"Hippie & A Thug" is a new collaboration that we did with our good friend Nikka Bling.

You might recognize Nick as he has been a permanent fixture of the live Modern Science band for the last 6 months. Kane finally joined forces with Nick to write this song which was based off of an idea Nick had been kicking around for years. A fun party tune with a lot of creative twists.

Check out the video clip the guys filmed for it @ http://www.YouTube.com/ILOVEMODERNSCIENCE

Sometimes we feel like hippies. Sometimes we feel like thugs. This song is an ode to the balance of both.

lyrics

One side of my life is like this
Like to make peace enlighten my psyche
I see inside the right me
Where battles are won with words and not fighting
You know we wage war when we whip out our pens
We pick it up from the middle and we take it to the end
And we still roll em right like they did back then
We'll keep it hippie and thug till it comes to end coz

We got the funk and we got the soul
We got the rock and we got the roll
When we're on top we'll stop to say yo
To everyone we pass as we go

We got the hip and we got the hop
We got the hits that we bout to drop
When we're on top we'll stop and we'll smoke
With anyone that passes the dro

Like a hippie and a thug all rolled into one
Got a flower in my left hand, my right hand a gun
I do this all I do this for fun
Just like a hippie and a thug in one

Like a hippie and a thug all rolled into one
Got a flower in my left hand, my right hand a gun
I do this all I do this for fun
Just like a hippie and a thug all rolled into one

One side of my life is like this
Wanna spit shit inspired by violence
One tiny spark might just ignite this
Thug deep inside on some Jekyll & Hyde shit
On a dark street with the lights out
Might be the right me or the left out
But those of you who know me know what I'm about
Bling & Modern Science bout to knock your ass out
