This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four
Out the gate I brought the horsepower
Rev-Mex to your hard drive
We run a hard bargain
Pardon the trip
I sneeze jealousies into these rhyme cartel
We park the art well
Hung on all fours, box and start sell
Available to you and yours
Other songs only make attempts
To love they inner
Understand I am just saying it
To validate displaying Ozomatli
Stance at first glance
It's like the train
Brought to hit you like James
With the 1, 2, 3, 4
True martial arts
Official souls my brainchild
Sing the song name now
1, 2, 3, 4
Bust a track till they flat on they back
Have the referee smacking the mat like
1, 2, 3, 4
We do it on the phone
When we stuff the funk in it, huh
Now wait a minute, so allot of us
Yo, I'm the East Coast south paw
Hanging with these West Coast north stars
Shining bright, height five elev'
Come on
Formatic for the handlin' the trouble
Comin' my way
The highway to heaven
Is a long road among the lyrical coves
The bus
Allot of us
Punk minds with the one of a kind rhymes
I .M.C., spit, kick for fee
Then all, not the player baby
But I running while you crawl
Too fast on your comprehension
Did I mention
Dave Madden scored a goal from the team
Second team I
I'm ready for crunch time
The lunch line was my favorite
Till I graduated to bus
Uh, uh, then I spewed to spit it
Now it's the three of us
Connected like Siameses
We on time
Like shiny bits of metal
Strapped to your wrist
We are tattoo to this rap thing
With invisible ink
I'm gone in a blink
Lethal like my pinkie
And clown like Bozo
Don't you know that Ozo bring the
1, 2, 3, 4
To hard to face
But lovin' the taste
Squeeze it out like paste alright
1, 2, 3, 4
Plug 2 will only rock a few
So now I roll with Ozomatli crew
Bringing you

We know the backs to break

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
