(Q-Tip) Listen to the bass (3x) Stanley on the bass Stanley Clarke to the bass One, two, to the bass (3x)
(1st) One, two, to the bass You gotta elevate your mind Look inside and you'll find All your answers to your outs Damage to your mind and your grind You can't have So you must eradicate it Some way no doubt Some blow trees Others take to their knees In the gloomiest of times For the hope of sunlit Some get lost Some lights blew the cross While others get through spark plugs in the pit By in the pit I mean steppin' away from the scene And recharging all the batteries you have inside And entering the new With all signs you grew In tact, in fact, you just stayed in touch Touch, touch........
(Stanley Solo)
(2nd) One, two, to the bass I gotta ignore the pace Of the next man and Work on my natural goal Diggin' on my God given me And the way that'll shine To everybody, and perhaps you all know Feeling my connection to the rest of the globe When somebody cries there It's a tear over here Standing up for moral The freedom of a being Standing up to the powers Not submitting in fear By in fear I mean stepping away from the scene And not doing my thing Doing my thing for love If love ain't supported Then my life gets aborted We resort to instincts that will leave us all done

(repeat 4x) If love ain't supported Then my life gets aborted We resort to instincts that will leave us all done -- & --
