning
Now see yourself to the next world returning
This life an old place we face to live again
What is it to understand the heareafter

Silver lyrics - 311

Don't fear mere words cuz if it takes a word ruin ya
You should have already hard you're finished through and soon ya
See that stifling sentences is so much more suspicious
Much worse could come of that so much more delicious
To the dastardly basturdly plans of little mice and men
Ugly rears its head and speaks from now and then
People love to disagree so avoid the endless bout make no attempt
To try and suss the stupid out
But of the racist institutions simple minds belong
Not happy just being human, no wish to get along
Little people need exclusions sucker groups to throng
It makes them feel special it makes them feel strong
Now I got a click but it's more like a family
Not an ethnic trip more like an ethic see
I write the rhyme today tell it to you later
Whether were coming in wack or what it's a waste to be a hater

Graffiti bombs-from the palms-love is so strong
Can't be stopped too long
For the night it will come
Shaped in the form of Mars that stone afar
Ghetto cool Oh well
Now you feel the spell
The color rocks the bell
The king of swing rise to the top
The thythm possessed in ya and it don't stop
The mise is broken The demon locin'
Dropping the bomb and all that is left is the smokin'
Cloakin' chokin; the lyrics are spoken
Infrared vision scopin' condition
Now breakin' 'em all to pieces like a sly rap bandit
Witha fly Lu-Kang kick in Mortal Combat and I land it
So get your own back when I jam it cold and
Hearing about you rhyme style been outmoded
The dopest flow upon the planet
Dope is the word the bro throw up on the down low goddammit

You juice your fucking friends like Dracula
But when we kick you out you're just brokula
You left a big surprise from Pacific Bell
Called all your relatives and your friends in Hell
Now let me tell you something you fucking piece of shit
You'll never have no money, now tell me was it worth it?
You leave a trail of lies that's why you keep moving
We won't come after you we'd only end up provin
In the end revenge send ends to the defendant
I know that statement's true I wear it like a pendant
I know you'll hear this song so I think it's funny
The name is theif or trust and money.

Like Captain Picard we come hard in light years
Our star has long bust but now reappears
In your sky at night rising and immense
Yes you see ourselves in the shine of it
And so passing under the dome of the great sky
Beware we are the stars holmes that you ruled by
Where death reborn into the world is a gift
So the future with no voice of its own will uplift
All is gone
All is calm y'all

Set wrecked in L.A.
In the Wetlands of New York
Atlanta and Phoenix
Portland, Lincoln and N.O.

Grassroots lyrics - 311

I flip when I kick it trippin it
So I can check shit not in a daily style
But once in every while so I can
File check file check the files of my brain
Many of meaning manage to come from the insane
And the butcher the baker the fabulous drama maker
A cracker on a truck goin' breaker breaker
Listen to everyone then disregard it
The maningful shit comes back back to where it started
In your cranium surrounded by pot like a geranuim
A capital 2 burns in my mind give me some peace
I looked at her I looked at him and neither one did know
Where the wild thoughts grow check it out

I look to absolutes and there absolutely none
The truth is what you shoot for not one
Nothing brings it all together the journeys never done
I'd sing you Stormy Weather but it's been sung so
Let's have some fun
Three Eleven hass grass roots
Challenge comes and goes and there will be another
I say bring it on
The roots that grow underground are as big as the tree
That you see if not it will fall down
We waste so many moments standing on convention
The only survey is when our heart pays no attention

Move with persistence cover much distance
Knowing no perdition that's my game for instance
Three Eleven true to no tradition
And the Three Eleven crew not dow with convention
But a hundred different people already told what we about
So I make not attempt to try and suss the stupid out
I'd turned into a roughneck that was not my intention
It doesn't even really matter unless I fail to mention that
Peace to all crews that want some peace
First the Mid then the West then we slide through the East
A piece to any crew that want a peice
But peace to all crews that want peace
Check it out

Salsa lyrics - 311


We were born in the seventies
The rippin and rhyming and brethren see
We're filling taste great
In the old school I was eight
Fot the new school I was late
But in high school I was debate
I rate in the great state of California
I'm warning ya
Je vais a la plage parce que le guignol est chouette!
I kick nonsense in French tasty like Crepe Suzette
I bet you're feeling famished for a 311 sandwich
Not the wack DJ's that I'ma damage
I like a beat that's unique and I like my head zooming
And in my Continental you know that shit's booming
With the diamond int eh back suicide doors
You can look from here to eternity
And never receive your morsel.

Another tale of ordinary madness
The girl who gave you her sex I heard was homeless say
All I really wanna is to feel nirvana
Won't you take me tonight and we just might find
A bottle of wine and feel our nasty nature
Your toung lickin' up my tounge
Your radio pickin' up a smokey jazz love song
Madness becomes you even though your
Livin' life it's hard to exist when you're tempted
By flesh you wanna bust through
Beautiful legs in the bar there is poetry
She bends and suspends and her ass
Is a marvelous thing
A dance dancin' at a club the Hereafter
Who can't really dance but that doesn't really matter
And she won't hear applause
Cus your drunk and lost
All light is gone
Your arms spread like a cross
And you're dreaming that the world
Will soon fall apart
Topless firl in your gaze
Which is hazy
Takes your dollar
In the gutter without cigarettes
Or wine your hungover
I was warned of your normal
Behaviour and felt
My life was too short to
Consider your wack self
It's like this when you dip down
And you are boxin'
Reeling against the ropes and you
Face some young Mexican
Your scrappin' your kneck gets
Snapped back your eyes have bled
Your thinking' about a comeback
But your takin' it to the head
You little bastard
Better watch you back
Cuz we're after
Your punk ass by God we're gonna jack it
You're played out and small time
And your show is over
You're 'bout as lucky as a three leaf clover
And your older ho bag sceezer
In her droopy saggy skin
Who thoughtshe was a model
But in truth a never-has-been
I'll slap that witch as if I were her pimp
And my crew will attest to her fradulence

