Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Intro (x2)
---> Play Verse A over:
Nick:
   Feel the bass knives pass your flesh enter 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 me know your stylo
   You could make a mean hand out of what you been dealt
   311 on wax, wax on felt
---> Play Verse B over:
SA:
   Feelin' real great cuz the weather is mild
   So you reevaluate your personal style
   What makes you laugh stand apart
   Makes you feel good what's in your heart
   Feelin' real great cuz the weather is mild
   So you check us out on tour cuz your likin' the style
   Drums the bass the master plan
   Nice guitars the mics in our hands
---> Play Chorus over:
Both:
   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 hard of listening
   You think you're taking the cake but what's left icing (jump)
---> Play Bridge (x1)
---> Play Verse C over:
SA:
   To every foundation and every crew
   I've got the medium here's what we're gonna do
   Sendin' 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
   Givin' respect to those who keepin' it true
---> No Guitar Over:
   If you are real or a replica
---> Play Verse D and Fill 1 over:
   If your slease be like Akira
   Wild ass Sioux or the Chippewa
   Your tribes Pawnee or the Omaha
   You can touch me with your fresh aura
   Cuz your energy be phenomena
   Now move the people and then oila
   Take on the love and the good karma
---> Play Intro (x2)
