 SA:
 We bust the sound
 The kids all gather round

 And what's comin' from their radios
 They all turn down
 SA:
 The creativeness
 We are scientists
 Nick:
 Move 'em with soul
 Move 'em with this
 ---> Play Verse 2 over:
 SA:
 When the bass kicks
 We get intimate
 Nick:
 With the music and the people
 Yeah they're into it
 SA:
 Takin' off cruisin through the air
 Both:
 The sound is aerodynmaic
 Let me take you there

 SA:
 I am a cool and mellow man

 If you got beef don't save it for later

 SA:
 Massive yang and yin on this earth we spin
 Sometimes I gotta center find out who I am

 SA:
 I gotta feel the pulse of the planet on my skin

 We all got demons we all gotta vice
 The struggle never ends
 To keep it in check
 But I never stop trying
 To make the trek whadup

 Nick:
 Which one is it who ya gonna believe
 Undivided in my material being
 Undivided life
 You can't fade me
 Desperate the cling I make to positvity
 Stay gettin it on til the doubt is gone
 If you could be dissuaded you were dead all along
 Like what's up now you can't fade me
 Still in that same old trade of positivity
