But I find I'm not playing With a full deck I'm up to my neck Like Toulouse Lautrec All I wanna know is When is checkout time So I could be in heaven With the rhythm rock rhyme And when I'm with my man Shadi Rock, at the gates We'll be rockin' rhythms Over disco breaks #beastieboys #lyrics

Well everybody's rapping Like it's a commercial Actin' like life Is a big commercial So this is what I've got To say to you all Be true to yourself And you will never fall #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #MikeD (Mike said later that he messed up the rhyme...commercial instead of rehearsal) 🤣😎

Sound, sounds sweeter Through the echoplex It'll spin you around And throw you in a hex Until you feel no pain Inside your brain All your worries are soothed By the sound effects #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #music

Lots of love for the Beasties in these "perfect album of the 90's" posts but where is the respect for this one?

First of all Get off the wall It's time to party So have a ball 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 #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop

Try to keep clear Of that hate and spite So I keep my mind still Like the still of night Now who in the world Do you want to fight? It's against the system We should unite Homophobics Ain't alright If you learn to love Then you might love life #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #alive

Fuel injected rhyme connected Running things Well I'm the King Ad-Rock And I'm the king of all kings I'm looking for a spot Things are gettin' hot I'm MCA, I'm here to stay And you sir, you 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

Seeing others are As important as myself I strive for a happiness Of mental wealth With the interconnectedness That we share as one Every action that we take Affects everyone So in deciding for what A situation calls There is a path For the good for all #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #MCA

'Cause suckers like you Just make me strong You be poppin' that bullshit All day long I'm gonna bust my shoes I'm gonna bust my socks I'm gonna spread my word From standin' on this box This drive through world It just ain't right Gonna run to Joe & Tony's And get my hair cut nice Real nice, y'all

I got shark's teeth So I can bite your head I got tiger's claws That'll scratch you dead I got wings like a dragon When I'm flying above Shoot venom from my eyes When it's time to get rough #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #MCA

I keep my underwear up With a piece of elastic I use a bullshit mic That's made out of plastic To send my rhymes out To all the nations Like Ma Bell I got the ill communication #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #MCA

Well just plug me in Just like I was Eddie Harris You're eating crazy cheese Like you would think I'm from Paris You know I get fly You think I get high You know that I'm gone And I'm-a tell you all why #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop

Now I'm Ad Rock, and I shock And I tick, and I tock And I can't stop With the body rock See, I've got heart like John Starks Hitting mad sparks Pass me the mic And I'll be rockin' the whole park #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #AdRock

Free your mind It's time for good times And let yourself move It's a time to shine Spread your wings in the sky Feelin' good inside Breaking fool With no need to hide I got the music cuttin' through me Takin' control of my soul I can't hold back I've got to let go #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop

Yes.

I'm throwing rhymes down Kickin' them downtown Traveling high speed Through the underground I kick it freestyle Make it worth your while I've got shelves of rhymes That I keep on file #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop

Rope-a-dope dookies All around the neck Woo-ha! Got them all in check Running from the law, the press And the parents Is your name Michael Diamond? No, mine's Clarence #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #MikeD

MCA with the bottle D rocks the can AdRock gets nice With Charlie Chan We're offered Moët We dont mind Chivas Wherever we go We bring Monkey with us AdRock drinks 3 MikeD is D DoubleR foots the bill Most definitely I drink Brass Monkey And I rock well I got a castle in Brooklyn Thats where I dwell

Leggo my Eggo While I flex my ego Sip on Prosecco Dressed up tuxedo Sipping coffee, playing Keno In the casino Want a lucky number? Ask Mike Dino #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #MikeD

Still relevant!

Cash flow getting low So I had to pull a job I found a nice place to visit But a better place to rob I left my car outside And the engine still revving Takin' care of business At 7-Eleven #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop

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 Ad-Rock, MCA (and me) Mike D #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop

It's like a needle in the cartridge When the record spins Like diggin' down deep In the record bins Everybody gettin' down Make no mistake Nothing sounds quite like an 8...0...8 #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop

Bob Marley was a prophet For the freedom fight "If dancin' prays to the Lord Then I will feel all right" I'm feelin' good To play a little music Tears running down my face Cause I love to do it #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #bobmarley

Yauch says hell yeah, 100 followers!

