Structure: ====================== ---> Play Riff 1 (a+b) over: Ooh you know we pepper you With a sonic assault side step a you I cannot think of a better way That we could celebrate freedom Than make up a set of goals and cold beat 'em See dumb verbal tags like audio spaghetti Give a shout to the one they call Yeti I bet he put the cabash on any foes whatsoever Like original brodel Trevor ---> Play Riff 2 over: Positive vibe merchant grandson of Lord Buckley Scottish Ralston shows up if you're lucky Ad Raspler the sweed a friend in deed He's keeping an eye on the other guy's greed These are 311 characters I dubbed everyone The story ain't over but my rhyme is done It was the year that I first touched ground So I grabbed the microphone and I got down ---> Play Riff 3 over: Just like James Brown gather round of our sight and sound Pound for pound we throw down rather profound I'll put you in another world I can't hear you Like having phone sex with a deaf girl No doubt we got the jams that'll smack ya I penned three books of lyrics 2 for action 1 for backup 'Cuz I'm a cold rockin' brother got transistor tunes And it feels real good to get close to you ---> Play Chorus (a+b) over: The brodels is the nazz and the nazz knows where it's at The brodels is the nazz who knows a cat who can feed a cat The goal is to be a poet and a carpenter To be one who loves to be one who works The nazz not something that can be given The brodel is inside you it comes from within ---> Play Riff 1 (a+b) over: When I feel into the sea When the world came and kissed me Transformed my shit told the shark I was a dolphin Swam quick funny though Pirranahs chilled and laughed at The way that I took off my polka dots on top of that The whales know I'm quick watch out And I get funky fresh as for the fishes I'm lit luminous I'm not nouveau techno I glow like a glacial In skin that swims faster than speed ---> Play Riff 2 over: I am I be dropped out of nothing I will return to nothing Rotate my style my rhyme my way magician of a rhythm Lover of animals damn I wanna hear 'em Aquatic my way I got soul shape Well I'm 6 foot 3 and like Mohammed Ali I float like a butterfly but sting like poison ivy Drive a 69 lincoln suicide doors Around the town I'm slinking fat subs of course ---> Play Riff 3 over: We're the greatest show on earth You know we turn it out daily In and out of town like Barnum and Bailey I know that is a simile but I couldn't resist From Solomon Roadie for the PJ's I don't think he'll be pissed I eat a cobb salad, smoked fish, duck, or clam chowder Chill with indica and Guinness Steer clear of white powder I run into my brother give him a pound and a yodel They know my word is bond talkin' bout the brodels ---> Play Chorus (a+b) over: The brodels is the nazz and the nazz knows where it's at The brodels is the nazz who knows a cat who can feed a cat The goal is to be a poet and a carpenter To be one who loves to be one who works The nazz not something that can be given The brodel is inside you it comes from within ---> Play Ending over: And we're fresh dude just check my man P He said I will not muddle my mind with impertinency Lost a lot in Vegas plays a lot of Sega Saw a phrase that he likes and put it on his leg And we're fresh dude just check my man D he said Comin' in ruff and tuff all systems are tweakin' People all over the world they must be thinkin' All the shit that we kickin' our shoes must be stinkin' == Last Updated: January 29, 1996 ==
