Strong All Along

(album: Soundsystem - 1999)

Feel the bass slide past your flesh into your bone
Solitude in your dance floor rhythm zone
Let your body go, just don't follow the letter
Do what you feel, the more absurd the better
Don't be afraid, whatever you got, show
Flaunt your personality let 'em know you feeling
You could make a mean hand out of what you been dealt
311 on wax, wax on felt

Feeling real great 'cause the weather is mild
So you re-evaluate your personal style
What makes you laugh, stand apart
Makes you feel good what's in your heart
Feeling real great 'cause the weather is mild
So you check us out on tour, 'cause your liking the style
Drums, the bass, the master plan
Nice guitars, the mics in our hands

Strong all along, strong all along
Come to find out the arm of the truth is long
I'll break it down for you like this for the art of listening
You think you're taking the cake, but what's left'S icing, (jump!)

To every foundation and every crew
We've got the medium, here's what we're gonna do
Sending out props straight from us to you
To every foundation and every crew
From the Malibu shores to the Brooklyn Zoo
We've got the medium, here's what we're gonna do
You wanna touch us, we wanna touch you too
Giving respect, to those who keeping it true

If you are real or a replica
If your steez be like Akira
The wild ass Sioux or the Chippewa
Your tribes Pawnee or the Omaha
You can touch me with your fresh aura
'Cause your energy be phenomena
Now move, the people and then voila
Take on the love and the good karma

Come on!

Strong all along, strong all along
Come to find out the arm of the truth is long
I'll break it down for you like this for the art of listening
You think you're taking the cake, but what's left icing, (jump!)

Feeling real great 'cause the weather is mild
So you re-evaluate your personal style
What makes you laugh, stand apart
Makes you feel good what's in your heart
To every foundation and every crew
We've got the medium, here's what we're gonna do
Sending out props straight from us to you
To every foundation and every crew

Strong all along, strong all along
Come to find out the arm of the truth is long
I'll break it down for you like this for the art of listening
You think you're taking the cake, but what's left icing, (jump!)
