As i develop the awakening mind i praise the buddha as they shine
I bow before you as i travel my path to join your ranks,
I make my full time task
For the sake of all beings i seek
The enlighted mind that i know i'll reap
Respect to shantideva and all the others
Who brought down the darma for sisters and brothers
I give thanks for this world as a place to learn
And for this human body that i know i've earned
And my deepest thanks to all sentient beings
For without them there would be no place to learn what i'm seeing
There's nothing here that's not been said before
But i put it down now so i'll be sure
To solidify my own views and i'll be glad if it helps
Anyone else out too


If others disrespect me or give me flack
I'll stop and think before i react
Knowing that they're going through insecure stages
I'll take the opportunity to exercise patience
I'll see it as a chance to help the other person
Nip it in the bud before it can worsen
A change for me to be strong and sure
As i think on the buddhas who have come before
As i praise and respect the good they've done
Knowing only love can conquer in every situation
We need other people in order to create
The circumstances for the learning that we're here to generate
Situations that bring up our deepest fears
So we can work to release them until they're cleared
Therefore, it only makes sense
To thank our enemies despite their intent


The bodhisattva path is one of power and strength
A strength from within to go the length
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
I try to make my every action for that highest good
With the altruistic wish to achive buddhahood
So i pledge here before everyone who's listening
To try to make my every action for the good of all beings
For the rest of my lifetimes and even beyond
I vow to do my best to do no harm
And in times of doubt i can think on the dharma
And the enlightened ones who've graduated samsara

Well it's 50 cups of coffee and you know it's on
I move the crowd to the break of break of dawn
Can't rock the house without the party people
Cause when we're gettin down we are all equal
There's no better or worse between you and me
But i rock the mic so viciously
Like pins and needles and words that sting
At the blink of an eye i will do my thing
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


Money makin money money makin manhattan
Super disco disco breakin'
Money makin money money makin manhattan
Super disco disco breakin'


Sometimes i like to brag sometimes i'm soft spoken
When i'm in holland i eat the pannenkoeken
World is the the spice you bring the sauce
You can kiss my ass you funky boss
Now that you got what you want, you want more
I'll be with the hammer and the nail at your door
With these funky beats i be goin' head huntin'
Shouts to my peeps let me know if you feel something
Cause i can give you all you need
A little beat for the rhythm and some words to read
Let me tell you now that's my favorite shit
And when i got a new rhyme i just say it
So money makin money money makin manhattan
Super disco disco breakin'
Money makin money money makin manhattan
Super disco disco breakin'
Go to top

M.c. for what i am and do
The a is for adam and the lyrics; true
So as pray and hope and the message is sent
And i am living in the dreams that i have dreamt
Because i'm down with the three the unstoppable three
Me and adam and d. were born to m.c.
And my body and soul and mind are pure
Not polluted or diluted or damaged beyond cure
Just lyrics from i to you recited
Arrested, bailed but cuffed and indicted
Enter the arena as i take center stage
The lights set low and the night has come of age
Take the microphone in hand as that i am a professional
Speak my knowledge to the crowd and the ed. is special
For i am a bard but not the last one
I'm my own king and this is my castle
Dwell in realms of now but vidi those of the past
Seen a glimpse from ahead and i don't think it's gonna last
And you can bet your ass


I drop the l. when i'm skiing
I'm smoking and peaking
I put the skis on the roof almost every single weekend
Can't stop the mindfuck when it's rolling along
Can't stop the smooth runnin's when the shit's running strong
Broke my bindings the lion with wings
Preaching his word in the b. boy sing
I am one with myself as i turn to the
I prefer the dreams to reality
I prefer my life don't need no other man's wife
Don't need no crazy lifestyle with stress and strife
But it's good to have turn to be a king for a day
Or for a week or for a year or for a year in a day
Come what may


I'm fishing with my boat and i'm fishing for trout
Mix the bass ale with the guiness stout
Fishing for a line inside my brain
And looking out at the world through my window pane
Every day has many colors cuz the glass is stained
Everything has changed but remains the same
So once again the mirror raised and i see myself as clear as day
And i am going to the limits of my ultimate destiny
Feeling as though somebody were testing me
He who sees the end from the beginning of time
Looking forward through all the ages is, was and always shall be
Check the prophetic sections of the pages


He goes by the name of disco dave

Brand new, it's brand new for you
Brand new, it's brand new for you
Brand new, it's brand new for you
Brand new, it's brand new for you

Deep inside you will find
Something that you won't mind
Think about diamond rings and goldfronts combined
Then go back go way back
Something passed that you lack
Well i've got brand new scooby snack just for you

