Cruisin'
Us3 Lyrics

Now and then I feel as though I wanna escape the real
Sometimes I feel like I need to escape the harsh reality of life

And take a trip to the heavens to a world surreal
I wish to transcend the mundane and experience a surreal world

But I don't do drugs so the yea is out
I don't want to use drugs to achieve this state of mind

Instead I use my mind power to move my spirits about
I rely on the power of my mind to transport me to another realm

I might write my girl a poem showin' her how I love thee
I express my love through writing poetry for my girlfriend

Or just write myself a rhyme about why I'm so funky
I often write rhymes about myself and my unique style

This is how I escape the ignorance and hate being cooked up in this planet
This is my way of avoiding the negativity and hate in the world

About to disintegrate
The world seems to be falling apart

I'm cruisin', cruisin' in the beat y'all
I am enjoying the rhythm and music of the moment

I cover my head as the media shower
I protect myself from the constant barrage of media messages

I glance at my watch to check the hour
I keep track of time as I move through my day

And it's half past a moonbeam, gleamin' as I daydream
The time is indeterminate and dreamlike, adding to my sense of escapism

I'm feelin' for the beat to make my mood complete
I am searching for the perfect beat to match the tone of my day

And when I got it I'm gone, gone in the rhythm
When I find the right beat, I am lost in the music

Kickin' the slang with the knowledge and wisdom
I use my unique style of language to impart my wisdom

I may speak a scribbly doodle but I keep on track
My style of speaking may seem unconventional, but I stay true to my unique voice

'cause if I didn't yo you wouldn't be sweatin' it
If I tried to conform to conventional language, my audience would not appreciate my artistry

One to the two to the three to the four to the five
Counting the beats of the music as I get ready to perform

It's rardy-ardy-are and I'm kickin' it live
I am performing in real-time, in the moment

On an ever present journey through the depths of time
I move through my life, experiencing the past, present, and future as one

I skip from beat to beat in the form of a rhyme
My rhymes allow me to move from rhythm to rhythm with ease

My vocal techniques are unique to my band
My style of singing is specific to me and my collaborators

I'm a butterfly MC, smooth with much style G
I am a unique and talented MC with a smooth and stylish delivery

My tongue-like quivers when I deliver the funk flow
I am passionate about my music, and it shows in my delivery

The verbs expand with a ghettolistic glow
I use language that reflects my experience of growing up in the ghetto

It's like that y'all
That's just how it is, and that's okay
