311 - What was I thinking Lyrics

The word that I heard was so absurd }
I can’t believe it slipped from my lips }
The tongue with which it was sung was so dumb } (2x)
I wish to pull it from my skull }

What the fuck was I thinking (8x) }

311 - Use of Time Live Lyrics
As time begins to burn itself upon me
And the days are growing very short
People try their hardest to reject me
But in a way, their conscience won’t be caught

Something’s happening to me day by day
My pebble on the beach is getting washed away
I’ve given everything that was mine to give
And now I’ll turn around and find that there’s no time to live

So often I have seen that big wheel of fortune
Spinning for the man who holds the ace
There’s many who would change their places for him
But none of them have ever seen his lonely face

311 - Homebrew Live Lyrics
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 ass
in front of me cause you could run from me but
in the end revenge send ends to the defendant
I cant 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
oh, I’ve been insane
and I wont 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
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 Knievel he weeble
words that will wobble awkwards 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 ways I’ma do damage
to the wack MC’s I know you cant 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 wont ever be the same

311 - Seal the deal Lyrics

Now that I know what it’s like to fall freely
I can taste blood for the ones who I envy
trying to make it right, they won’t catch me
now that I know, just watch what I’ll do

Watch me break
watch me gently breakin’ both our hearts
watch me gently breakin’
watch me gently breakin’ our hearts

[ chorus ]
Now that I’ve sealed the deal
I don’t know how to feel
now that I know that it’s for real
just how am I supposed to feel?

What do you do when your mind won’t reconcile
with the thing you are wanting to part by a mile
trying to make them right like a sonnet
neither one will give in so I’m down from it

Watch me fake
watch me fakin’ that I know just what to do
watch me plainly fakin’
meanwhile I’ve got a stake in a heart

[ chorus x2 ]

311 - Freak Out Live Lyrics
Let the games begin if you wanna fuck with me
You can’t disturb the course of p & c & t & d & me
I’m on a mission
To set straight
The vice, the curse, the date, the gate relate
To this. i insist b it’s weak to dis see i’m runna up so suckers stick to your
40
How could i give a damn, give a damn if you approve what it’s about. i
Just freak out

Just guess ya’ll c’mon come back slipped outta whack as the master. laid
Out the music

Death i just say fuck you, the void unknown we’re thrown through while
Lost in life’s psychedelic trip we take
There’s another more bizarre we have to make
World we have nowhere beyond
Take out the earth the bass is gone
At life’s end we’ll feel the calm
How strange we should be here at all

Chorus:
If you don’t have someone to do it with it’s not worth doin’
To all my friends, it’s not the end the earth has not swallowed me yet

Into whose womb were you woven what kin of your skin dropped you
Then
Bodies cloven
Light of daybreak blinded next exit
The wild darkness forming inside it
My day wasn’t promised me each death it brings reminding me we
Are rumbling through this cursed universe where death is birth
Think not but what your manifest is worth
Giving up a verse the curse occurs a thirst
To burst first breaking through the center of the universe
Slamming down on the lingo flow so jam to the bumrush single
Long ago has 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

Chorus
This is the heat to flush your face

311 - Jupiter Lyrics
Sometimes the only thing that saves you
think of bad things luck never gave you
and although true love has just left you
well at least you mother kept you

be sure that a dreams alive
there only short burst in life
are you able to be satsfied
do you expect fun all the time

hey we can rock it easy and lay it in the fold
hey we can shake you simply just by being cold
and if it falls apart will you still be my friend
get back we’re gonna stick together

and so many things that have gone wrong
at least you have ears to hear this song
and if you reading in close caption
there’s still bad things that could have happened

long time since we’ve first came here
and sometimes we fall on deaf ears
one thing i’ve got to say before sales die
stay positive and love your life

311 - Large in the margin Lyrics
Large in the margin
My drama unfolds behind closed doors
Told on the down low
I believe that I’m sold
But really I don’t know
Maybe it’s better but I can’t think so
Maybe it’s better to fight
One never ever know
Believe the rumors that grow like tumors
It’s more fun than the truth that we know
Trying to hard to reach a higher plain

Will fuck you up
When you least expect it
You think you’re moving closer
When suddenly you wrecked it
But all the same the pain gains wisdom
As if you ain’t had enough
Then you’re in some
Prison of your own creation mental dilation
Look at what you’re facing
Placing blame in every direction
But in the end it’s your own infection

There’s no way to avoid listening
You’ll always end up listening
Here’s hoping the voices aren’t too unkind
Here’s hoping the voices are benign
It’s easier when you hear it
There’s no reason to fear it
Its you
You

