Beastie Boys

You Rip Van Winkle, now you're gonna wake up

MC's, pick up a hobby that you're gonna' take up

Well, on the stage I'm known to break fool, huh

But when I'm at the table it's the Futterman's rule (wohoo)

Workin' on my game cause it's time to tax

I'm on a crazy mission to wax Bob Mack, shit

Let it go down like it's supposed to be

Words together like birds in a flock

Ah yes rhymes on time like the hands on a clock

Well I'm an epileptic, a skept-a-cleptic, check it

I'm cutting up the beats from the bear, I clept it

I fucked around and then I lost my tooth ahaa

I'm telling everybody it's the goddamn truth

Like Dennis Coffey, I'm a Scorpio

Like my man Schneider, I'm a super ho (super ho)

Making mountains out of molehills and rockin' some mo' skills

Butt naked beats with butt naked fills

I don't sell bullets and I don't sell crack

Rub a little oil on my neck and back shit

Now listen baby doll, we outta hit the sack

The original, Young Aboriginal (ohoo)

Continued evolution of an individual, well I'll tell ya

Got so many rhymes ya know my throat is sore

It's 1992 and still no one to vote for

Well, like my words is what I'm seeing through my own eyes

A little vision of the truth in a world of lies