Brand new, it's brand new for you(x4)

Deep inside you will find

Think about diamond rings and goldfronts combined
Then go back go way back
Something passed that you lack
Well i've got brand new scooby snack just for you

Sabrosa

Brand new, it's brand new for you (x4)

Some static started in the pool hall
Hit a motherfucker's face with the cue ball
Then i met this girl she tried to gank me
So i smacked her in the booty with m.c. plank bee
Me and my crew out breaking windows
The bingo the lotto you know i'll never win those
Possession is half the law
I had my routines before all y'all
Your whole life is coming apart at the seams
You ain't nothing but a car thief biting routines
I'm a city slicker i ain't no townie
Right now i wish i had another hash brownie
Like ricky always said you've got to toke and pass
Or mookie's gonna kick your fuckin' ass
You try to take what isn't yours like a god damn rat
See personally i wouldn't want to go out like that


I'm a writer a poet a genius i know it
I don't buy cheeba i grow it marijuana
People always trying to get next to me
I had a beautiful experience on ecstasy
Smoked up a bag of elephant tranquilizer
Because i had to deal with a money hungry miser
Had a caine filled kool with my man rush rush
Saw my teeth fall in the sink when i started to brush
You be doing nose candy on the bowie coke mirror
My girl asked for some but i pretended not to hear her
You can't deny me you always want to try me
You're just gonna get your ass kicked
Homeboy throw in the towel
Your girl got dicked by ricky powell
The godfather of soul is in the belly of the beast
For smoking that dust at st. anthony's feast


All the wife beaters and all the tax cheaters
Sitting in the white house pulling their peters
Buy my cheeba from the cop down the street
The only cop with a rope chain walking the beat
Like a sneaky pouch time bomb tickin'
Like the beat to my rhyme just kickin'
Space cake cookies i discover who i am
I'm a dusted old bummy hurdy gurdy man
Five-o caught me now i'm going to the mountains
Said good-bye to my girl my lawyers and accountants
My mind is kinda rhymin and i think i oughta think
So i'm rockin all the rhymes and i'll have another drink
So the lights are flashing my mind is spinning
I feel like it is always the beginning
Of another rhyme i'm rapping m.c.'ing i rock
You ain't nothing but a car thief who must be stopped

Well,
Back to the beat y'all,
Down with the sound so sweet y'all
Just how fresh can you get y'all
Those that are blessed say yes y'all
'cause i'm a come inside and do my thing
I'm gonna take off my drawers and let myself swing
Tantalize my tummy with a boo boo snack
But now i got to get back


Gonna break it down to the nitty grit
Gonna tell you motherfuckers why you ain't shit
'cause suckers like you just make me strong
When you're popping that bullshit all day long


I'm gonna bust my shoes i'm gonna bust my socks
I'm gonna spread my word from standing on this box
This drive through world it just ain't right
Gonna run to joe and tony's and get my hair cut nice


Well come on y'all and let's work it out
I'm trying to get up so don't you get me down
Life i love you now give me a pound
Up from the frying pan into the fire
Look within and try to admire, yeh
What's going on y'all

Because i grab the microphone and i pick it up
And then i fuck it up and then i turn it in
And then i turn it out, got the body rockin' sound
And then you know i'm gonna get down and
Eat a scooby snack and take disco nap
Because i'm shopping at sears, 'cause i don't buy at the gap
Sending this one out to all the funky inspirations
Pretty purdie on the drums with the beat relations
Well, i'm working on rhymes, they're coming line by line
Trying to put what i feel into word and rhymes
I've got a feeling coming on, i've got to make some shit
A little something stupid, for the twisted and sick
Because i drive like a maniac on the streets
And i don't give fuck 'cause i've got the beats
Got my nuts swingin' from left to right and
Right to left and i'm death defying


Alright hear this
Alright hear this


I spin my fortune on a wheel like sajak
Here's the payback keep going strong like since the way back
I try to be myself but i lose track
'cause the shit gets complicated now i've got to get back
As we learn to breed love for one another
In these times of melying cultures
I give respect for what's been borrowed and lent
I know this music comes down from african descent
Because i don't need a magic potion
Let me talk about back field in motion
My girls got cheeks for weeks and i'm happy
You know i'm a sneak like my old grand pappy
I gotta give thanks to my man archie shep
For staying true to inspiration and i don't half step
So i kick out the jams and tell you who i am
And i talk to the people like les mccann


(chorus)

