Beastie Boys Do It Lyrics

Do It Lyrics

(Beastie Boys/Hall/Nishita/Caldato) 

     (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 f**ker and I get my flow 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 and I'm not a grinner
     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 came 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 on 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 my mind to a place where it's all one
     My sh*t is on and the rhyme style's kicking
     My brain is flowing honest like Abe Lincoln
     'Cause I'm the f**kin' rhythm ace with the rhyme selection
     Listen all y'all I rap with perfection
     Because I got the mother f**kin' 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 design
     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)
