What It Is Lyrics - Red Hot Chili Peppers

1 Give it up to this time full of strife

2 Get down, you might be fucking with the song of life

3 Extend your deeper senses, there will be no fight

4 At the never ending ocean of perfect insights

5 'Round your molecule beam with a halo of light

6 The animated aura will give delight

7 Soon, your every single worry will be out of sight

8 With the power of It, we are about to astound

9 All your preconceptions, they will come unbound

10 Listen very close, my inner voice expounds

11 We are the human race and we groove to the sound

12 Yes, we deliver the truth to our musical birth

13 A soul shocking sound with electrify the earth

14 People have to know that it's not about money

15 Cash is not the way to make your life sunny

16 There is no need if you got the soul seed

17 Love, life and peace, it can only begin

18 When you know in your heart that the change is within

19 Love all your brothers and love all your sisters

20 Love all the missus and love all the misses

21 And don't be shy when you're sharing your kisses

22 Greed, jealousy gets boos and hisses

23 What it is, what it is, so much to be found

24 What it is, what it is, groove down to the sounds

25 What it is, what it is, what it is in a song

26 What it is, what it is, you can do no wrong

27 Balance your life with the right kind of foods

28 To eat a sad cow is to eat another you

29 Well, that's an unfair rap, it's unforgivably rude

30 It'll put your karma in the worst of moods

31 Someone's drinking booze and taking too many ludes

32 'Cause when you cop, don't you cop an attitude

33 And that's an ugly thing, it's not the real you

34 So please y'all, take some sound advice

35 Be yourself, clear your mind, make a sacrifice

36 The always sober you is especially nice

37 Don't loot, don't shout, give comet the boot

38 I love it kickin' back and playin' my bamboo flute

39 Refuse to fight wars for political whores

40 Unsurpassed peace lines the salt water shores

41 It is my notion that the perfect peace potion

42 Can be found in the wake of the green sea ocean

43 The long rocky swells of the mighty blue ocean

44 Is the cradle of peace, it's the perfect peace potion

45 There you will find it, with sweet sea creatures

46 The smile of a dolphin is a built-in feature

47 We will learn much peace will the whale as your teacher

48 Good morning class, how very nice to meet you

49 What it is, what it is, so much to be found

50 What it is, what it is, groove down to the sounds

51 What it is, what it is, what it is in a song

52 What it is, what it is, you can do no wrong

53 Open up your hearts to the planets; to the stars

54 With your spirit take a trip from Venus to Mars

55 You know, Einstein did while Hitler hid

56 Now, Albert lives forever in every single kid

57 But, with Adolph Hitler, we are permanently rid

58 Picasso, Mister Dali and my man, Jimi Hendrix

59 These cool brothers make the world go 'round

60 Yeah, they do it with art, and Jimi did it with sound

61 But, by all these men, it was found

62 Each and every person can be just as renowned

63 Don't let the world's racist creeds give your pretty face a frown

64 Stand up for equal rights, I mean buckle down

65 Go spread the word from town to town

66 We are the human race and we groove to the sounds

67 Now that you've heard what it is in a song

68 From here on in, you can do no wrong
