lyrics

Chorus
It lives in you/ it lives in me/ everywhere we go/ you dont know The Lique?/ it lives in you/ it lives in me/ everybody feel it/ you don't know The Lique?

Verse 1
One vibe one rhythm one heartbeat unifying the minds/ wisdom and art meet at the intersection of innovation and discipline let it flow freely while generating the dividends its all about tone and feel/ play with emotion soundscapes shape your brain waves and mold them sould blends with the funk and jazz rockin hip hop is the modern blues/ at last the freestyle gospel locked you in the house don’t be trapped by the techno beat/ just break out check it/ it’s a jungle sometimes/ inside the disco hypnotic sonically/ poppin just like calypso doo woppin across the country/ a bossa nova dub steppin on dance floors the world over swing to the afro beat then ride a new wave electronic metal is punkin’ you with the drum and bass the new age classical and ambient our past is ragtime/ like reggae we be jammin’ with a psychedelic trance in the quiet storm drop beats like acid and blast the norms with a vibrant flow/ bounce spicier than zydeco alkaline rhythms combining with downtempo lines that pass standards/ there is no alternative musical fusion is the way that we prefer to live

Verse 2
The Lick is universal/ underground commercial avant garde/ Top of the Pops whether rehearsal or showtime don't need a reason or rhyme the sneakiest line we spot it at the drop of a dime no matter what the genre eventually pops up from the first time I heard it in my head it got stuck when it began? That's all apart of the mystique now here’s a little story of why we call it The Lique in 2014 on a trip to Switzerland the Butterscotch show was over so we trickled in a little jazz club checkin’ out the sound mellow vibe so the band started layin it down Now right when a solo really started to peak with an energy so intense nobody wanted to speak a 6 foot French lady gave a cackle and squeaked and when I asked her why she said, ͞You don’t know The Lique?!͟jazz snob 101/ a new lesson funny how my whole changed with one question demands your attention/ more than a suggestion shaped our sound, feel, mythos and progression there you have it/ kick the The Lick like a habit word to David Bowie/ can’t escape The Labyrinth it's hard to forget this bit of musical madness the vibration everybody feel across the atlas
