  1. And on the cool check in

  2. Center stage on the mic

  3. And we puttin' it on wax

  4. It's the new style

  5. Four and three and two and one (what up?)

  6. And when I'm on the mic, the suckers run (word)

  7. Down with Ad-Rock and Mike D and you ain't

  8. And I got more juice than Picasso got paint

  1. Got rhymes that are rough and rhymes that are slick

  2. I'm not surprised you're on my dick (Mike D)

  3. B-E-A-S-T-I-E, what up, Mike D?

  4. Aw yeah, that's me

  5. I got franks and pork and beans

  6. Always bust the new routines

  7. I get it, I got it, I know it's good

  8. The rhymes I write, you wish you would

  9. I'm never in training, my voice is not straining

  10. People always biting and I'm sick of complaining

  11. So I went into the locker room during classes

  12. Went into your locker and I smashed your glasses

  13. You're from Secaucus, I'm from Manhattan

  14. You're jealous of me because your girlfriend is cattin'

  15. There it is, kick it!

  16. Father to many, married to none

  17. And in case you're unaware, I carry a gun (word)

  18. Stepped into the party, the place was overpacked

  19. Saw the kid that dissed my homeboy, shot him in the back

  20. Man, I had to get a beeper 'cause my phone is tapped

  21. You better keep your mouth shut because I'm fully strapped

  22. I got money in the bank, I can still get high

  23. That's why your girlfriend thinks that I'm so fly

  24. I've got money and juice, twin sisters in my bed

  25. Their father had envy, so I shot him in the head

  26. And if I played guitar, I'd be Jimmy Page

  27. The girlies I like are underage (shh, check it!)

  28. Girls with boyfriends are the kinds I like

  29. I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike

  30. My father, he's jealous 'cause I'm making that green (what up?)

  31. Got a list of girlies' numbers from the places I've been

  32. There it is, kick it!

  33. You wanna know why? Because I'm-

  34. October 31st, that is my date of birth

  35. I got to the party, you know what I did? The Smurf

  36. Taxin' all the females from coast to coast

  37. And when I get my fill, I'm chilly most

  38. We rag-tag girlies back at the hotel

  39. And then we all switch places when I ring the bell

  40. I chill at White Castle 'cause it's the best

  41. But I fly to Fat Burger when (when he's) I'm way out west (check it)

  42. K-I-N-G A-D-whammy!

  43. All the fine ladies, they're on my jammy

  44. Went to the prom, wore the fly blue rental

  45. Got six girlies in my Lincoln Continental

  46. I met a girl at the party, and she started to flirt

  47. I told her some rhymes and she pulled up her skirt (check it)

  48. Spent some bank, got a high-powered jumbo

  49. Rolled up the wooly (what he do?) And I watched Colombo

  50. Let me clear my throat

  51. Kick it over here, baby, pop

  52. And let all the fly skimmies feel the beat

  53. Mmm, drop!

  54. Coolin' on the corner on a hot summer day

  55. Just me and my posse and MCA

  56. A lot of beer, a lot of girls and a lot of cursin'

  57. 22 automatic on my person

  58. Got my hand in my pocket and my finger's on the trigger

  59. My posse's gettin' big and my posse's gettin' bigger

  60. Some voices got treble, some voices got bass

  61. We got the kind of voices that are in your face

  62. Like the bun to the burger and like the burger to the bun

  63. Like the cherry to the apple to the peach to the plum

  64. I'm the King of the Ave, and I'm the king of the block

  65. Well, I'm MCA, and I'm the King Ad-Rock

  66. Well, I'm Mike D, I got all the fly juice

  67. On the checkin' at the party on the forty deuce

  68. Walkin' down the block with the fresh fly threads

  69. Beastie Boys fly the biggest heads

  70. Brooklyn!

The New Style

And on the cool check in

Center stage on the mic

And we puttin' it on wax

It's the new style

Four and three and two and one (what up?)

And when I'm on the mic, the suckers run (word)

Down with Ad-Rock and Mike D and you ain't

And I got more juice than Picasso got paint

Got rhymes that are rough and rhymes that are slick

I'm not surprised you're on my dick (Mike D)

B-E-A-S-T-I-E, what up, Mike D?

Aw yeah, that's me

I got franks and pork and beans

Always bust the new routines

I get it, I got it, I know it's good

The rhymes I write, you wish you would

I'm never in training, my voice is not straining

People always biting and I'm sick of complaining

So I went into the locker room during classes

Went into your locker and I smashed your glasses

You're from Secaucus, I'm from Manhattan

You're jealous of me because your girlfriend is cattin'

There it is, kick it!

Father to many, married to none

And in case you're unaware, I carry a gun (word)

Stepped into the party, the place was overpacked

Saw the kid that dissed my homeboy, shot him in the back

Man, I had to get a beeper 'cause my phone is tapped

You better keep your mouth shut because I'm fully strapped

I got money in the bank, I can still get high

That's why your girlfriend thinks that I'm so fly

I've got money and juice, twin sisters in my bed

Their father had envy, so I shot him in the head

And if I played guitar, I'd be Jimmy Page

The girlies I like are underage (shh, check it!)

Girls with boyfriends are the kinds I like

I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike

My father, he's jealous 'cause I'm making that green (what up?)
