This song is pretty awesome. I find myself having it constantly on repeat. SA's raps are kinda cheesy, but it's to be expected. The instrumentals are so good. Haven't head banged to 311 for a while but that's all changed now. This might be my favorite on the album.

SA's raps are NEVER cheesy. It's never literal words taken for what they are as is.

Enjoy this beautiful lyrics video in UHD of Too Late, and try to Crack the Code of what ma homie is really say in.

Although I made most of the lyrics literal to what the words are, using video, I did that for a reason.
A large amount of 311 lyrics are meant to be taken however the individual wants it to be taken, which makes the lyrics touch a larger crowd's hearts.

Sure, a lot of 311 songs also have 1 specific meaning as well.

But...

"PEOPLEEE WANT TO BELIEVEEEE IN MYSTERYYYY"

To me personally and if I had to guess, the boys as well- SA's last verse is just an analogy.

"Only thing to stop us
or cutting us off of
a road I’ve been told
that ends in a drop off
The universe explodes
new galaxies pop up
new galaxies pop up"

Part I
"Only thing to stop us
or cutting us off of
a road I’ve been told
that ends in a drop off"

- The only thing that's stopping or cutting 311 off of continually making music and Rockin Live shows, is what everyone says- that bands never last THAT long and it's coming soon. Hence "a road I've been told that ends in a drop off"

Part II
It would have to take the UNIVERSE TO LITERALLY EXPLODE to stop 311.
HOWEVER!
EVEN IF the entire universe explodes...
Life is Continuous for eternity and new galaxies will start to form anyway, bringing 311 back together naturally.

So in conclusion, Martinez takes the most apocalyptic analogy possible to straight up say, 311 IS GOING FOREVER SON!
I DARE YOU to try to stop us, pinche bitch!
Know what though??
It's already Too Late kid!
We got support from people all around the PLANET.

Spoken.

No. Just because he has a different intended meaning than what's on the surface does not change how cheesy they are.

I'm not going to 311 for the best lyrics. If you can't see how cheesy 311 lyrics are, you're blind.

"You juice ya fuckin friends like dracula

Or this classic rarely played live tune, because of it's high grade lyrical quality from Martinez:
"I don’t dis people I dis ideas
And when I say dis I mean disagree"

In the name of the Father
The Son
And of the Holy Spirit.
Amen

Or the incredible literary usage of an oxymoron of this Hexum quote, from the song Grassroots:
"311 true to no tradition"

311 Day....
The cruise....

They are raising the bar for the English language.
