1.Freeze Time
Lyrics：Hexum／Martinez
Music：Hexum
I'd like to stay here just like this
It's just a momentary bliss
That's all we can hope for
That's a reason to cope for
This life, this life and no more
(SA Chorus)
You will be immortal man
One in the hand
You will know exactly then
What you have
You found the cure
And Morse codes for rapture
Get with your rhythm
Get with your nature
The moment's running down a mountain
It can be captured from a fountain
Sometimes all that it can be
Absence of agony
Pleasure from the lack of pain
(SA Chorus)
Serendipitous my travels throughout time
I grab a moment like a thief and then I make
it mine
Nothing will compare to your realization
When you come to find out your new object of
fixation
(Nick Chorus)
I try to freeze time try to freeze time for your mind
Perfect snapshot to always rewind
Golden buttered jam golden buttered jam for
your slam
Remember it in your synapse diagram
Sweetness is your bein'
Zen human walkin'
Steppin' out from shadows
Flowin like a breeze soft and
When dawn unveils the mornin star risen
Feel the light feel the love your christened
With this life not ours not for long
But for the taking take it
The birth light breaking break it
Between the light and dark is a seem
That is caving in
Mutating rearranging your soul
Changing form again
(SA Chorus)
Serendipitous my travels throughout time
I grab a moment like a thief and then I make
it mine
Nothing will compare to the realization
When you come to find out your new object of
fixation
(Nick Chorus)
(SA Chorus)
2.Come Original
Lyrics：Hexum／Martinez
Music：Hexum／Wills
Come Original
You got to
You got to
Come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers
Hear why
To come original it ain't nothin' strange
You got to represent you got come full range
Full range of emotion full range of styles
When you come to town you'll have them
comin' for miles
Come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers
Hear why
Black Eyed Peas they comin' full range and
NOFX they comin' full range and
Roni Size he comin' full range
The one Mr. Vegas you know it ain't easy
A warning to the crews out there who think they're hot
If you're not original rockers you will get shot
Down by the kids neglectin' your art, the stuff you did
Eventually it get so bad puts you to bed
Cuz when the lightning flashes sweet electricity
All the world then stands revealed with the clarity
Of raw voltage, briefly we see and the hope is
You'll be able to tell just what dope is
Come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers
Hear why
Funk slap bass mixed with the dancehall and
Hip-hop beats and punk guitar and
Deadly on the mic is the one SA
The name is 311 and you know it ain't easy
This is not a test there's no time to mope
How you gonna cope with radioactive isotope
And boss dj illness upon you now quickly
Infecting you fast upon the airwaves
This message brought to you by the so large system
Activate and attune yourself with meditation
And green plants they've got mad life they're sentient
They're beautiful as you and they like to dance
Everything we do we gotta come original
Put your hand up in the air and prepare for battle
Sit upon the rhythm like a tire upon a rim
We do it non-stop and then we do it again
Some a them whine and some a them bitch
They can not do it never switch
Comin' up from the heart and
Delivered with a wild pitch
Sit up on top the rhythm like a wild stallion
This is the ruling system
Come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers come original
You got to come original you got to come original
All entertainers
Come original
3.Large In The Margin
Lyrics：Hexum
Music：Sexton
Large in the margin my drama unfolds behind
close doors
Told on the down low I beleive that I'm sold
but really I don't know
Maybe it's better but I can't think so
Maybe it's better to fight
One never ever knows
Believe the rumors that grow like tumors
It's more fun than the truth that we know
Trying to hard to reach a higher plain
Will fuck you up
When you least expect it
You think you're moving closer when suddenly
you wrecked it
But all the same the pain gains wisdom
As if you ain't had enough then you're in
some
Prison of your own creation mental dialation
Look at what you're facing placing blame in
every direction
But in the end it's your own infection
(Chorus)
There's no way to avoid listening
You'll always end up listening
Here's hoping the vocies aren't too unkind
Here's hoping the voices are benign
It's easier when you hear it
There's no reason to fear it
It's you
You
You think they'll probably find you
Well then, you're probably right
Cuz they'll come back to remind you
for eternity
Of when you gave up the fight
Somehow they always will find you
The voices in the night, everynight
Keep coming back to remind you for eternity
Of when you gave up the fight
(Chorus)
4.Flowing
Lyrics：Hexum
Music：Hexum
(Chorus)
Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
The more it will spin the more that I try
To stop my mind flowing
Away away
To all that I despise
Along the way to close my eyes
You can't be let down if you don't expect
the world
Expect to lay awake there by your sleeping
girl
If somebody cares then there is no way
you can tell
Cursed consciousness it's your private hell
(Chorus)
Tick tick tick the clock bludgeons your
mind
Endlessly replaying times that were unkind
Go away sun I'm not prepared for you today
It seems you are it seems you are
(Chorus)
5.Can't Fade Me
Lyrics：Hexum／Martinez
Music：Hexum
We bust the sound
The kids all gather round
And what's comin' from their radios
