Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Intro (x1)
---> Play Verse 1 over:
SA:
We bust the sound
The kids all gather round
Nick:
And what's comin' from their radios
They all turn down
SA:
The creativeness
We are scientists
Nick:
Move 'em with soul
Move 'em with this
---> Play Verse 2 over:
SA:
When the bass kicks
We get intimate
Nick:
With the music and the people
Yeah they're into it
SA:
Takin' off cruisin through the air
Both:
The sound is aerodynmaic
Let me take you there
---> Play Bridge 1 (x1)
---> Play Verse A over:
SA:
I am a cool and mellow man
Nick:
Always got a plan
SA:
Copin' out problems every time I can
Nick:
I'd like to be known as a great communicator
SA:
If you got beef don't save it for later
---> Play Verse B over:
Nick:
I battle evil weekly monthly yearly
But every step I take the devil stays near me
SA:
Otherwise maintain on the globe
Both:
Just another space trippin' vato
---> Play Bridge 1 (x1)
---> Play Bridge 2 over:
SA:
Massive yang and yin on this earth we spin
Sometimes I gotta center find out who I am
Nick:
I chill out I let in the wind
SA:
I gotta feel the pulse of the planet on my skin
Both:
I got news for ya it ain't nothin nice
We all got demons we all gotta vice
The struggle never ends
To keep it in check
But I never stop trying
To make the trek whadup
---> Play Bridge 3
---> Play Ending over:
Nick:
Which one is it who ya gonna believe
Undivided in my material being
Undivided life
You can't fade me
Desperate the cling I make to positvity
Stay gettin it on til the doubt is gone
If you could be dissuaded you were dead all along
Like what's up now you can't fade me
Still in that same old trade of positivity
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official 311 tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
