A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
While i scatter my spit i dream of juice
Displayed a kiss that made your day or say
Played a track from your record collection
It's your mix congratulations
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you
Then just let me do it now
Follow me now very closely cause i told you so
You know we glow because we throw sunrays
We be freaky and we wanna stay
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you
Then just let me do it now
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolemite
Cuz we're dope kid change like a chameleon and the
Channel whenever that wack show real world is on
Rattle inside your head feel redeemed like cola bottles
Fall in love with your teachers on the wax
We are self made check the technique,311 in LA
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you
Then just let me do it now
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
Comes from the down-and
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you
Then just let me do it now
I think everyone has positive intentions in their interpretations... but many are thinking to hard. I recently saw on TV and this guy talking about spirituality and one thing he was talking about was "The down". The part keep my head on the ground keep my head in the clouds hes saying you can be down to earth and still get high, it doesn't make you a moron. Then he says "comes from the down" and if you watch the music video they're meditating (which i do often) with that huge sumo looking guy. So i believe hes saying most nuances come from the down, which may be a deep state of meditation. I wish i could see that spirituality show again to listen more about "the down". With that said, the comments about fans being down is all legitimate, oh and also on the transitor CD cover those metal things are dudes sitting in a meditative position. Something to think about i guess. Stay positive
This was the very first song that got me hooked. This song i think, is one of there best. its one of my favorite rock alternative song, and 311 needs to be played a lot more on the radio!!
this song is 311 thanking all there loyal fans
get down with tha 311 style cuz they rock it, and they thank u.
they're basically thanking the fans that have been true and stayed with them throughout their career.
It's definitely a song for the fans. Nothing compares to hearing this song live...
i agree with all of you. great song, great band, if you've never seen them live you really have no idea what 311 is all about.
well bwebb, presonallyl, i dont think 311 needs to be played on the radio anmore than what they already are, because they already have a HUGE AND SOLID fanbase... "Friendly to the radio, all the shit is corn" they just dotn belong on hte radio...so just pop in the cd and let it play...:):)
I disagree, ate_16am. I think 311 should get as much radio play as they can. With all the negativity in music these days, I think it'd be great for as many people to hear them as possible. Radio play isn't gonna change my opinion of them..and I dont think it'll change the opinions of any other hardcore 311 fans. 311 definitely deserve the attention.
BAH! how dare u disagree! lol j/k...but what i meant, is that 311 has such a fanbase that they can get more fans grassroots style. BUT if we are talking about radio in general and the type of music on the radio, 311 should definately be played more to help "dilute the system"
