1. Rhymin’ and stealin’.
Because mutiny on the bounty's what we're all about, I'm gonna board your ship and turn it on out, no soft sucker with a parrot on his shoulder, 'cause I'm bad, gettin' bolder cold, getting colder. Terrorizing suckers on the seven seas and if you've got beef, you'll get capped in the knee, we got sixteen men on a dead man's chest and I shot those suckers and I'll shoot the rest. Most illingest b-boy, I got that feeling, ‘cause I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'.
Snatching gold chains, vicking pieces of eight, I got your money and your honey, and the fly name plate. We got wenches on the benches and bitties with titties, housing all girlies from city to city. One for all and all for one, taking out M.C.'s with a big shotgun, all for one and one for all, because the Beastie Boys have gone A.W.O.L.. Friggin' in the riggin' and cuttin' your throat, big biting suckers getting thrown in the moat, we got maidens and wenches, man they're on the ace, captain Bly is gonna die when we break his face. Most illingest b-boy, I got that feeling, ‘cause I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'.
Ali Baba and the forty thieves… torching and crakin' and rhymin' and stealin'. Robbin' and raping, busting two in the ceiling, I'm wheeling', I'm dealin', I'm drinking, not thinking, never cower, never shower and I'm always stinking. Yo ho ho and a pint of Brass monkey, and when my girlie shakes her hips, she sure gets funky, skirt chasing, free basing, killing every village, we drink and rob and rhyme and pillage. Most illingest b-boy, I got that feeling, ‘cause I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'.
I've been drinking my rum, a Def son of a gun, I fought the law and I cold won. Black beard's weak, Moby Dick's on the tick, 'cause I pull out my jammy and squeeze off six, my pistol is loaded, I shot Betty Crocker, Deliver Colonel Sanders down to Davey Jones' locker. Rhymin' and stealin' in a drunken state, and I'll be rockin' my rhymes all the way to Hell's gate. Most illingest b-boy, I got that feeling, ‘cause I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'…
2. The new style.
And on the cool check in, center stage on the mic, and we're puttin' it on wax, it's the new style. Four and three and two and one, and when I'm on the mic, the suckers run, word, down with Adrock and Mike D. and you ain't, and I got more juice than Picasso got paint. Got rhymes that are rough and rhymes that are slick, I'm not surprised you're on my dick. B-E-A-S-T-I-E, what up Mike D. ah yeah, that's me. I got franks and pork and beans, always bust the new routines, I get it, I got it, I know it's good. The rhymes I write, you wish you would. I'm never in training, my voice is not straining, people always biting and I'm sick of complaining, so I went into the locker room during classes, bust into your locker and I smashed your glasses. You're from Secausus, I'm from Manhattan. You're jealous of me because your girlfriend is cattin', there it is, kick it.
Father to many, married to none, and in case you're unaware I carry a gun. Stepped into the party, the place was over packed, saw the kid that dissed my homey and shot him in the back. I had to get a beeper 'cause my phone is tapped, you better keep your mouth shut 'cause I'm fully strapped, I got money in the bank, I can still get high, that's why your girlfriend thinks that I'm so fly. I've got money and juice, twin sisters in my bed, their father had envy so I shot him in the head. If I played guitar I'd be Jimmy Page, the girlie's I like are underage. Girls with boyfriends are the kind I like, I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike. Your father he's jealous 'cause I'm making that green, I've got the girlie's numbers from the places I been, kick it.
You wanna know why, because I'm October 31st, that is my date of birth, I got to the party and I did the Smurf. Taxing all females from coast to coast and when I get my fill I'm chilly most. We rag, tag girlies back at the hotel, and then we all switch places when I ring the bell. I chill at White Castle 'cause it's the best but I'm fly at Fat Burger when I way out west, K-I-N-G-A-D whammy, all the fly ladies are on my jammy. Went to the prom, wore the fly blue rental, got six girlies in my Lincoln Continental. Met this girl at the party and she started to flirt, I told her some rhymes and she pulled up her skirt. Spent some bank, I got a high powered jumbo, rolled up a wooly and I watched Colombo. Let me clear my throat, kick it over here baby pop, and let all the fly skimmies, feel the beat drop.
Coolin' on the corner on a hot summer day, just me, my posse and M.C.A., a lot of beer, a lot of girls, and a lot of cursing, twenty two automatic on my person. Got my hand in my pocket and my finger's on the trigger, my posse's gettin' big and my posse's gettin' bigger. Some voices got treble, some voices got bass, we got the kind of voices that are in your face. Like the bun to the burger, like the burger to the bun, like the cherry to the apple, to the peach to the plum. I'm the king of the Ave and I'm the king of the block, I'm M.C.A. and I'm the King Adrock. I'm Mike D., I got all the fly juice, on the checkin' at the party on the forty deuce, walking down the block with the fresh fly threads, Beastie Boys fly the biggest heads.
3. She’s crafty.
Well this girl came up to me, she says she's new in town but the crew been said they seen her around. I thought they were right but I didn't wanna know, the girlie was def and she wanted to go. I think her name is Lucy but they all call Loose, I think I thought I seen her on eighth and forty-deuce, the next think she said, "My place or yours? Let's kick some bass behind closed doors". We got into the cab, the cab driver said he recognized my girlie from the back of her head, he said a little something about tip to base, so I made him stop the cab to get out of the place. I shouldn't have looked back man I'll always regret it, something's going on and I'll probably never get it, she was crying like a baby, stupid dumb, it's just too bad that girl's a bum. She's crafty, she's gets around, she's crafty, she's always down, she's crafty, she's got a gripe, she's crafty, and she's just my type, she's crafty.
