Applied Science

Nod your head to this as a lot of apprentice

Some of this, we're standing on the shoulders of giants

Some tyrants, some benevolent

To the followers it's relevant

The rest get bent on lending opinions

I'm ascending to a brand new level

I revel in completion

I like to see deletion of a parasite, uh

To make the low flight

Fools know rules but the rest keep bouncing back

With the lack of further adieu, see

As one can deduce we kick out the jams

Slamming shit out hard and long

'Cause we got more song, dig, check it

Something you might like now

All-star bound, yeah, you're so sound

Cool as the blue water all around

From a force field flashing, somebody is 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 you're into, we are, baby

'Cause music will be coming out the words we speak

We erect, break beats, shatter wax still on the platter

Our shit is badder, we come fly then we scatter

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

Electricity running through is all that feels good

Sometime the only things that really ever could

Feed that hunger, I crave it, I love it, I gave it

I shoved it in a battery and saved it for later

A waiter in the Dorothy C. Pavilion in '89

I met some weirdos and had myself a real good time

Downtown LA is a soul graveyard

Where you gotta be hard or get jacked

It lacked a certain sense of something, something basic

No karma in the least, I broke east

You know I had to face it

I guess I flaked, but there was no mistake

Because 311's got the boom, y'all

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

You're slipping but content because your spirit

And hills are alive with the sound of music

People never see the whole trip of life

Grab knowledge, man, and all you do is siph
