"Omaha Stylee" lyrics
"Omaha Stylee"
W-w-ww-w-w-w-wake the town and tell the people
311
311
311 is
The people, what's up, the people, what's up
311
311
311 is
The people, what's up, the people, what's up
In a minute, everything you have can all be straight gone
In a minute, things you thought were tied
Can come straight undone
How about some knocks on wood, some so far, it's so good
Any day, what you think is solid earth can jump up
And spread out to the north and south
That's what plates are about
Nature has no conscience, no kindness or ill will but
The dreams they had make me sad
Because of the vibes of them
When one girl dreamt a fire in hers
And then it happened to me and my family
My bro's and I were driving
The RV bleeding flames
Us leaping through fire surviving
Zoned with no home, there was fire all on it
Um let me have my life, I want it
I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna
I'm gonna tell you and then I said
We're comin' in kill, we're comin' in chill
We're comin' in how we will
Want to tell the whole world what's the deal
And I say know no critical border 'cause we do what we want
Got more funky styles than my laser jet got font
Not one to get over sounding like the norm
Friendly to the radio, all that shit is corn
All we coming with is a little bit of swing
And we go on like it ain't no thing, and I say
Omaha stylee did not think there was one
Where you know the radio's weak and the shows are more fun
But you know we fucked up the dance hall since 1988
Many did not think when they hear we come from this state
Still we're down like that, still we're down like that
Still we're down like that, kickin' the funk that smells of skunk
Omaha stylee did not think there was one
Where you know the radios weak and the shows are more fun
But you know we fucked up the dance hall since 1988
Many did not think when they hear we come from this state
The dance hall that we come from was a pool table basement
The bud was low-key and the records were Jamaican, but uh
Such occasions occur back in the day
It begins you're a raw kid all the way
Son of a gun, but then you drifted
All are endowed, but few are gifted
At the break of dawn, behavin' like a spy
Lampin' in the light, the cold world awakens
Deeper is the light to open up the sky
Look into my eyes and see the dilating
Omaha Stylee is the shit we come with man
Embedded in our souls it breathes out from this band
We always knew that we could
Thank you if you too thought we would
Not one to get over sounding like the norm
Friendly to the radio, all that shit is corn
All we coming with is a little bit of swing
And we go on like it ain't no thing and I say
Omaha stylee did not think there was one
Where you know the radios weak and the shows are more fun
But you know we fucked up the dance hall since 1988
Many did not think when they hear we come from this state
Still we're down like that, still we're down like that
Still we're down like that, kickin' the funk that smells of skunk
We will arise, explore these worlds and find the grassroots
How to crew to do the grinding of the grounds to brew
My dude on the one to come off like Teflon
Rock your shit and you will rise on
If you're a farmer out standing in your field, say uh
Do as you will, do as you wish, follow your bliss, say uh
We travel around the country giving it our best
We like to see the people dancing
And bouncing and the rest
The hammer and the chisel and the rule it compass
We forge a sword, the chariots of war, a battle axe
There's much power in anger, but loves a bigger banger
Complete props to my crew 'cause this is how we do
Omaha Stylee
Thanks to Kim for correcting these lyrics.

I'm talkin' to myself more

Someone's pouring warm gravy all over me

But, oh what...

To sell it to you or anyone he can

Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I don't wanna be your downtime
I don't wanna be your stupid game

Primus - "Electric Uncle Sam" I am the plan, I am the man
who tells you what and when you can.
I'm the old one that torments you.
I am the voice that tells you to:
