[MCA] People how you doing there's a new day dawning
[M.D] For the earth mother it's a brand new morning
[Adr] For such a long while there's been such a longing
[All] BUT NOW THE SUN IS SHINING LET'S ROLL BACK THE AWNING

[MCA] This is a type of kinda like a formal dedication
[M.D] Giving out a shout
[Adr] for much inspiration
[M.D] All I ever really want to do is GET NICE
GET LOOSE and goof MY LITTLE SLICE OF LIFE
[MCA] Sendin' out love to all corners of the land
[Adr] I jump up on the stage and take the mic in my hand
[M.D] I'm not playin' the roll
[Adr] just being who I am
[MCA] And if you try to dis me I couldn't give a damn

{Scratching}
*Cause I'm Rockin, Rockin', Rockin', Rock, Rock, Rockin'*
*Yeah* *Get Down*
*Rock, Rock, Rock on, Rock, Rock, Rock on, Rock, Rock, Rock on*
*Mic, Mic, Mic Control, Mic, Mic, Mic Control,
Mic, Mic, Mic, Mic Control*
*Can you get my drift?*

[MCA] Bass from the back of my car feels soothing
[Adr] Eight bazookas is what I'm using
[M.D] I'm Mike D and it's been proven
[All] I LOVE IT WHEN I SEE THE PARTY PEOPLE JUST MOVIN'
[MCA] Strapped on the ear goggles and what did I see?
[All] BUT THE MUSIC BROUGHT THE PEOPLE INTO HARMONY

{*Scratching*}

    General Comment:Extremely strong opening to an incredible album. Check Your Head is one of the best albums I've ever heard! From beginning to end it kicks ass in so many ways. Seriously, there is nothing that sucks here. I bought it when it came out & it still hasn't gotten old. The 2009 remaster is worth the money. A whole extra disc with the b-sides & remixes.

    General Comment:side note: Jimmy james was what some of jimmii hendrix's friends used to call him, a hendrix guitar loop is used in this song

    i know this isnt a meaning but i thought it would be good to add it.
