Well, you 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 blaming Ad-Rock, Mike D and MCA Yeah, it was Beasties on my mind pretty much all the time Till I started smoking pot and figured out about Sublime Oh my God, I never wanted something so badly I wanted to 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 loving 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 loving my guitar the way that B.B. loved Lucille Can you feel it (yeah) I'm like 6 damn strings never sounded so appealing Can you 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, little J was in the womb My mom would put the headphones 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? " That's what I was thinkin' while I prayed 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 I'm home Can you feel it (yeah) I'm like 6 damn strings never sounded so appealing Can you 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 shelved Because these people don't believe in me But I'm a fill the shelf up Before they hear the end of me I'll be writin' songs until the end of all eternity I never went to college, man, my band was my fraternity 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 you feel it (yeah) I'm like 6 damn strings never sounded so appealing Can you 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 in you, like you
