fusty \FUHS-tee\, adjective:
1. old-fashioned or out-of-date, as architecture, furnishings, or the like: They still live in that fusty, gingerbread house.
2. having a stale smell; moldy; musty: fusty rooms that were in need of a good airing.

It's 311 Day!
So here's 311 on 3/11 at 3:11!
311 - Down
Chill. light on my sight as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
While i scatter my spit i dream of juice
Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kiss that made your day or say
Play a track from your record collection
It's your mix, congratulations
[Chorus:]
We've changed a lot and then some some
Know that we have always been down down
And if i ever didn't thank you you
Then just let me do it now
I bet you light up when we start the show follow me now
Very closely because i told you so you know
We glow because we throw sun rays
We be freaky and we want to stay
[Chorus]
Lightning strikes yo we be in that violent force of light
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolemite
'cause we're dope kidchange like a chameleon
And the channel whenever that wack show real world is on
You know we dazzle like ghetto box boomin' battles
Rattle inside your head feel redeemed like cola bottles
Fall in love with you teachers on the wax
We are self made check the technique 311 in LA
[Chorus]
Keep my feet on the ground
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
Comes from the down
And
[Chorus]

Do You Right
Passin' the kind buds
Kickin' back in the sand, in the sun
To be alive is loving
Where the shore meets the sea, man I'm hummin', I'm hummin'
I'm free, as I stare at the sea
And I'm not comin' down
The world is yours once you have found
The good is to share
Which is elsewhere
The beauty of green is where light is now broken
By what it touches
Remembering
What you once had told me hit home
And hasn't it always been so
I'm free as I stare at the sea
And I'm not comin' down
The world is yours once you have found
The good is to share
Which is elsewhere
Like I said before, I'll say it once more
Knew you would make me feel so good
Wanna do you right
Can't get enough, this is the stuff
Life's about, and it trips me up
Gonna do you right
I can do you right
Bright mornings
Days when I want so much, I want nothing
Just this life and no more
I'll come within this world
There's only one for me, she's waiting
I'll soon come
I'm free as I stare at the sea
And I'm not comin' down
The world is yours once you have found
The good is to share
Which is elsewhere
Like I said before, I'll say it once more
Knew you would make me feel so good
Wanna do you right
Can't get enough, this is the stuff
Life's about, and it trips me up
Gonna do you, do you, do you, do you, do you
Free from the burn, the burnin of spite
And, free from the burn, the burn, you do me right
No buzz hack, no buzz hack, no buzz hack, no buzz hack
Swing the thing you bring, check it out
How could you be so good to me?
How could you be so good to me?
I want to be worth
Want to be worth
Buzz, hack, hack, hack, buzz
Yea swing to the thing you bring and check it out
Like I said before, I'll say it once more
Knew you would make me feel so good
Wanna do you right
Can't get enough, this is the stuff
Life's about, and it trips me up
Gonna do you right
I can do you right
