Long time did I run down like that
I would have three years ago-today but not now
It's not like that
It's all right to feel good
It's all for nothing to be wrong
The deepest dream that we have
Could be tomorrow's song
Long time did I run down like that
I would have three years ago-today but not now
It's not like that
It's all right to feel good
It's all for nothing to be wrong
The deepest dream that we have
Could be tomorrow's song
Just what did he say stop
1 and 2 and 3
Run up the hill do as you do
I'm going to chill you know you really
Ought to do the same
They wanna bug you
But I won't let them today
It's a sure shot to the bomb drop
Every single
You know you swing
it and you fling it
And you make some shit up but
It's just 123 oh
And you don't stop
What you need guaranteed
The deepest dream we have could be
I would have three years ago-today but not now
It's not like that
It's all right to feel good
It's all for nothing to be wrong
The deepest dream that we have
Could be tomorrow's song
Long time did I run down like that
I would have three years ago-today but not now
It's not like that
It's all right to feel good
It's all for nothing to be wrong
The deepest dream that we have
Could be tomorrow's song
Just what did he say stop
1 and 2 and 3
Run up the hill do as you do
I'm going to chill you know you really
Ought to do the same
They wanna bug you
But I won't let them today
It's a sure shot to the bomb drop

And you make some shit up but
It's just 123 oh
And you don't stop

The 1993 track '1, 2, 3' by 311 serves as a foundational song in the group's catalog, appearing on the debut album 'Grassroots.' As a staple of the gangsta rap genre, the song exemplifies the band's early fusion of aggressive lyricism with a gritty, street-level aesthetic. Featuring the signature vocal delivery of Remy Ma, the recording captures the raw energy and collaborative spirit that defined 311's initial rise to prominence. The composition reflects the era's emphasis on storytelling and social observation, establishing a sonic template that would influence subsequent works in the group's discography.
