Hallucinatory

Volition
Dynamo of Volition, Jason Mraz “I’ve got the dynamo of volition, With po-pole position”
** Ludacris has a song with volition in the title, but not in the lyrics. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if that counts **
Also in song: abolitionist, proposition, compositions, procreation, statistics, hallucinatory - great words, if not unique.
