well ya never quite forget the first tape you bought
mine was naughty by nature back when opp was hot
who'd have thought that i could ever turn out this way
i'm blamin ad rock mic d and mca
yeah it was beasties on mind pretty much all the time
till i started smokin pot and figured out about sublime
oh my god i never wanted something so badly
i wanna learn to play guitar and sing just like bradley
and the b lines that eric dropped reminded me of hip hop
and i'm singin lovin is what i got i got i got
cause when the lovin was gone
i learned to play the blues through stevie ray vaughn
i needed music for all the ways it helped me feel
and now i'm lovin my guitar the way that bb loved lucielle
can you feel it (yeahhhh)
i'm like 6 [bad word] strings never sounded so appealin
can you feel it (yeahhhh)
i'm like once you grab the mic you better sing like you believe
like you believe, like you believe, like you believe,

well bob marley was the tune little j was in the womb
my mom'd put the head phones on her belly feel me move
and every jimi hendrix riff i'd give her a little kick
just to let her know to turn it up a little bit
and please when i grow up can i sound like police
thats what i was thinkin while i'm prayin on my knees
but now that i'm grown i found a sound of my own
i'm in the studio now and i feel like i'm home
can you feel it (yeahhhh)
i'm like 6 [bad word] strings never sounded so appealin
can you feel it (yeahhhh)
i'm like once you grab the mic you better sing like you believe
like you believe, like you believe, like you believe, like you believe

well now my musics for shelf because these people dont believe in me
but i'm fill the shelf up before they hear the end of me
ill be writing songs til the end of all eternity
i never went to college man my band was my fraternity
never stick my nose in this [bad word] that aint concerning me
but ill be the first to swing man if ya burnin me
everyday ya wait's just another day wasted
im so [bad word] close man i can taste it
can you feel it (yeahhhh)
i'm like 6 [bad word] strings never sounded so appealin
can you feel it (yeahhhh)
i'm like once you grab the mic you better sing like you believe
like you believe, like you believe, like you believe, like you believe
like you believe in you, like you,
like you believe in you, like you...
