Na da da da, na dow

verse(upstroke G and F for this verse below)
Feel the bass knives pass flesh enter your bone, solitude in your dance floor
rhythm zone Let your body go just don't follow the letter, Do what you feel the
more absurd the better Don't be afraid whatever you got show, Flaunt your personality
Let um know your stylo, you could make a mean hand outta what you've been dealt
311 on wax, wax on felt

Feelin real great cuz the weather's mild, so you re-evaluate your personal style

Feelin real great cuz the weathers mild so you check us out on tour cuz you're

Feelin real great cuz the weather's mild, so you re-evaluate your personal style
what makes you laugh, stands apart, what makes you feel good whats in your heart
To every foundation and every crew, I've got the median, here's what we're gonna do
Sendin out props straight from us to you, To every foundation and every crew, I've got the median, here's what we're gonna do
Sendin out props straight from us to you, From the malibu shores to the Brooklyn
Zoo, we've got the median, here's what we're gonna do, you wanna touch us we wanna
touch you too, Givin respect to those who keepin it true
bridge
If you are real or a replica, if your steez be like Akira wild ass Souix
or the Chippewa, your tribe's Pawnee of the Omaha, you can touch me with your fresh aura
Cuz your energy be phenomena, NOw move the people and then, oila, take on the love
and the good karma

Hope you like it, it took forever to do.
