Beastie Boys - (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!) - lyrics

YEAH!
KICK IT!

You wake up late for school - man you don't wanna go
You ask you mom, "Please?" - but she still says, "No!"
You missed two classes - and no homework
But your teacher preaches class like you're some kind of jerk

You gotta fight for your right to party

You pop caught you smoking - and he said, "No way!"
That hypocrite - smokes two packs a day
Man, living at home is such a drag
Now your mom threw away your best porno mag (Bust it!)

You gotta fight for your right to party
You gotta fight

Don't step out of this house if that's the clothes you're gonna wear
I'll kick you out of my home if you don't cut that hair
Your mom busted in and said, "What's that noise?"
Aw, mom you're just jealous - it's the Beastie Boys!

You gotta fight for your right to party
You gotta fight for your right to party

Beastie Boys - An Open Letter To NYC - lyrics

Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
Black, White, New York you make it happen
Brownstones, water towers, trees, skyscrapers
Writers, prize fighters and Wall Street traders
We come together on the subway cars
Diversity unified, whoever you are
We're doing fine on the One and Nine line
On the L we're doin' swell
On the number Ten bus we fight and fuss
'Cause we're thorough in the boroughs and that's a must
I remember when the Duece was all porno flicks
Running home after school to play PIX * 1
At lunch I'd go to Blimpies down on Montague Street
And hit the Fulton Street Mall for the sneakers on my feet
Dear New York I hope you're doing well
I know a lot's happen and you've been through hell
So, we give thanks for providing a home
Through your gates at Ellis Island we passed in droves
Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
Black, White, New York you make it happen
The L.I.E. the B.Q.E
Hippies at the band shell with the L.S.D.
Get my BVD's from VIM
You know I'm reppin' Manhattan the best I can
Stopped off at Bleeker Bob's got thrown out
Sneakin' in at 4:00 am after going out
You didn't rob me in the park at Dianna Ross
But everybody started looting when the light went off
From the South South Bronx on out to Queens Bridge
From Hollis Queens right down to Bay Ridge
From Castle Hill to the Lower East Side
From 1010 WINS to Live At Five
Dear New York this is a love letter
To you and how you brought us together
We can't say enough about all you do
'Cause in the city were ourselves and electric too
Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
Black, White, New York you make it happen
Shout out the South Bronx where my mom hails from
Right next to High Bridge across from Harlem
To the Grand Concourse where my mom and dad met
Before they moved on down to the Upper West
I see you're still strong after all that's gone on
Life long we dedicate this song
Just a little something to show some respect
To the city that blends and mends and tests
Since 911 we're still livin'
And lovin' life we've been given
Ain't nothing gonna take that away from us
Were lookin' pretty and gritty 'cause in the city we trust
Dear New York I know a lot has changed
2 towers down but you're still in the game
Home to many rejecting know one
Accepting peoples of all places, wherever they're from
Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
Black, White, New York you make it happen

Beastie Boys - (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party! - lyrics

Kick it!
You wake up late for school man you don't wanna go
You ask you mom, "Please?" but she still says, "No!"
You missed two classes and no homework
But your teacher preaches class like you're some kind of jerk
You gotta fight for your right to party
You pops caught you smoking and he said, "No way!"
That hypocrite smokes two packs a day
Man, living at home is such a drag
Now your mom threw away your best porno mag (Busted!)
[repeat chorus]
Don't step out of this house if that's the clothes you're gonna wear
I'll kick you out of my home if you don't cut that hair
Your mom busted in and said, "What's that noise?"
Aw, mom you're just jealous it's the Beastie Boys!
[repeat chorus]