I ask god for a rhyme or two
A little something for the wise as well as the fool
A little something to affect a little taste of change
For the together and the strong as well as the dearanged
I'll do you right like bobby knight
And then i'm rapping on the mic to the broadway light
Stomp my hands, i clap my feet and
I'm bugging off yusef lateef
I got a match to my ass and i'm a keep it lit
I need to get some cash, call my accountant britt
I'm rushing around town taking care of my functions
Always got one more thing so forget about function
We create this world and the problems go on
Create our lives and the things that go wrong
So to the deaf, the blind, look around and listen
To what it is you want and for what you're wishing


(chorus)

It's 4:00 a.m. i've got the dr. hfuhruhurr ale
I've got nothing to lose so i'm pissin' on the third rail
Groggy eyed and fried i'm headed for the station
D-train ride to coney island vacation
Dedicated to the boofers in the back of the 1 train
They'll be kicking out windows high on cocaine
Then i ump the turnstyle i lost my last token
Riding between the cars pissing smoking
Head for the last car fluorescent light blackout
Policeman told my homeboy put that crack out
You know you light up when the lights go down
Then you read the new york post fulton st. downtown
Same faces every day but you don't know their names
Party people going placed on the d-train


Trench coat wing tip going to work
And you'll be pulling a train like captain kirk
Pick pocket gangsters paying their debts
I caught a bullet in the lung from bernie goetz
Overworked and underpaid staring at the floor
Prostitutes spandex caught in the slide doors
Stuck between the stations it seems like an eternity
Sweating like sardines in a flophouse fraternity
$50.00 fine for disturbing the peace
The neck tortoise your lees are creased
Hot cup of coffee and the donuts are dunkin
Friday night and jamaica queens funkin
Elevated platform never gonna conform
Riding over the diner where i always get my toast warm
Bust into the conductor's booth and busted out rhymes
Over the loud speaker about the hard times
Sat across from a man readin el diario
Riding the train down from el barrio
Went from the station straight to orange julius
I bought a hot dog from my man george drakoulias

And what do you do when
Your own man kills himself and
How do i make friends now


And where is my mom
I need to show her that
She taught me


And please let me
Die an instant death

I can hear the trumpets blowing screaming out the end of time
Look around and listen and you'll see every sign
The waters are polluted as the forests are cut down
Bombing and drilling deep below the ground
Check the prophecies from around the world
And look around now as it all unfurls
Look into yourself and see what goes on
Get a feeling in your heart of the right from wrong
Because the mother earth needs to be respected
Been far from too long that she's been neglected
Race against race, such a foolish waste
It's like cutting off your nose to spite your face
And at the end of the wars, what was the cost
It's clear that the earth was the one who lost
We are one with her as she is one with us
It's unreal how she is treated so unjust
As our planet grows smaller each and every day
Everyone affecting everyone in every way
We're all citizens of the world community
All here together and we're searching for unity
Over the years, i've grown and changed so much
Things i know now years ago, i couldn't touch
There are things i've done that i wouldn't do again
But i'm glad that i did 'cause i've learned from them
I just try to stay present right here, right now
No worries, no fears and without any doubts


It's about time (x4)


'cause in these times, these changing times
A transition is occuring and i am not blind
As the pendlum swings a new age we enter
And with every swing, it draws closer to the center
Yes the storm before the calm and the wars that lead to love
Things must run their course so we push and we shove
But we're here to work it out in one way or another
To find a mutual respect for ourselves and one another
And the true key is a trust in self
For when i trust myself, i fear no one else
I took control of my life, just as anyone can
I want everyone to see it's in the palm of your hand
The past is gone, the future yet unborn
But right here and now is where it all goes on
I know we can fix it and it's not too late
I give respect to king and his nonviolent ways
I dream and i hope and i won't forget
Someday i'm going to visit on a free tibet
Someday i'm going to see us all joined as one
And it would be too bad to blow it up before we're done
'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 that is
To all creation and the life we live
I'm not preaching bull shit, just speaking my mind
'cause i'm here now and it's about time

Like a flag at half mast as frames click fast
Not a thing will last as past is past
Like stacks of thoughts that got played and worn
Used over and over till they were tired and torn
Like a broken clock that can't tell time
Like a thick ass book that's filled with wack rhymes
Like a scorching blaze that burned the sand
Like a band that planned and planned and planned
And flew down like a raven in the dark of night
And snatched up the worm helpless to fight
And brought it back to the nest singing microphone check
One two one two this is just a test


Like sand in one hand you can't hold for long
Like scheming on a plan that goes all wrong
Like fudge and caramel they're not the same
And it's a shame all you talk is game
You act like a diamond waiting to be set
In a gold ring, as if, i bet
As time goes by in this give and take
As long as i learn i will make mistakes
What do i want? what do i need?
Why do i want it? what's in it for me?
It's the imagery of technology
Is what you get is what you see
Don't worry your mind
When you give it your best
One two one two this is just a test

