Red Hot Chili Peppers — What It Is (Aka Nina's Song)

[Verse 1] Give it up to this time full of strife Get down, you might be fucking with the song of life Extend your deeper senses, there will be no fight At the never-ending ocean of perfect insights Around your molecule beam with a halo of light The animated aura will give delight Soon, your every single worry will be out of sight With the power of it, we are about to astound All your preconceptions, they will come unbound "Listen very close," my inner voice expounds "We are the human race, and we groove to the sound" Yes, we deliver the truth to our musical birth A soul-shocking sound with electrify the earth People have to know that it's not about money Cash is not the way to make your life sunny There is no need if you got the soul seed Love, life, and peace, it can only begin When you know in your heart that the change is within Love all your brothers and love all your sisters Love all the missus and love all the misses And don't be shy when you're sharing your kisses Greed, jealousy gets boos and hisses [Chorus] What it is, what it is, so much to be found What it is, what it is, groove down to the sounds What it is, what it is, what it is in a song What it is, what it is, you can do no wrong [Verse 2] Balance your life with the right kind of foods To eat a sad cow, is to eat another you Well, that's an unfair rap, it's unforgivably rude It'll put your karma in the worst of moods Someone drinkin' booze and taking too many ludes 'Cause when you cop, don't you cop an attitude And that's an ugly thing, it's not the real you So please, y'all, take some sound advice Be yourself, clear your mind, make a sacrifice The always sober you is especially nice [Verse 3] Don't loot, don't shout, give comet the boot I love it kickin' back and playin' my bamboo flute Refuse to fight wars for political whores Unsurpassed peace lines the salt water shores It is my notion that the perfect peace potion Can be found in the wake of the green sea ocean Long rocky swells of the mighty blue ocean Is the cradle of peace, it's the perfect peace potion There you will find it, with sweet sea creatures The smile of a dolphin is a built-in feature We will learn much peace with the whale as your teacher "Good morning class, how very nice to meet you." [Chorus] What it is, what it is, so much to be found What it is, what it is, groove down to the sounds What it is, what it is, what it is in a song What it is, what it is, you can do no wrong [Verse 4] Open up your hearts to the planets, to the stars With your spirit take, a trip from Venus to Mars You know, Einstein did while Hitler hid Now Albert lives forever in every single kid But, with Adolph Hitler, we are permanently rid Picasso, Mister Dali, and my man, Jimi Hendrix These cool brothers make the world go 'round Yeah, they do it with art, and Jimi did it with sound But, by all these men, it was found Each and every person can be just as renowned Don't let the world's racist creeds give your pretty face a frown Stand up for equal rights, I mean buckle down Go spread the word from town to town We are the human race and we groove to the sounds [Outro] Red hot Red hot, red hot, red hot, red hot Now that you've heard what it is in a song From here on in, you can do not wrong
