Beastie Boys - A Year and a Day lyrics
[Beastie Boys - A Year and a Day lyrics]
M C for what I am, and do
The A is for Adam, and the lyrics true
So as I pray and hope
That 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 emcee
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 the center stage
The lights set low
And the night has come of age
Take the microphone in hand as
I am a professional
Speak my knowledge to the crowd
And the Ed is Special
For I am the Bard, and I am the last one
I am the 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 skiin'
I'm smokin' and peakin'
I put the skis on the
Roof almost every single weekend
Can't stop the mindfuck when
It's rollin' along
Can't stop the smooth running when
The shit's running strong
Broke my bindings, the lion with wings
Preaching his words in the b-boy sing
I am one with myself, as I turn to thee
Prefer the dreams to the 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 a turn to
Be a king for a day
Or for a week, or for a year
Or for a year and a day come what may
I'm fishin' in my boat
And I'm fishing for trout
Mix the Bass Ale with the Guinness Stout
Fishing for a line inside my brain
And looking out at the world
Through my window pane
Every day has many colors 'cause
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'm going to the limit's
Of my ultimate destiny
Feeling as though somebody, somewhere
Is 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