You think they’ll probably find you
Well then, you’re probably right
Cuz they’ll come back to remind you for eternity
Of when you gave up the fight
Somehow they always will find you
The voices in the night, every night
Keep coming back to remind you for eternity
Of when you gave up the fight

There’s no way to avoid listening
You’ll always end up listening
Here’s hoping the voices aren’t too unkind
Here’s hoping the voices are benign
It’s easier when you hear it
There’s no reason to fear it
Its you
You

311 - Reconsider Everything Lyrics
How many times will they do the same thing?
How do they get programmed to your following?
Everyone’s locked up in this upper ring
The only way you can tell is reconsider everything

what if the truth that there is no truth
The only thing I can prove is there is no proof
Don’t be so sure that your source is correct
People believe it before. before they had checked.

How many times can they tell you ‘till you just give them their way?
How many times can sell you
til you let them have their say.
everytime you will ignore your
heart it will come back twice more,
never deny your own instinct,
reconsider everything

Everybody wants something to control
Some just want grass, some; they want gold.
Either way, does it feel good or feel low
taking you down. not fast but real slow.

rebellion done for its own sake
does not a true free thinker make
to go against for its own sake
your still controlled by the course that the other man takes.

Reconsider Everything x8

311 - Crack The Code Lyrics
I want the words
something you haven’t heard
will I find them and
will I have what it takes to say them
in the world beside
this one there are no lies and
no suspicion
only dreams without end

You gotta feel what I mean
Look into my eyes and know
I’m trying to come clean
But I stumble every time
And then the words they escape
fail to take shape
It’s all in the code now (come again)

Feel what I mean
Look into my eyes and know
I’m trying to come clean
But I stumble every time
And then the words they escape
fail to take shape
It’s all in the code now

Will you let me retract let me take it back
Sometimes my words lack and my mind flies off the track
What I’m trying to convey is miles from what I say
And you slip away

In life there are times
when nothing will rhyme
there are days I slip
when I know I should climb
breakin’ the vows I swore I’d never break
a harsh word a white lie easy to mistake
where have you been
haven’t you noticed
there’s no map that exists
to point us out of this
my heart was the target
it found your arrow
baby you know I want to be
your straight and narrow

I been trying to transmit a feeling
I been hoping you receive what I’m revealing
See the main thing is hang with me and relate
As we communicate watch out
Fenced in like a dog between houses
Balled up by the trouble my mouth gets
Wrapped up in the things that I don’t know
don’t you know
Hoping that you crack the code oh

The first to crack the code
(You may not think I’m ready to have your love again) oh oh
(You may not think I’m ready)
You are the first to crack my code

I want the words
something you haven’t heard
will I find them and
will I have what it takes to say them

You gotta gotta feel what I mean
Look into my eyes and know
I’m trying to come clean
But I stumble every time
And then the words they escape
fail to take shape
It’s all in the code now

Didn’t I know I’m wrong wrong wrong when you knew
You didn’t have to give me so long long long to see through
Not predictable what I will do but you know
Cause you cracked the code

Your body is a country
that you know I’ll return to
craving like a family heirloom
that I am into
no baby how could I follow
everything you do
just remember when we touch
I feel so renewed

The first to understand me that would be you
It can’t work if we can’t be open and true
The best thing to happen to me let it be told
That would be the moment that you cracked my code oh oh

The first to crack the code
(You may not think I’m ready to have your love again) oh oh
(You may not think I’m ready)
You are the first to crack my code

311 - Nix Hex Lyrics
Story time
Sways away the haze
They spent contemplating, formulating, theory siring above me swimming
Pay tribute to the few we look up to
Come again
You my soul fool
Who will know us but our brothers
Those who down with us are thinking
New school, tip top, pound the feeble
Walking and talking
Low down and evil
Follow me now
Yo Vato
The nix hex is on

Would everybody just look at the hook
I took it strait from my brain
Reminds me of the time I was insane
And so I wrote it when I was loaded
And voted the least likely to turn out like a square

I’m singing it for your mind and no
I’m singing it for your ears
Jump up and down and leave the ground and know that’s why your here
And they say down diggey down down, down diggey diggey down,stronger, longer
Line up your ways of know what I’m thinking say it again

And now I’m with my home team back with a good seat
I gladwick like chadwick to tell you what I mean
Were laying back on it just like good sex
Smooth yet physcodelic its called the nix hex-um

