Song:   Pass the Vibe
                                      
             Emotion and thought I've got I've got a lot of it
          For Mr. Blake's sake initiate it if you've caught a bit
              Fresh for the passing a check is for the cashing
           The vibe is still alive 'cause positive is everlasting
                                      
               Wrinch yourself off recognize and then send it
              If it's of another then discover how to blend it
        Use and spread it out some or lose it and catch another one
            10-8 cultivate it if you hate it let the colors run
                                      
            And bleed 'til you see the hues taking on a new tone
          Negative ain't relative unless it gives a clue to domes
         Chase at a fast pace the taste that makes your face smile
             Or waste it and embrace a case of the fake styles
                                      
             Just keep it going on keep the feeling flowing on
      Lose the crap and make it happen soon you'll see it growing long
                And lovely above the soil before the harvest
         Have respect when selecting the buds and leave the largest
                                      
                  Take a closer look in the book this time
          Read and see the pictures while you listen to the rhyme
              Think about the summer when the bank got started
         Remember where you were when the vibe was first imparted?
                                      
                     "Ooh, yeah. Damn I can't remember"
           I was probably in the squid wasting crazy legal tender
             With Caitlin and Max stealing pens behind my back
           They kept my mind off track but I guess I needed that
                                      
             Now I'm getting vibes from a thousand one sources
        Looking to trade the flavors chasing a thousand one courses
                Outward still in step kid you'd better know
              That if you just tip toe on stage you can't flow
                                      
        You've got to take a chance dance and shake it kid you can't
                 Fake it don't be afraid you won't break it
                    Make it happen must I say it again?
          And begin to ascend you can't hold back the Mimina-Miser
       'Cause I compose the prose in more than an effort to devise a
             New way of thinking bringing people back together
        Good tidings on the way just like the days of cloudy weather
                                      
        In the autumn fill the bottom with funky bass-string plucks
          And Talbott will keep it tight like Hollywood butt-tucks
              The Five Fingers of Funk as prescribed by Dr. T.
                 Pete Miser on the mic I'm strictly L.V.P.
                                      
           They retaught me how to listen and got me on a mission
     Mic ripping to the riffs that they be kicking out the kitchen the
                 Coalition got stronger the song got longer
         But let me speak my peace before my mind begins to wander
                                      
                               Pass the Vibe
