Unity Complete Album - 311

Slinky





I was at this club minding my tea

I saw this fine young thing so I thought that I would see

I don't smoke but I asked her for a cigarette (that's lame)

I know it's lame but I haven't got a better one yet, check it out

oh, you guess the rest I'm not the type to fess

I sing this song because I tell you she's the best, you know



That slinky girl is in my brain

now I'll never be the same

no one can ever see

what that slinky girl means to me



Uh-oh

so I'll just pretend

but I feel like



(Go, go ,go ,go) x3

(Make it funky like this)



Oh, mackadocious she's sweet and precocious

she's the one girl that I just dig, love, yes I'm not above this

you think that's wack then bro you lack

you bore me that macho crap makes me snore, see, me,

I'm all about the females, the women, the jewels of this world

those flowers like that slinky girl



That slinky girl is in my brain

now I'll never be the same

no one can ever see

what that slinky girl means to me



Uh-oh

so I'll just pretend

but I feel like



(Go, go ,go ,go) x3

(All right, break it down, 311 is in the house whether you like it or not,

1990 whatever, here we go)



Well I met her one night I'd seen her before

she stole my brain then showed me the door

girls that do me like that there's not many

but I've met one, uh that's plenty

I'm glad to say that she gets her way

she can move me and that's okay

has the power to turn paper inky

the girl has me and she's so, oh



(thats right)

(here we go, huh)

(aw, yeah)



That slinky girl is in my brain

now I'll never be the same

no one can ever see

what that slinky girl means to me



(all right, now help me out)



That slinky girl is in my brain

now I'll never be the same

no one can ever see

what that slinky girl means to me



Uh-oh

(I dont feel nothin)

(here we go)

(Go, go ,go ,go) x3







Feels So Good





Well everybody got opinion that's loud and unbending

I spend my time healing and mending together

It's a question of whether live positive, well I give

P-Nut is a brother that's always got a girlfriend

I say the lyrics that'll put you in a whirlwind

Ese' has the wisdom of a Noble Laureate

I'm down for our days of glory

it's easy to do when you're up with Sexton

a rythmatic genius churnin' out the next one

but you know young bro I flow in this circumstance

you'll get your chance



Just take a moment to have a fit once in a while, you know, ha

I do it daily and like it but that's my style, here I go

in your face, that right

and it feels so good

in your face

and it feels so good







Go Ese'





trip this shake get up on the tipness

don't sweat it or let it set once you grab it

come and get some to have and to flaunt

I know about it now I got the news if you want

I pocket I lock it I sock it your mind I rock it

shell fuckin shocked as well

maybe I groove dammit I know it

fuckin up the truth yeah that's how I show it

in the half light Ese' sounds Nicks a night light

I'm rappin' he's snappin' on

something you might like now

don't frown if I chose to

cut it up brothers you can't take it with you



Just take a moment to have a fit once in a while, you know, you know

I do it daily and like it but that's my style, here I go

in your face, thats right

and it feels so good (fuck it up)

in your face, thats right

and it feels so good



yo P-nut, beat that thang



Hey, get this my stream of consciousness is a sea

much like Bukowski with a rage

speaking to the page beasts in the cage

jumping off the stage, diving

thriving, striving, for a better day Ese'

beat back by flesh shattered doors

bragging fists in the sky you're feelin' high

yes to live and die



Just take a moment to have a fit once in a while, you know, you know, you know

I do it daily and like it but that's my style, here I go

in your face, thats right

and it feels so good

in your face (you know)

and it feels so good

(thats all)