The beatsie boys they are they're comin' home
They're comin' home they're comin' home
Oh they're comin' home

Funky boss get off my back

What makes you feel
And why you gotta be
Like you got the right
To look her up and down
What makes this world
So sick and evil


I know you don't know


What makes you feel
Like you got (miracle) whip appeal
Who made you the judge an jury
Ain't you never heard of privacy
What makes this world
So sick and evil


You figure it out

A butterfly floats on the breeze of a sun lit day
As i feel this reality gently fade away
Riding on a thought to see where it's from
Gliding through a memory of a time yet to come
Smoke paints the air swirling images through my mind
Like a whirlpool spin beginning to unwind
And i stand at the edge cautiously awaiting
As time slips by
Carefully navigating by the stars in the sky
And i sit and i think to myself
And on the horizon the sun light begins to climb
And it seems like it's been so long since he shined
But i'm sure it was only yesterday


Namaste

A cold chill of fear cut through me
I felt my heart contract
To my mind i brought the image of light
And i expanded out of it
My fear was just a shadow
And then a voice spoke in my head
And she said dark is not the opposite of light
It's the absence of light
And i thought to myself
She knows what she's talking about
And for a moment i know
What it was all about

Good morning, time to get up and go to work
I ride on the bus into the city everyday
I sit on my seat and i dream myself away
I dream i'm on an island with that foxy lady too
But when i awaken i must be mistaken i'm on third avenue
Won't you take me away and take away me
Won't you take me away and take away me

Cause i'm the high plains drifter,
And i'm a drifter
The hight plains drifter,
And i'm a drifter
They can't catch me never gonna find me
They're never gonna know that i'm the high plains drifter


Pulled over to the river to take a rest
Pulled out a pair of pliers and pulled the bullet out of my chest
Fear and loathing across the country listening to my 8 track
I reached behind the seat and grabbed a kool from the pack
Long distance from my girl and i'm talking on the cellular
She said that she was sorry and i said yeah the hell you were
Check my rear view mirror check the gold tooth display
Check out the odometer and i was on my way
Cause i'm a high plains drifter the best that you can get
A strapped shoplifter a pirate on cassette
Bust a travis bickle when i feel that i'm getting pushed
Don't step to me or you're gonna get mushed
I'm doing 120 plowing over mail boxes
Radar detector to tell me where the cops is
Spend another night at the motel 6
It's five dollars extra get the porno flicks
Concoct a black and tan in my brandy snifter
I'm a kleptomaniac k-mart shoplifter
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 revvin'
Time to get busy at 7-eleven
Then i went inside to make my withdrawal
I saw what he had had but i had to take it all


Knucklehead deli tried to gyp me on the price
So i clocked him off the turban with the bag of ice
Cause i'm mellow like jell-o cool like lemonade
I made my getaway and i thought that i had it made
I feel like steve mcqueen a former movie star
Look in my rearview mirror seen a police car
Ballantine quarts with the puzzle on the cap
I couldn't help but notice i was caught in a speed trap
Dirty mary crazy larry on the run from dirty harry
Stash the cash in the dash but my gun i did carry
I'm seeing blue and red flashing deep in the night
I got my alibi straight and i pulled over to the right
Cop knocked on my window and said boy where's the fire
You've got a mailbox on your bumper and a bald front tire
Outta the car longhair your goose is cooked
Read me my rights fingerprinted and booked
Makin' like a d.t. driving a gran fury
Wherever i hang my hat's my home and my past is kind of blurry
Every dog will have its day and mine will be in front of a jury
I'm the high plains drifter and i'm never in a hurry
Read me my rights as if i didn't know this
Threw me in the tank with the drunk called otis
With his five o' clock shadow he smelled of 3-day old beer
My man turned to me and said why are you here?
I said i'm charming and dashing i'm rental car bashing
Phony paper passing at nix check cashing
I went before the judge he sent me to the brooklyn house of d.
He said you behave son or we'll throw away the key
Harry houdini'd out the cuffs i kicked the screw in the knee
Took the bailiff's wallet and went straight to o.t.b.
I had a good feeling easy come easy go
I bet on one horse to win and another to show
And sure enough that knak came in
Brought my ticket to the window and collected my win
Broke into my new car with a wire coat hanger
Hot wired hot wheeled and suzy is a headbanger

I'm flowing prose to cons and cons to pros
I'm scheming rhyme against reason like it was flow against know
But beyond the concepts and emotions that rise
To the interconnectedness that underlies
The lies upon lies have lost their meaning
The plies upon plies of consciousness that is being
Over and over i fall i learned to walk from a crawl
It's not sad it's just the way and the purpose of it all