Lose lyrics - 311

I can see it now have to show you how
The funny thing is that we couldn't have it any other way
Still it kills me when we say
All we've been through
All the congs that I've sung for you
We both know I'm gonna lose you

I hate to be alone
There comes a time to reap what you've sewn
All we've been through
All the songs that I've sung for you
We both know I'm gonna lose you

Let's think of all the good times
Instead of wish we could times
So much better that way
This is what I ask for
This is what I deserve
Be careful what you ask for

Six lyrics - 311

You know patience pushing a dream brings my demons to life
Songs are vacations our soul salvation will you
Suspend your disbelief I'd like to be the, thief
That steals that jaded necklace that you're always wearing
I'd take that thing and with my knive I'd start pairing so
Chop chop piece piece and send it to the raiders of LA
There are so many this land of plenty
The things we lack straight square within our grasp
Ever you do ever you think
Whether you're brown or you're pink
I think not thinkings better bout it
When you stop to think
The jaded ones will wither
While the optimistic grow
I settle that a bet will let a large amount
So indulge me just for a minute imagine no one holdin out
All trying for peace my brothers down
Some others down it happens slow
think you should know the direction that the world go peace

They number six to make them feel like men
They one up us cuz we're much to much for them
OK the method to the mischeifs over there then
Sike shazam we strike with the lightnin
Through space we move and emit an ill tracer
We're set to light your world kid we're your maker
Check it our karma plus the avant garder
Style of out sect wise to ways comes to wreck
While the masses mill around curse in anguish
311 stompin' em down with the quickness
We see all the crews that be comin' around
Like a drive through Estes park you savor the sun
But when the clouds come make animals

Offbeat Bare-Ass lyrics - 311

Any different people can apply to drop the funk
It's not a country club review board steady talkin junk
Many people would have it others go put and grab it
Some trip over toots and say fuck it I'm sunk
I put it in a limerick and kick the slick nick verbs
I am the one who scores the herb
When we're on the road P-Nut rolls it up
Throw me a joint on stage what's up
I will tell a cop that I know my fucking rights
And we can match wits all night for real
He said if I had nothing to hide
Then of course I wouldn't mind if he looked through our ride
Uh, no I'd really rather you didn't
And no we don't have guns hidden
We stood there for a while continue to decline
Firmly, I didn't lose my mind
I didn't let him break me he's just another human
Not a bit of shame in what we were doin' that day
He couldn't make us stay
We had our shit together
It don't matter whether
We sport the dread locks or a shaved head
Or if we have a sticker from the dead
I said a better verse rehearsed about the roughneck curse
Last week I keep an even keel and bow in place
And face the music every minute

Never could see my homey comin' till he passed
Funky gas by my way all the day I couldn't laugh
Oh by now I'm chill with it
Bare ass in my face I'm ok but Chad's like "Uh-uh no he isn't"
So I proceed to hear him get loose with the
Fartin' all over my face sometimes my tummy
He fucked with my flow although I thought it funny
I probably wouldn't care if I smoked more kind bud
But that wouldn't do me shit cuz then he'd fuck me more up
Crazy ill and chillin' rude but I'ze a real cool dude
He didn't believe the day would come when he would get his top
But then one day right in front of his face I got him
He looked over said "God damn get me some water"
The one time I hadn't wasted till I got mine
Smeared his nose with my armpit funk slime
So you get it the picture just how sick we were then
But before I jet "Hey yo Chad sniff my finger man"

I can see a lot of people who feel like I do
I can see a lot of people who feel like I don't
I go on step lightly even when I'm heavy
High jump the slump open up fot eh Revy Horton Heat
Sweet what am I displayin' forgot what I was saying
I know I must be laying a pipe you got a gripe
With the way I get high
Graffix bong sing along with a cry of a
Mandatory sentence for a crime with no victim
When everyone knows jail terms should be picked in
Order of the pain that they cause
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law
Until you violate the rights of another
Respect the space of your sister and your brother
The war on drugs may be well intentioned
But it falls fucking flat when you stop and mention
The overcrowded prisons where a rapists gets paroled
To make room for a dude who has sold
A pound of weed to me that's a crime
Here's to good people doin time y'all

Bare Ass Yeah [x4]

1,2,3 lyrics - 311

Long time did I run down like that
I would have three years ago-today but not now
It's not like that

It's all right to feel good
It's all for nothing to be wrong
The deepest dream that we have
Could be tomorrow's song

Just what did he say stop
1 and 2 and 3
Run up the hill do as you do
I'm going to chill you know you really
Ought to do the same
They wanna bug you
But I won't let them today
It's a sure shot to the bomb drop
Every single
You know you swing
it and you fling it
And you make some shit up but
It's just 123

album: "Music" (1993)

Welcome lyrics - 311

[SA echo's in parenthesis]
Welcome to this groove you csn move right
We're gonna take you higher (higher)
Not caught in the quagmire (mire)
I can't survive on the stupid 9 to 5
I'd rather be poor writin' tunes livin' on a commune
Kickin' it with my brothers (brothers)
And significant others (others)
Life in pursuit of only money we think its funny
The only thing that money it could ever bring for 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 buy the world coat
but like I said I said
You could never get me interested in dreams of wealth
Myself my birthday happens to land on April 12th whack
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 thinkin'
A tone poem alone is love medicine then the demon
Spring revolution in my spirit here it is and I will kill with it
Ta-ta-ta
Travelin' 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 breakin' in it
Doles out my share of the world, ocean, and sun
Rising with whirling motion
Yea 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 let again
I'm so selected oh white foam the travellin'
We're here, we're breathing and we wanna keep out blood running
So we're gonna keep gunning to the next homecoming
I like to boogie to the bang (he said come up) bang boogie
Say jump the boogie to the bang bang come on

