  1. Beatsie, Beatsie, Beatsie, Beatsie Boys gettin' live on the spot

  2. Puttin' all kinds of shame in the game you got

  3. We keep the party movin' to the broad daylight

  4. G-E-T-L-I-V-E, alright

  5. Transhypnotic, robotic, can't stop it

  6. No limits to this style and you know you can't lock it

  7. First you mock it, rock it and then you stock it

  8. I've got the styles that are always in the pocket

  9. Well, like a bird floatin' down on a New York breeze

  10. Every thought in the mind is a planted seed

  11. So watch the mind or the thoughts will stack

  12. Before you know it, boomerangin' on back

  13. Well, I'm the king of Boggle, there is none higher

  14. I get eleven points off the word 'quagmire'

  15. Fools can't see me, that's how it is

  16. And that's how I like it and that's my biz

  17. Beatsie, Beatsie Boys gettin' live on the spot

  18. Puttin' all kinds of shame in the game you got

  19. We keep the party movin' to the broad daylight

  20. G-E-T-L-I-V-E, alright

  21. Time's an illusion as the moments race by

  22. Too fast to really grasp, though we may try

  23. Deny, 'til we die, ooh my-my

  24. These thoughts that mislead and then multiply

  25. Well, second by second and minute by minute

  26. It's like lotto, you have to be in it to win it

  27. Shakin' mind breakin' on their own demise

  28. Lies tax to the max and they'll be feelin' those vibes

  29. So tell me what you need that you have got

  30. Fiending on power will make your blood clot

  31. It starts with the greed and then goes all wrong

  32. That's why we can't all just get along

  33. We're all connected like a Lego set

  34. One equals one together like a croquette

  35. Whether we have or have not yet met

  36. Well, it ain't no thing and it ain't no sweat

  37. Beatsie, Beatsie Boys gettin' live on the spot

  38. Puttin' all kinds of shame in the game you got

  39. We keep the party movin' to the broad daylight

  40. G-E-T-L-I-V-E, alright

  41. Non-stop hip-hop, non-stop hip-hop

  42. Non-stop hip-hop, non-stop hip-hop

  43. Well, you're caught in a panic and it's rattled your brain

  44. The selfish ways just can't maintain

  45. But these are the breaks when you try and come fake

  46. Don't come with the rhymes that you just half baked

  47. Well, I'm the Benihana chef on the SP12

  48. I chop the fuck out the beats left on the shelf

  49. You be like, "Hello Nasty, where you been?"

  50. It's time you brought the grimy beats out the dungeon

  51. I jumped outside the house with my Walkman on

  52. I get so hyped when I hear this song

  53. It's gonna keep me happy like all day long

  54. So go and talk shit 'cause it just makes me strong

  55. Don't grease my palms with your filthy cash

  56. Multinationals spreadin' like a rash

  57. I might stick around or I might be a fad

  58. But I won't sell my songs for no TV ad

  59. Beatsie, Beatsie, Beatsie, Beatsie Boys gettin' live on the spot

  60. Puttin' all kinds of shame in the game you got

  61. We keep the party movin' to the broad daylight

  62. G-E-T-L-I-V-E, alright

Putting Shame in Your Game

Beatsie, Beatsie, 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 daylight

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

I've got the styles that are always in the pocket

Well, like a bird floatin' 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, boomerangin' on back

Well, I'm the king of Boggle, there is none higher

I get eleven points off the word 'quagmire'

Fools can't see me, that's how it is

And that's how I like it and that's my biz

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 daylight

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, 'til 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 have to 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 equals one together like a croquette

Whether we have or have not yet met

Well, 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 got

We keep the party movin' to the broad daylight

G-E-T-L-I-V-E, alright

Non-stop hip-hop, non-stop hip-hop

Non-stop hip-hop, non-stop hip-hop

Well, you're caught in a panic and it's rattled your brain

The selfish ways just can't maintain

Don't come with the rhymes that you just half baked
