The Emotron Lyrics

I quietly observe standing in my space
I am staying still and watching the world around me quietly

Way that we say 'em in, style that we write 'em in
We speak and write differently

Massive Attack, we keep it strong just like a vitamin
Our music is powerful and beneficial like a vitamin

Going for the positive and wiping out the negative songs
We focus on creating positive music and eliminate negative ones

'Cause brother, it's relative
Because it depends on the situation

The pass is picking up all the lyrics on the dance floor
The sound system is capturing all the lyrics being sung on the dance floor

That raise your spirit level 'cause it demands for
The music moves you and makes you feel more energized

Attitude is cool, degrees below zero
We keep a cool attitude even in tough situations

Up against the wall, behaving like de Niro
We are standing firm and determined like Robert De Niro in a movie

Tricky's performing, taking his phono
Tricky is on stage performing and using his record player

Making a stand with a tan, touch it like cocoa
We take a stand and are confident and appealing like the color of cocoa

Smooth to keep you moving at the back now
Our music is smooth and keeps you dancing at the back of the room

Free is the needle, it's moving through the track now
The record player needle is freely moving through the track of the record

Dance to the drummer's beats, we need new sticks
We dance to the drummer's rhythm and need fresh sticks to continue playing

Bounce around the vibes like acoustics
We move around energetically in response to the beats like sound waves

No drugs or pharmaceuticals
We don't need drugs or medicine to enhance our experience

For the body ain't suitable
They are not good for our physical health

Stick with liquid me and trick we've drop
We prefer drinking liquids and enjoying the music we've made

A paper which you use my tongue to lick with
We pass around rolling paper and use our tongue to wet it and smoke with

Trouble and strife ain't no sunshine in my life
Problems and conflicts bring darkness and have a negative impact on my life

Wiseguys get protection when they carry a knife
Criminals get protected when they carry weapons

They shouldn't have been born, they're making me yawn
Those people are boring and make me feel sleepy

But I just take it easy, it's a sunday morning
I relax and take it easy, as it's a lazy Sunday morning

So you come on light my fire and together we'll grow
Join me and we'll inspire each other to grow together

Forever watch my Akai rig go
Watch me make music using my Akai music equipment

Because my Akai rig goes boom boom
My Akai music setup produces powerful, booming music

Yeah, rhyming the jam and we got the stamina
We have the skill and energy to continue creating great music that rhymes

In case you never know us if we don't give a damn and uh
Even if you don't know us, we don't care and we continue doing our thing

And it's hard to handle keep your distance
It's difficult to deal with us, so it's better to stay away

Resist and the posse gets the pleasure of this dance
If you challenge us, we'll enjoy the dance battle with you

The cool breeze that you welcome in the heat
The pleasant air current that comes in and cools you down when it's hot

You don't see it but you feel it when it's blowing on the street
You can't see the breeze, but you feel its effect when it blows on the street

It's the devious days they call the rat race
We are living in challenging and deceitful times that people call the rat race

It's a concrete jungle, evil in the town
We are living in a city filled with concrete buildings and negativity

Weebles, wobble, occasional squabble
We sometimes have conflicts, but we try to stay upright and balanced like Weebles toys

But what happen when the bomb drops down
What will happen in the event of a destructive explosion

Don't make sound
Stay quiet and don't make any noise

The dancefloor's a desert and the dancers are parched
The dance floor is not lively, and the dancers are thirsty for good music

Do a rain dance and your brain's still marsh
Even if we try to evoke a change and do a rain dance, our minds are still in a foggy state

My heavy, my brother get lighter than helium
My burdened heart becomes lighter than helium when I dance and enjoy music with my brother

Float above the world to break the tedium
We rise above the mundane world and break the routine through the power of music

Living in my headphones Sony's what I say to 'em
I live in my headphones, and I recommend Sony headphones to others

The surreal boom of the Budokan stadium
The powerful and awe-inspiring sound of music I heard at the Budokan stadium

Well, I'm floating on air
I am feeling light and elated

Well, I'm tricky kid, don't deal with sadness
I am tricky and don't deal with sadness

Can't be with the one I love, I love the one that I miss
I am not with the person I love, but I still love and miss them

I'm very down to earth, but brain sits on top floor
I am humble, but I still have a sharp and intelligent mind

Don't need another lover, just need, I'm insecure
I don't need another person for love; I just have insecurities

The weather is changing the storms be shaking
The climate is changing, and the storms are becoming more severe

The love that you take is equal to the love you're makin
The love you receive is proportional to the love you give

Here comes the sun, little darling, here comes the sun
Things will get better; good times are coming

It's alright
Everything is okay

Maggie this, Maggie that, Maggie means inflation
The mention of Maggie Thatcher causes inflation and is common discussion

Hip-hop you don't stop 'cause I'm not sloppy
I am not lazy, so hip-hop music doesn't stop playing

I like the beat, so we need another copy
I like the music beat so much, we need to make another copy of the record

We're natives of the massive territory and we're proud
We are part of the large hip-hop music scene, and we are proud of it

Get peaceful in the dance, adapt the glory and the crowd
Become calm and peaceful while dancing, enjoying the glory of the moment and the people around

The problem ain't a different kind of skin tricks
The issue is not about differences in skin color or cultural background

I love my neighbour, I don't wait for the olympics
I love and respect my neighbor and don't wait for a big event like the Olympics to appreciate them

See you go hooligan, you're trying to play the fool again
You are behaving like a hooligan and trying to act foolish again

Caught you in the lost and found
We caught you acting foolish or lost in the moment

When your posse weren't around
When your friends weren't around to support you

So you're going for you tool again
You are returning to acting foolish again

Daydreaming
Thinking about things or ideas that are not present or real

Well, I'm floating on air
I am feeling light and elated

When I'm daydreaming
During the state of dreaming or imagining things