I spent my last dollar to buy a Sabrett, when I seen this girl I could never forget. Now I like nothing better than a pretty girl smile, and I haven't seen a smile that pretty in a while. The girl came up to me she said she loved the show, asked her to come home and she couldn't say, "No!", we got the crib, there's Adam and D., we didn't say a word, they just stared at me. I said, "I don't know her just met her tonight." and Adrock started hiding everything in sight, D. pulled me over said, "Hid your gold, the girl is crafty like ice is cold!". The girl is crafty, she knows all the moves, I started playing records, she knew all the grooves, he thought she was a thief, and D. was right, but I just figured she'd spend the night. When I woke up late in the afternoon she had taken all the things from inside his room, I found myself sleeping in the middle of the floor, she had taken the bed and the chest of drawers. The mirror, the TV, the guitar cord, my remote control and my old skateboard, she robbed us blind, she took all we owned and the boys blamed me for bringing her home.
She's crafty, she's gets around, she's crafty, she's always down, she's crafty, she's got a gripe, she's crafty, and she's just my type, she's crafty. She's crafty, she's gets around, she's crafty, she's always down, she's crafty, she's got a gripe, she's crafty, and she's just my type, she's crafty. She's crafty, she's gets around, she's crafty, she's always down, she's crafty, she's got a gripe, she's crafty, and she's just my type, she's crafty.
4. Posse in effect.
Yes, yes, y'all, you don't stop, you keep it on and shockin' the place. Well I'm M.C.A., I got nothing to prove, pay attention, my intention is to bust a move, I drink quarts and cans and bottles and sixes, between the turntables keep the vodka and the mixes. I'm Mike D., I got the deuces wild, a list of girlies numbers that I've dialed, I do the Smurf, the Popeye, and the Jerry Lewis, I like Bullwinkle but I don't like Moose.
I'm schoolin' in the boys' room, coolin' by the locker, all the girls in class know that I'm the cool rocker, punk in the hall, man I should of oughtta hit him, had the fresh rhymes and the kid cold bite 'em. Smokin' in the boys room is what I do best, while you were at a party, your girlfriend fessed, I keep a pistol in my pocket so you better be cautious, fly around the world, but it makes me nauseous.
Mike D.'s day off everyday of the week, I got to the party, and I did the freak, I got a girl in the Castle and one in the pagoda, you know I got rhymes like Abe Vigoda. I'm a Def Manhattan killer, a rhyme driller, a mike in my hand and a mouth full of Miller, I got a hat not a visor, I drink Budweiser, the turntables, up on the drum riser. The needle's in the groove and the vinyl's on the platter, I know that I'm fly man there's no need to flatter, I travel around the globe, it's keeping girlies dizzy, my name's Mike D., now watch me get busy y'all.
You're a fake wearin' sucker whose gold got rusted, cheaper than a hot do with no mustard, you tried to steal my fresh and you got cold busted, because your crew's all soft and I'm disgusted, I'm from downtown the city of Manhattan, I got a lotta girlies and not one's cattin', my posse's in effect and we're doin' the do, and we got more rhymes than your damn crew, caught you poppin' that weak and you must of been dusted, stuck you head in the toilet and stone cold flushed it, word.
5. Slow ride.
They got a committee to get me off the block, 'cause I say my rhymes loud and I say 'em nonstop, because being bad news is what we're all about, we went to White Castle and we got thrown out. I got my boy Mike D., I got the King Adrock I got the jammy with the ammo inside my sock, I shot homeboy but the bullet was a dud, so I reached in the Miller cooler, grabbed a cool Bud.
Slow riding, gun hidin' on the go, I'm fly like an eagle and I drink Old Crow, I'm the king of the classroom, coolin' in the back, my teacher had beef so I gave her a smack. She chased me out of class, she was strapped with a ruler, went to the bathroom, rolled myself a wooler, with bottle in hand at the microphone stand, a yo homeboy, what you drinkin' man.
I got money, I got juice, I got to the party and I got loose. I got rhythm, I got rhymes, I got the girlies with the Def behinds. I got ill, I got busted, I got dust and I got dusted. I got gold, I got funky, I got the new dance, they call the Brass monkey.
Because I'm hard hittin', always biten, cool as hell, I got trees on my mirror so my car won't smell. Sittin' around the house, gettin' high and watchin' tube, eating Colonel's chicken, drinkin' Heineken brew. I'm a gangster, I'm a prankster, I'm the king of the Ave, I'm hated, confrontated for the juice that I have. All the fly ladies are making a fuss, but I can't pay attention, 'cause I'm on that dust.
6. Girls.
Girls, all I really want is girls, and in the morning it's girls, cause in the evening it's girls. I like the way that they walk, and it's chill to hear them talk, and I can always make them smile, from White Castle to the Nile.
Back in the day, there was this girl around the way, she liked by home, piece M.C.A., he said he would not give her play, I asked him, "Please?", he said, "You may", her pants were tight and that's ok, if she would dance, I would D.J., we took a walk down to the bay.
I hope she'll say, "Hey me and you should hit the hay!", I asked her out, she said, "No way!", so I broke North with no delay, I heard she moved real far away, that was two years ago this May, I seen her just the other day. Jockin' Mike D. to my dismay.
Girls, to do the dishes, girls, to clean up my room, girls, to do the laundry, girls, and in the bathroom. Girls, that's all I really want is girls, two at a time, I want girls, with new wave hairdos, I want girls, I ought to whip out my girls, girls, girls, girls, girls.
7. Fight for your right (to party).
You wake up late for school, man you don't wanna go. You ask you mom, "Please?", but she still says, "No!". You missed two classes, and no homework, but your teacher preaches class like you're some kind of jerk. You gotta fight for your right to party.
You pop caught you smoking, and he said, "No way!". That hypocrite, smokes two packs a day. Man, living at home is such a drag, now your mom threw away your best porno mag. You gotta fight for your right to party. You gotta fight for your right to party.