Now every word that you heard that i said that you felt
Was put in place in the space as they were shuffled and dealt
I steal feels from reels but i pay my respects
Paying compliments and disses and deciphering affects
Words are water as i court her, as she is pristine
Words and mics fall to dust and all that's left is the feelings
I give in and i win i try to never complain
Intentions venture to center and then they set the stage
But i'll remain sane making gain without pain
Staining trains with names and driving lanes to the refrain
And keep it positive as painstaking as it is
I'll never turn back cause that's the way i've got to live


So like a cloud carries rain i'm gonna carry my rhyme
Coming like thunder with lightening timing
No hesitation in gestation of thoughts and plans
Ferment time like wine no ploys or scams
Like the islands dot the oceans in the endless seas
Ideas coming to me in answer to my pleas
Woke up this morning right out of a dream
Reached for my pen and pad because my mind was on a rhyme scheme
What can i do with these bones and flesh?
With these animated thoughts in a world repressed?
I'm going down like the rhythms on the winds of change
I'm keeping calm under pressure like a deep-sea range
I'm flowing prose to cons and cons to pros
I'm like toucan sam when i follow my nose
I'm giving shouts to gandhi, gravy and king
His holiness and all enlightened beings
I'll be the one who screams it on the microphone
I'll be the one who brings it inside your home
But the words ain't mine i just pass em along
For betty williams and her friends i sing this song
And more ink from my pen and more tears from my eyes
And more crimes are committed as i say these lines

(chorus)

Like the black birds i'm a do it fluid
Building rhymes like buildings, like a stonehenge druid
Step up and get enlightened, educating my mind
I play the tape forward, it's not time to rewind
Step inside the mother fucker and i get my flow on
Amalgamating styles so i've got something to grow on
Season's change when it comes their time
Falls brings the winter and on back to springtime
Well, it's the king ad rock and that's who i am
Listen all of y'all i'm not the son of sam
'cause i'm thin and i don't grin
But check it out people 'cause i love to go and swim
Caught up on the phone fiber optic distraction
Information super highway got the brain contraction
I'm the kung fu master vs. the sumo wrestler
Got the beats in manhatten you can hear in westchester
Well, my mother was born out in coney island
Raised on the l.e.s. manhatten island
My dad camo out from detroit and they had me
And back on through ellis island goes through the family tree
Well, i'm a six point seven on the richter scale
I've got rhymes gallot and then i never fail
Like gravy to potatos, luke to darth vader
I'm a souped up sucker and i'll see you all later


(chorus)

You see me coming down the block with the funky cuts
You say mike d. and i say mic these nuts
I've got attractions like i'm elvis costello
Adam yauch grab the mic 'cause you know you're my mellow
Well when i get it into the zone
I'm gonna take it to a place where it's all one
My shit is on and the rhyme style's kicking
My brain is flowing honest like abe lincoln
'cause i'm the fuckin' rythm ace with the rhyme selection
Listen all y'all i rap with perfection
Because i got the mother fuckin' old school flavor
That you savor so watch your behavior
Talking other dimensions, levels higher
Why did billy joel say we didn't start the fire
Take you to another realm, another level
I've got the funky rhymes but i'm not the funky devil
I step from minute to minute, lifetime to lifetime
Step from stage to stage to see it all unwind
Slowly but surely i seek to find my mind
And every wall that i face is of my own desig
Glendale boulevard boulevard
Glendale boulevard is where i'm at
It's where i'm at, where i live
Check it out because my head is like a siv
And we turn it out


(chorus)

Lighten up shine like the sun

Yo..hello..
It's times like this when i just can't stop
Can't wind your body without the body rock
Got schemes schematics blue prints on file
You gotta have dreams to make it all worthwhile
So as i take my time and realign
I wonder what it is i hope to find
I don't mean to brag i don't mean to boast
But i'm intercontinental when i eat french toast
Adrock with the new edition
Gettin on down for the year 2000
A slight distraction can get you paid
And when it comes to that type shit i paved the way


Bboys to the early morn
Bgirls be rockin on and on
Bgirls to the break of dawn
Bboys be rockin on and on


Dogs love me cause i'm crazy sniffable
I bet you never knew i got the ill peripheral
In your home i'm cloned i'm on your headphones
I love it when you spazz out all alone
Cause i'm that fool that broke the key
I'm unlockable so don't check me
Got weight on my shoulders and things on my mind
The sky is falling and i'm falling behind
So i synthesize sounds as i patch my brain
Insane mind games move quick like flames
So now i wonder how sometimes you never know
Who be rockin y'all in stereo in stereo in stereo in stereo


