Six

(album: Grassroots - 1994)

You know patience pushing a dream
Brings my demons to life
Songs are vacations, our soul salvation
Will you suspend your disbelief, I'd like to be the thief
That steals that jaded necklace
That you're always wearing, yo
I'd take that thing and with my knife I'd start paring so
Chop, chop, piece, piece and send it to the raiders of LA
There are so many, this land of plenty
The things we lack straight square within our grasp

Ever you do, ever you think
Whether you're brown or you're pink
I think not thinking's better 'bout it when you stop to think
The jaded ones will wither while the optimistic grow
I settle that a bet'll let a large amount so

Indulge me just for a minute, imagine no one holding out
All trying for peace, my brothers down, some others down
It happens slow, think you should know
The direction that the world go, peace

The number six to make them feel like men
They one up us 'cause we're much too much for them, OK
The method to the mischief's over there then
Psych, shazam, we strike with the lightning
Through space we move and emit an ill tracer
We're set to light your world, kid, we're your maker
Check it, our karma, plus the avant garder
Style of our sect, wise to ways comes to wreck

Ever you do, ever you think
Whether you're brown or you're pink
I think not thinking's better 'bout it when you stop to think
The jaded ones will wither while the optimistic grow
I settle that a bet will get our sweet-ass style down

While the masses mill around curse in anguish
311 stomping 'em down with the quickness
We see all the crews that be coming around now
Making their notes to get our sweet-ass style down

Fending off the foes that try to shut us down
Like the warrior souls we are we never give in
What we call is dope, we know will come around
Chill in southern Cali, y'all, that's how we living

We spend our lives learning
If you like learning, life is large
It could never be only the ups
And the downs will always come around, yeah yeah
Like a drive through Estes park, you savor the sun
But when the clouds come, make animals