Don't step out of this house if that's the clothes you're gonna wear, I'll kick you out of my home if you don't cut that hair, your mom busted in and said, "What's that noise?", aw, mom you're just jealous, it's the Beastie Boys. You gotta fight for your right to party. You gotta fight for your right to party…
8. No sleep till Brooklyn.
No sleep 'til Brooklyn. Foot on the pedal, never ever false metal, engine running hotter than a boiling kettle, my job's ain't a job, it's a damn good time, city to city, I'm running my rhymes. On location, touring around the nation, Beastie Boys always on vacation, itchy trigger finger but a stable turntable, I do what I do best because I'm illing and able. Ain't no faking, your money I'm taking, going coast to coast, watching all the girlies shaking, while you're at the job working nine to five, the Beastie Boys at the Garden, cold kickin' it live.
No sleep 'til, another place, another train, another bottle in the brain, another girl, another fight, another drive all night. Our manager's crazy, he always smokes dust, he's got his own room at the back of the bus. Tour around the world, you rock around the clock, plane to hotel, girls on the jock. We're thrashing hotels like it's going out of style, getting paid along the way cause it's worth your while. Four on the floor, Adrock's out the door, M.C.A.'s in the back because he's skeezin' with a whore. We got a safe in the trunk with money in a stack, with dice in the front and Brooklyn's in the back. No sleep 'til Brooklyn, no sleep 'til Brooklyn.
Ain't seen the light since we started this band, M.C.A., get on the mic my man. Born and bred Brooklyn, U.S.A., they all me Adam Yauch, but I'm M.C.A., like a lemon to a lime, a lime to a lemon, I sip the def ale with all the fly women, got limos, arena, TV shows, autograph pictures and classy hos. Step off homes, get out of my way, taxing little girlies form here to L.A., waking up but I get to sleep, cause I'll be rocking this party eight days a week. No sleep 'til Brooklyn, no sleep 'til Brooklyn…
9. Paul Revere.
Now here's a little story, I've got to tell, about three bad brothers, you know so well, it started way back in history, with Adrock, M.C.A., and me, Mike D.. Been had a little horsy named Paul Revere, just me and my horsy and a quart of beer, riding across the land, kicking up sand, sheriff's posse on my tail cause I'm in demand. One lonely Beastie I be, all by myself, without nobody, the sun is beating down on my baseball hat, the air is gettin' hot, the beer is getting flat. Lookin' for a girl, I ran into a guy, his name is M.C.A., I said, "Howdy", he said, "Hi".
He told a little story, that sounded well rehearsed, four days on the run and that he's dying of thirst, the brew was in my hand, and he was on my tip, his voice was hoarse, his throat was dry, he asked me for a sip. He said, "Can I get some?", I said, "You can't get none!", had a chance to run, he pulled out his shotgun, he was quick on the draw, I thought I'd be dead, he put the gun to my head and this is what he said. "Now my name is M.C.A., I've got a license to kill, I think you know what time it is, it's time to get ill, now what do we have here, an outlaw and his beer, I run this land, you understand, I make myself clear." We stepped into the wind, he had a gun, I had a grin, you think this story's over but it's ready to begin.
Now I got the gun, you got the brew, you got two choices of what you can do, it's not a tough decision as you can see, I can blow you away or you can ride with me". I said, I'll ride with you if you can get me to the border, the sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter, I did it like this, I did it like that, I did it with a whiffleball bat. So I'm on the run, the cop's got my gun, and right about now, it's time to have some fun, the King Adrock, that is my name, and I know the fly spot where they got the champagne.
We rode for six hours the we hit the spot, the beat was a bumping and the girlies was hot, this dude was staring like he knows who we are, we took the empty spot next to him at the bar. M.C.A. said, "Yo, you know this kid?", I said, "I didn't.", but I know he did. The kid said, "Get ready cause this ain't funny, my name's Mike D. and I'm about to get money". Pulled out the jammy, aimed it at the sky, he yelled, "Stick 'em up!", and let two fly. Hands went up and people hit the floor, he wasted two kids that ran for the door, "I'm Mike D. and I get respect, your cash and your jewelry is what I expect".
M.C.A. was with it and he's my ace, so I grabbed the piano player and I punched him in the face. The piano player's out, the music stopped, his boy had beef, and he got dropped. Mike D. grabbed the money, M.C.A. snatched the gold, I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold.
10. Hold it now, hit it.
Now I chill real ill when I start to chill, when I fill my pockets with a knot of dollar bills. Sipping pints of ale out the window sill, when I get my fill I'm chilly chill, now I just got home because I'm out on bail, what's the time?, it's time to buy ale, Peter eater, parking meter all of the time. If I run out of ale, it's Thunderbird wine, Miller drinking, chicken eating, dress so fly. I got friends in high places that are keeping me high, dow with Mike D. and it ain't no hassle, got the ladies of the eighties from here to White Castle. Hold it now, hit it.
M.C. Adam Yauch in the place to be, and all the girls are on me cause I'm down with Mike D. I'm down with Mike D. and it ain't no baloney, for real, not phony, "O.E." and Rice-a-Roni. I come out at night 'cause I sleep all day, and I'm the King Adrock and he's M.C.A. Well I'm cruising, I'm bruising, I'm never ever losing, I'm in my car, I'm going far and dust is what I'm using. Around the way is where I'm from, and I'm from Manhattan and I'm not a bum, because you're pud-slapping, ball-flapping, got that juice, my name's Mike D. and I can do that Jerry Lewis, Hold it now, hit it.
Hip-hop, body rockin', doing the do, beer drinking, breath stinking, sniffing glue, belly flipping, always illing, busting caps, my name's Mike D. and I write my own snaps. I'm a peep-show seeking on the forty-deuce, I'm a killer at large and I'm on the loose, pistol packing, monkey drinking, no money bum, I come from Brooklyn 'cause that's where I'm from. Cheap-skate, perpetrating, money hungry jerk , everyday I drink a "O.E." and I don't go to work, you drippy nose knuckle-head, you're we behind the ears, you like men, and we like beer. Hold it now, hit it.

