"Turn that shit off man! What's wrong with you man?

You know we got a party man, get the other record!"

(Here we go..)

".. (Let it go!) Just one more time!" -> from "Stix N Stonz"

[Mike D]

It's the M-I-K, E ohh to the D

I'm comin exquisite and V.I.P.

Tryin to spread some love like roots on a tree

Stayin true to this vision in the Y2G

[Dove]

Two G's got em scratchin it like the fleas

And Ad Rock got it locked like a crooked cop

[Ad Rock]

Noooooowww; it's Ad Rock, y'all remember me

The guy ya bit ya style from off the TV

[Pos]

I score Mmmma-Zah-Ayy's all day, my essays are felt worldwide

We like four planets on the mic

Aligned arrays retired all in the days

Game (baby-baby) too blam for these lames

[Ad Rock]

When I was nine, I played with slime

Got rhymes ga-lot, got rhymes ga-limes

I got a million like rhymes leavin ya stung

I got my own crew called the nasal tongue!

[Dove]

Yo take a few of these b-boys and call me in the mornin (okay)

Keep it on the crusty eye, bagel with some butterflies

Spit gritty like we in MCA's voice box

Y'all bull and my ox don't fit the mix

(Disc jock!) It be some classic material kid

(Disc jock!) Got the calm cats blowin their lid

(Disc jock!) You get plush off the rack

and buy plenty or more we got em by the stack

(Disc jock!) Got us walkin all over the world

for all the fly fellas and all the fly girls

(Disc jock!) You can't get enough when we servin this

[repeat 8X]

Come on - SQUAT!

[Pos]

Now we'd like, to introduce to you, Ad Rock

[Ad Rock]

Ad Rock in the house you don't stop!

It's the B-E-A-S-T-I-E B-O-Y-S with the most finesse

Don't mean to be crude, don't mean to be crass

But listen Guiliani you can kiss my ass (what?)

You heard my word, now Dove you play the preacher

Get on the mic if you love all the creatures

[Dove]

Well yeah I got these fishes swimmin round my baracuda

Back in '82 I used to ride a street scooter

Called em cuter than pigtails, sales you keep em level, and

smack you with a shovel and break your lifestyle (owww!)

Firm on the mic since my days of a child

Got a "License +TOO+ Ill" to flash to police

The only beast I huddles with the Beastie Boys

Bringin "Noise" like P.E. to your TV

[Pos]

Aiyyo this beat's barefoot and knock-kneed

Stripped to the rhyme!

And every line made from scratch

Attached like stripes to shell-toes

Thin spools that hold the herb

Mike what's the word? (WORD!)

[Mike D]

It's like the ooh-la-la, ooh-ooh-la-la

Rhymin over old breaks like the Mardis Gras

Party people cross and bump they go ooh and they ahh

And Mike D and Ad Rock down with the De La

(Disc jock!) Get the people dancin for real

(Disc jock!) Theater (jock!) holdin mass appeal

(Disc jock!) You can't get enough STILL

so here's another dose for you to feel!

Put ya body in it!

[repeat 8X]

Come on - SQUAT!

[Mike D]

I'm feelin good, damn good, but also confused

This stuff from hip-hop that's bein misused

It's desirin, acquirin, tryin to be like Iverson

if it means backstabbin and also conspirin

[all together]

Nowwww, the people in the front - you do the bump bump

The people in the back - they're not the whack whack

The people in the middle - come on and wiggle wiggle

And the people on the side - we can all take a ride!

[Dove]

In my VW I done swung an ep' or two

The rear in my hatchback y'all know I scratched that

Here to haystack, keep it rosy in the Rolls

Skiddin out to place my vote at the polls for Ad Rock

[Ad Rock]

Well I'm the the toe tapper, yes the hand clapper

From the middle school like the educated rapper

I'm known as an occupational MC

You think I lose sleep if you sleep on me?!

[Pos]

Its the rock solid, pilot, here to fly (ROCK!)

Reachin elevations too far for the eye (EYE!)

Miraculous beats over breaks in these packages

Seen (all over the globe) and all the types

who thinks our joints is aight, here's a swab for ya ear

(to clean out ya lobe) and listen to a few views

from two crews spittin for the art of it

We ain't takin over but damn sure takin part of it

[Dove]

Started it ever since we minced meat

You Sloppy Joe's went and took a bit of the corn dog

Stay there! I'ma play there (cuz they pay there)

In the big old Santa Claus bag got discs and now we out

[Beastie Boys]

Signin off, signin off, our work is done

So come on party people..

Have (have) have (have) have FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

".. (Let it go!) Just one more time!" -> from "Stix N Stonz"
