[Intro] [Pigeon John talking] I don't know. Yeah, yeah. I know-know that, I know that. I give up. Forget it. Now known as the once unknown way. Look at me dancing. Now known as the once unknown way. Look at me dancing. [Chorus] Whether I'm coolin' in Hawthorne or in the South Bay Huntington Beach or Costa Mae Out in Whittier, east or west L.A. Now known is the once unknown way I'm clueless [4x] [Verse One] Now is the time and time is now Go through situations and wonder how In the world is this thing gonna work on out When I'm filled with frustration with brings forth a shout or Tears packed in by years of memories and heartaches They roll down now with no breaks I do not see an answer to my quest No light in the tunnel makes me fumble all the rest of my Sanity, now I've poured all I have And doubt and anxiety begin to take there path To destroy my whole view and direct me On a fear driven road to a lost society Where trust is unheard of Life is absurd And vision itself is blind to what will occur That's the slow suffocation Calm d**h of life And planned a**a**ination of faith with a knife [Chorus] Whether I'm coolin' in Hawthorne or in the South Bay Huntington Beach or Costa Mae Out in Whittier, east or west L.A. Now known is the once unknown way I'm clueless [4x] I do not know what going to happen next State of mind is drenched with sweat of stay fresh The choice is mine Worry or recline With Kool-Aid in hand knowing all will come in time
But-but-but-but my mind Begins to spin Sending waves of confusion to erode the state I'm in So I cry out loud past the clouds And surrounding mountains casting my shroud Cause the God that I serve never let's me down He supplies all that I need, so why should I frown My life's His for the changing Replacing Things rearranging Brings true victory Joy unexplained Real through the pain cause it last and remains Hallelu, I've not a clue Of what precedes but I'm in the hands of John Sitilu And that's enough to abolish all hindrances Naked and bu*t free, showing what we live And I'm holding back I know I've got a lot to give Yet, I still don't know is that positive? Whether I'm coolin' in Haw... wait, wait, ok, ok [Chorus] Whether I'm coolin' in Hawthorne or in the South Bay Huntington Beach or Costa Mae Out in Whittier, east or west L.A. Now known is the once unknown way I'm clueless [4x] [Verse Three] The first time my crew split in '95 I was broke at the same time so alive And I wrote this little song in order to survive Trying to find out the seeds in my pie Cause they feeling like a big plank in my eye Are they here to hold back or to multiply And this nags like a bug but I know to hug The most complex question with a shrug [Chorus] Cooling in Hawthorne or in the South Bay Huntington Beach or Costa Mae Out in Whittier, east or west L.A. Now known is the once unknown way I'm clueless [4x]