This one gets it

What the real deal Why you can't connect? Why you hating people That you never met? Didn't your mama teach you To show some respect? Why not open your mind For a sec? It takes a second to wreck it It takes time to build #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop

Got the vibrations of the music Bringing light to your mind So you can move and groove And feel the beat of the time Sense the power in the air As it starts to move You get a real good feeling That you just can't lose #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop

Well, I gotta keep it going Keep it going full steam Too sweet to be sour Too nice to be mean Well, on the tough guy style I'm not too keen Trying to change the world I will plot and scheme #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop

I can't stand it I know you planned it I'ma set it straight This Watergate I can't stand rocking When I'm in here 'Cause your crystal ball Ain't so crystal clear So while you sit back And wonder why I got this fucking thorn In my side Oh my God It's a mirage I'm tellin' y'all It's sabotage!!

And then the man upstairs Well, I hope that he cares If I had a penny for my thoughts I'd be a millionaire We're just three MCs And we're on the go Shadrach Meshach Abednego #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop

I live in the Village Wherever I go I walk to I keep my friends around So I have someone to talk to I play my music loud because You know it's got clout to it "It's a trip... It's got a funky beat... And I can bug out to it!" #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #MikeD

Like Clockwork Orange Going off on the town I've got homeboy's bonanza To beat your ass down Well, I'm mad at my desk And I be writing all curse words Expressing my aggression through My schizophrenic verse words #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop

If you can feel what I'm feeling Then it's a musical masterpiece Hear what I'm dealing with Then that's cool at least What's running through my mind Comes through in my walk True feelings are shown From the way that I talk #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #MCA

Well they call me Mike D The ever-loving man I'm like Spoonie Gee I'm the metropolitician You scream and you holler About my Chevy Impala But the sweat is getting wet Around the ring around your collar #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #MikeD #chevy

One lonely Beastie I be All by myself Without nobody The sun is beating down On my baseball hat The air is getting hot The beer is getting flat Looking for a girl I ran into a guy His name was MCA I said, "Howdy," he said, "Hi." #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop

Introduce yourself with 5 groups you like, but were too damn lazy to see in concert when you had the chance: Beastie Boys Sabaton R.E.M. Rush Dropkick Murphys (I know, I am pathetic)

I've got friends and family That I respect When I think I'm too good They put me in check So believe when I say I'm no better than you Except when I rap So I guess it ain't true Like that, y'all And you just don't stop Guaranteed To make your body rock #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #AdRock

Waiting like a batter Who is on deck When its time to wreck shop Then shop I'll wreck So lets calibrate And check our specs We need a little shift On over to the left I don't really know But I suspect I think it's due time That we inspect How they get their information And their facts are checked!

I just love these "introduce yourself with concerts" posts on here. I lost count on how many hundreds of 'likes' I have dispensed in the last 36 hours! 👍👍👍

Don't grease my palms With your filthy cash Multinationals Spreading like a rash I might stick around Or I might be a fad But I won't sell my songs For no TV ad #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #MCA

'Cause we long behind the rage Learning from the pain The love behind the tension Like the sun behind the rain I'm sending loving light To all there is To all creation And the life we live I'm not preaching bullshit Just speaking my mind 'Cause I'm here now And it's about time #beastieboys

Communicator check One two one two This is Bones McCoy On a line to Sulu Set the bullshit To warp factor one Check your tri-corder Set your phaser to stun #beastieboys #lyrics #startrek #MCA

Yes, here we go again Give you more, nothing lesser Back on the mic It's the anti-depressor Ad-Rock, no pressure Yes, we need this The best is yet to come And, yes, believe this #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #AdRock

No time like the present To work shit out That's what we're going On and on and on about I'm not fakin', just makin' Beats in the dungeon Keep that shit funky Cause the odor is pungent No shame in my game Just par for the path I try to hone my craft Because at hand's the task #beastieboys #lyrics

I'm just a pause tape competition Expert winner Just a doggone long-armed Tall yarn spinner You want a battle? Easy now, star My DJ's so nasty He needs a sneeze guard #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop

I'm in the lab all day I Scrabble all night I got a bedazzler So my outfit's tight When it comes to panache I can't be beat I got the most style From below 14th street #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #AdRock

Dear New York I hope you're doing well I know a lot's happened And you've been through hell So, we give thanks For providing a home Through your gates at Ellis Island We passed in droves #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #NewYork #NYC

I shed light Like cats shed fur Ride around town Like I'm Raymond Burr I'm so high That they call me Your Highness So if you don't know me Then pardon my shyness #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #MikeD (for the #birthday boy!)

Get on the mic, Mike!