Freak Out lyrics - 311



Get up get up get up and rock it [repeats]
Hey rock with me I freak out
To the A.C.I.D. house
With a new school twist bein kissed
But I make all desire to climb higher
On nothin but my own criteria
Steerin a van with the help of my brothers
In crime stayin right for my own time
How can you give a damn give a damn if you approve it
Its a battle I just freak out (get up get up get up and rock it)
I freak out (get up get up get up and rock it)
Freak Out (get up get up get up and rock it)
Come on come on we'll come back slipped out
A whack as a master laid out the music
Dead by unsung blue shoe
The boy unknown with gone through
I've lost as much psycadelic trip we take
There's another more bizzare we have to make
Would we have no where beyond
Take out the earth the face is gone
My rocks and sand will fill the hole
How strange we should be here at all
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
Come on yo come on and rock this
Come on yo come on and rock this
Come on yo come on and rock this
Yeay Into whose womb were you woven
And outta who's womb did you first 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 we
Are rumbling in this cursed universe where death is birth
Think not but what your manifest is worth
Giving up a verse the worse the curse occurs a thirst
To burst first breaking to the center of the universe
Slamming down on the lingo flow so jam to the bumrush single
Long ago has been 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 comin 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 doin'
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
This is a heat to flush your face water
This is a heat to flush your face water
This is a heat to flush your face water
This is a heat to flush your face water
Come on freak out

Visit lyrics - 311

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 (world)
He's in another place (place)
You know the need for speed is just another form of greed
But when your Jones'n (Jones'n)
Your brain is frozen (frozen)
You're not thinkin' about the choices your makin'
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 goin' down for me, it's goin down for me (visit)
And he and she are what I need, yes they're what I need (visit)
But I'm gonna buy a ticket, I'm not gonna even pick it
(reggae raga, reggae raga, reggae)
I heard it, he said it, I heard it
(reggae raga, reggae raga, reggae)
But it went, 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 dog in an alley
Now I mind my 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 stricken'
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 (visit)
Cruise on by the frowners float follow me now with a smile (visit)
(reggae raga, reggae raga, reggae)
Looking at the ocean, I say there's plenty
(reggae raga, reggae raga, reggae)
Looking at the river, I say there's plenty so

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 (visit)
Cruise on by the frowners float follow me now with a smile (visit)
I've got a golden ticket, I'm not gonna even pick it
(reggae raga, reggae raga, reggae)
I heard it he said it I heard it
(reggae raga, reggae raga, reggae)
But it went, 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 lyrics - 311

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 receive is the sum.
Of what you took out, from what you put in.

Times deep in a dream seem a veiled 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.

[Chorus:]
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'll 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 kickin'.
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.

[Chorus]
[Chorus]

Unity lyrics - 311

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
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 in your face know your place come on like
Word they come like a heard but they said
We'd drop like a lead zeppelin in your face
But that's nothin' hometeam
I ain't got to my ace in the whole 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 grooves 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 maks you feel ill
It runs in my family
Steppin' and goin' and lyin' and cryin'
My brain is on fire it feels like I'm flying through space
Yea, 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

Hydroponic lyrics - 311

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 cus 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 ya do.
Guess what. Ya 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 the Earth.
I'm not gonna waste life being hateful.

[Chorus]
Kingdom coming through ya.
Jumpin' out my skin.
The skin I'm in.
And the hydroponics' on.

Did it because we wanna toke 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 felt compunction.
Conjunction junction what's your function.
I'll be hookin' ups verbs and nouns and phrases and clauses as to the causes.
Of misery quizzically 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 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 cosmos because 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 soarin' right to the mood.
I'm a wildflower busting out I go boom.

[Chorus]

My Stoney Baby lyrics - 311

The fish who keeps on swimming.
Is the first to chill upstream.
I want your fish right by me.
That's how it has to be.
The songs I sing they don't mean a thing if you're not there to hear it,
but then soon is the time you'll be by my side.
It's copesetic if you let it so set up and keep the down stream down and up stream up.
Girlfriend boots & all you lookin' fresh again.
Move toward me so I can smell the sweetness of your flesh damn.
Cool down your fine self when I find my way to the wetness of your sweet mouth.

Sweetly in every way that you treat me.
A fish story but you know it's picture perfect.
Our morning glory every time that we wake.
The morning ride is the longest ride take it.

Like this take it like that take a yin and a yang.
It's time to find the kind.
Like my man jack sprat to do down forever it's wetter.
Titillate the flow.
Can't say it any better.
Swimmin' and hummin' with a body and soul.
It's time to find the kind titillate the flow.
Swimmin' and hummin'.
Can't say it any better.
My Stoney Baby.
My Stoney Baby.

And now I'm in here with my friend ruskie.
In their house but they're not home.
If they find out what's been on.
They'll kick us out and we'll be gone.
No pool and that's not too cool.
The songs I sing they don't mean a thing. If you're not there to hear it,
but then soon is the time you'll be by my side.
It's copesetic if you let it so set it up and keep the down stream down and up stream up.

My stoney, my baby, swings with the groovin'. Funk the groovin' thang whistlin'.
As I rip my rhymes.
Time and time again struttin'. And in the summertime.

