Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Introduction (:40)
---> Play Intro
---> Play Riff 1 over:
In a minute everything you have can all be straight gone
In a minute things you thought were tied can come straight undone
---> Play Riff 2 over:
How about some knocks on on wood some so far it's good any day
---> Play Riff 1 over:
What you think is solid earth can jump up and spread out
To the north and to the south that's what plates are about
---> Play Riff 3 over:
Nature has no conscience, no kindness or ill will
---> Play Riff 1 over:
The dreams they had make me sad because of the vibes of them
When one girl dreamt a fire in hers and then it happened
---> Play Riff 2 over:
To me and my family my bro's and I were driving the RV
---> Play Riff 1 over:
Bleeding flames us leaping through fire surviving
Zoned with no home there was fire all on it
---> Play Riff 3 over:
Umm let me have my life I want it
---> Play Riff 4 over:
I'm gonna let you know that I said
---> Play Riff 5 over:
We're comin' in kill we're comin' in chill
We're comin' in how we will
Want to tell the whole world how what's the deal
And I say know no critical border cause we do what we want
Got more funky styles than my laser jet got font
Not one to get over sounding like the norm
Friendly to the radio, all that shit is corn
All we coming with is a little bit of swing
And we go on like it ain't no thing and I say
---> Play Riff 6 over:
Omaha stylee did not think there was one where you know the
Radios weak and the shows are more fun but you know we
Fuck up the dance hall since 1988
Many did not think when they hear we come from this state
---> Play Riff 7 over:
Still we're down like that
Still we're down like that
Still we're down like that
Makin' the funk that smells of skunk
---> Play Riff 6 over
Omaha stylee did not think there was one where you know the
Radios weak and the shows are more fun but you know we
Fuck up the dance hall since 1988
Many did not think when they hear we come from this state
---> Play Riff 7 over:
The dance hall that we come from has a pool table basement
The decor was low-key and the records were Jamaican
---> Play Riff 1 over:
Such occasions occur back in the day
It begins you're a raw kid all the way
---> Play Riff 2 over:
Son of a gun but then you drifted
All are endowed but few are gifted
---> Play Riff 1 over:
Lampin' in the light the cold world awakes
---> Play Riff 3 over:
Deeper is the light to open up the sky
---> Play Riff 4 over:
Look into my eyes and see the dialating
---> Play Riff 5 over:
Omaha Stylee is the shit we come with man
Embedded in our souls it breaths out from this band
We always knew that we could
Thank you if you too thought we would
Not one to get over sounding like the norm
Friendly to the radio, all that shit is corn
All we coming with is a little bit of swing
And we go on like it ain't no thing and I say
---> Play Riff 6 over:
Omaha stylee did not think there was one where you know the
Radios weak and the shows are more fun but you know we
Fuck up the dance hall since 1988
Many did not think when they hear we come from this state
---> Play Riff 7 over:
Still we're down like that
Still we're down like that
Still we're down like that
Kickin' the funk that smells of funk
We will arise
---> Play Riff 8 over:
Explore these worlds and find the grass roots how to
Crew to do the grinding of the grounds to brew
My dude on the one to come off like Teflon
Rock your shit and you will rise on
If you're a farmer outstanding in your field say uhh
Do as you will do as you wish follow your bliss say uhh
We travel around the world giving it our best
We like to see the people dancing and the bouncing and the rest
---> Play Riff 9 over:
The hammer and the chisel and the rule it compass
We forge a sword the chariots of war a battle axe
There's much power in anger but loves a bigger banger
Complete props to my crew cause this is what we do
---> Play Ending over:
Omaha Stylee
