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 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 fly guy, you know I’m smoother
Of course, no remorse is felt 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 promised to get clean
Won’t kick half dead, fucked up in the head
Just get him out of here, get him out of here
Get him out of here, uh, yes, 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 were about
But you got to 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
[Chorus]
(Aw, yeah, they can’t feel it) I know you feel good too
(Aww) You got a choice of what you’re gonna do
It’s like this, that
Earth is where is at (uh huh)
Mix a melody with some back chat
(Tell ’em again, I can’t feel it)
I know you feel good too (aw, yeah)
You got a choice of what you’re gonna do
It’s like this, that
Earth is where it’s at (uh)
Mix a melody with some back chat
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 cold make a man
Want to walk around the school yard with his tool, hard
What could make the switch to call a girl a bitch
It probably happened when you first started out, and well, you know
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, come on
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 your feet sore, lookin’ for your Micatin Because the mike is deadly in the mood we in Certified, not fakin’, cool like a Jamaican
Every time the enemy hear us, they will be shakin’, damn!
I know you feel good too (aww, yeah, baby)
You got a choice of what you’re gonna do
It’s like this, that
Earth is where is at
Mix a melody with some back chat
(Tell ’em again, damn)
I know you feel good too (aww, yeah…)
You got a choice of what you’re gonna do
It’s like this, that
Earth is where it’s at (uh huh)
Mix a melody with some back chat