No time like the present to work shit out
That's what i'm going on and on and on about
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 hands the task
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


Bboys to the early morn
Bgirls be rockin on and on
Bgirls to the break of dawn
Bboys be rockin on and on


(spanish crap)

Soft overripe fresh skeezed california females
With 3-inch cherry red press-on lee nails
Reach into my mind for the rhymes i'm seeking
Like a garbage bag full overflowing now it's leaking
Rapunzel rapunzel let down your hair
So i can climb up and get into your underwear
Rat soup eating test cheating no business punk
You're insecure born in the junkyard with the junk
You've gone wet look crazy and messed with your head
You fucked around and wound up with the bald skin head
You're all mixed up like pasta primavera
Why'd you throw that chair at geraldo rivera man
Cause one man's ceiling is another man's floor
So get that money out of your ass you whore
I brought her upstairs onto the roof
I dogged your wife and she is a doofus
What goes around, comes around


Clean b cleaning the g spot you know that we've got
Dolemite's house and you have not
Look out my window look over the city
With two black eyes your girl ain't that pretty
Why you wanna beat that brat with a bat
Why you wanna treat your girl like that
Living in the rat race smoking rat weed
You reap what you sow when you plant the seed
Bum cheese on rye with ham and prosciutto
Got more louie than phil rizzuto
What goes around, comes around


Funky pam, f.p.

Hey ladies in the place i'm callin' out to ya
There never was a city kid truer and bluer
There's more to me than you'll ever know
And i've got more hits than sadaharu oh
Ton thumb tom cushman or tom foolery
Date women on t.v. with the help of chuck woolery
Words are flowing out just like the grand canyon
And i'm always out looking for a female companion
I threw the lasso around the tallest one and dragged her to the crib
I took off her moccasins and put on my bib
I'm wheelin' and dealin' i make a little bit of stealing
I'll bring you back to the place and your dress i'm peeling
Your body's on time and your mind is appealing
Staring at the cracks up there upon the ceiling
Some such nonsense is the bass that i'm throwing
Talking to a girl telling her i'm all knowing
She's talking to the kid to the who
I'm telling here every lie that you know that i never did
Hey ladies, get funky


Me in the corner with a good looking daughter
I dropped my drawers and it was welcome back kotter
We were cutting up the rug she started cutting up the carpet
In my apartment i begged her please stop it
The gift of gab is the gift that i have
And that girl ain't nothing but a crab
Educated no stupid yes
And when i say stupid i mean stupid fresh
I'm not james at 15 or chachi in charge
I'm adam and i'm adamant about living large
With the white sassoons and the looks that kill
Makin' love in the back of my coupe de ville
I met a little cutie she was all hopped up on zootie
I liked the little cutie but i kicked her in the bootie
Cause i don't kinda go for that messin' around
You be listening to my records' a number one sound
Step to the rhythm step step to the ride
I've got an open mind so why don't you all get inside
Tune in turn on to my tune that's live
Ladies flock like fish to my line
Hey ladies, get funky


She's got a gold tooth you know she's hardcore
She'll show you a good time then she'll show you the door
Break up with your girl it ended in tears
Vincent van gogh and mail that ear
I call her in the middle of the night when i'm drinking
The phone booth on the corner is damp and it's stinking
She said come on over it was me that she missed
I threw that trash can through her window cause you know i got dissed
Your old lady left you and you went girls(x3) insane
You blew yourself up in the back of the 6 train
Take my advice at any price a gorilla like your mother is mighty weak
Sucking down pints till i didn't know
Woke up in the morning at the won ton ho
Cause i announce i like girls that bounce
With the weight that pays about a pound per ounce
Girls with curls and big long locks
And beatnik chicks just wearing their smocks
Walking high and mighty like she's #1 and
She thinks she's the passionate one

Now here we go dropping science dropping it all over
Like bumping around the town like when you're driving a range rover
Expanding the horizons and expanding the parameters
Expanding the rhymes of sucker m.c. amateurs
Naugels, isaac newton scientific e.z.
Ben franklin with the kite getting over with the key
Rock shocking the mic as many times times the times tables
Rock well to tell dispel all of the old fables
I've been dropping the new science and kicking the new knowledge
An m.c. to a degree that you can't get in college
The dregs of the earth and the eggs that i eat
I've got pegs through my hands and one through my feet
Shea stadium the radium e m d squared
Got kicked out of the palladium you think that i cared
It's the sound of science