Do You Right

I don't insist I am no fabulist

you can take it take it don't leave it, yeah

just get loose cause I will tell the truth

I hope you like it, my thoughts all I got



I stare at the curl of your hair

at the stregnth of your charm

I feel like I'd give my left arm

but I'm sure that you've heard this before



And when we spend the night I'd check if you're alright

how it was, I don't mean to bug

if it ended now I would just think of how

how it was, in love yes in love



I stare at the curl of your hair

at the stregnth of your charm

I feel like I'd give my left arm

but I'm sure that you've heard this before



Like I said before I'll say it once more

knew you would make me feel so good

wanna do you right

can't get enough this is the stuff

life's about and it trips me out

wanna do you right



You are so good to me I just want to see

that picture of you you gave me

though it fell out of my pocket

it hangs like a locket in my head

it'll be there til' I'm dead



I stare at the curl of your hair

at the stregnth of your charm

I feel like I'd give my left arm

but I'm sure that you've heard this before



Like I said before I'll say it once more

knew you would make me feel so good

wanna do you right

can't get enough this is the stuff

life's about and it trips me out

wanna do you right



Like I said before I'll say it once more

knew you would make me feel so good

wanna do you right

can't get enough this is the stuff

life's about and it trips me out

wanna do you do you do you do you do you



Like I said before I'll say it once more

knew you would make me feel so good

wanna do you right

can't get enough this is the stuff

life's about and it trips me out

wanna do you right







Fuck The Bullshit





You know I'm ready, yes to rock steady

my name's not Betty or Teddy, but Nick

and I'm what you might call a heretic

yes, and I am from Nebraska my girl is satisfied

you can ask her, you know I've never visited Alaska

huh, where the oil was spilt, that drunken captain should

be killed for polluting the sea, an atrocity

that fucks with me, well

this one goes to all the birds that drown



Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down

fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down

fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down

fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down



yo, fuck the bullshit

and get with it

it's time to throw down

and so I said it words of wisdom that will keep

you all guessing cause I'm tired of playing

and I'm tired of messin around

with all your suckers yes, those stupid mother fuckers

who put down what I do, I stand alone with a groove that's new

like now that you know that the rhymes that I say

are mine alone and I surely dont play

I kick in the teeth a condescending frown



Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down

fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down

fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down

fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down



Right about now I'd like to turn over the mic

over to my mentor SA Martinez



I'm sly, Nicoli, he know why

get this kid high i'm gonna fly

right out of this world and in to the next

with a power (??) over worse than (??)

go on open, i'm poetry in motion

dont joke when you pray

my mind is spoken

the latest, the greatest, of hip-hop persuaders

I find a rhyme that always amazes brothers

the mic drum is loomin'

and in your mind my rap rhyme is bloomin like a flower

fuck the bullshit p-nut

talk shit with your



Just fuck the has been's and their stupid ass rambling

promises it's bullshit they can't come through with

do it in the basement, no complacent

it's time to kick the fuck in, begin to win no sin and then

share it, declare it in the public domain refrain

perfectly sad if rap was a fad

but it's not so I thought id come out with a shot

super dumb lyrics make you think I'm a clown



I don't give a fuck it's time to throw down

fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down

fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down

fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down

fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down







Summer Of Love





I thought about my scene today

and I've finally got the words to say

the truth is cutting like a knife

gonna use it to cut away my strife

the grass is green and the sky is blue

my head is clear and my thoughts are true, yeah

that's what I'm sayin



Callin' out young and old

we got a thing that can't be sold, yeah

the time that takes to rise above

in the summer of love



It's the summer

it's the summer

it's the summer of love I say (x4)

yeah



I wake up each day to the sun

and it's hard to chose what to do for fun (and man thats a drag)

a blissful world surrounds me

and my brothers and sisters love is always free

oh, don't you know that I've waited my whole life just to show

what's inside and let my love flow, yeah

that's what I'm sayin'



Callin' out young and old

we got a thing that can't be sold, yeah

the time that takes to rise above

in the summer of love



It's the summer

it's the summer of love I say (x4)



The colors blend down the prism of light, boom

We get chance (??)

we cant say we came from the sun

we cant see, we came from the sun

this is the summer of unity, uh-oh

I riggity (?) so gimme a chance

and give me the sign to say

The colors blend down the prism of light, boom

We get chance (??)