Beastie Boys - Alive - lyrics

I have never been more ready in my entire life to do this right now
Its all been leading up to this moment
All right now, right here
My whole life
Weve got rhyme selection in a wide array
Jai des bonbons pour vous, mangez
The party people scream Oui oui cest vrai!
cause I got a remote for my bidet
A.D.R.O.C.K.
I use the microphone like Picasso used clay
Down with freckles from around the bay
Peace to Bambaataa and Jazzy Jay
I rock on the mic from here to Bombay
I give it my best to say come what may
Cause everybodys got their dues to pay
Im looking sideways like my man Pele
Getting on like Ali Boom ba yay
So fed up with racism today
Time to speak up and not turn away
Make the sun shine when its cloudy and gray
Dip dip dive, so-socialize
Open up your ears and clean out your eyes
If you learn to love youre in for a surprise
It could be nice to be alive
Im talking doody rhymes to a brand new height
I shine on the mic like UltraBite
Created a monster with these rhymes I write
Goatee metal rap please say goodnight
Now heres a little song that you might not like
My DJs name is Mix Master Mike
Its a real pity that you people gotta bite
But I can understand cause he sounds so nice
Reading you the news cause Im Country Mike
Use a microphone like Shazaam uses tights
Try to keep clear of that hate and spite
So I keep my mind still like the still of night
Now who in the world do you want to fight
Its against the system that we should unite
Homophobics aint alright
If you learn to love then you might love life
Dip dip dive, so-socialize
Open up your ears and clean out your eyes
If you learn to love youre in for a surprise
It could be nice to be alive
Brining back that old New York Rap
Now you can shuffle numbers but facts is facts
So many billionaires while so many lack
So before the poor decides to react
Come on party people and share up your stack
Now, Im a break it down to the brass tacks
Do the Biz Mark dance and the cabbage patch
You try to turn the key but you broke the latch
Sneak into my files for some rhymes to snatch
Id like to have a say on the income tax
Dont want to help build bombs and thats the fact
No money for health care so whats the catch
The man got you locked with no key to the latch
Mike and Adam have got my back
You bring the mic and well bring the rap
Turn on the P.A. and rock your shack
Dont smoke Cheeba, cant stand crack
Dip dip dive, so-socialize
Open up your ears and clean out your eyes
If you learn to love youre in for a surprise
It could be nice to be alive

Beastie Boys - All Lifestyles - lyrics

Ideas spark my hand grabs a pen
Sweeten up the sound let me get the right blend
Coming down the wire to the Neve mic pre
Nice up the sound for the A to D
I'm a Wonderama snake can winner
Bagel from Bob and a TV Dinner
I'm the one that one that dance contest
'Cause you know I dance the best
All you gotta do is do your thing you see
'Cause I don't give a ***** who you're supposed to be
My name is Adrock and I aim to please
And I gotta spread love in society
We gotta keep the party going on
All lifestyles, sizes, shapes, and form
What you saw what you heard
I get involved I might disturb
And if you want what's going down
You might just get that silky sound
So what'cha want? So what'cha need?
I've got the fonts you want to read
Get in the game you gotta scheme
All the same I've got the team
More new wave not OG
Walking down the block you say "Yo D!
When you coming out with the new CD
That spreads love in society?"
We gotta keep the party going on
All lifestyles, sizes, shapes, and form
Goto goto goto goto
Don't mess with crack or the baking soda
Whether in the high rise where you live like Roda
Or in the shack and you live like Yoda
Once again it's on like a brand new morn
Beatsie Beatsie Boys here to keep you all warm
All you spazzes and you freaks
Go and do your thing 'cause you're unique
If it don't hurt nobody else than
Don't be afraid to be yourself and
Special dedication and so on
to all lifestyles, sizes, shapes and forms
We gotta keep the party going on
All lifestyles, sizes, shapes, and form