Time and money for girls covered with honey
You lie and aspire to be as cunning
Reeling and rockin' and rollin' b size d cup
Order the quarter deluxe why don't you wake up
My mind is kinda flowin like an oil projector
Had to get up to get the jimmy protector
Went berserk and worked and exploded
She woke up in the morning and her face was coated
Buddy you study the man on the mic
D. do what you like
Drunk a skunk am i from the celebration
To peep that freak unique penetration
I figured out who makes the crack
It's the suckers with the badges and the blue jackets
A professor of science cause i keep droppin' it
I smell weak cause you keep poppin' it
People always asking what's the phenomenon
Yo what's up know what's going on
No one really knows what i'm talking about
Yeah that's right my name's yauch


Ponce de leon constantly on
The fountain of youth not robotron
Peace is a word i've heard before
So move and move and move upon the dance floor
I'm gonna die gonna die one day
Cause i'm goin and goin and goin this way
Not like a roach or a piece of toast
I'm going out first class not going out coach
Rock my adidas never rock fila
I do not sniff the coke i only smoke sinsemilla
With my nose i knows and with my scopes i scope
What i live i write and that is strictly rope
I've got science for any occasion
Postulating theorems formulating equations
Cheech wizard in a snow blizzard
Eating chicken gizzards with a girl named lizzy
Dropping science like when galileo dropped the orange

I kick it root down
I put my root down


It's not a put down
I put my foot down
And then i make some love, i put my root down
Like sweetie pie by the stone alliance
Everbody knows i'm known for dropping science
I'm electric like dick hyman
I guess you'd expect to catch the crew rhymin'
Never let you down with the stereo sound
So mike, get on the mic and turn it out
We're talking root down, i put my boot down
And if you want to battle me, you're putting loot down
I said root down, it's time to scoot down
I'm a step up to the mic in my goose down
Come up representing from the upper west
Money makin' putting me to the test
Sometimes i feel as though i've been blessed
Because i'm doing what i want so i never rest
Well, i'm not coming out goofy like the fruit of the loom guys
Just strutting like the meters with the look-ka py py
'cause downtown brooklyn is where i was born
But when the snow is falling, then i'm gone
You might think that i'm a fanatic
A phone call from utah and i'm throwing a panic
But we break it from the root when we kick it on down
Jimmy smith is my man, i want to give him a pound


(chorus)

Ad rock don't stop, just get on the mic with the tic and the toc
I'll fill you with the fuckin' rim like brim
I'm walking down your block and you say that's him
There goes the guy with the funky sound
The beastie boys you know we come to get down
Because i've got the flow where i grab my dick
And say oh my god, that's the funky shit
So i'm going to pass the mic and cause a panic
The original nasal kid is doing damage
Every morning i took the train to high street station
Doing homework on the train, what a fucked up situation
On the way back up hearing battle tapes
Through the underground, underneath the sky scrapes
Like harlem world battles on the zulu beat show
It's kool moe d vs. busy bee there's one you should know
Enough of that, i just want to give some respect due
M.c.a. grab the mic and the ma bell will connect you
Bob marley was a prophet for the freedom fight
"if dancin' prays to the lord then i shall feel alright"
I'm feeling good to play a little music
Tears running down my face 'cause i love to do it
And no one can stop this flow from flowing on
A flow master in disaster with a sound that's gone
I'll give a little shout out to my dad and mom
For bringing me into this world and so on


(chorus)

Get on the mic mike let's be real and don't cloud the issue
The rhymes are dope an m.c. you must listen to
People say that they been missin' me and missin' you
Get on the mic and let's show them like we used to
You say fuck that yo holmes fuck this
The king ad-whammy your dick butkus
One half science and the other half soul
His name's mike d. not fat morton jelly roll
M.c. busy le disco fooled around in fresno
Got over on your girlie cause you know she never says no
Well mike d. is a special individual
Pulling out knots pulling in residuals
Go to the movies get the rolos the cholos riding slow and low
Mike on the mic and bust with the solo
Mike my stromy don't be so selfish
Get on the mic cause you know you eat shellfish

Who is the man coming down your block
It's me you see with the funk in my walk
'cause i'm doin' just what i like to
Today is my day and i'm a get nice too
You gotta keep movin' and you can't say nothing
I'm a keep bouncin' and bumpin' and stuffin'
One thing you ought to know---i am the maestro


(speech)

I feel like rufus thomas the crown prince of dance
I'm mike d and i'm known for romance
I'm the crazy baldhead with the part on the side
And i'm riding down the block like i'm on a water slide
'cause it's the type of day i feel like pressing my luck
'cause i got nothing to lose 'cause i don't give a fuck
See i'm a player i play don't play to win i play to show
I am the maestro!


(routine, then speech)
Who is the man.

