style But once in every while so I can File check file check the files of my
brain Many of meaning manage to come from the
insane And the butcher the baker the fabulous drama
maker A cracker on a truck goin' breaker,
breaker Listen to everyone then disregard
it The maningful shit comes back back to where
it started In your cranium surrounded by pot like a
geranuim A capital 2 burns in my mind give me some
peace I looked at her I looked at him and neither
one did know Where the wild thoughts grow check it
out ---> Play Riff 3: I look to absolutes and there's absolutely
none The truth is what you shoot for not
one Nothing brings it all together the journeys
never done I'd sing you Stormy Weather but it's been
sung so Let's have some fun ---> Play Riff 1 over: Three Eleven has grassroots come on
now Three Eleven has grassroots true Three Eleven has grassroots for your
momma Three Eleven has grassroots ---> Play Riff 4 over: Challenge comes and goes and there will be
another I say bring it on The roots that grow underground are as big
as the tree That you see if not it will fall
down ---> Play Riff 5 over: We waste so many moments standing on
convention The only survey is when our heart pays no
attention ---> Play Riff 1 over: Move with persistence cover much
distance Knowing no perdition that's my game for
instance Three Eleven true to no tradition And the Three Eleven crew not dow with
convention But a hundred different people already told
what we about So I make not attempt to try and suss the
stupid out I'd turned into a roughneck that was not my
intention It doesn't even really matter unless I fail
to mention that ---> Play Riff 2 over: Peace to all crews that want some
peace First the Mid then the West then we slide
through the East A piece to any crew that want a
piece ---> Play Riff 1 (2nd half)
over: But peace to all crews that want
peace Check it out ---> Play Riff 3 over: I look to absolutes and there's absolutely
none The truth is what you shoot for not
one Nothing brings it all together the journeys
never done I'd sing you Stormy Weather but it's been
sung so Let's have some fun ---> Play Riff 1 over: Three Eleven has grassroots come on
now Three Eleven has grassroots true Three Eleven has grassroots for your
momma Three Eleven has grassroots ---> Play Riff 4 over: Challenge comes and goes and there will be
another I say bring it on The roots that grow underground are as big
as the tree That you see if not it will fall
down ---> Play Riff 5 over: We waste so many moments standing on
convention The only survey is when our heart pays no
attention ---> Play Solo over Riff 5 ---> Play Ending (x1) Click here to return to my 311
