[Verse 1]
Feel the bass knives 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 stylee
You could make a mean hand out of what you been dealt
311 on wax, wax on felt
[Pre-Chorus]
Feelin’ real great 'cause 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 'cause the weather is mild
So you check us out on tour 'cause 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, oh!
[Verse 2]
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
'Cause your energy be phenomena
Now move the people and then oila
Take on the love and the good karma
[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, oh!
[Bridge]
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]
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, oh!
