Lyrics

lay down the foundation, lay down the line
It’s another situation, don’t know wrong from right
I want to be all alone
Keeping you by my side
I want to be all alone
Keeping you satisfied
Why the frustration? Put it all aside
Fight the temptation, keep the right state of mind
Move forward always even when your feeling bad
And words don’t go away, they’re going right to your head
I want to be there but cannot be there today
I want to see you, but there ain’t no other way
I want to be all alone
Keeping you by my side
I want be all alone
keeping u satisfied
No, you are not alone
No, you are not alone
No, you are not alone
No, you are not alone
Feel the vibration, rise up it’s time
Another generation, keeping this vibe alive
Don’t let it fall apart
Don’t let it fall apart
“Give me the bass” (feat Willy Woodruff)
Everyone move everyone get down,
Keep the vibes alive
Believe in the sound,
Keepin’ the vibe alive
And I think and I think you know,
The vibe alive
I think, think you know
Every single day, in every single way
Everyone move everyone get down
Keepin’ the vibe alive
Words get tossed around
Keepin’ the vibe alive
and I think and I think you know
the vibes alive
