Well ya never quite forget the first tape ya bought
Mine was Naughty by Nature back when Op was hot
Who'da thought
I could never turn out this way
I'm blamin' Ed Rock, Mike D and MCA
Yeah it was Beasties on my mind pretty much all the time
Till I started smokin' pot and figured out about Sublime
Oh my god, I never wanted somethin' so badly
I want to learn to play guitar and sing just like Bradley
And the B-lines that Eric dropped reminded me of hip-hop
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 to help me deal
And now I'm lovin' my guitar the that BB loved Lucile
Can ya feel it? Yeah
I'm like six damn strings never sounded so appealing
Can ya feel it? Yeah
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 when little J was in the womb
My mom would put the headphones on her belly, and felt 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
That's what I was thinkin' while I'm prayin' on my knees
But now that I'm grown
I've found a sound of my own
I'm in the studio now and I feel like I'm home
Can ya feel it? Yeah
I'm like six damn strings never sounded so appealing
Can ya feel it? Yeah
I'm like once you grab the mic, you better sing like you believe
Like you believe
Like you believe
Like you believe
Well now my music's been shelfed because these people don't believe in me
But I'ma fill the shelf up before they hear the end of me
I'll be writin' songs til the end of all eternity
I never went to college man my band was my fraternity
I never stick my nose into shit that ain't concernin' me
But I'll be the first to swing man if you're burnin' me
Every day you wait is just another day wasted
I'm so damn close man I can taste it
Can ya feel it? Yeah
I'm like six damn strings never sounded so appealing
Can ya feel it? Yeah
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
Like you believe in you, like you
Like you believe in you, like you
Like you believe in you, like you