Pump it up homeboy, just don't stop, chef Boy-ar-dee cooling on the pot, I take no slack cause I got the knack, and I'm never dusting out cause I torch that crack. The King Adrock, that is my name, and you're drinking Moet, we got the champagne, a quarter dropping, going shopping buying wigs, surgeon general cut professor, D.J. Thigs. Hold it now, hit it.
11. Brass monkey.
Brass monkey, that funky monkey, brass monkey, junkie, that funky monkey. Got this dance that's more than real, drink brass monkey, here's how you feel, put your left leg down, your right leg up, tilt your head back, let's finish the cup. M.C.A. with the bottle, D. rocks the can, Adrock gets nice with Charlie Chan, we're offered Moet, we don't mind Chivas, wherever we go with bring the monkey with us. Adrock drinks three, Mike D. is D., double R. foots the bill most definitely. I drink Brass monkey and I rock well, I got a castle in Brooklyn, that's where I dwell.

Cause I drink it anytime, and anyplace, when it's time to get ill, I pour it on my face, monkey tastes Def when you pour it on ice, come on y'all it's time to get nice. Coolin' by the lockers getting kind of funky, me and the crew, we're drinking Brass monkey, this girl walked by, she gave me the eye, I reached in the locker, grabbed the Spanish Fly. I put it with the monkey, mixed it in the cup, went over to the girl, "Yo baby, what's up?". I offered her a sip, the girl she gave me lip, it did begin the stuff wore in and now she's on my tip.

12. Slow and low.
Let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo, let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo. It's never old school, all brand new, so everybody catch, the bugaloo flu. Not like a fever, not like a cold, the beats are clear, the rhymes are bold. So don't see a doctor or see a nurse, just listen to the music, first things first, first of all, get off the wall, it's time to party so have a ball. Because we slowed it on down, so get the hell up, like a volcano I'll erupt, we got determination, bass and highs, White Castle fries only come in one size. What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
Let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo, let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo. I do not sing but I make a Def song, you could live your whole life, and I hope you live long. On the Gong Show we won't get gonged, we're the Beastie Boys, not Cheech and Chong. Strong as an ox, fresh out the box, the crowd is so live, they're coming in flocks, and when we go on, the crowd goes off, it's all hard rock, there's nothing soft. Let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo, let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo.
Let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo, let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo. We don't only rock the house but we'll house we rock, we don't stroll but we roll straight to the top, M.C.A., Adrock, Mike D. makes three, and we can do it like this in the place to be. When I'm recorded, you'll be rewarded, I know my song is def 'cause you all applauded. Not P.C.P. or L.S.D., just me Mike D. in the place to be, this is not free, you must pay a fee, cash on delivery like a C.O.D.
Let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo, let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo. The beat is slow in order to dance, I wanna hear I dos and no I can't, first you move your legs, and then your arms, it's not fast and nervous, this dance is calm. It's truly stable and you ought to be able, to dance to the record when it's on the turntable. Let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo, let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo.
13. Time to get ill.
What's the time? It's time to get ill, what's the time? It's time to get ill, what's the time? It's time to get ill, what's the time? It's time to get ill.
I'm not the type of person who likes to waste my time, and when I'm on the mic, I just say my rhymes. Because I'm out on bail, the check is in the mail, they can sentence me to life, but I won't go to jail. I'm cool calm collected, from class I was ejected, just me, Mike D., and M.C.A., we're rarely disrespected. I got all the time that I need to kill, what's the time? It's time to get ill.
You been fully captivated by that funky ass bass, your girlfriend screams when M.C.A.'s in the place, he stumbles in the room with the Chivas in his hand, cold chillin' on the spot at the microphone stand. I'd have the pedal to the metal if I had a car, but I'm chiller with the Miller, cold coolin' at the bar. I can drink a quart of monkey and still stand still, what's the time? It's time to get ill.
Went outside my house, I went down to the deli, I spent my last dime to refill my fat belly, I got rhymes galime, I got rhymes galilla, and I got more rhymes than Phillis Diller. M.C.A. takes a stand, man you're in command, homeboy, turn it out and don't give a damn, my name is M.C.A., I've got a license to kill, what's the time? It's time to get ill.
Riding down the block with my box in my hand, today I feel like chillin' just as chill as I can, coolin' on the corner with a forty of O.E., 'cause me and M.C.A. we're down with Mike D.. When I run a jam, I don't give a damn, when I'm throwing bass, I say, "Thank you ma'am.", fuel injected, rhyme connected, running things, I'm the King Adrock and I'm the king of all kings. I'm looking for a spot, things are gettin' hot, I'm M.C.A., I'm here to stay, and you sir, are not, oh no, it could not be, it's such a sight to see, it's such a trip, you're on my tip so listen to Mike D.. My work is my play, cause I'm playing when I work, my name's Mike D., as you can see and I can dot the jerk, M.C.A., Adrock, Mike D., it's chill, what's the time? It's time to get ill.
What's the time? It's time to get ill, what's the time? It's time to get ill, what's the time? It's time to get ill, what's the time? It's time to get ill.
Because mutiny on the bounty's what we're all about, I'm gonna board your ship and turn it on out, no soft sucker with a parrot on his shoulder, 'cause I'm bad, gettin' bolder cold, getting colder. Terrorizing suckers on the seven seas and if you've got beef, you'll get capped in the knee, we got sixteen men on a dead man's chest and I shot those suckers and I'll shoot the rest. Most illingest b-boy, I got that feeling, ‘cause I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'.