yeah

I said it's the summer of love

my head is clear

and my thoughts are true





Unity





Even if I cared to try I, I couldn't please them

their petty complaints stupid restraints ain't gonna work

it's all to cheese and

regret, don't fret, just push it away

and say I'm like the wind, relentless and irritating

a position that I think worth stating

swing I'm doin' my thing

groove I'm showin' and provin'

that maverick deal that makes you feel ill

it runs in my family

fussin' and cussin' and bitchin' and kickin'

if you ask me I think that you're just chicken to try

don't pretend you're my friend

remember I said it one day you'll regret it

oh god I can't believe it

you have asked and so you shall receive it in the ear

victory draws near but no fear my dear

i'll be here another year, that's right



What's it all about I scan a new plan for the next year in

nineties try these you wanna just bust out

I cool out and I'm done bein' mad

to just know hate well that's so sad what a life, strife

backfire in your face know your place come on like

word they come like a heard but they said

we'd drop like a lead zeppelin in your face

but that's nothin' hometeam

I ain't got to my ace in the whole yet, bet that I will

get my fill, get my thrill we'll

be back one day and we'll try not to spite

but until then you stay out of my sight

oh god I can't believe it this grooves so dope

i'm about to have a fit and here's a flash

I freaked so hard I got whiplash

and when it comes to writing stay away from our stash, come on



Swing I'm doin' my thing

groove I'm showin' and provin'

that maverick deal that maks you feel ill

it runs in my family

stoppin' and goin' and lyin' and cryin'

my brain is on fire it feels like I'm flying through space

yes, doing my best but It'll get better this much I confess

oh god I can't believe it but when this era's through

i'll say that's it

edification will take place

pull up the reigns and get out of the race

my bros are down for the unity

311 is down for the unity

unanimity of the unity

that's right





Damn





Word up, I'm talkin to you

i'm makin dope rhymes, thats what I do

like a madman, you know its bad, man

I slam, a good goddamn



Well I've been burned so goddamn badly

I could just sit and sing the blues

but instead i'll make a fist, yeah

and make my own good news, yeah



Take my advice, yeah

you'll pay the price

to make it funky like this

good god

damn



I drop a syllable like

yo, what else is dissin me

huh, its pissin me off

rock me baby? What?

what the hell, if it sells

damn, youre a sham,

no thank you, ma'am, bitch



Oh, I've been burned badly

I could just sit and sing the blues

but instead I'll make a fist, yeah

and make my own good news, yeah



Take my advice, yeah

you'll pay the price

to make it funky like this

good goddamn

all this (?)

Huh



and the nightmare of the (??) begins

this is the time to find who are your true friends

i train my brain to be original

build character, aborginal

american music is what i grew in to

to much for (??)

fuck you



I say we fear no evolution stand up musical co-revolution

follow me now when I say we can never stop

in we never give cuz this is how we breathe and live

and some of them whine and some of them bitch

they cannot do it we never switch

we do it for ourselves, we do it for you, boom

if you don't like it well I hope you do







Down South





Let me take you down south

hear it from the dover's mouth

the rhythm will make you want to move your body

I had it once and never ever forgot it

feel the rhythm of rhapsody

your body moves in raw ecstasy

explosive eruption beyond compare and



Take my advice don't think twice

let me take you way down south



Step back cuz the funk is here and

the base is kickin' straight to your ear man

because it's like that so don't talk back

and if you do then you're gonna get the back slap

down south that's an enigma

but to you it's a stupid dumb stigma

that's right it's outta sight



Let me tell you 'bout my baby

she loves me and I don't mean maybe

she knows what I think and I don't have to say it

I love her so I don't have to play it

we sit and drink in the sun

I raise my glass and say she's the one

cool breeze light squeeze life



Take my advice don't think twice

let me take you way down south



Yo, step back I'm about to get hectic

chalk it up as another dialectic

hard like a jam

smooth like a ballad

call it what you want but I call it sound salad

a salad grown in the garden of Eden

seekin' out pleasures like my boys in Sweden

that's right the grooves tight like



Sit back just relax, let your mind unwind

pull your good thing close, let tranquility surround

psychedelic freak out taco funk frolic

grind fiend roots 'core soul music what have you

psychedelic freak out taco funk frolic

grind fiend roots 'core soul music



Yo, step back and think about the topic of this song

strong innuendo end over end goes your brain

I won't say it's plain figure it out here's a clue

it's about winding, grinding, finding that spot

that get's her hot the joy of giving pleasure

is beyond measure, you know







Rollin'