So screw it strip down and be generic.
Strip down and be a passenger, strip down and be a messenger.
In askin' why I'm borI come up blank in the winter.
In askin' why I'm born I come up on when I'm on her.
My summer his summer it could be one to go down to go down.

It's time to find the kind titillate the flow.
Forever together and then I kiss.
Swimmin' and hummin' with a body and soul.
It's time to find the kind titillate the flow.
Swimmin' and hummin'.
And then I kiss.
My Stoney Baby.
My Stoney Baby.
My Stoney Baby.
My Stoney Baby.

Nix Hex lyrics - 311

Story time
Sways away the haze
They spent contemplating, formulating, theory siring abuse 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 be down with us are thinking Newschool, 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 when I was loaded
And voted the least likely to turn out like us
So I moved to LA
Waiting for the big day
So I knew what to do I didnt have a clue
They tried to tell me it was be them
Or be square big hair with the police (Boy ya)
I knew that shit was nowhere
And now Im with my hometeam
Back with the good scene Im glad and so is Chad
Tell ya what I mean
We're layin back on it just like good sex
Smooth yet physcodelic its called the nix hex
The monolouge of the distant day
Las banderas de san juan piden pa moyon
Go tell it on a mountain
Then again bring a friend
You'll maybe get dizzy with a scene of vertigo
Uplifted soul from the view that I'm nothin but love
But love But love in my blood sonic in the vortex
This is the hip thing It's called the nix hex
Dig it
Word up to Cypress Hill

Plain lyrics - 311

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've done so far
But I carve a niche which sits in my good things brain
Layin' the tracks to Nirvana I wanna mess it up
[Chorus:]
Tabla Rosa is my brain
Don't have to guess just what I'm sayin'
Don't mean to bug or drive you insane
If I had a point, I'd say it plain
Oh, dammit my brain is blank
And now I say it would be a lie If I said
I was inspired by nothin' to say but that's ok
Nod your head to this In a way I'm gettin sick of this
???
I insist its a travesty so sad to see
The scene dictated frustrated former musicians
Switchin' the emphasis from art to money
But man I demand autonomy what else huh?
I tell you what's wrong with me
The industries ability to manufacture stars
They churn them out like Japan makes cars
But the blame lies not with those suits for tryin'
It's the sheep that keep on buyin' 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 easy goin' throwin' down sit back
And watch my life flowin' and knowin' 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
Tabla Rosa is my brain
Don't have to guess just what I'm sayin'
Don't mean to bug or drive you insane
If I had a point, I'd say it plain
Oh, dammit my brain is blank and now I say it would be a lie
If I said I was inspired nothin' to say but that's ok
Nod your head to this
Don't you know the devil is in me
And God she is too
My Yin hits my Yang
But what the heck ya gonna do I choose a rocky ass path
but that's how I like it
Life's a bowl of punch go 'head and spike it

Feels So Good lyrics - 311

Well everybody got opinion that's loud and unbending
I spend my time healing and mending together
It's a question of whether live positive, well I give
P-Nut is a brother that's always got a girlfriend
I say the lyrics that'll put you in a whirlwind
Ese' has the wisdom of a Noble Laureate
I'm down for our days of glory
It's easy to do when you're up with Sexton
A rythmatic genius churnin' out the next one
But you know bro I flow in this circumstance
You'll get your chance

Just take a moment to have a fit once in a while
I do it daily and like it but that's my style, here I go
In your face
Feels so good
In your face
Feels so good

Go Ese'
Trip this get up on the tipness
Don't sweat or let it set once you grab it
Come and get some to have and to flaunt
Know about it know I got the news if you want
I pocket I lock it I sock it your mind I rock it
Shell shocked it maybe I groove dammit I know it
F up the truth that's how I show it
In the half light Ese' sounds Nicks a night light
I'm rappin' he's snappin' on
Something you might like now
Don't frown if I chose to
Cut it up brothers you can't take it with you

[Chorus]

Get this my stream of consciousness is a sea
Much like Bukowski with a rage
Speaking to the page beasts in the cage
Jumping off the stage, diving
Thriving, striving, for a better day Ese'
Beat back by flesh shattered doors
Bragging fists to the sky you're feelin' high
Yes to live and die

[Chorus]

[Additional vocals by Ese' Martinez]

Do You Right lyrics 311



I don't insist I am no fabulist
You can take it take it don't leave it
Just let loose I will tell the truth
I hope you like it, my thoughts all I got

I stare at the curl of your hair
At the stregnth of your charm
I feel like I'd give my left arm
But I'm sure that you've heard this before

And when we spend the night I check if you're alright
How it was, I don't mean to bug
If it ended now I would just think of how
How it was, in love yes in love

[Bridge]

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

You are so good to me I just want to see
That picture of you you gave me
Though it fell out of my pocket
It hangs like a locket in my head
It'll be there til' I'm dead

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Fat Chance lyrics - 311

Na na na na na na
Aw yea I've seen the devil and the devil is coke
Not down like that cuz it ain't a fuckin joke
Trip ther shrooms fantastic
Shit gets drasctic I didn't believe a word
Can you hear this can you hear in the
Make the music soothin' your system
Come on now, come on now
Hear the beat so sweet I shouldn't tell you how
Im a freak yall Im a freak yall
Much love to my man
Stan Thomas
Yea you say like what up to our man
Eddy Offord
Eddy Offord

You know I'm ready, yes to rock steady
My name's not Betty or Teddy, but Nick
And I'm what you might call a heretic
Yes, and I am from Nebraska
My girl is satisfied, you can ask her
You know I've never visited Alaska
Huh, where the oil was spilt
That drunken captain should be killed
For polluting the sea, an atrocity
He still walks free, well
This one goes to all the birds that drown
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down

Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down

Just fuck the bullshit and get with it
It's time to throw down and so I said it words of
Wisdom that will keep you guessing cause
I'm tired of laying and I'm tired of messing around
With all those suckers
Yes, those stupid mother fuckers
Who put down what we do
We stand alone with the group that's new
If I was a dwarf, I'd surely be Dopey
I'm a stone wheat thin you can not culture
Kick in the teeth a condescending frown
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down

Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down

Yeah, right about now I'd like to turn the mic over to my man
SA Martinez

I am sly in the mix I am the mix master
Death and destructor, lyric conductor
Rollin with the rhythm of the rhyme I'm rollin
???
Tim, he leads giutar,he's got the jets
Now the b-boys rockin breakin' moves on the floor
311's stepping out and you're yellin for more
I'm hoping, I'm poetry in motion
When I fire I spray
P-Nut, the bass drum is booming
And in your mouth the rhythm is booming
P to the N to the U to the T

Just fuck the has-been's and their stupid-ass rambling
Brothers saying bullshit you can't come through with
Do it in the basement no complacence
It's time to kick the fuck in
Begin to win no sin and then
Share it, declare it in the public domain
[Refrain]

I'd be perfectly glad if rap was a fad but it's not
So I'd thought I'd come out with a shot
Super dumb lyrics make you think I'm a clown
I don't give a fuck it's time to throw down

Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down

That's right, knockin' them down
Nineties, all of that

album: "Hydroponic" (1992)

Welcome lyrics - 311



Welcome to this groove, you can move right
We gonna take you higher (higher)
Not caught in the quagmire ('mire)
I can't survive on a stupid nine to five
I'd rather be poor, writin' tunes, livin' on a commune
Kickin' it with my brothers (brothers)
And significant others (others)
Life in pursuit of money, uh huh, we think it's funny
The only thing that money it could ever bring for me
Would be some gifts for my friends
Follow me now, trips for my family
The only thing I love is freedom (freedom)
The people around me, I need 'em (I need 'em)
I'd like to buy the world a Coke, but like I said, I said
You could never get me interested in dreams of wealth myself
My birthday happens to land on April 12th... whack

A Coney Island of the mind, it's mine
I swipe the sweets, strip the beats in the sunshine
Loco homes 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 blind mind, find entire minutes
Abstract the tract of sight, day breaking in it
Doles out my share of the world, ocean and sun
Rising with a whirling motion (yeah)

I fought, kicked and screamed my way to getting born
Now I feel worn 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 'til the next homecoming
I like the boogie to the bang bang boogie
Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang, come on

Plain lyrics - 311

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

Tabla Rosa is my brain
Don't mean to bug or drive you insane
Don't have to guess just, just what I'm 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

Messin' around, I'm not having it, you bite the hand I put your head out
I come to know a travesty and so sad to see
The scene dictated by frustrated former musicians
Switchin the emphasis 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, and uh, let me tell you how I see
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

Tabla Rosa is my brain
Don't mean to bug or drive you insane
Don't have to guess just, just what I'm 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

Freak Out lyrics - 311

Get up get up get up and rock it [repeats]

Take out the earth the face is gone

If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
Come on yo come on and rock this
Come on yo come on and rock this
Come on yo come on and rock this
Yeay Into whose womb were you woven
And outta who's womb did you first 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 we
Are rumbling in this cursed universe where death is birth
Think not but what your manifest is worth
Giving up a verse the worse the curse occurs a thirst
To burst first breaking to the center of the universe
Slamming down on the lingo flow so jam to the bumrush single
Long ago has been 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 comin 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 doin'
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
If you don't have someone to do it with it's not worth doin'
This is a heat to flush your face water
This is a heat to flush your face water
This is a heat to flush your face water
This is a heat to flush your face water
Come on freak out

Soul Sucker lyrics - 311

All through the scandal
Of the small town scene
I always handle
You like to think my spirit is weak
I thought you knew, I thought you knew,
It was gonna be this way
I guess I thought that
Cuz I told you nearly every day
I know you're tryin' to suck my soul

Oh
Well I'm sick of the chicks and I'm sick of the bars
I'm sick of the scene, it blows the rock stars
I'm sad, yeah it's getting me mad
Hah, I'm tired of you pulling on me
It makes you look foolish and why can't you see
That it's weak just stand on your feet
Get your arms off my shoulders
And get a little older you
Wait, life's a creep it's a good life with me so take me
But you cannot, cannot suck my soul, no
Check it out

Well, the soulsuckers must be circumnavigated
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigated
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigated
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigated

But I promise you, I promise you
I will do what I want to anyway
You're out of luck
Cuz the souls that you suck
You're nothin so I say
Make peace with me cuz
I'm sure that you'll see that its
No big deal to me
I wish you the best
Move on and test without me
Or someone like me
Cuz you cannot suck my soul

Oh
Well you know the time
You always are tryin'
To clip your wings
And make you not flyin'
It's lame, its always the same
It's human instinct, to criticize
It's takes mental dexterity too keep open eyes
It's true it happened to you
It's sad to be talkin'
While others do the walkin to the promised land
The way that you creep
Makes you look like a leech. so tell me
But you cannot, cannot suck my soul no, no

Cuz the soulsuckers must be circumnavigated
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigated
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigated
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigated
Check it out
The soulsuckers must be circumnavigated

Nix Hex lyrics - 311

Story time sways away the haze
They spent contemplating, formulating
Theory searing above me swimming
Payin' 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
Walkin' and talkin' low down and evil
Follow me now, yo vato, the nix hex is on

Would everybody just look at the hook
I took it straight 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 a square