Snatching gold chains, vicking pieces of eight, I got your money and your honey, and the fly name plate. We got wenches on the benches and bitties with titties, housing all girlies from city to city. One for all and all for one, taking out M.C.'s with a big shotgun, all for one and one for all, because the Beastie Boys have gone A.W.O.L.. Friggin' in the riggin' and cuttin' your throat, big biting suckers getting thrown in the moat, we got maidens and wenches, man they're on the ace, captain Bly is gonna die when we break his face. Most illingest b-boy, I got that feeling, ‘cause I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'.
Ali Baba and the forty thieves… torching and crakin' and rhymin' and stealin'. Robbin' and raping, busting two in the ceiling, I'm wheeling', I'm dealin', I'm drinking, not thinking, never cower, never shower and I'm always stinking. Yo ho ho and a pint of Brass monkey, and when my girlie shakes her hips, she sure gets funky, skirt chasing, free basing, killing every village, we drink and rob and rhyme and pillage. Most illingest b-boy, I got that feeling, ‘cause I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'.
I've been drinking my rum, a Def son of a gun, I fought the law and I cold won. Black beard's weak, Moby Dick's on the tick, 'cause I pull out my jammy and squeeze off six, my pistol is loaded, I shot Betty Crocker, Deliver Colonel Sanders down to Davey Jones' locker. Rhymin' and stealin' in a drunken state, and I'll be rockin' my rhymes all the way to Hell's gate. Most illingest b-boy, I got that feeling, ‘cause I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'…
2. The new style.
And on the cool check in, center stage on the mic, and we're puttin' it on wax, it's the new style. Four and three and two and one, and when I'm on the mic, the suckers run, word, down with Adrock and Mike D. and you ain't, and I got more juice than Picasso got paint. Got rhymes that are rough and rhymes that are slick, I'm not surprised you're on my dick. B-E-A-S-T-I-E, what up Mike D. ah yeah, that's me. I got franks and pork and beans, always bust the new routines, I get it, I got it, I know it's good. The rhymes I write, you wish you would. I'm never in training, my voice is not straining, people always biting and I'm sick of complaining, so I went into the locker room during classes, bust into your locker and I smashed your glasses. You're from Secausus, I'm from Manhattan. You're jealous of me because your girlfriend is cattin', there it is, kick it.
Father to many, married to none, and in case you're unaware I carry a gun. Stepped into the party, the place was over packed, saw the kid that dissed my homey and shot him in the back. I had to get a beeper 'cause my phone is tapped, you better keep your mouth shut 'cause I'm fully strapped, I got money in the bank, I can still get high, that's why your girlfriend thinks that I'm so fly. I've got money and juice, twin sisters in my bed, their father had envy so I shot him in the head. If I played guitar I'd be Jimmy Page, the girlie's I like are underage. Girls with boyfriends are the kind I like, I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike. Your father he's jealous 'cause I'm making that green, I've got the girlie's numbers from the places I been, kick it.
You wanna know why, because I'm October 31st, that is my date of birth, I got to the party and I did the Smurf. Taxing all females from coast to coast and when I get my fill I'm chilly most. We rag, tag girlies back at the hotel, and then we all switch places when I ring the bell. I chill at White Castle 'cause it's the best but I'm fly at Fat Burger when I way out west, K-I-N-G-A-D whammy, all the fly ladies are on my jammy. Went to the prom, wore the fly blue rental, got six girlies in my Lincoln Continental. Met this girl at the party and she started to flirt, I told her some rhymes and she pulled up her skirt. Spent some bank, I got a high powered jumbo, rolled up a wooly and I watched Colombo. Let me clear my throat, kick it over here baby pop, and let all the fly skimmies, feel the beat drop.
Coolin' on the corner on a hot summer day, just me, my posse and M.C.A., a lot of beer, a lot of girls, and a lot of cursing, twenty two automatic on my person. Got my hand in my pocket and my finger's on the trigger, my posse's gettin' big and my posse's gettin' bigger. Some voices got treble, some voices got bass, we got the kind of voices that are in your face. Like the bun to the burger, like the burger to the bun, like the cherry to the apple, to the peach to the plum. I'm the king of the Ave and I'm the king of the block, I'm M.C.A. and I'm the King Adrock. I'm Mike D., I got all the fly juice, on the checkin' at the party on the forty deuce, walking down the block with the fresh fly threads, Beastie Boys fly the biggest heads.
3. She’s crafty.
Well this girl came up to me, she says she's new in town but the crew been said they seen her around. I thought they were right but I didn't wanna know, the girlie was def and she wanted to go. I think her name is Lucy but they all call Loose, I think I thought I seen her on eighth and forty-deuce, the next think she said, "My place or yours? Let's kick some bass behind closed doors". We got into the cab, the cab driver said he recognized my girlie from the back of her head, he said a little something about tip to base, so I made him stop the cab to get out of the place. I shouldn't have looked back man I'll always regret it, something's going on and I'll probably never get it, she was crying like a baby, stupid dumb, it's just too bad that girl's a bum. She's crafty, she's gets around, she's crafty, she's always down, she's crafty, she's got a gripe, she's crafty, and she's just my type, she's crafty.
I spent my last dollar to buy a Sabrett, when I seen this girl I could never forget. Now I like nothing better than a pretty girl smile, and I haven't seen a smile that pretty in a while. The girl came up to me she said she loved the show, asked her to come home and she couldn't say, "No!", we got the crib, there's Adam and D., we didn't say a word, they just stared at me. I said, "I don't know her just met her tonight." and Adrock started hiding everything in sight, D. pulled me over said, "Hid your gold, the girl is crafty like ice is cold!". The girl is crafty, she knows all the moves, I started playing records, she knew all the grooves, he thought she was a thief, and D. was right, but I just figured she'd spend the night. When I woke up late in the afternoon she had taken all the things from inside his room, I found myself sleeping in the middle of the floor, she had taken the bed and the chest of drawers. The mirror, the TV, the guitar cord, my remote control and my old skateboard, she robbed us blind, she took all we owned and the boys blamed me for bringing her home.
She's crafty, she's gets around, she's crafty, she's always down, she's crafty, she's got a gripe, she's crafty, and she's just my type, she's crafty. She's crafty, she's gets around, she's crafty, she's always down, she's crafty, she's got a gripe, she's crafty, and she's just my type, she's crafty. She's crafty, she's gets around, she's crafty, she's always down, she's crafty, she's got a gripe, she's crafty, and she's just my type, she's crafty.
4. Posse in effect.
Yes, yes, y'all, you don't stop, you keep it on and shockin' the place. Well I'm M.C.A., I got nothing to prove, pay attention, my intention is to bust a move, I drink quarts and cans and bottles and sixes, between the turntables keep the vodka and the mixes. I'm Mike D., I got the deuces wild, a list of girlies numbers that I've dialed, I do the Smurf, the Popeye, and the Jerry Lewis, I like Bullwinkle but I don't like Moose.
I'm schoolin' in the boys' room, coolin' by the locker, all the girls in class know that I'm the cool rocker, punk in the hall, man I should of oughtta hit him, had the fresh rhymes and the kid cold bite 'em. Smokin' in the boys room is what I do best, while you were at a party, your girlfriend fessed, I keep a pistol in my pocket so you better be cautious, fly around the world, but it makes me nauseous.
Mike D.'s day off everyday of the week, I got to the party, and I did the freak, I got a girl in the Castle and one in the pagoda, you know I got rhymes like Abe Vigoda. I'm a Def Manhattan killer, a rhyme driller, a mike in my hand and a mouth full of Miller, I got a hat not a visor, I drink Budweiser, the turntables, up on the drum riser. The needle's in the groove and the vinyl's on the platter, I know that I'm fly man there's no need to flatter, I travel around the globe, it's keeping girlies dizzy, my name's Mike D., now watch me get busy y'all.
You're a fake wearin' sucker whose gold got rusted, cheaper than a hot do with no mustard, you tried to steal my fresh and you got cold busted, because your crew's all soft and I'm disgusted, I'm from downtown the city of Manhattan, I got a lotta girlies and not one's cattin', my posse's in effect and we're doin' the do, and we got more rhymes than your damn crew, caught you poppin' that weak and you must of been dusted, stuck you head in the toilet and stone cold flushed it, word.
5. Slow ride.
They got a committee to get me off the block, 'cause I say my rhymes loud and I say 'em nonstop, because being bad news is what we're all about, we went to White Castle and we got thrown out. I got my boy Mike D., I got the King Adrock I got the jammy with the ammo inside my sock, I shot homeboy but the bullet was a dud, so I reached in the Miller cooler, grabbed a cool Bud.
Slow riding, gun hidin' on the go, I'm fly like an eagle and I drink Old Crow, I'm the king of the classroom, coolin' in the back, my teacher had beef so I gave her a smack. She chased me out of class, she was strapped with a ruler, went to the bathroom, rolled myself a wooler, with bottle in hand at the microphone stand, a yo homeboy, what you drinkin' man.
I got money, I got juice, I got to the party and I got loose. I got rhythm, I got rhymes, I got the girlies with the Def behinds. I got ill, I got busted, I got dust and I got dusted. I got gold, I got funky, I got the new dance, they call the Brass monkey.
Because I'm hard hittin', always biten, cool as hell, I got trees on my mirror so my car won't smell. Sittin' around the house, gettin' high and watchin' tube, eating Colonel's chicken, drinkin' Heineken brew. I'm a gangster, I'm a prankster, I'm the king of the Ave, I'm hated, confrontated for the juice that I have. All the fly ladies are making a fuss, but I can't pay attention, 'cause I'm on that dust.
6. Girls.
Girls, all I really want is girls, and in the morning it's girls, cause in the evening it's girls. I like the way that they walk, and it's chill to hear them talk, and I can always make them smile, from White Castle to the Nile.
Back in the day, there was this girl around the way, she liked by home, piece M.C.A., he said he would not give her play, I asked him, "Please?", he said, "You may", her pants were tight and that's ok, if she would dance, I would D.J., we took a walk down to the bay.
I hope she'll say, "Hey me and you should hit the hay!", I asked her out, she said, "No way!", so I broke North with no delay, I heard she moved real far away, that was two years ago this May, I seen her just the other day. Jockin' Mike D. to my dismay.
Girls, to do the dishes, girls, to clean up my room, girls, to do the laundry, girls, and in the bathroom. Girls, that's all I really want is girls, two at a time, I want girls, with new wave hairdos, I want girls, I ought to whip out my girls, girls, girls, girls, girls.
7. Fight for your right (to party).
You wake up late for school, man you don't wanna go. You ask you mom, "Please?", but she still says, "No!". You missed two classes, and no homework, but your teacher preaches class like you're some kind of jerk. You gotta fight for your right to party.
You pop caught you smoking, and he said, "No way!". That hypocrite, smokes two packs a day. Man, living at home is such a drag, now your mom threw away your best porno mag. You gotta fight for your right to party. You gotta fight for your right to party.
Don't step out of this house if that's the clothes you're gonna wear, I'll kick you out of my home if you don't cut that hair, your mom busted in and said, "What's that noise?", aw, mom you're just jealous, it's the Beastie Boys. You gotta fight for your right to party. You gotta fight for your right to party…
8. No sleep till Brooklyn.
No sleep 'til Brooklyn. Foot on the pedal, never ever false metal, engine running hotter than a boiling kettle, my job's ain't a job, it's a damn good time, city to city, I'm running my rhymes. On location, touring around the nation, Beastie Boys always on vacation, itchy trigger finger but a stable turntable, I do what I do best because I'm illing and able. Ain't no faking, your money I'm taking, going coast to coast, watching all the girlies shaking, while you're at the job working nine to five, the Beastie Boys at the Garden, cold kickin' it live.
No sleep 'til, another place, another train, another bottle in the brain, another girl, another fight, another drive all night. Our manager's crazy, he always smokes dust, he's got his own room at the back of the bus. Tour around the world, you rock around the clock, plane to hotel, girls on the jock. We're thrashing hotels like it's going out of style, getting paid along the way cause it's worth your while. Four on the floor, Adrock's out the door, M.C.A.'s in the back because he's skeezin' with a whore. We got a safe in the trunk with money in a stack, with dice in the front and Brooklyn's in the back. No sleep 'til Brooklyn, no sleep 'til Brooklyn.
Ain't seen the light since we started this band, M.C.A., get on the mic my man. Born and bred Brooklyn, U.S.A., they all me Adam Yauch, but I'm M.C.A., like a lemon to a lime, a lime to a lemon, I sip the def ale with all the fly women, got limos, arena, TV shows, autograph pictures and classy hos. Step off homes, get out of my way, taxing little girlies form here to L.A., waking up but I get to sleep, cause I'll be rocking this party eight days a week. No sleep 'til Brooklyn, no sleep 'til Brooklyn…
9. Paul Revere.
Now here's a little story, I've got to tell, about three bad brothers, you know so well, it started way back in history, with Adrock, M.C.A., and me, Mike D.. Been had a little horsy named Paul Revere, just me and my horsy and a quart of beer, riding across the land, kicking up sand, sheriff's posse on my tail cause I'm in demand. One lonely Beastie I be, all by myself, without nobody, the sun is beating down on my baseball hat, the air is gettin' hot, the beer is getting flat. Lookin' for a girl, I ran into a guy, his name is M.C.A., I said, "Howdy", he said, "Hi".
He told a little story, that sounded well rehearsed, four days on the run and that he's dying of thirst, the brew was in my hand, and he was on my tip, his voice was hoarse, his throat was dry, he asked me for a sip. He said, "Can I get some?", I said, "You can't get none!", had a chance to run, he pulled out his shotgun, he was quick on the draw, I thought I'd be dead, he put the gun to my head and this is what he said. "Now my name is M.C.A., I've got a license to kill, I think you know what time it is, it's time to get ill, now what do we have here, an outlaw and his beer, I run this land, you understand, I make myself clear." We stepped into the wind, he had a gun, I had a grin, you think this story's over but it's ready to begin.
Now I got the gun, you got the brew, you got two choices of what you can do, it's not a tough decision as you can see, I can blow you away or you can ride with me". I said, I'll ride with you if you can get me to the border, the sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter, I did it like this, I did it like that, I did it with a whiffleball bat. So I'm on the run, the cop's got my gun, and right about now, it's time to have some fun, the King Adrock, that is my name, and I know the fly spot where they got the champagne.
We rode for six hours the we hit the spot, the beat was a bumping and the girlies was hot, this dude was staring like he knows who we are, we took the empty spot next to him at the bar. M.C.A. said, "Yo, you know this kid?", I said, "I didn't.", but I know he did. The kid said, "Get ready cause this ain't funny, my name's Mike D. and I'm about to get money". Pulled out the jammy, aimed it at the sky, he yelled, "Stick 'em up!", and let two fly. Hands went up and people hit the floor, he wasted two kids that ran for the door, "I'm Mike D. and I get respect, your cash and your jewelry is what I expect".
M.C.A. was with it and he's my ace, so I grabbed the piano player and I punched him in the face. The piano player's out, the music stopped, his boy had beef, and he got dropped. Mike D. grabbed the money, M.C.A. snatched the gold, I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold.
10. Hold it now, hit it.
Now I chill real ill when I start to chill, when I fill my pockets with a knot of dollar bills. Sipping pints of ale out the window sill, when I get my fill I'm chilly chill, now I just got home because I'm out on bail, what's the time?, it's time to buy ale, Peter eater, parking meter all of the time. If I run out of ale, it's Thunderbird wine, Miller drinking, chicken eating, dress so fly. I got friends in high places that are keeping me high, dow with Mike D. and it ain't no hassle, got the ladies of the eighties from here to White Castle. Hold it now, hit it.
M.C. Adam Yauch in the place to be, and all the girls are on me cause I'm down with Mike D. I'm down with Mike D. and it ain't no baloney, for real, not phony, "O.E." and Rice-a-Roni. I come out at night 'cause I sleep all day, and I'm the King Adrock and he's M.C.A. Well I'm cruising, I'm bruising, I'm never ever losing, I'm in my car, I'm going far and dust is what I'm using. Around the way is where I'm from, and I'm from Manhattan and I'm not a bum, because you're pud-slapping, ball-flapping, got that juice, my name's Mike D. and I can do that Jerry Lewis, Hold it now, hit it.
Hip-hop, body rockin', doing the do, beer drinking, breath stinking, sniffing glue, belly flipping, always illing, busting caps, my name's Mike D. and I write my own snaps. I'm a peep-show seeking on the forty-deuce, I'm a killer at large and I'm on the loose, pistol packing, monkey drinking, no money bum, I come from Brooklyn 'cause that's where I'm from. Cheap-skate, perpetrating, money hungry jerk , everyday I drink a "O.E." and I don't go to work, you drippy nose knuckle-head, you're we behind the ears, you like men, and we like beer. Hold it now, hit it.
King of the Ave. with the Def female, you're rhyming and stealin' with the freshest ale, cooling at the crib watching my TV, Ed Norton, Ted Knight, and Mr. Ed. Pump it up homeboy, just don't stop, chef Boy-ar-dee cooling on the pot, I take no slack cause I got the knack, and I'm never dusting out cause I torch that crack. The King Adrock, that is my name, and you're drinking Moet, we got the champagne, a quarter dropping, going shopping buying wigs, surgeon general cut professor, D.J. Thigs. Hold it now, hit it.
