(Beastie Boys/Hall/Nishita/Caldato)



(Chorus)



Like the black birds I'm a do it fluid

Building rhymes like buildings, like a Stonehenge druid

Step up and get enlightened, educating my mind

I play the tape forward, it's not time to rewind

Step inside the mother fucker and I get my flow on

Season's change when it comes their time

Falls brings the winter and on back to springtime

Well, it's the King Ad Rock and that's who I am

Listen all of y'all I'm not the Son Of Sam

'Cause I'm thin and I don't grin and I'm not a grinner

But check it out people 'cause I love to go and swim

Caught up on the phone fiber optic distraction

Information Super Highway got the brain contraction

I'm the kung fu master vs. the sumo wrestler

Got the beats in Manhatten you can hear in Westchester

Well, my mother was born out in Coney Island

Raised on the L.E.S. Manhatten Island

My dad came out from Detroit and they had me

And back on through Ellis Island goes through the family tree

Well, I'm a six point seven on the richter scale

I've got rhymes gallot and then I never fail

Like gravy on potatos, Luke to Darth Vader

I'm a souped up sucker and I'll see you all later



(Chorus)



You see me coming down the block with the funky cuts

You say Mike D. and I say mic these nuts

I've got attractions like I'm Elvis Costello

Adam Yauch grab the mic 'cause you know you're my mellow

Well when I get it into the zone

I'm gonna take my mind to a place where it's all one

My shit is on and the rhyme style's kicking

My brain is flowing honest like Abe Lincoln

'Cause I'm the fuckin' rhythm ace with the rhyme selection

Listen all y'all I rap with perfection

Because I got the mother fuckin' old school flavor

That you savor so watch your behavior

Talking other dimensions, levels higher

Why did Billy Joel say "We didn't start the fire"

Take you to another realm, another level

I've got the funky rhymes but i'm not the funky devil

I step from minute to minute, lifetime to lifetime

Step from stage to stage to see it all unwind

Slowly but surely I seek to find my mind

And every wall that I face is of my own design

Glendale Boulevard Boulevard

Glendale Boulevard is where I'm at

It's where I'm at, where I live

Check it out because my head is like a siv

And we turn it out



(Chorus)