Beastie Boys - Alright Hear This - lyrics

Because i grab the microphone and i pick it up
And then i ***** it up and then i turn it in
And then i turn it out, got the body rockin' sound
And then you know i'm gonna get down and
Eat a scooby snack and take disco nap
Because i'm shopping at sears, 'cause i don't buy at the gap
Sending this one out to all the funky inspirations
Pretty purdie on the drums with the beat relations
Well, i'm working on rhymes, they're coming line by line
Trying to put what i feel into word and rhymes
I've got a feeling coming on, i've got to make some shit
A little something stupid, for the twisted and sick
Because i drive like a maniac on the streets
And i don't give ***** 'cause i've got the beats
Got my nuts swingin' from left to right and
Right to left and i'm death defying
Alright hear this
Alright hear this
I spin my fortune on a wheel like sajak
Here's the payback keep going strong like since the way back
I try to be myself but i lose track
'cause the shit gets complicated now i've got to get back
As we learn to breed love for one another
In these times of melying cultures
I give respect for what's been borrowed and lent
I know this music comes down from african descent
Because i don't need a magic potion
Let me talk about back field in motion
My girls got cheeks for weeks and i'm happy
You know i'm a sneak like my old grand pappy
I gotta give thanks to my man archie shep
For staying true to inspiration and i don't half step
So i kick out the jams and tell you who i am
And i talk to the people like les mccann
(chorus)
I ask god for a rhyme or two
A little something for the wise as well as the fool
A little something to affect a little taste of change
For the together and the strong as well as the dearanged
I'll do you right like bobby knight
And then i'm rapping on the mic to the broadway light
Stomp my hands, i clap my feet and
I'm bugging off yusef lateef
I got a match to my ass and i'm a keep it lit
I need to get some cash, call my accountant britt
I'm rushing around town taking care of my functions
Always got one more thing so forget about function
We create this world and the problems go on
Create our lives and the things that go wrong
So to the deaf, the blind, look around and listen
To what it is you want and for what you're wishing
(chorus)

Beastie Boys - And Me - lyrics

Once again Im all wrapped up in me
My best friends my own worst enemy
Electricity and gravity
Oh my God now take a look at me
My life lines run by at&t
They got their wires all up in me
Is push and pull the way its got to be
Once again Im all wrapped up in me and me

Beastie Boys - 3-minute Rule - lyrics

Stay up all night go to sleep watching dragnet
Never sleep alone because jimmys the magnet
Im so rope they call me mr. roper
When the troubles arise Im the cool coper
On the mic I score just like the yankees
Get over on ms. crabtree like my main man spankee
Excuse me young lady I dont mean to trouble ya
But youre looking mighty fine inside your b.m.w.
I got lucky I brought home a kitten
Before I got busy I slipped on the mitten
Cant get better odds cause Im a sure thing
Proud mary keeps on turning rolling like a ring ding
Jump the turnstile never pay the toll
Doo wa diddy bust with the pre-roll
Customs jails me over an herb seed
Dont rat on your boy over some rat weed
Im out of your back door and into another
Your boyfriend doesnt know about me and your mother
Not perfect grammar always perfect timing
The mike stands for money and the d. is for diamonds
Roses are red the sky is blue
I got my barrel at your neck so what the ***** you gonna do
Its just two wheels and me the wind in my eyes
The engine is the music and my nines by my side
Cause you know y. a. u. c. h.
Im takin all m.c.s out in the place
Takin life as it comes no fool am i
Im goin off gettin paid and I dont ask why
Playin beats on my box makin music for the many
Know alota def girls that would do anything
A lot of parents like to think Im a villain
Im just chillin like bob dylan
I smoke cheeba it helps me with my brain
I might be a little dusted but Im not insane
People come up to me and they try to talk shit man
Ive been making records since you were sucking on your mothers dick
Girl youre walking tall now with your fancy clothes
You got fancy things going up your nose
You get fancy gifts from expensive men
Youre a dog on a leash like a pig in a pen
Mothership connection getting girls affection
If your life needs correction dont follow my direction
You got your 8 by 10 your agent your harley
You be driving around hollywood yes sorry charlie
Cause Im running things like some mack mother*****er
Your only claim to fame is youre a false fake sucker
You slip you slack you clock me you lack
While Im reading on the road by my man jack kerouac
Poetry in motion coconut lotion
I had to diss the girl because she got too emotional
Are you experienced little girl
I want to know what goes on in your little girl world
Cause Im on your mind its hard to forget me
Ill take your pride for a ride if you let me
So peace out yall Im pcp so Im out
Full throttle to the bottle and full full clout
And Im out