11. Brass monkey.
Brass monkey, that funky monkey, brass monkey, junkie, that funky monkey. Got this dance that's more than real, drink brass monkey, here's how you feel, put your left leg down, your right leg up, tilt your head back, let's finish the cup. M.C.A. with the bottle, D. rocks the can, Adrock gets nice with Charlie Chan, we're offered Moet, we don't mind Chivas, wherever we go with bring the monkey with us. Adrock drinks three, Mike D. is D., double R. foots the bill most definitely. I drink Brass monkey and I rock well, I got a castle in Brooklyn, that's where I dwell.
Brass monkey, that funky monkey, brass monkey, junkie, that funky monkey. Cause I drink it anytime, and anyplace, when it's time to get ill, I pour it on my face, monkey tastes Def when you pour it on ice, come on y'all it's time to get nice. Coolin' by the lockers getting kind of funky, me and the crew, we're drinking Brass monkey, this girl walked by, she gave me the eye, I reached in the locker, grabbed the Spanish Fly. I put it with the monkey, mixed it in the cup, went over to the girl, "Yo baby, what's up?". I offered her a sip, the girl she gave me lip, it did begin the stuff wore in and now she's on my tip.
Brass monkey, that funky monkey, brass monkey, junkie, that funky monkey. Step up to the bar, put the girl down, she takes a big gulp and slaps it around, take a sip, you can do it, you get right to it, we had a case in the place and we went right through it. You got a dry Martini, thinking you're cool, I'll take your place at the bar, I smack you off your stool, I'll down a '40 dog" in a single gulp, and if you got beef you'll get beat to a pulp. Monkey and parties and reelin' and rockin', def, def, girls, girls, all y'all jockin', the song and dance keeping you in a trance, if you don't buy my record I got my advance.

Brass monkey, that funky monkey, brass monkey, junkie, that funky monkey. Brass monkey, that funky monkey, brass monkey, junkie, that funky monkey. Brass monkey.
12. Slow and low.
Let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo, let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo. It's never old school, all brand new, so everybody catch, the bugaloo flu. Not like a fever, not like a cold, the beats are clear, the rhymes are bold. So don't see a doctor or see a nurse, just listen to the music, first things first, first of all, get off the wall, it's time to party so have a ball. Because we slowed it on down, so get the hell up, like a volcano I'll erupt, we got determination, bass and highs, White Castle fries only come in one size. What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
Let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo, let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo. I do not sing but I make a Def song, you could live your whole life, and I hope you live long. On the Gong Show we won't get gonged, we're the Beastie Boys, not Cheech and Chong. Strong as an ox, fresh out the box, the crowd is so live, they're coming in flocks, and when we go on, the crowd goes off, it's all hard rock, there's nothing soft. Let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo, let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo.
Let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo, let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo. We don't only rock the house but we'll house we rock, we don't stroll but we roll straight to the top, M.C.A., Adrock, Mike D. makes three, and we can do it like this in the place to be. When I'm recorded, you'll be rewarded, I know my song is def 'cause you all applauded. Not P.C.P. or L.S.D., just me Mike D. in the place to be, this is not free, you must pay a fee, cash on delivery like a C.O.D.
Let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo, let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo. The beat is slow in order to dance, I wanna hear I dos and no I can't, first you move your legs, and then your arms, it's not fast and nervous, this dance is calm. It's truly stable and you ought to be able, to dance to the record when it's on the turntable. Let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo, let it flow, let yourself go, slow and low, that is the tempo.
13. Time to get ill.
What's the time? It's time to get ill, what's the time? It's time to get ill, what's the time? It's time to get ill, what's the time? It's time to get ill.
I'm not the type of person who likes to waste my time, and when I'm on the mic, I just say my rhymes. Because I'm out on bail, the check is in the mail, they can sentence me to life, but I won't go to jail. I'm cool calm collected, from class I was ejected, just me, Mike D., and M.C.A., we're rarely disrespected. I got all the time that I need to kill, what's the time? It's time to get ill.
You been fully captivated by that funky ass bass, your girlfriend screams when M.C.A.'s in the place, he stumbles in the room with the Chivas in his hand, cold chillin' on the spot at the microphone stand. I'd have the pedal to the metal if I had a car, but I'm chiller with the Miller, cold coolin' at the bar. I can drink a quart of monkey and still stand still, what's the time? It's time to get ill.
Went outside my house, I went down to the deli, I spent my last dime to refill my fat belly, I got rhymes galime, I got rhymes galilla, and I got more rhymes than Phillis Diller. M.C.A. takes a stand, man you're in command, homeboy, turn it out and don't give a damn, my name is M.C.A., I've got a license to kill, what's the time? It's time to get ill.
Riding down the block with my box in my hand, today I feel like chillin' just as chill as I can, coolin' on the corner with a forty of O.E., 'cause me and M.C.A. we're down with Mike D.. When I run a jam, I don't give a damn, when I'm throwing bass, I say, "Thank you ma'am.", fuel injected, rhyme connected, running things, I'm the King Adrock and I'm the king of all kings. I'm looking for a spot, things are gettin' hot, I'm M.C.A., I'm here to stay, and you sir, are not, oh no, it could not be, it's such a sight to see, it's such a trip, you're on my tip so listen to Mike D.. My work is my play, cause I'm playing when I work, my name's Mike D., as you can see and I can dot the jerk, M.C.A., Adrock, Mike D., it's chill, what's the time? It's time to get ill.
What's the time? It's time to get ill, what's the time? It's time to get ill, what's the time? It's time to get ill, what's the time? It's time to get ill.