The monologue of a singalong
Las banderas de san juan piden pa ?????
“I’m feelin’ fine, lord it’s time”????? Go tell it on a mountain ,then again bring a friend
You’ll maybe get dizzy with a scence of vertigo

Uplifted soul from the view that I’m on nothin’ but love
But love
But love in my blood sonic in the vortex
This is the hip thing
Called the nix hex
Dig it

Begin
Come see me now come see me now baby
Come see me now come see me now aye
Come see me now come see me now Baby
Come see me now come see me now

I’m wickedy wild I need to put down
I come without a wreck so let’s get
I’m wickedy wild I need to put down
I come without a wreck so let’s get down

I want to make some music in this country
And I am the rhythm missionary with the melody
Wait a minute, just a minute
Yes yes time to rhyme and shine now rip it rip

Jump up and down cause that’s the 311 style
Cruise on by the frowners, float follow me now with a smile
I got a golden ticket not gonna even pick it
I heard it he said it I heard it but it we but it went something like

The rhythm will make you want to move your body
I had it once and never ever forgot it

311 - Hive Live Lyrics
Coming like a nightmare word like I’m gonna go for it
Fuckin’ around what yagot to show for it?
Let it be know that I’m in the zone
And whatever I need Ijust pick up the phone
‘Cuz I’m true with it and you’re new with it I just swingthe thing
and then I’m through with it I don’t need friends to act like foes
‘Cuz I’m Nick Hexum the one who knows about things
‘Cuz it takes two and weswings better than you
Then it’s time for the dub so we roll out the club
And you know just what I do I’m hitting in the freak mode
Puttin’ on a load sippin’on a guinny
Then lo and behold una vision from bottom to top
And I just can’tstop 311 show them the air is rarified
But you don’t give a damn ‘cuz the grooveis hellafied
Grew up punk, listening to funk I’m a hyper type
of fella that doesnot touch junk
You’re the back of the pack and the bottom of the stack
That’swaht you get when you’re steady talkin’ shit
Not goin’ for self that shit is onthe shelf
It’s 95 and we go for the hive
Listen up this you’re gonna bump tothis
And if I’m feelin’ mean I’m gonna clutch my fist
Now when I say mean, Imean I’m gonna rock it
You’re gonna find out kid I’m bout to shock it
When I’mon I’m gone I hear the beat that spawns
The way we freak it and we kick up astorm
The day we turn to pop the show will stop
So feel the beat and get lostnow
Back to part 2 the hard way we play
Sublime on time to all the fans I’m
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/jiK ]
SAAnd if you don’t know I say check the show
Do what you got to on the dance floor
Some say the style is wack but I say fuck that
Get the hell back and watch usrock the set
We cast the mold bust it cold explode
Megatrendsetters known aroundthe globe
Friends takin’ you where you never been
We done what we wantedcraftin’ poems
You can rock there is a glow around you
Lose control holmes justlike we do
Hard to obtain brotha’ what’s my name
Mad to find unlike ya mamma andyour masquerade I drive a mach-
1 no dashboard Jesus I hear voices say that’s Doug Martinez
You’re all up in my mix like fuckin’ Betty Crocker
You thinkyou’re playing me but actually you’re a jocker
You bad mouth me bitch man yougivin me juice
It aint nothin’ but a party everybody get loose
Notice what Idon’t do when stress steps to me
Whatever your complaint so sue me I say
fuckthe naysayers and keep goin
Gotta do what I gotta do to get the people glowin’
So let everybody gather the more the better
I represent the traveler him
he’s ashredder
At ease with yourself and don’t try to please me
I’m just here todaythen quickly I’m out
On the town one light I’m a glow worm
For several hourswiggle jiggle like I’m a huge sperm
Can’t appreciate a brothers love of funkymusic
You think I’m a silly rabbit ‘cuz my style has tricks
Of the way I feelnow I just got to rock
The music be poppin through me like electric shocks Ithink
and blink and I wink but that shits not tiny
‘Cuz in a blink of an eyelashyou will not find me
You’re the back of the pack and the bottom of the stack
That’s what you get when you’re steady talkin’ shit
Not goin’ for self that shitis on the shelf
‘Cuz it’s 95 and we go for the hive

311 - Beyond the grey sky Lyrics

It is a gift I know
A moment of bliss that we hold
A firecracker flash of light then on
To the next plane soul remain
Come along if you dare
It’s gonna be that you’re scared
Lovely life I thank you
For the reason to see the pain through
Light a candle for the dead
The wick is burning returning what we have
It’s who we are
We’ll reach you if you’re beyond the furthest star
Don’t give up the fight to stay alive and even if
you have to
Find the reason of another’s pain if they lose you
If not for your self then those around who care
like I do
One day you’ll see the clear blue
Beyond the Gray Sky
Light a candle…
The wick…
It’s who we are…
One day youill see the clear blue
Beyond the Gray Sky