They all turn down
The creativeness
We are scientists
Move em with soul
Move em with this
When the bass kicks
We get intimate
With the music and the people
Yeah they're into it
Takin' off cruisin through the air
The sound is aerodynmaic
Let me take you there
I am a
Cool and mellow man
Always got a plan
Copin' out problems every time I can
I'd like to be known as a great
communicator
If you got beef don't save it for later
I battle evil weekly monthly yearly
But every step I take the devil stays near me
Otherwise maintain on the globe
Just another space trippin vato
Massive yang and yin on this earth we
spin
Sometimes I gotta center find out who I am
I chill out I let in the wind
I gotta feel the pulse of the planet on my
skin
I got news for ya it ain't nothin nice
We all got demons we all gotta vice
The struggle never ends
To keep it in check
But I never stop trying
To make the trek whadup
Which one is it who ya gonna believe
Undivided in my material being
Undivided life
You can't fade me
Desperate the cling I make to positvity
Stay gettin it on til the doubt is gone
If you could be dissuaded you were
dead all along
Like what's up now you can't fade me
Still in that same old trade of positivity
6.Life's Not A Race
Lyrics：Hexum／Martinez
Music：Hexum／Mahoney
A day like today is for you
To let your mind unwind like you ought to
Feel the earth turn 'round when your heart
rate slows
Contemplating the thing only your heart
knows
That life's not a race
(Chorus)
So hard to believe
Part of me will fade
In the mystery
In a future world
Long ago
Part feels for your love
And lives to tell you so
The world whirls around your mind in a
golden spiral
The natural way that things organize
You can't stop entropy so why even try
Observe the conscious flow and don't mystify
Life's not a race
(Chorus)
Slippin into a trance
A chance encounter in the autumn
What do I see an opportunity
And then, I got em'
Sought a chill-out mix to
Carve some space
To make you wanna listen
It's a bubblin' spring and
Double in kings of
This Soundsystem
(Chorus)
Do you see world without end
The rising sun my friend
Imagine cloudlike
You will form again
In the spacey boredom
In the autumn of late afternoon
You are calm
Just like a sleepy room
7.Strong All Along
Lyrics：Hexum／Martinez
Music：Hexum
Feel the bass knvies pass your flesh
enter your bone
Solitude in your dancefloor rhythm zone
Let your body go just don't follow the
letter
Do what you feel the more absurb 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
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
(Chorus)
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
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
If you are real or a replica
If your steez 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
(Chorus)
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
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
(Chorus)
8.Sever
Lyrics：Hexum／Martinez
Music：Hexum／Wills
(Chorus)
Just sever that leash and release
Your freedom of speech
You just have to believe
Your deed will be recieved
Somehow somewhere
You won't be repaid with a blank stare
Let me know if you dare
There's no one that could cure you like she does
she does
No one could leave you so alone
Here I goes
My vibe is holy
My eyes closed
Either I'm asleep
Or what I'm thinkin is deep
Eventually I sigh and kick the sheets
Try to piece together why I'm here
Nothing except my own damn eyes and ears
And then it severs so I listen to my heart
Always and ever
If it's not good it might get better
If it's not good it might just sever
I tell you money there's other honey
You always show it but you don't know it
Staring at the door thinking
About the mess your in
In your couch sinking deep
Over the girl that's gone
(Chorus)
Now all you think about her drink about her
in vain
But all else feels like you're betraying
We're wakin it up face up and shakin it up
We know of an extended field
This is the deal we're letting and getting
The vibes that we want
Open up your heart and proceed to feel
Now you're inchin up to the summit never plummet
Boot your system up
And then bail with the middle finger up
Why you so abrupt baby don't be corrupt
Standing in the club playin the wall
That they're not her is all
You think and that is true
But what else can you do
Trying to turn back time
Or just tow the line
Cuz the space you're in
Is no place like home
9.Eons
Lyrics：Hexum
Music：Sexton
You got a wishing well within
That's ready to begin
See how we roll
See how we roll
I'm trying to compromise
Because with me there are no lies
See how we run
It's already begun
Now that I'm back to a pushing pen
That weighs two hundred tons
I'd like to drop it on you
And watch it all fall through
Nobody knows just what
You're battling inside
You can hide
Nobody knows just why
Most everyone will lie
If they need to
The ones who aggravate you most
And happen to be ever close
Seem to be the ones lurching
For the same things that you are searching
The ones that make you feel ill
And you think that nature should have killed
Those you curse when you're alone
Seem to be so close to home
(Chorus x2)
Not an even field to be on
Feels like standing still for eons and eons
Stare it dead in the eye, what now？
All we can do is try to shut it down
Shut it down
10.Evolution
Lyrics：Hexum／Martinez
Music：Hexum／Sexton
My computer is future shockin'
Download this and you'll start talkin'
upgraded you're now walkin'
compatible with all that is rockin'
comin' on fast it's gettin' digital
it's so huge like a spiritual
rippling out to every individual
this is life it is a miracle