But then I moved to L.A.
Waitin' for my big day
Thought I knew what to do
But I didn't have a clue
They tried to tell me it was be there
Or be square with big hair but please (booyah)
I knew that shit was nowhere
And now I'm with my home team
Back with my good scene
I'm glad and so is Chad
Tell ya what I mean
We're layin' back on it just like good sex
Smooth yet psychedelic it's called the nix hex

The monologue of a distant dog
Las banderas de san juan piden pa lord it's on
Go tell it on a mountain and bring a friend
You'll maybe get dizzy with a sense 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

Word up to Cypress Hill

Today My Love lyrics - 311

Here I sit in idle envy
T.V. show still holds me in
Thin steel creases my ???
Begging till the end

And then it hits me
And then I see, then I see
Today my love, we shall let the world slide
For we, will never be
Younger again

Well, I'm tired of the ladies and the stupid excuses
Sitting on my ass makes me feel useless
Earth accelerate, hurry up and turn that's right
I'm starting to burn

Well I get kinda mad like a ??? crawdad
It's time to throw down, too bad so sad
Don't step to me when things don't go as you planned
No, I don't give a damn

And then it hits me
And then I see, then I see
Today my love, we shall let the world slide
For we, will never be
Younger again, younger again
Younger again, younger again

It's easier to hurt than heal
Hipocrites they make me ill
Young men yearn to turn the tables
That too is a sin

And then it hits me
And then I see, then I see
Today my love, we shall let the world slide
For we, will never be
Younger again

We all look to the end of a certain social stress
I'm down for that day, but don't forget the progress
Of wakening things up the passion understanding
Here's to the youth who aren't afraid to put a hand in

And then it hits me
And then I see, then I see
Today my love, we shall let the world slide
For we, will never be
Younger again, younger again
Younger again, younger again

Slinky lyrics - 311

I was at this club minding my tea
I saw this fine young thing so I thought that I would see
I don't smoke but I asked her for a cigarette
I know it's lame but I haven't got a better one yet
You guess the rest I'm not the type to fess
I sing this song because I tell you she's the best

That slinky girl is in my brain
Now I'll never be the same
No one can ever see
What that slinky girl means to me

So I'll just pretend
But I feel like

Mackadocious she's sweet and precocious
She's the one girl that I just dig, love, yes I'm not above this
You think that's wack then bro you lack
You bore me that macho crap makes me snore, see, me,
I'm all about the females, the women, the jewels of this world
Those flowers like that slinky girl

[Chorus]

Well I met her one night I'd seen her before
She stole my brain then showed me the door
Girls that do me like that there's not many
But I've met one, that's plenty
I'm glad to say that she gets her way
She can move me and that's okay
Has the power to turn paper inky
The girl has me and she's so

[Chorus]

Feels So Good lyrics - 311

Well everybody got opinion that's loud and unbending
I spend my time healing and mending together
It's a question of whether live positive, well I give
P-Nut is a brother that's always got a girlfriend
I say the lyrics that'll put you in a whirlwind
SA has the wisdom of a Nobel Laureate
I'm down for our days of glory
It's easy to do when you're up with Sexton
A rythmatic genius churnin' out the next one
But you know young bro I flow in this circumstance
You'll get your chance

Just take a moment to have a fit once in a while
Ya Know
I do it daily and like it but that's my style, here I go
In your face
Feels so good
In your face
Feels so good

Go SA
Trip this, yeah, get up on the tipness
Don't sweat it or let 'em set once you grab it
Come and get some to have and to flaunt
I know about it, know I got the news if you want
I pocket, I lock it, I sock it, your mind I rock it
Shell-fucking-shocked as well, maybe I groove and dammit I know it
Fucking up the truth, that's how I show it
In the half light, SA sounds, Nick's a night light
I'm rappin', he's snappin' on
Something you might like now
Don't frown if I choose to
Cut it up brothers you can't take it with you

Just take a moment to have a fit once in a while
Ya know, ya know
I do it daily and like it but that's my style, here I go
In your face
Feels so good
In your face
Feels so good

Go P-Nut, beat that thing

Eh, get this, my stream of consciousness is a sea
Much like Bukowski with a rage
Speaking to the page, beasts in the cage
Jumping off the stage, diving
Thriving, striving, for a better day SA

Beat back by flesh shattered doors
Bragging fists to the sky, you're feelin' high
Yes to live and die

Just take a moment to have a fit once in a while
Ya know, ya know, ya know
I do it daily and like it but that's my style, here I go
In your face
Feels so good
In your face
Feels so good

Do You Right lyrics - 311

I don't insist, I am no fabulist
You can take it, take it, don't leave it yeah
Just let loose cuz I will tell the truth
I hope you like it, my thoughts all I got

I stare at the curl of your hair
At the strength of your charm
I feel like I'd give my left arm
But I'm sure that you've heard this before

And when we spend the night, I check if you're alright
How it was, I don't mean to bug
If it ended now, I would just think of how
How it was, in love, yes, in love

I stare at the curl of your hair
At the strength of your charm
I feel like I'd give my left arm
But I'm sure that you've heard this before

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

You are so good to me, I just want to see
That picture of you you gave me
Though it fell out of my pocket
It hangs like a locket in my head
It'll be there 'til I'm dead

I stare at the curl of your hair
At the strength of your charm
I feel like I'd give my left arm
But I'm sure that you've heard this before

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

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, do you, do you, do you, do you

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

Fuck The Bullshit lyrics - 311

You know I'm ready, yes to rock steady
My name's not Betty or Teddy, but Nick
And I'm what you might call a heretic
Yes, and I am from Nebraska
My girl is satisfied, you can ask her
Uh, you know I've never visited Alaska
Huh, where the oil was spilt
That drunken captain should be killed
For polluting the sea, an atrocity
That fucks with me, well
This one goes to all the birds that drown
Fuck the bullshit, it's time to throw down

