Beastie Boys - The Scoop lyrics
[Beastie Boys - The Scoop lyrics]
I don't go blind, I don't drink wine
I took a sledge hammer, and I broke my nine
Because my life is mine, word is bond I rhyme
And every day I write the
Book down line by line
I'm feeling good when I do it like this
So come on and turn it
Up because you can't resist
Because I'm back with another track
In which you lack
'Cause things is wack, and that's a fact
Because I'm on time, you're shouting rewind
You know it's Adrock that's blowing your mind
My shit is rough
And you know it is so damn tough
I'm getting intense, not talking nonsense
I made up my mind, not sitting on the fence
I don't always know the right from the wrong
Do my best to figure it out and
Work it out in the long
I try to do a lot, more than I can chew
I balance out my ambitions what I got to do
Check it, better believe it, y'all
Check it, better believe it, y'all
This is rough and tough
'Cause you hide in broad daylight, a parasite
A hypocrite, you take a peek quick
You turn your nose up
(what) , you think you're high up (uh)
You play it real safe
And now your shit's fake i seen you hawking
And then you clock my style
And then you try to play it
Off like you think you're wild
DIY, that means do it yourself
I don't sit around waitin' for someone's help
I don't sit back and say, "Good enough"
I keep on striving, reinventing
Keepin' it off the cuff
So I kick the level up cuhootnified
Mackadocius vibes, positively fortified
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
I'm feeling good now, back home again
Well, New York City is the city
That I feel at home in (woo)
A blast from the Grasshoff, a while it's been
Stepping into the future again (yeah)
Uh, and now I'm straight from 88
To 93 to 94, I'm out the door
Step into the party with the Fila fresh gear
People looking at me like I
Was David Koresh here
Kicking rhymes from the heart 'cause
That's where I'm at fuck the bullshit
Be it far from me to pop that
In the search for truth, I go a lot of ways
There's not a lot of peace
That I find these days
I try to stay cool, I try to stay calm
But my life is getting hectic
Like a smoke bomb
So I'll say it like the group Huggy Bear
There's a boy-girl revolution of which
You should be aware
You can't dis me, it ain't worth it, B
You put yourself down, and you don't even see
'Cause, I don't play that, I know who I am
For a minute I didn't, but now I'm back again
I'm feeling strong, see, trust myself, G
Well, I stopped smoking cheeba
That was part of the key
We, we, we've got fire, we need water
There ain't no water, so I guess I ought to
Leave you broke in a comatose state of mind
And I'm blind, and I'm working overtime
So check it
I keep my rhymes in my little black book
And I know you wanna take another look
I took a sledge hammer, and I broke my nine
Because my life is mine, word is bond I rhyme
And every day I write the
Book down line by line
I'm feeling good when I do it like this
So come on and turn it
Up because you can't resist
Because I'm back with another track
In which you lack
'Cause things is wack, and that's a fact
