Lyrics

[00:00.66] Shadrach (2009 Digital Remaster) - Beastie Boys
[00:19.55] Riddle me this brother can you handle it
[00:21.36] Your style to my style you cant hold a candle to it
[00:23.81] Equinox symmetry and the balance is right
[00:26.06] Smokin and drinkin on a tuesday night
[00:28.82] Its not how you play the game its how you win it
[00:31.19] I cheat and steal and sin and Im a cynic
[00:33.38] For those about to rock we salute you
[00:35.72] The dirty thoughts for dirty minds we contribute to
[00:38.23] I once was lost but now Im found
[00:40.68] The music washes over and youre one with the sound
[00:42.92] Who shall inherit the earth the meek shall
[00:45.41] I think Im starting to peak now al
[00:47.86] From s.s. decontrol and the man upstairs I hope that he cares
[00:49.99] If I had a penny for my thoughts Id be a millionaire
[00:52.39] Were just 3 m.c.s and were on the go
[00:54.50] Shadrach mesach abednago
[00:57.08]
[01:16.59] Only 24 hours in a day
[01:18.99] Only 12 notes a man can play
[01:21.35] Music for all and not just one people
[01:23.26] And now were gonna bust with the putney swope sequel
[01:26.09] More adidas sneakers that a plumber got pliers
[01:28.38] Got more suites that jacoby & meyers
[01:30.79] If not for my vices my bugged out desires
[01:33.18] My year would be good just like goodyears tires
[01:35.41] So Im out pickin pockets at the atlantic antic
[01:37.33]
[01:38.10] And nobody wants to hear you cause your rhymes are so frantic
[01:40.32] I mix business with pleasure way too much
[01:42.74] I mean wine and women and song and such
[01:45.07] I dont get blue I gotta mean red streak
[01:47.34] You dont pay the band your friends and thats weak
[01:49.77] Get even like steven like pulling a rambo
[01:51.91] Shadrach mesach abednago
[01:54.47]
[02:13.91] Steal from the rich and Im out robbing banks
[02:15.40]
[02:16.10] Give to the poor and I always give thanks
[02:18.35] Got more stories that j.d. salinger
[02:20.84] I hold the title and you are the challenger
[02:23.19] Ive got money like charles dickens
[02:24.64]
[02:25.46] Got the girlies in the couple like the colonels got the chickens
[02:27.87] Always go out dapper like harry s. truman
[02:30.37] Im madder than mads alfred e. newman
[02:33.31]
[02:37.68] *never gonna let them say that I dont love you*
[02:41.58]
[02:46.92] My noggin is hoggin all kinds of thoughts
[02:49.28] Adam yoggin is yauch and hes rockin of course
[02:51.84] Smoke the holy chalice got my own religion
[02:54.18] Rally round the stage and check the funky dope musicians
[02:55.99]
[02:56.55] Jerry lee swaggert or jerry lee falwell
[02:58.97] You love mario andretti cause he always drives his car well
[03:01.30] Vicious circle of reality since the day you were born
[03:03.51] And we love the hot butter on what the popcorn
[03:05.28]
[03:06.14] Sippin on wine and mackin
[03:08.82] Rockin on the stage with all the hands clappin
[03:10.92] Ride the wave of fate it dont ride me
[03:13.18] *being very proud to be an m.c.*
[03:15.57] And the man upstairs I hope that he cares
[03:17.83] If I had a penny for my thoughts Id be a millionaire
[03:19.44]
[03:20.01] Amps and crossovers under my rear hood
[03:22.80] The bass is bumpin from the back of my fleetwood brougham delegance
[03:25.36] They tell us what to do hell no
[03:27.75] Shadrach mesach abednago
[03:30.38]