I can’t believe you didnit call
What made you want to end it all
Wasn’t there something I should have tried
To help you see beyond the gray sky

311 - Prisoner Lyrics
Whoa oh prisoner
My pretty oh oh prisoner

A black ocean is the sky above
Tiny lights bob what star you from

Trapped in material plane
She wants to fly and they think she’s insane
But she knows what she know
Give that girl wings and that’s all she wrote

Twilight zone (2x)
I’m floating in the dark alone and
Is there any love out here let me know

A laser lights pinpoints the top of my dome
Then through my body
As if Scotty’s beaming up a wayward soul
Mutant races in an ancient universe
Dark shadows humans rhymin’ in a raggae verse

It’s gone if you blink
I can see it as soon as you think it

Dancehalls crystal balls
On sidewalk malls
Psychic people outdoors reading palms

I believe that you know more
To survive the dimension if four

Oh prisoner
My pretty oh oh prisoner

Look at the way she’s searching
Trapped in a world that’s hurting
So bad it makes her cry
But I won’t let her say good bye

Twilight zone (2x) }
I’m floating in the dark alone and } (2x)
Is there any love out here let me know }
No way (2x)

To come original it ain’t nothin’ strange

Come original you got to come original

Black Eyed Peas they comin’ full range and
NOFX they comin’ full range and
Roni Size he comin’ full range
the one Mr. Vegas you know it ain’t easy

A warning to the crews out there who think they’re hot
if you’re not original rockers you will get shot
down by the kids neglectin’ your art, the stuff you did
eventually it get so bad puts you to bed
cause when the lightning flashes sweet electricity
all the world then stands revealed with the clarity
of raw voltage, briefly we see and the hope is
you’ll be able to tell just what dope is

Come original you got to come original

(Come on, come on)
This is not a test there’s no time to mope
how you gonna cope with radioactive isotope
and boss DJ illness upon you now quickly
infecting you fast upon the airwaves
this message brought to you by the so large system
activate and attune yourself with meditation
and green plants they’ve got mad life they’re sentient
they’re beautiful as you and they like to dance

(1, 2, 3, 4)
Everything we do we gotta come original
put your hands up in the air and prepare for battle
sit upon the rhythm like a tire upon a rim
we do it non-stop and then we do it again
some a them whine and some a them bitch
they can not do it never switch
comin’ up from the heart and
delivered with a wild pitch
sit up on top the rhythm like a wild stallion
this is the ruling system

Come original you got to come original
all entertainers come original
you got to come original you got to come original
all entertainers come original
you got to come original you got to come original
all entertainers come original
you got to come original you got to come original
all entertainers

Come original

311 - You Wouldn’t believe Lyrics
He was a king
Till she laid waste
Now he cannot
Fill up the space
And I just see him drifting
While he’s drifting
On bourbon alley
Feeling low
Just because
She let him go
I don’t think
He even knows
He’ll ever be fine

And he’s got a

Because he’ll
Make you laugh
Till you cry
And what else
You better come
With your best

Don’t get confused like

First you love him then
You’re loving him not
All the while

Giving all that he’s got
Do you find it
In your heart to

Do you want me to
Continue with this
Or what?

Whoa yeah

That you wouldn’t believe

Heart made of pure gold
And something else
So many tricks

311 - First Straw Live Lyrics

Ooh a whole new way of looking at things
the way you react to phone rings
the way it feels when you just let it flow
sometimes I wonder just how it could be
you take every bit before we see it off the rails
I think that you should know

You never cease to amaze me
you keep me from going crazy
and that’s one thing I know for sure
sometimes I see just how it all will be
take every bit it’s so easy
the first straw
and this I know for sure
[chorus]
The first straw
so small it seemed impossible
the next straw
vanished like shooting stars that fall
the last straw
there’s no reason for getting there at all
yeah

No reason to take it there at all
yeah

The last straw can land in your mix
your best day could be apocalypse
nobody pay attention to the first straw
it seems the last one is all we ever saw
the first straw’s a metaphor I pick up myself
it tells me something by showing me something else
I think that you should know

[chorus]

No reason to take it there at all
yeah

Everyone reacts when it gets to the weight of breaking their back
I won’t let that be us cause the long side never gave back
yeah
[chorus]
