---> Intro: Play Riff 1 w/Heavy distortion (x2)
---> Play Riff 1 over:
Chill light on my sight as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
While I scatter my spit I dream of juice
Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kiss that made your day or say
Played a track from your record collection
It's your mix, congratulations=7F
---> Play Chorus over:
** Chorus **
** We've changed a lot and then some - some
** You know that we have always been down - down
** And if I ever don't thank you - you
** Then just let me do it now
---> Play Riff 1 over:
I bet you light up when we start the show
Follow me now very closely 'cuz I told you so
You know we glow because we throw sun-rays
We be freaky and we wanna stay

** Chorus **

---> Play Riff 1 over:
Lightning strikes yo we be in that violent force of light
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolemite
'Cuz we're dope kid change like a chameleon and the
Channel whenever that wack show real world is on
You know we dazzle like ghetto box boomin' battles
Rattle inside your head feel redeemed like cola bottles
Fall in love with your teachers on the wax
We are self made check the technique, 311 in LA
---> Play Chorus over:
** Chorus **
---> Play Chorus (quiet) over:
Keep my feet on the ground
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
Comes from the down - and