Fuck the bullshit, it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit, it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit, it's time to throw down

Yo fuck the bullshit and get with it
It's time to throw down and so I said it
Words of wisdom that will keep y'all guessing 'cause
I'm tired of playing and I'm tired of messing around
With all y'all suckers
Yes, stupid mother fuckers
Who put down what I do
I stand alone with the group that's new
Like now that you know that the rhymes that I say
Are mine alone and I sure you don't play
I kick in the teeth, the condescending frown
Fuck the bullshit, it's time to throw down

Fuck the bullshit, it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit, it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit, it's time to throw down

Yeah, right about now I'd like to turn over the rap to my mentor
SA Martinez

I'm sly, Nickolai, he know why
Get this kid high, I'm gonna fly
Fly out of this one and into the next
With authority of all the words to connect
Go on hold it, I'm poetry in motion
No jokin' you pray, my line is spoken
The latest, the bravest of hip-hop persuaders
A line or rhyme that always amazes brothers
The mic drum is loomin'
And in your mind, my rap-rhyme is bloomin' like a flower
Fuck the Bullshit, P-Nut, talk shit with your...

Just fuck the has-beens and their stupid-ass rappin'
Promising 'em bullshit they can't come through with
Do it in the basement, no complacent
It's time to kick the fuck in
Begin to win no sin and then
Share it, declare it in the public domain
Refrain

I'd be perfectly sad if rap was a fad but it's not
So I'd thought that I'd give it a shot
Stupid dumb lyrics make you think I'm a clown
I don't give a fuck, it's time to throw down

Fuck the bullshit, it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit, it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit, it's time to throw down
Fuck the bullshit, it's time to throw down

Summer Of Love lyrics - 311

I thought about my scene today
And I've finally got the words to say
The truth is cutting like a knife
Gonna use it to cut away my strife
The grass is green and the sky is blue
My head is clear and my thoughts are true, yeah
That's what I'm sayin'

Callin' out young and old
We got a thing that can't be sold, yeah
The time that takes to rise above
In the summer of love

It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say yeah

I wake up each day to the sun
And it's hard to chose what to do for fun (and man that's a drag)
A blissful world surrounds me
And my brothers and sisters love is always free
Oh, don't you know that I've waited my whole life just to show
What's inside and let my love flow, yeah
That's what I'm sayin'

Callin' out young and old
We got a thing that can't be sold, yeah
The time that takes to rise above
In the summer of love

It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say

The colors blend down the prism divide, (boom)
We get chance turn the prism inside
Said the colors blend down the prism divide, (come along)
We get chance turn the prism inside
We can't say we came from the sun
We can't see, we came from the sun
This is the summer of unity, uh-oh
I riggity dance so gimme a chance
To take off my pants and play
I take up the time to make up a rhyme
And give me the sign to say
Happy and tasteful with crystals in sight
I choose that race we kick down, right
The colors blend down the prism divide, (boom)
We get chance turn the prism inside
Said the colors blend down the prism divide, (come along)
We get chance turn the prism inside
Oh, I say by the power vested in me
It is the summer of love, oh

It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say
It's the summer, it's the summer, it's the summer of love I say yeah

I said it's the summer of love
My head is clear
And my thoughts are true

Unity lyrics - 311

Even if I cared to try, I, 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 that
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, that's right

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 in 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' hometeam
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, come on

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
Steppin' and goin' and lyin' and cryin'
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

Damn! lyrics - 311

[Nick's intro]

Yo, word up, I'm talkin' to you
Makin' dope rhymes, that's what I do
Like a madman, you know I'm bad, man
I slam, a good goddamn

Well I concur so goddamn badly
I could just sit and sing the blues
But instead I'll make a fist, yeah
And make my own bad news, yeah

Take my advice
You'll pay the price
Make it funky like this
Good god
Damn

Yo, what else is dissin' me
That's right, it's pissin' me off
Rock me baby? What?
You don't mean that crap
What the hell, if it sells
Damn, you're a sham,
No thank you, ma'am, bitch

Oh, I get burned badly
I could just sit and sing the blues
But instead I'll make a fist, yeah
Make my own good news, yeah

Take my advice
You'll pay the price
Make it funky like this
Good goddamn
I tell you what
Alles klar
Hey

Down South lyrics - 311

Let me take you down south
Hear it from the dover's mouth
The rhythm will make you want to move your body
I had it once and never ever forgot it
Feel the rhythm of rhapsody
Your body moves in raw ecstasy
Explosive eruption beyond compare

Take my advice don't think twice
Let me take you way down south

Step back cuz the funk is here and
The base is kickin' straight to your ear man
Because it's like that so don't talk back
And if you do then you're gonna get the back slap
Down south that's an enigma
But to you it's a stupid dumb stigma
That's right it's outta sight

Let me tell you 'bout my baby
She loves me don't mean maybe
She knows what I think and I don't have to say it
I love her so I don't have to play it
We sit and drink in the sun
I raise my glass and say she's the one
Cool breeze light squeeze life

Take my advice don't think twice
Let me take you way down south

Step back I'm about to get hectic
Chalk it up as another dialectic
Hard like a jam
Smooth like a ballad
Call it what you want but I call it sound salad
A salad grown in the garden of Eden
Seekin' out pleasures like my boys in Sweden
That's right the grooves tight like
Sit back just relax, let your mind unwind
Pull your good thing close, let tranquility surround
Psychedelic freak out taco funk frolic
Grind fiend roots 'core soul music what have you

