We bust the sound
The kids all gather round

They all turn down

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

Takin' off cruisin through the air

The sound is aerodynmaic
Let me take you there

If you got beef don't save it for later

Massive yang and yin on this earth we spin

We all got demons we all gotta vice
The struggle never ends

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