Rollin' windows down kickback trollen

I'm holdin' and foldin' see no cold in the streets

dirty looks - huh - we think it's funny

the workin' class squares scrounge up all the money

but we're coolin' in the middle of June

I'm gettin' girls gettin' lit and I'm making up tunes

believe that boy I'll bet I'll bet I'm trollen

just lookin' for some trouble and we be rollin'



Now I'm a tell a tale to you straight, gonna tell you a story

it's not a fairy tale and it gets a little glory

it happened one night when Tequila was flowin

we were walkin' to my car, unaware unknowin'

I stepped up crossed the the street in no hurry

and what happens next it gets a little blurry

this chump nearly hits me in a green pinto

so I threw my bottle - bang - It broke his window

he screeched to a halt jumped out of his car

I stepped straight to him gonna make him see stars, yes

the situation was going to explode

thought I should give him a warning said ya better hit the road

I knew it would be easy if i tagged him first

so I cracked him in the face all of the sudden with a burst

I hit him with a right then a left didn't land

but he turned his head and I broke my hand



Whatcha gonna do?

do whatcha gonna



I got a cast on my hand and the girls think I'm a jerk

I can't play my bass and I can't go to work

this is a true story it all did happen

better yet I regret that moment of scrappin'

been two years now since this all took place

I learn from being stupid I learn from my mistakes

and now I'm livin' peace edifyin' and trollen

can't say it wasn't fun in those days of rollin'

rollin'

rollin'



Right Now

(And I) I notice the tapestries on the wall as well

(and I) I stand up and hit my head on the mobile

(and you) and you look around too

(and we) time passes easily



(ai-yi-yi)

(ai-yi-yi)



I've opened up my mind

so you can step inside

you could expect to find

a scenic ride



Pointyhead pizzeria perfect penetration

mezcal cuts off my brain communication

belligerence, lost of my intellegence

talkin mess like shut up and listen to me

because cuttin' through the crap is my specialty

like a bomb I'm droppin yes a ton a lead

you're tryin' to figure out the last thing I said

I'm a Redwood, I love to be a tree yes I'm a Druid

my words they're flowin' out like a fluid

never give in never conform

I'll be bustin out rhymes in a triplet form



Right now

right now

right now



(In another room) I sit and contemplate

(that winter night) my words were filled with hate

(in second sight) I should have known my fate

(but it's all right) now we're in a different state



(ai-yi-yi)

(ai-yi-yi)



I've opened up my mind

so you can step inside

you could expect to find

a scenic ride



Expiate, to make amends for hostilities

it's easy to see that for me, in reality

I'm not one of those fools

with an ecclesiastical whitewash

to set my ethical standards

you'll never catch me lookin' to Ann Landers

or Moses or the law or even Buddha

if there's one thing I know

it's always be true to myself

and learn from experience

educated by nights of violence, trips to jail,

broken knuckles and friendships

but that gives me the power to write a groove that rips



Right now

right now

right now

I am

I am

I am

(??) to be and I am, damn



C.U.T.M.

I got the funk on two

I got the funk on two

pick it up



Hexum, Sexton, Mahoney and Wills

we groove so fuckin' hard it gives you the chills

well I've been stricken

the bass is kickin'

when suckers step to me, boy, I give them a lickin', go



Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby

Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby



I feel good

yo bad self



Well, I am the Hexum, call me Nick

I live by the code of cosmic

I've come to say, we're here to stay

Utopian way we'll play today, yeah

we've got the drive, we are so live

won't take a dive, we're gonna thrive

we got a condition called ambition

to the cosmic utopian thrivin' mission



Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby

Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby



Make it, make it like this

(??)



Witness this, yo the pissed lyricist

in your face celebratin' a brand new race

we know colors are just brothers and some others

thrive on attention but they failed to mention

the consequence of no conscience

you damn fool, I'll school you in the new school

now speakin on a round, step back mother fucker, I'ma goin' to town



Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby

Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby



I feel good

break it down



I got one more rhyme

yes, the verbs I got

they hit that spot

the crowd is freakin'

and bro I'm peekin'

when I'm on stage, you're havin' a fit

but without my brothers, baby, I ain't shit, lets go



Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby

Cosmic Utopian Thrivin' Mission, baby



Make it, make it like this