Step back and think about the topic of this song
Strong innuendo end over end goes your brain
I won't say it's plain figure it out here's a clue
It's about winding, grinding, finding that spot
That get's her hot the joy of giving pleasure
Is beyond measure

Rollin lyrics - 311

Rollin', windows down, kickback trollin'
I'm holdin' and foldin', see no cold in the streets
Dirty looks - huh - we think it's funny
The workin' class squares scrounge up all the money
But we're coolin' in the middle of June
I'm gettin' girls, gettin' lit and I'm making up tunes
Believe that boy I'll bet I'll bet I'm trollin'
Just lookin' for some trouble and we rollin'

Now I'm a tell a tale to you straight
Gonna tell you a story
It's not a fairy tale and it gets a little gory
It happened one night when tequila was full
We were walkin' to my car unaware unknowin'
I stepped up crossed the street in no hurry
And what happens next - it gets a little blurry
This chump nearly hits me in a green pinto
So I threw my bottle BANG!
It broke his window
He screeched to a halt, jumped out of his car
I stepped straight to him, gonna make him see stars, yes
The situation was going to explode
Thought I should give him a warning, said ya better hit the road
I knew it would be easy if I tagged him first
So I cracked him in the face all of the sudden with a burst
I hit him with a right then a left didn't land
But he turned his head and I broke my hand

Whatcha gonna do?
Do whatcha gonna

I got a cast on my hand and the girls think I'm a jerk
I can't play my bass and I can't go to work
This is a true story, it all did happen
Better bet I regret that moment of scrappin'
Been two years now since this all took place
I learn from being stupid, I learn from my mistakes
And now I'm livin' peace, edifyin' and trollin'
Can't say it wasn't fun in those days of rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin'

Right Now lyrics - 311

(And I) I notice the tapestries on the wall as well
(And I) I stand up and hit my head on the mobile
(And you) And you look around too
(And we) Time passes easily

I've opened up my mind
So you can step inside
You could expect to find
A scenic ride

Pointyhead pizzeria perfect penetration
Mezcal cuts off my brain communication
Belligerence, lost my intellegence
Talk a mess like shut up and listen to me
Because cuttin' through the crap is my specialty
Like a bomb I'm droppin' yes, a ton of lead
You're tryin' to figure out the last thing I said
I'm a Redwood, I love to be a tree, yes I'm a Druid
My words they're flowin' out like a fluid
Never give in, never conform
I'll be bustin' out rhymes in a triplet form
Right now, right now, right now

(In another room) I sit and contemplate
(That winter night) My words were filled with hate
(In second sight) I should have known my fate
(But it's alright) Now we're in a different state

I've opened up my mind
So you can step inside
You can expect to find
A scenic ride

Expiate, to make amends for hostilities
It's easy to see that for me, in reality
I'm not one of those fools
With an ecclesiastical whitewash
To set my ethical standards
You'll never catch me lookin' to Ann Landers
Or Moses or the law or even Buddha
If there's one thing I know
It's always be true to myself
And learn from experience
Educated by nights of violence, trips to jail,
Broken knuckles and friendships
But that gives me the power to write a groove that rips
Right now, right now, right now
I am, I am supposed to be, I am, damn

C.U.T.M. lyrics - 311

I got the funk on two
I got the funk on two
Pick it up

Hexum, Sexton, Mahoney and Wills
We groove so fuckin' hard it gives you the chills
Well I've been stricken
The bass is kickin'
When suckers step to me, boy, I give them a lickin', go

[Chorus]
Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, my baby
Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, my baby

I feel good
Yo bad self

Well though I am the Hexum, call me Nick
And I live by the code of cosmic
I've come to say, we're here to stay
Utopian way we'll play today, yeah
We've got the drive, we are so live
Won't take a dive, we're gonna thrive
We got a condition called ambition
To the cosmic utopian thrivin' mission

[Chorus]

Witness this, yo the pissed lyricist
In your face celebratin' a brand new race
We know colors are just brothers and some others
Drive on the ginger but they failed to mention
The consequence of no conscience
You can't fool, I'm schoolin' you with the new school now
Speakin' on a round, step back mother fucker, I'm goin' to town

[Chorus]

I feel good
Break it down

I got one more rhyme
Yes, the verbs I got
They hit that spot
The crowd is freakin'
And bro, I'm peakin'
When I'm on stage, you're havin' a fit
But without my brothers, baby, I ain't shit, let's go

[Chorus]

Make it, make it like this
Gimme one

Oh, I get burned badly

Make my own good news, yeah

Take my advice
You'll pay the price
Make it funky like this
Good goddamn
I tell you what

This Too Shall Pass lyrics - 311

I don't jones for nothing
'Cause that's a waste
Waste of space in my frontal lobe and
I just sit, deal with it, don't have a fit
Do you know what I'm saying?

I just get as down as I can
Don't look to relief from a troubled young man
Just take a piece
Sometimes it sucks

Oh I'm not too sure if I can do this on my own guys
Like I'm thinking maybe we should form a support group
Or perhaps a church-sponsored youth group

Oh and then then I say
I looked the other way
I changed my point of view
And here's what I do

This too shall pass
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
This..
All the good times, all the bad times
Face it bro, they all will pass

Your problems will seem inconsequential and trivial
When you realize one thing
We're just a speck of dirt on this golf ball called Earth
So get stupid insane

And then I feel stupid for saying it in
the first place
Cause this ain't no pussies anonymous, right Chad?
That's right
Chad says no
So... fuck it up

And didn't then I say
I looked the other way
I changed my point of view
And here's what I do

This song has passed
So put that in your pipe and smoke it