(Chorus)
Evolution has expontential timing it'll be
Half as long til the next breakthrough that
blows are mind
It's up to the people to brave on with
experimentation
Move forth the species by using our
imagination
But can we handle it
Could we dismantle it
Or should we fear the void and just be
para-paranoid
If it's understood it could be used for good
and would
If you will believe in all we can concieve
On the periodic table they got it all wrong
Let me lay it down for you in this song
People want PT
They want AU
Lemme tell you what you really ought to do
Figure out ways to master silicon
Fiber optic connectors
Whatevers beyond
So many people don't even attempt to understand
The limitless possibilities of man
(Chorus)
I feel trapped I gotta adapt
Remain calm collected
Before I get zapped
My computer is a rebel acting all fine
And just like that payin' me no mind
What's up is it's program overcome by a glitch
Is it becoming concsious and if so aint that a
bitch
I paid too much for this piece I'll be damned
if it tries
Any funny business it'll be the one that pays
the price
(Chorus)
Yes can we handle it
We could we dismantle it
We should not fear the void and just be
para-paranoid
If it's understood it could be used for good
and would
If you will believe in all we can concieve
11.Leaving Babylon
Written：G.Miller／D.Jenifer／P.Hudson／E.Hudson
Well I say oh
Leaving this Babylon
I said I'm leaving this Babylon
Leaving this Babylon
I will not be too long
I will not be too long
I said my people are starving
But your money's running
I said my people are starving
But your money's running
I said the dollar, dollar drop down real low
You ain't got no gold to show
Gonna step right through that door
Not gonna come back no more
Cuz the politician lie
My mama just a cry？？？
And nothing ever gonna change
My father just a sign
My sister just a line
And I ain't got nothing to say
Well I say
Well I say
Nothing can go away
Nothing can leave today
Yea yea...
12.Mindspin
Lyrics：Hexum／Martinez
Music：Sexton
Are you missing us
Maybe wanting to be kissing us
If you must
Then please don't be dismissing us
When we're gone bailin on the bus
Are we immersed in a sea of replicants
Hard exteriors and fake gold fronts
Losing yourself in the flavor of the month
Gotta be a better reason to colonize a star
Gotta be a better reason man's come so far
Is that you in the mama-ocean-people-sea
Is that you in this dream I see waving me
Closer with one hand
While the other shields your eyes as if surprised
To see the universe begin
(Chorus)
Being up on the mindspin
Are you still glad that it has been
Six years and seven months
This is what you want don't front
I'm feelin it right now
In this, the gold hour
Part clock and part man
Reconciling my life span
Keeping things whole
We move out of the space where air flows
When all of a sudden here we are and here we go
The evolutionary mind turns twists backflips
In space-time
The continuum
Real-life planetarium
It's a natural fact
Time is speeding up
There isn't much left
Heart rate increasing
Bustin' through your chest
Compressed
Is your life in the physical
But out of memory comes a vision
Which is a miracle
Yeah that
Normally we just can't see
It's not natural or typical
Of our same old thing
Livin' too fast
Unable to grasp the past
Or the future
When at last we ripple
After our big splash
(Chorus)
You remain and refrain
From the pain of wasted time
The last thing on my mind is
Running high fuel supply
Reason why
We just don't quit
Can you get with
A melding of two minds
What's the worst thing
You could find
A paper trail
That prevails
In demystification
People
Want to believe
In mysteries
People
Want to believe
In mysteries
Is the truth so bad？
Is the truth so bad？
Is the truth so bad？
Is the truth so bad？
13.Livin' ＆ Rockin'
Lyrics：Hexum／Martinez
Music：Mahoney
Fire is my method for destruction
Leaving chard wreckage from my latest
eruption
Unpredictable, my erratic demeanor
Bobbing and weaving as my mind gets leaner
Though I'm trippin on legs that stumble but I don't
fall down
You know I'm singing out things you mumble
from a lack of resound
Pissed off mist lifts to honesty
Now come down motherfucker with your philosophy
I'm at ease when I feel there's a breeze
Give me a little please
Aristotle I'm not but think of Socrates
So are you ready for your lesson blood？
Democratic non erratic Socratic method
We'll take away the pain
We'll pacify the bullshit built up in your
brain
In times of change or the same old thangs
As you maintain or rearrange
(Chorus)
Can't nobody do it like 311
Fuckin' up competition cuz there really is
none
Steppin on your game from the first floor up tore up
Electricity we store it up
Can't nobody do it like 311
Break it down, what it is, dedication
Sending out gratitude like we laid it out on
Down
Throw down fuck the bullshit we're still the
sound
Wild and lost speed mad
A long way from sad
Lookin' good like you should you're bad
An itinerant dimension mystic is your spirit
see
Like color absolute bodiless indeed
Casual kindred spirit past
All the obstacles you're dealin'q with at last
The nasdaq, two puppies, baby needs
new shoes
Car alarms, your rent, wedding bells,
the blues
The tragic fucking comedy that was last
night
Unfolds to my inner devils sheer delight
A pointless fucking banter in an endless bout
With whiskey soaked frolic room tobacco
mouth
Then a sickening trip to what I call the
elitist cesspool
Beckoning all the sycophants and defeated
yes-fools
Hung over, broke, and a round of apologies
Now come down Martinez with the modern
mythology
(Chorus)
