Applied Science

Nod your head to this as a lot of apprentice
 Some of this we're standing on the shoulder of giants
 Some tyrants, 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
 I like to see deletion of the parasites
 To make the load light
 Fools know rules, but the rest keep bouncing back
 With the lack of further ado, see
 As one can deduce, we kick out the jams
 Slam the 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 breakbeats, 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 ya holler

 Electricity running through, is all that feels good
 Sometimes 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 harm in the 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, 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 slippin' but content, because your spirit
 And the hills are alive, with the sound of music
 
 People never see the whole trip of life
 Grab knowledge, man, and all you do is syph
