Words (unofficial):

===================

If you want more beats for your blood there's no love

If you want more beats for your blood there's no luck

If you want more beats for your blood there's no love

Then there's no love

Then again if can't for jammin then I don't understand

Music critics Music that ticks

The greater the guy will tell he's never been in our mix

Been in our mix, been in our mix

From the grassroots So big to out friends

Every crew, every click and every posse

Pick up to nod their heads not of hypocrisy

You're a transistor Lightning resister

Conduction to the mother star Yes, that's what you are

Yeah.....

Reggae sound system 311

Three Eleven

From the stars to another planet

Then here once again

Odds on our tip

Odds on our ticks

Wanna take to the universe

Soul hollow black trip (?)

Cosmic Remix

From the serious blue planet

We can breathe anywhere

Underwater, Out in space, and in LA

The polluted there's no problem

The soul has no maze

 #
 #NOTE: ANOTHER INTERPRETATION OF THIS SONG, AND ONE THAT I NOW THINK IS THE
 #RIGHT WAY TO PLAY IT, IS TO PLAY ONLY THE NOTES LISTED ON THE LOW "E"
 #STRING, AND NOT THE ONES ON THE "A" STRING. IN OTHER WORDS, PLAY THE
 #SINGLE NOTES ON THE "E" STRING INSTEAD OF THE POWER CHORDS LISTED BELOW,
 #BUT ONLY IN "VERSE RIFFS 1 & 2", "CHORUS RIFF 1", AND "RIFF 3". THE OTHER
 #RIFFS SHOULD BE PLAYED AS LISTED BELOW.

 ===================
 If you want more beats for your blood there's no love
 If you want more beats for your blood there's no luck
 If you want more beats for your blood there's no love
 If you want more beats for your blood there's no love
 Then there's no love
 Then again if can't for jammin then I don't understand
 Music critics Music that ticks
 The greater the guy will tell he's never been in our mix
 Been in our mix, been in our mix
 From the grassroots So big to out friends
 Every crew, every click and every posse
 Pick up to nod their heads not of hypocrisy
 You're a transistor Lightning resister
 Conduction to the mother star Yes, that's what you are
 Yeah.....

 Three Eleven
 From the stars to another planet
 Then here once again
 Odds on our tip
 Odds on our ticks
 Wanna take to the universe
 Soul hollow black trip (?)
 Cosmic Remix
 Cosmic Remix
 From the serious blue planet
 We can breathe anywhere
 Underwater, Out in space, and in LA
 The polluted there's no problem
 The soul has no maze
