1, 2 to the Bass Songtext

von Stanley Clarke

Featuring Q-tip

(Q-Tip)
Listen to the bass Stanley on the bass
Stanley Clarke to the bass
One, two, to the bass (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

(Stanley Solo)

(3rd)
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
