[Life]
You couldn't escape this music even if your
name's Houdini
Our tracks say Lah for Life and don't disappear
like a genie
Communicating through your airwaves like a giant
C.B.
'cause this one's for your radios or whether you
recieve me
Our music is so hot, it feels like the sun in
Tahiti
We rickety-rock, Gorillaz style is buck wild,
believe me
We heavyweights who phase ya like Ali did with
Frasier
We spit the most flava but musically, we'll amaze
ya
We've been blessed and we've been gifted like
Jesus in his manger
Won't you shout 'Hallelujah!' Here comes your
music saviour
From your heart to your mind, your spirits to
your souls,
we've come to take control with the Gorillaz on
patrol
See, our rhymes possess the powers of a superhero
Supernaturally we rock the mic but wit' a natural
flow
If you didn't know before, you know now - We told
you so
Gorillaz rock your dome just like the one in
Tokyo

[2-D]
It's a hard dream to contemplate
I could fall into the abyss-ah
And I love this interlude
It's the reason to deliver
And they called onto me
Says they came to talk to me though
The more of us that lies,
I guess the kids don't live or die

[Si Phili]
'Cause we're makin' this music that's making you
lose it
so people don't abuse it and there ain't no way
for you to refuse it
Gorillaz be the army that's startin' this
pardy-ardy
Makin' more noise than carnivals mixed with the
Mardi-Gradi
We're comin' through your town with the sound
that's so profound
Gorillaz with the rappers that straight from the
underground
We're tearin' it down, makin' you feel this sort
of force
Knockin' you to your senses and knockin' you off
your course
'cause we're the source, got you feeling that's
so appealing
We got you jumpin' around and bouncin' off of the
ceiling
Makin' music ya feeling from Baltimore into
Bristol
I know you're hearin' me 'cause my voice is
clearer than crystal
The casual, supernatural flows I be exposin',
makin' sure that you're frozen and makin' sure
that I'm chosen
to rip a score, makin' you damage the dance floor
Gorillaz and Phi Life'll give you what you ask
for

[2-D]
It's a hard dream to contemplate
I could fall into the abyss-ah
And I love this interlude
It's the reason to deliver
And they called onto me
Says they came to talk to me though
The more of us that lies,
I guess the kids don't live or die
 

[Life
Si Phili]
Let Gorillaz be your guiding light and your
shining star,
whether you be home alone or drivin' in your car
Don't matter who ya are, whether you be near or
far,
you'll be feelin' entertained be our music
repertoire
See, our poems, they be flowin' like rivers and
resevoirs
'cause Gorllaz, we be out of this world like men
of Mars
We rap stars with supernatural spars
We leave your brains amazed with this super music
of ours
So put your hands up and stand up - It's time to
get down
'cause Gorillaz and Phi Life, we be breakin' you
'round
From the right to the left, from the skies to the
ground
We're coverin' all angles and you can't escape
the sound
On the track, it's laid back - We've come to
spray raps
Keep it chilled and relaxed but we still sound
phat
It's like that when we write raps
We're not from the Empire but we still Strike
Back!