Beatsie beatsie boys gettin live on the spot
Puttin all kinds of shame in the game you've got
We keep the party movin to the broad day light
G.e.t.l.i.v.e. alright


Transhypnotic robotic can't stop it
No limits to this style and you know you can't lock it
First you mock it, rock it and then you stock it
But i've got the styles that are always in the pocket
Like a bird floating down on a new york breeze
Every thought in the mind is a planted seed
So watch the mind or the thoughts will stack
Before you know it they're boomeranging on back
I'm the king of boggle there is none higher
I get 11 points off the word quagmire
Fools can't see me and that's how it is
And that's how i like it cause that's my biz


Beatsie beatsie boys gettin live on the spot
Puttin all kinds of shame in the game you've got
We keep the party movin to the broad day light
G.e.t.l.i.v.e. alright


Time's an illusion as the moments race by
Too fast to really grasp though we may try
Deny, till we die, ooh my my
These thoughts that mislead and then multiply
Well second by second and minute by minute
It's like lotto you gotta be in it to win it
Shakin mind breakin on their own demise
Lies tax to the max and they'll be feelin those vibes
So tell me what you need that you have got
Fiending on power will make your blood clot
It starts with the greed and then goes all wrong
That's why we can't all just get along
We're all connected like a lego set
One equaling one together like a croquette
Whether we have or have not yet met
It ain't no thing and it ain't no sweat


Beatsie beatsie boys gettin live on the spot
Puttin all kinds of shame in the game you've got
We keep the party movin to the broad day light
G.e.t.l.i.v.e. alright
Nonstop hip-hop


You're caught in a panic and it's rattled your brain
The selfish ways just can't maintain
But these are the breaks when you try and come fake
Don't come with the rhymes that you just half baked
I'm the benihana chef on the sp12
I chop the fuck out the beats left on the shelf
You be like hello nasty where you been
It's time you brought the grimy beats out the dungeon
I jumped outside the house with my walkman on
I get so hyped when i hear this song
It's gonna keep me happy like all day long
So go and talk shit cause it just makes me strong
Don't grease my palm 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


Beatsie beatsie boys gettin live on the spot
Puttin all kinds of shame in the game you got
We keep the party movin to the broad day light
G.e.t.l.i.v.e. alright
Junior

People how you doing there's a new day dawning
For the earth mother it's a brand new morning
For such a long while there's been such a longing
But now the sun is shining let's roll back the awning


This is a type of kinda like a formal dedication
Giving out a shout for much inspiration
All i ever really want to do is get nice
Get loose and goof my little slice of life
Sendin' out love to all corners of the land
I jump up on the stage and take the mic
In my hand not playin' the roll just being who i am
And if you try to dis me i couldn't give a damn
'cause i'm rockin'


Bass from the back of my car feels soothing
Eight bazookas is what i'm using
I'm mike d and it's been proven
I love it when i see the party people get movin'
Strapped on the ear goggles and what did i see
But the music brought the people into harmony

Good times gone and you missed them
What's gone wrong in your system
Things they bounce just like a spalding
What'd you think did you miss your calling
It's so free this kind of feeling
It's like life it's so appealing
When you've got so much to say
It's called gratitude, and rhat's right


Good times gone but you feed it
Hate's grown strong you feel you need it
Just one thing do you know
What you think that the world owes you
What's gonna set you free
Look inside and you'll see
When you've got so much to say
It's called gratitude, and that's right

Things get hectic quick
From the satellite dish to your joy stick
It's the night of the living cable box
Wires coming up from around the block
Remote control to change the station
But that won't change your situation
Have you seen what i mean
I'm the little gnome that's in your dreams
So i say this rhyme built by design
To take you beyond space and time
Said who is the man making diamonds out of coal
The man pushing buttons on remote control


Remote i want control
Remote i want control


Until your back's up against the wall
You never know yourself that much at all
So you've got to share your love with a friend
That's all that you've got left in the end
Living in this city of pure confusion
People misled by their own illusion
All this action, no satisfaction
We're all linked together like a chain reaction
Play or fold, love is bold
What is the future that will unfold?
Some like it hot, others like it cold
But we all want to hold the remote control


Remote i want control
Remote i want control
Remote i want control
Remote i want control


Things get hectic quick
All of the sudden i'm in the thick
Too much drama all around
Distractions booming in sensuround
Like a rainy day's earth won't sit still
Sliding on down a hill
Sometimes life it seems to stall
So never be ungrateful y'all
So i got a little something for your pay per view
Like don king i've got the crazy hair do
We've got cameras on mars on space patrol
Controlled on earth by remote control
Go to top
