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
