  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 stalk a bird you heard absurd word to the Fact
  I'm a cat nippin sippin on the flask
  Passin it talking shit but only if your ass
  In front of me cause you could run from me but
  In the end revenge send ends to the defendant
  I can't get get caught in the spiral cause 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
  I've been insane
  And I won't ever be the same
  Cuz we flow we must be fly
  First to flow Nickel my brother, so wise
  And then I rise
  Here's an ill kid pimpin' cuz he is so slick
  Step's from darkness his body electric
  A drone buzzes the air a cracklin' tone
  Then boomin' like thunder in a cosmic jungle
  Deathe defyin; like Knievel he weeble
  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 fresh eternal alien
  Now famished from pathless way I ma, do damage
  To the wack MC's I know you can't stand this
  Right about now get down I'm the annihilator
  Rockin with the rhythm of my rhyme detonator
 
 
   Lucky
 
 
  I'm takin' 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 itme 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'ma magician you see I'm christened with condition
  Held over from a future would 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 fly guy you know I'm smoother
  Of course no remorese is felt for all those 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 promist to get clean
  Won't kick half dead fucked up in the head
  Just get him out of here he's making me sick
  We push a sucker out
  With much force and much clout
  Didn't want to do it
  Thats not what were about
  But we got to have a limit
  How low can you get it
  Seems about time to
  Change the subject
  And sing about the wise eyed
  That makes me feel
  Good and never do
  I leave misunderstood
  Damn you know I feel good true
  I got a choice of what I'm gonna do It's like this that
  Swingin on my bat
  Mix a melody with some back chat
  Tell 'em again
  Dam I know you feel good too
  You got a choice of what you're gonna do it's like this that
  Nippin' on a cat
  Mix a melody with some back chat
  I'm rollin' slow no particular place to go so nothings changed
  The more things stay the same the more it doesn't matter
  To a latte day St. Bernard acting hard
  But I throw down like a crazy retard
  But what cold make a man
  Wanna walk around the school yard with his tool hard
  What could make the switch to call a woman a bitch
  It probably downed when you couldn't get a date to the prom
  And you were stuck with Beavis
  Let's 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
  Every night yeah we turning up
  And comin' off live
  Like and final 311 battle breakin idols
  On the one you never heard before
  You know the hardcore rockin
  Pumping the dance floor
  Leave ya feet sore lookin for your Micatin
  Cecause the mic is deadly int he mood we in
  Certified not fakin coool like a Jamaican
  Every time the enemy hear us they will be shakin'

  The cold funk has you sunk feel the mids pump
  Blessed are those who erupt when we turm up
  Right now we corrupt
  Cons the shades we don in the neon night
  We're gonna feed on the mics and blast through a pipe
  I gotta feed on the mics and blast through a pipe
  I gotta 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 bring and swing
  Men from Mars aint ever gonna hang
  With dope Buddha's come to the stage we are attackin
  Space assassin naked live and never slackin
  Come a day on the way enter on S.A.
  Amplified form another world far away
  I got the pang of a gang and I come from the Southside
  Here's the thang that I bring and I promise to come live
  While the masses passes upon there fucking asses
  And if you don't see get glasses
  That is a shot out to the words of Curt Grubb
  The motherfucker is not scrub I said the man is the kind
  With the one that I call Brine Shrimp
  We nover ever do skimp I limp on a stage in a huff
  Like magic dragon I puff on the stuff of a Humbolt cone
  Then I'm stonded watch out
  Smoke the weed that come from Northern California
  Don't do no cocaine that come from Columbia
  That the thing that mash up your nature
  Mash up your body and mash up your culture
  Take a tip from the the flipped script of Daddy Freddy
  I give complete props to the one that rocks steady
  With dexterity and goes on and on and on
  And turn out the dope shit like the one that's called
  Pawn Shop Press yes it's on what's up
  P-Nut change it up
 
 
    8:16 A.M.
 
 
  Stranger flowers yet
  There will never come a day that 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 see
  I got so many ways to make your gaze elliptical
  Got a ways to go future's so
  Criptical 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
  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 a fell of impermanent bliss
  Today my love we shall let the world slide
  Turn off the ringer and just glide
  For we shall never be youger again than
  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
  A place where we both can spend out saved time
  Not collecting interest
  Maybe the same reason we always find ourselved home bound
  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
 
  In a minute everything you have can all be straight gone
  In a minute things you though 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
  The dreams they had make me sad because of the vides 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 let you know that I said
  We're coming in kill we're coming chill
  We've comin in how we will
  Gone to tell the whole world what's the deal
  And I say know no critical boarder cuz
  We do what we want
  Got more funky styles that 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
  Omaha stylee did not think there was one
  Where you know the radios weak and the shows are more fun
  But you know we fuck up the dance since 1988
  Many did not think when they hear that we come from this state
  Still we're down like that x3
  Makin the funk that smells of skunk
  Such occasions occur back in the day
  It begins you're a raw kid all the way
  Son of a gun but they you drifted
  All are endowed but few are gifted
  At the break of dawn behaving like a spy
  Lampin in the light the cold world awakens
  Deeper is the light to open up the sky
  Look into my eyes see the dialatin'
  Omaha Stylee is the shit we come with man
  Embedded in out souls it breathes out from this band We always knew that we could
  Thank you if you too felt we would
  We will arise explore these worlds and find the grass roots
  How to crew to do the grinding of the grounds to brew
  My dude on the one come off like Teflon
  Rock your shit and you will rise on
  If you're a farmer outstanding in your field say
  Do as you eill do as you wish follow your bliss say
  We travel round the world giving it our best
  Like to see the people dancing and bouncing and the rest
  The hammer and the chisel and the rule it compass
  We forged the sword chariots of war our battle axe
  There's much power in anger but loves a bigger banger
  Complete props to my crew this is what we do
 
 
  Applied Science
 
 
  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 delition of suckers
  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
  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 C. 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
 
 
Taiyed
 
 
  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
 
 
  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
 
  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
 
 
  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 gonna wanna try this but it takes niceness
  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
 
  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
 
  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
 
  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
 
  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
